Take a look.

Wow, while it's a little rough looking (I know you said it's needs some finishing work) the work that must have went into the install is crazy. Congrats bro!

3500 watts?

I sure would like to see some pics of the fab process...

yeah it's still rough.. But the pro interior guys will make it pretty..

yeah, 3500+ watts.. Under the front subs there are 2 linked RF BD1501s running @ 2ohms.. a RF 400.4 runs the front doors, and 3 alpines run the rest..

The system is run on a separate circuit from the car.. I fabbed in a 160a one wire alternator as a second alternator.

I like the cup holder....OOPS that was a CD -ROM. Sorry. But I have to say that the install looks good. I hope to see the smooth finish instead of the rough.

Hell yah!!! That's freakin sweet!!! I like the hard drive trays. Was it tough to install a second alternator? Does it charge a 2nd battery?

**xpnsyd** · 08-08-2006, 12:45 AM

The 2nd alt charges 2 industrial optima yellow top dry cells behind the seats..

I used the a/c engine mount bracket and idler pulley and fabbed up a bracket where the compressor would normally go..

here is a link to some of the ideas, build and equipment before I installed it all...
