The truck:
Dual high output alternators (1-280 amp, and 1-200amp add on) also, yellow top, and blue top optimas
(this is for 2 pictures down, my bad): Man! do i need 2 more quart 8's! lol-soon. hard to see 2nd pcx2400 hanging beneath the first, and can't see (4) boston gtr 12" passive radiators hanging under the box, downfiring. also, not in picture-2 more blue top optimas
the passives, inside the box (Don't ask!!!)
So, that's my daily drive- that's what's up! still working on it, will get to f/glass center channel probably next week. hopefully get the missing pair of 8's soon too. and, then, i will need to figure out a better way to mount the 2400's. they just want to be seen.
This wasn't my original design, I was just going to run 2 amps, and tried 2-10's and 2-12's. it sounded good, but i kept smoking the 12's (3 pair). so, i upped to 4-12's, and tried the 4-passives-doubled up on the amps: now i am satisfied. maybe next year i'll yank it out and do it all in contoured fiberglass- time allowing. I can't wait to see faces at the shows this year- not too bad, for just a hobby.
Center channel (soon to be replaced with fiberglass enclosure)
...and 2 more ppis hidden behind the box
it looked like this 2 weeks ago, before the fiberglass box for the highs/midbass
my old whip-infinity qx4- i have to find a better pic of this
-i'll post more pics of any updates that are worth taking your time to look at- thanks

ok, got those missing 8's!!!
and i forgot about the 7" visor screens i put in, too- with a back-up camera under the rear bumper. i wasn't all that happy with my work on these, but, whatever for now.

some red paint and red wire loom to spice it up
the dashboard with sirius stilletto and add on cd player crammed in there- i need to neaten it up with some glass when i have time-also a easily visible volt meter to keep an eye on things.
"throw some d's on it!" 22" rennen 2 piece black w/polished lip and toyo proxes-it is a different truck!
just a close up
and, of course the new crimestopper two way paging alarm. i downloaded a doorbell ringtone for when the alarm goes off (i have two pitbulls that go ballistic when they hear a doorbell-lol. there will be no sleeping through a burglery!!!)

some pics (not that great) of my old car-99 infinity qx4. full front/back/side/side airbag setup (with dual tanks, dual compressors, fast valves, and full function remote control), 4 premier 12's, 4 aura bass shakers (for the ladies) under the seats, ppi pcx 2400, ppi pcx 4125, ppi pc 4800.2, 2 optima blue tops, 1 yellow top, h.o. alternator, all mb quart q series highs, avx 7300 dvd screen with 9000r brain, compustar spread spectrum remote start/alarm, too much other crap to list. and, obviously, lit up inside and out with blue neons and leds.
-lit up at night
-tough to see, but all the airbag setup and amps on 3/4 inch pvc pipe racks. can you tell i am a pool man?

ok, switching it up a little- took out the pc4800.2 and the pcx 4125 and replaced them with 2 jl audio 300/4 amps. i kept getting noise from the ppi's, and i am very happy with the change so far
BIG addition: the rockford fosgate 3six
ty.2!!! this thing is sick! new, improved version of the symmetry. ALL of the gains on all of my amps now rest at 0%!!!
and the palm pilot that controls everything now:
some paint on the door trims:
and some on the dash- a little bright at first, but it is growing on me:
and i fiberglassed into the windshield pillars a series of bright blue leds that chase up and down, i wanted to bring attention to the vehicle that it has a good alarm. still debating on painting to match, but it blends right in with the primer.

hey- i've been away for a while, but finally have a minute to post some of changes to my truck. i posted it before, but have never finished- keep changing my mind and time is precious, so i just do what i can, when i can. i have rebuilt the stock alternator to 240 amps. i added a second alternator, and then i had it rebuilt up to a 280 amp, that puts out about sixteen volts. i have two separate electrical systems. the truck has an optima yellow top, and the stereo and accessories have three blue top optimas, with a solar panel and controller to keep the batteries topped off when parked. this wa my play truck, but has now become a daily drive/work truck. note the roof racks to hold my poles that dont fit in the cap. truck is sittin on 22 inch black with polished rennan rims with toyo proxe tires. slotted rotors and low dust hd brake pads help it stop. dual 2 inch flowmaster exhaust with custom 3 inch intake, throttle body spacer, and hypertech programmer to make it move. in the cap, i have installed a dozen white led light clusters to see inside at night. now, for the stereo; 4- boston acoustic g5 12" subs and 4-gtr 12" passive radiators (hidden downfiring under box) boxis completely glassed over with five layers on the insides for added strength. powered by an earthquake 42000bx amplifier: the best part is that i have another identical amp sitting in my basement that i am just dying to get a chance to put in too, and pretty it up. two jl 300/4 aps running: 3 pairs of mb quart q-series components, one pair of 6.5 inch mb quart coaxials, and 4-mb quart reference 8" midbass (in a completely fiberglass enclosure with 4 -6.5's). splitting up the power where it needs to go are TWO- rockford fosgate 3sixty.2 crossovers. also have a 15 farad alumapro cap. head unit is a premier 980bt with a single disc pioneer changer below it. sirius stiletto and pioneer direct xm so there is always something to listen to on a long drive. two visor screens are connected to a rear view camera, and also hard wired with a plug for my ipod touch to watch movies. and an extra aux jack in case my friend wants to hear something (loud-lol)off of his zune. i may have missed some stuff, but you get the picture. pics didnt come out so hot, maybe i will update later if i have time.
..i have to get matching wheels for the trailer, and paint it red.
i do ALL my own work. if its not perfect, whatever. its plenty good enough to make me happy. and this thing really pounds! i gt to get it on ameter and see what numbers it does. whatever the case, my dashboard moves on the low notes, and every word is clear as a bell. full 5.1 surround.
guess thats all i can think of, thanks for looking. im always open to ideas. hopefully will have the other amp in soon and will post those pics too.

hi again- thanks for merging the two posts i made. i just started putting some vinyl on the truck and thought i would snap a few before the business name and phone numbers are on it. my friend works for a sign shop and designed the waves for me. i just wanted to grab a little more attention when i drive by.
and, of course, a little humor for anyone interested:
(says: " yes i am the pool man, and yes, thee stories are true!)
