Dustin, thanks for the info on the copper bars. I am going to check out a few local places that sell copper here and see how much it will cost. After that depending on price, I will also speak with some power wire companies. The two that are looking nice right now are knukonceptz as well as shok industries. They both seem to be comparable quality as well as willing to work with competitors who will promote their products. No pics tonight... hopefully I can get some more on tomorrow or saturday.

i recently priced copper from a fabrication shop local to me, the price was based on weight. i priced for 12ft of 3/4" x 1.5" for $470, so say 3/4" x 3" would have been $940

I will probably go with 1/0.

Spencer, give me a call when you get home and we will test that battery in your vehicle.

I am surprised you brought this topic up so early Dustin. Actually the game is that when you buy bear you must buy only pop off bottles. It seems fine until you realize the game is that you must open one with a different nearby item every time. Some of my accomplishments in the last few week have been opening a beer with a broom handle, bottle cap, pool cue, microwave and pizza cutter.


The only problem is the secret weapon(s) is much more useful then a broom handle or pizza cutter. Stay tuned until tommorrow, i will show up an update for sure.

Yes sir. I was planning on bending them to the contour of the vehicle and then bring them up near the amps. I am starting to think a lot of power wire may be a better idea.

I didn't figure it would be too bad with a big vise and a torch. Was expecting it to take a day or two to build them.

For now i might just run the spare 10 or so runs I have just to get it playing, and then remove it once I decide which route I want to go with
