First up a brief caveat, I've posted this in pictures because it has some, although I did consider mods/electrical/audio, because it is. Please move if deemed in/appropriate.

Due to two incredibly bad men. Kully being the main party and Mr Jones being a willing accomplice I now have no room in the boot of my car for my child's push chair.

Several weeks of assembling bits, starting with a PBX DV15.2, several meters of cabling thick enough to support the average single span suspension bridge, volt gauges, distribution blocks, and amplifier you could run a small town off and sundry other bits of electrical mayhem.

I have spent a couple of happy days tearing the carpets and seats out of my car, threading wires through tiny door grommets and other cable routing that required me to position myself in ways that I thought only Olympic gymnasts and circus contortionists were capable off.

The end results so far (please be gentle, it still needs trimming although plans are afoot)

Starting at the front is a 150a fused voltmeter sporting a rather fetching red 0awg cable, mounted on a piece of military issue aluminium checkerplate.

Moving swiftly through the car because there is nothing to see.....really there is nothing to see. I'm quite pleased about that :)
We then arrive at the back seats.
Sporting a pair of fusion amps powered live from a distribution block and individually earthed to robust seat mounting bolts.

And then we reach the boot....or what's left of it. A thing of much beauty it is not...but there are plans...oh yes...many plans.

It works. Which considering I did most of the installation myself is a surprise in itself.
It's...kinda loud in a way that very doesn't seem to cover.
I've discovered many new rattles and been suitably told off by Kully with regards to my head unit settings. The real learning curve now begins :)

Thank you for reading.
 
Happy to have been able to help Alan, definitely needs a tune up as it were but go sensible with volumes until then glad to see my old kit back making lots of noise!.

JJ
 
BAD! BAD!............Very BAD misters doing that to Alan's nice car, and you'r no better Alan, what were you thinking of, letting those two loose within a mile of your lovely car. :LOL:
As you may know, i'm not into all this new fangled "I-C-E" i prefer my old 78's :) but i can seriously appreciate fine art, and a nice bit of kit.
Well done guys (y)
 
Haha....nice setup Alan and I don't even need to guess as to how loud it is :LOL:

Just be careful with the volume or you may see the bootlid flying off into the distance in your rear view mirror :eek:
 
Ah Nooooooooooo!!!!!! Now there's 3 of the noisy b4st4rds to contend with!! LOL Al, looks like Kully and JJ have led you astray...but in a good way. So, then you'll be deaf before your 60th Birthday! lol
 
Just looks big in the picture, remember Neils! that was huge, and yours and Kullys systems were probably a lot LOUDER with smaller box's ;) one day I may get you to designe my new box (when I have some money to pay for it :LOL:)
 
Good write up Al!! It's all your fault really, when you said "I'd like to have......", that's where it went wrong! :LOL:

Took a while getting this far, BUT, you know have proper good quality kit in there that won't need upgrading for some time! A far cry from the original plan I know, however the original criteria was very distorted with offers of crazy kit!! :) That's the only bit I take responsibility for!!

Be gentle with it for now as we discussed on the phone, the next stage of setting up and tuning will come in time and then we'll get that Top Secret trimming material arranged soon and get it finished up for you too!

Happy Cougar destroying ;) (y)
 
Kully you know yourself and JJ are a bad influence!. You carry on at this rate you will get the DBS before I do.:devilish::devilish::devilish::devilish::bomb:
