hi guys! now its time for the woofer box This box is sort of a temp box as I have something in the works and those motors are kinda big, not too sure if they'll fit inside this box as space is a little tight Total volume is around 9 cub ft. It was supposed to be tuned around 32hz, but i think i kinda mis-calculated the port length ( too long), so its tuned a little lower anyway, here are the pcis using 1" MDF all around, i got dual 6" precision ports cutting out the port hole test fitting checking out the front baffle sub lying around sub hole cut out gluing on the 2nd baffle screwing it down now test fitting it into the truck checking to see if the mounting holes line up with the mounting points taking a quick snooze Stay tuned for more! cheers!

hi guys! and now, as request by some, its time for what goes inside the cabin Since this is a pick up truck, and there's no way i can do a blow through and no way in hell i'm doing a wall ( truck's too expensive to mess it up that way) It'll be easier to just have a massive box in the back seats. BUt anyway, first thigns first, gotta build a frame to hold the box down to the truck so here goes: guess there'll be more more back seat action for me now test fitting all done heehhe.. and now lets see what we hve here stay tuned in for more

Hi guys! and now for more fun!!! Time to get the Big Daddy Hooked up! Man i love these inputs! but a big pain to wire up! haha a little acrylic cover finally done Now to hook up the rear batteries: now to hook up the front battery i have 4 runs of +ve and 4 runs of -ve. Since i have easy access to some copper buss bars, might as well use them making a little stand for the fuse holders and getting the ground wires and big 3 wires all hooked up a little cover test fit and finally done and a little sneak on whats coming up next

hey people! now got the good stuff. its time for the BIG DADDY to be mounted! for those asking, amp is just a simple 8.5kw amp the amp base some holes for some kind of ventilation time to soder up the wires test fitting the inputs top view RCA may look whimpy, but looks can be deceiving getting ready to wire up the amps.. 9 positive and 9 negatives inputs.. heheh all with the SHok Reference Pro 5285 More fun coming up soon! cheers!

Hi guys! So now that the front stage is done, its time to wire up the rear. safety first, fuse holders Using a big bunch of the Reference Lite fuse holders ( a whole lot of them) mounting them thinking what can be done on this side of the battery rack running the woofer wire next up, the fun parts. keep a look out! cheers all!

pulling some fabric over it add some bondo sanded down getting everything wrapped up in vinyl putting down the covers add some lights and bam! amp rack down stay tuned for more fun stuff coming up soon!

hi guys! now for the 2nd part of the highs and mids amp build. the amps cardboard cut out of the covers got the covers up now for the fuse distro block ( FW 124DB) getting the cover up for the fuse distro

Hi guys! Now that the battery rack is done, its time for the highs and mids amplifiers. so anyway, here is what is going in. Its a simple 3 way active front setup.. tweets and mids powered by the GZ Reference 4 XS , Mid bass powered by the GZ Reference 2 XS. Headunit and Processor is the Alpine DVI 9990 + H9990 ( #F1 status) so here goes Front shot of the truck getting the HU wired up laying out the 9990 processor an idea on the layout using the FW 324 PD as a ground and FW 124DB as a power distro Interconnects and speaker wires are prototype stranded wires. these will be the new FLO V2. i got a very special mix of copper inside these cable.. now doing the base board for the amp the lovely FLO plugs. now to run the power to these amps. My front battery is already too cramped up, so we're pulling power from the rear battery bank. these amps are gonna be happy with POWA! Using Shok Reference Pro 1/0 awg cable. Sad thing is, i sold most of my red 1/0 awg cable, so i had to make do with the grey that i had left pulling fromt he bed thru the fender directly into the fuse distros and ground block Lastly, pulling the woofer cable. Using Shok 8 awg power cable Stayed tuned to part 2 soon! cheers!

hi guys So if you guys refer to the previous few post, i had a battery rack made out of MDF that dam thing decided to break on me, thank goodness i didnt have any amps inside when it broke! so I had a steel metal rack made to hold the batteries this time. the frame is bolted to the bed.. so here comes the pics The metal frame the 10 ABX AGM batteries had to trim off some of the frame to fit the battery terminals now to add the buss bars! saved a lot of time using them! and its time to finally charge up these babies!! stay tuned for more!!

