My install part 1a :)

Lummox · 08-12-2004, 16:02

Had alot of fun this morning starting my install. Finished the actual build of the boot now. Part 1b wil be the wiring up, ive got some 4awg cabling which should be plenty and some nice fuse holders etc.

Have a look...

Blimey you dont waste time do you? That would of taken me a week to get that far and that is no joke

Looking very smart though

boyced · 08-12-2004, 17:33

looking very good... any plans to install some fans in there or will there be enough air flow?

devonutopia · 08-12-2004, 17:38

hmmm. best not say what I picked up last night.

bengie · 08-12-2004, 17:40

only thing i think might look better is if the sub wasn't sunk in quite so much so that the cone was fully exposed but still a very good looking job

Yeah its not ideal, I didnt want to mount the box any higher, i could have upended it and had the sub upwards but then the port hole would have been covered.

The Genesis amp allready has its own built in cooling fan, I would think there is more than enough air circulation to supply it, its not sealed in there, but I could allways add a fan if want to without to much trouble if it struggles.

cool, I noticed all the holes for airflow. If its got an inbuilt fan then it should be ok. My previous JBL amp didn't have any fans!

Joel_vRS · 08-12-2004, 20:19

with one amp in that instal it wil be fine... even on teh hottest of summer days... doest look like there is any perspex over it so the top of teh amp is exposed dissapating plenty of heat..

Joel

No perspex, but there is polycarbonate

But as mentioned theres plenty of airways in and room for air to circulate.

doer1 · 08-12-2004, 20:33

Green Neon... you must have read my mind.... got two forthe install.... when I get time to finish it

faboka vrs · 09-12-2004, 00:46

Alright Ross. Looking good

Some pictures on where to run the power cable.

When pulling the cable through watch you dont pull the gromet out like i did. Its on the "to do" list to sort out.

Lummox · 09-12-2004, 01:21

Cheers mate, much appreciated

Very nice Ross. Been busy I see.

devonutopia · 09-12-2004, 23:30

Ross... may need a chat to see how a certain "element" of your build was done...

I kind of have something to add to mine and wondering the best way of doing it - I got theories, I just need someone in the know to recommend the best!

Lummox · 09-12-2004, 23:33

OK mate. If you follow the link in the top post it gives you sort of how to, step by step.

Lummox · 17-12-2004, 20:40

Ive now updated the false floor so its clears the sub and recovered in a darker carpet.

What ya think? Better?

fab16v · 17-12-2004, 21:06

Ross, your car is DIRTY!!!!
