Default Re: Worklog - Road RagE II (2007 Tundra)

The straight RCA connecters were too long to plug to the amps so I had to order some short stemmed 90° ones:



These new connecters are soldered on and the cables routed:





The amplifier outputs are connected to the crossovers:





And the covers for the crossovers are replaced:



The new crossovers use quick connects - gotta question Alpine's choice using those for this tier of product. Since I am not trusting of a simple friction fit I chose to solder the wires in place instead.

Anyhow, finally I can install the subs! I used some #12 speaker wire left over from my home theater install:





I stuck duct seal along the rims:



And here we are:



Remember, that is the underside of the enclosure - the subs will be downfiring. I suppose I could have painted it <shrug>


Wow - let me tell you this assembly is heavy! I knew it was going to be but it is so heavy I can barely move it

Next, I have to hook up the amps' remote inputs and provide power to the radio and wireless amplifier but for the most part this portion is complete. Next week I can get this in the truck and start rerouting my power runs to the heavy lines in the back.
