Well here is one shot of the finished product I think they look killer. The color is rustoleum metallic charcoal, I painted a bike the same color as it turns out. I still need to buy a center cap for one wheel but man this makes the car look so much better. And yea i kno lots of wheel gap

 

i'm not a fan of those rims, but i like what you did with them

 

Thanx, yea i hate em to but i've decided to stay with stocks with the road conditions around here

 

Well now onto putting a aftermarket hu in. I am confused on how to bypass the amp. So hopefully i can figure it out, that's the current project for me.

 

rims + sound system + big 3 in a few months

 

Looks good I like the color

 

Well the aftermarket hu sounded like crap since i spliced in wires to bypass the factory amp. So i put back in the factory. When i get time i plan on running all new wires,

 

changing all the interior bulbs to led whenever they get here. then planning on getting 35% tint after i get my inspection done. but right now im keeping an eye out for 19x9.5 work vs-xx wheels

 

vs-xx

 

just finished the big 3 today and got rid of my 100a breaker and put in my 200 a wow makes a huge diff it doesn't shut off anymore and is loud as hell

 

Another person realizes the importance of the Big 3...

 

yea i dont know if the 200 a breaker did more or what. But I did put a multi meter on my batt im only dropping to 12.40 at idle and that's with young jeezy welcome back playing,it's non stop pure beating. I wonder if i even need a bigger alt, or another batt since im not dropping to much. Thoughts>?

 

If you plan on pushing the system hard a lot of the time, I'd pick up a small to middle sized rear battery... Something like a Kinetik HC800 or Powermaster S680. Mechman's running a huge sale on the S680 on CACO... I'd definitely check that out... The only other thing you'll need is another breaker to go before the rear battery, but you can find them pretty cheap... It's more for insurance than anything, but it still wouldn't hurt...

 

ok well would i put it between the 2nd batt and amp? since i would already have one between batts?

 

you don't have to have 1 after the second batt and before the amp (I'm not) but it's a very good idea to have 1. The only reason I don't is because I didn't have 1 when I hooked up my amp... The breaker between the batts near the rear batt is to keep that batt from shorting out, should something cut the wire connecting the 2. The same thing goes for the fuse/breaker near the front batt.

 

ok ill keep that in mind i am going to hang back for now as the system is where i want it (but that wont last long)lmao i was leaving target and was pumpin it up pretty loud a lady put her hands over her ears and was cussin me ahh good times. im gonna be spending some cash to a table saw as i have a few ppl wanting me to build them boxes. and also im tryin to find a nice big powder coating oven for the cheap so i can do bigger stuff. I just did a set of atv rims and they look killer now im wantin to do car rims. so my cash flow is gonna get hurt a bit

 

just got my rims in, now all i need is to get em mounted and then i gotta get new tires... my front tires look like slicks

Now im lookin at gettin 2 Kicker L5s in a ported box, but i got no clue what amp (amps) to use for them. im pretty sure they run around 600rms and 4ohms.

 

just wondering why l5'z ????? I'm mean they sound pretty good and are for the cheap. 4 ohm why run at 4 ohm? are you familiar with sub wiring if you get 2 dual 4 ohm you can wire em down to 1 ohm and make em slam.

 

Bridge those 4 ohms down to 1 ohm

 

600rms at 1 ohm sounds like a Rockford Fosgate T500...

 

Ok guys a little update i put the leads from the meter on the amp im dropping to 11.40 volts at idle. I guess i am gonna have to do something there.

 

This sounds like an idea...

 

yea I will do that may take a bit as all my moneys is going into more tools and powder coating supplys my biz is kickin up with warm weather comin. gonna pick up a router table saw etc got ppl wanting boxes made so should be interesting.

 

im not the smartest when it comes to wiring subs... i know how to install the basics... so PLEASE HELP ME. i could PM u so i dont whore up the thread if that would be better...

 

ohh and i just got my rims mounted... check em out

I know the feeling... I have 1 for a buddy sitting in my garage right now...

 

well if your amp is 1 ohm stable and your subs are 4 ohm wire your subs together take the first sub go + to + and - to - with speaker wire then do the same to the other sub. nezt link them together one speaker wire from 1 + to the other speaker + then the same with the -. then take a + to anp and - to amp. if still confused just google it.

 

Please take to PM, this thread is already way off topic

Wheels look nice man

Beautiful day out today, need to finish my big 3 and ground wires so I can drive my car soon

 

bulbs, complete.

 

sexiness

 

Presents from ack auto, now i can finish my wiring project

 

I remember swapping my interior with LEDs... Looks cool but I couldn't see shit even though they were bright as hell. Didn't like the cold feeling of the light either. Does look pretty sweet though.

btw, what led bulbs did you use for your tails? Are they noticeable brighter than stock bulbs?

 

i didnt swap out the tails haha, i only swapped the licence plate bulb as far as exterior bulbs went

 

my nuts came in today...they were blue

 

some of you have real nice project!!!
As for me, I am working on a 86 Hatchback Accord. My baby. And some left time on my coupe 98 Accord.

I love some much the LED job some did, sick!

 

hatch accord? anyways, my lugs came in...blue work RS lugnuts... rims to be slapped on tomorrow...

 

I know we arn't supposed to make fun of sp or grammer errors but HOLY SHIT!!

Haha, I'm just messen man...kindof.

So a little update for my retrofit... Apperently I mounted the projos upside down. Gonna have to take everything appart again. At least I have the backing and everything else pre-fabricated.