hey all! now for some sound dampening!! I'm using STP as sound dampening for my whole truck I got the Bomb in my doors and now for gold for the rest of my truck. bad thing abt the mit triton are that they are really noisy inside. a layer of STP gold does wonders! anyway, here are the pics! the lovely truck got it hooked up to the charger let the dampening begin! now for the roof hmmm.. even looks quieter now carpets goes in and we are done next up.. more amps heheh

So now, after having got the wire pulled, we move onto the battery and amp rack. I'll be running 10 pieces of ABX AGM batteries. the local distributor is a friend of mine, so he hooked me up so here it is.. a test fit first. the Shok Big Daddy, aka 8.5k getting the rack cover done . got it sprayed black first batteries going into their new home.. heheh The lid i got for my truck was a 2nd hand lid ( flew it in from Australia), had to replace some rubber parts so as to keep the bed water proof. hmmm.. got wire?? stay tuned for more... pics coming up soon!!!!

hi all, finally got some time to arrange out the wiring pictures for my truck. Anyway, here it goes. I'm using a total of 8 runs of Shok Reference Pro CCA in my ride. well, i extremely confident in the capabilities of my CCA cable and i'll run it in my own truck This will be my competition/ daily/ demo truck Cars down here cost literally more than an arm and a leg, so cant afford to have a few demo cars around anyway, here's the pics pulling the first run.. dam forgot that i had sleeves lying around 8 runs of 1/0 awg running under the truck Adding more tubing for additional protection under the truck. we're a tropical country and weather here can get pretty crazy.. hahaha.. getting it all zipped tied up and now to get all that wire out onto the truck bed and we are done amp rack coming up soon! stay tuned!

Now its time for the doors I got a hook up with STP down here. Used their bomb on the doors . Down here, we have tested STP against dynamat extreme and STP is the really hardcore stuff! Your door will never feel the same when you have the bomb installed! hahaha.. what's unique abt STP is that they offer various sound dampening/ sound insulation products that go hand in hand. Thus unlike the old convention sound dampening methods whereby u only have 1 kind of mat on the door, with STP, you can have 3-4 different kinds of mats in the door that when combined together, produce the best sound insulation results also, had the door pods made for the 6" drivers. some pics for you guys stripping the door STP Bomb Another layer of STP sound insulation goodness to absorb road noise outer layer and the final layer to damp out any stray vibrations anywhere the door speaker mounts Next up, some wiring fun. heheh,, stay tuned!

hi guys! Sorry for going missing for some time, but anyway, here's some more install pics of the system. The front stage will be a 3 way active one. Tweets and mid range will be in the A pillars. So here we go: guys decided to try a new way to get the base of the pillar to mould to the dash Driver side wrapping it up some putty and its ready keep a look out for more!

hi guys, so here's an update of whats going inside the shok demo truck and also some pics of them Head unit. Alpine #F1 DVI 9990 + H9990. For speakers front stage: I'll be running Ground Zero GZPC + GZPM 3" high mid, 3 way active setup For sub stage, I'm using 2 Big Shok V1 18" woofers To power the subs will be the Shok Big Daddy! Battery Bank will be 10 pieces of ABX AGM 75aH batteries in the back Power cable used in this truck will be my Reference Pro CCA 5285 strands 1/0 awg cable You may wonder why I choose to use this cable when i have access to the Competition and Elite in my store? I have great confidence in my entry level 1/0 awg product. I stand behind my entry level 1/0 awg cable Now for my front stage amps I'm using 2 pieces of Ground Zero Reference XS amps, 1 4 x 120 watt amp and another 2x 200 watt amp here's some pics of the amps and some gut pics We did some prior testing with these amps, some interesting AB results . these are the little brothers of the big reference series amps . anyway, stay tuned for more ! cheers all!
