I like the concept of a clean build that is still budget minded.

But you bought it once and now you should be fine for a longer period of time, better to get a futureproof system than always upgrading something ​@@DIYAudioGuy

You can buy threaded inserts that can be melted into the plastic. They are pretty fantastic. You basically mount them onto the solder iron let it heat up and press it in.

Now everyone sees why most people in the car audio field buys suv’s. Just easier to remove rear seats and have plenty of space to work with

Oh man I like those square terminals on the JL amp!! I bet they're much easier to get wire into than the usual round terminals.

That's wild! I have the same two amplifiers in my system. They seem to be perfect and for their size and offer very good power density.

Its overwhelming trying to figure out where to place components and how to mount them in a truck. I have the same problem with my 2011 sierra extended cab. To add insult to injury the floor has a lot of strange contours to it and there is only 1 tiny flat area on each side. I would remove that cup holder in your truck and cut the bracket right off and save it in case you want to put it back.

Justin great video 📸

Trinity audio makes an 8 channel amplifier for $325. 4 channels are stronger than the other 4. Supposedly for running tweeters and mids or something.

i like the fuse that u use i wanna buy ones like them

@DIYAudioGuy

3 ай бұрын

I think I put a link to the fuse holder in the video description, they even come with fuses.

I have a gen 4 RAM 1500; I fit a JP4300, a large and small Hertz 4 channel amp, Audiocontrol 810 DSP, SMD 6 spot fuse holder and 4 spot ground distro all on the back wall. Not sure where you had issues, but would be happy to send you pics if you’re interested in layout ideas.

Ughhh JL but understand upgrading to an 8ch amp and saving a few bucks via scratch n dent so it can slide. So far the rack, placement, and wire management look great! 👍

That looks pretty good. I think I would have permanently removed that cup holder. Even if I had to cut it out with an angle grinder and a cut-off disc. Lol. The only thing I would have done different is to use tinned copper lugs instead of bare copper. The bare copper tends to oxidize over time and you lose some electrical contact. Are you going to add another piece of wood across the front to cover the top of the amp rack? That would give you some extra protection as well as hide your equipment. You'd be able to toss anything in the back and not worry about it hitting and scratching something.

Did you say the cup holder is welded to the floor? Clean setup. I can see how the old one was causing issues. Space wise

@DIYAudioGuy

3 ай бұрын

Yes, there's a metal bracket that's welded to the floor, and the plastic cup holder sits in that bracket.

What was that tool you used to cut the power cable insulation?

Justin i don't have a router table but do have a hand held router. You think i could mount my abs amp rack to a table with clamps . Clamp a jig guide and then use hand router to do round overs along the rack ?

@DIYAudioGuy

3 ай бұрын

For a thicker material, like 3/4-in MDF, yes. But you're probably working with 1/4-in ABS. The trick is making sure that you're making a safe cut. You'll need to make sure the ABS is supported, it's so thin that it will be easy to bend. Clamp it right to the edge of the work surface so that the router bearing is on the work surface.

Audiocontrol DM810 would've taken place of the DSP and the 8ch amplifier, but it's definitely not cheap.

@DIYAudioGuy yea I was thinkingbthat was the 1 with built in amp but it's not. I was thinking of the 6.1200 it's a full DSP with the amp built in and can daisy chain to other amps while controlling the signal to them as well. I was thinking they had an 8ch version.
