Topic: 2nd year NW Build..Testing amps is done and
A few pics to get things started for my NEW BETTER NW build. This is going in my 1994 Chevy Cargo Astro van. All this is going to be power by 4 Colossus XXV amps( have 2 ordering 2 more). 16 Interstate workaholic batterys....and of course a MAXXLINK. 2 Apx subs have been ordered with D1.1 coils. 2 180 Alt's will be here SOON.....if they ever get the rest of the parts to finsh building them. Other wise I will haev to look into a diffrent model. 6 more runs of 2/0 welding cable are being installed....off the Alts seeing how there isn't even a battery under the hood. The van will be undergoing some frame work shortly to allow for all the added weight, as this WILL be street driven DAILY. There will be MANY more pics to come.

Well finshed the sides of teh box tonight. Made it as far as test fitting EVERY thing. So heres a little of what it looks like. To make sure I stay with in the rules I opted to cut the panel as opsed to the gas filler neck. Well slight issue with the triming for the filler neck....have to trim a LITTLE more of the side. Final was able to fit the right side panel....with a press fit into the b-pillar and the rear side frame....and huges the wheel wells. Managed to do it all with out cutting on the van....BUT REALY wished I could have would have made for a LOT bigger box, but there's alawas next year. Got cought trying to take a nap...but at 7 dergees F it was kinda hard. Front of box is channeled to fit the B-pillar. Was final able to fit the left side around the gas filler neck. Turned out I just need a BFH to make it fit. [ 02-27-2008, 11:00 PM: Message edited by: PeteS ] -------------------- Super Street No Wall -----TeamTjsAudio--------

Plan is to finsh the box tommorow at the shop. The top plate took 4 people to set in the van....and not even trying to square any thing up. So should have some pics of the asambled box....well at least the top...bottom and side's. The face won't be cut till the subs arive. The rear wall will be built after I figure out where every thing will sit. -------------------- Super Street No Wall -----TeamTjsAudio--------

The box is now screwed together. The top plate is not in the final resting place because I don't have new seat's...that will allow leg room and safe driveing. So here's some more pics. -------------------- Super Street No Wall -----TeamTjsAudio--------
