Ground Zero Amp and Sub Porn

This week I had a delivery from Connects2 (Check out the link to this very blog on the new homepage)  The delivery consisted of

A GZUA4125SQ 4 x 125wrms amp to run the speakers firing out of the boot
A GZUA2125SQ 2 x 125wrms amp to run the tweeters in the front doors
and a GZNA 1.2500DXII sub amp plus a GZNW 15 sub

the 2125SQ 2 Channel amp with accessories

The 4125SQ amp with the crossover cover removed

Lots to play with!

The 1.2500 Sub amp

The obligatory guts shot

And the sub - 1 of 8!

I also spent some time today rubbing down the wheels getting rid of some corrosion ready to repaint them.  They started off like this

After a little elbow grease and they came up really well

This week I should be getting a lot of cabling and wiring to allow me to start the cabling at the Auto Sound and Style Show and Mobile Electronics News Expo So come along and see me there - make sure you say Hi

A Busy Week Part 2 - Foam and Sound Dampening

The mission for this weekend was to finish the sound dampening and also redo some parts that I was not happy with but with the snow earlier in the week i got to try Big Black out in 4wd mode ;)

A trip to Travis Perkins saw me with a big old selection of gear (the wife works for TP so hefty discounts ahoy on this lot) - Picked up some expanding foam, a gun and gun cleaner, some PU glue (for the box build) as well as some cable ties and cable tie mounts for when i start running cables  and cleaning wipes and dust covers to stop the foam going everywhere

 

 

I started off removing sections of mat that I wasn't happy with and adding more mat to the outer panels over the rear wings before adding some foam

 

 

Also did above the rear doors and along the inside of the roof rails

 

  

  

  

I also stripped down the boot door and deadend it and added foam

 

 

  

   

Added some foam into the space above the windscreen

We then finished off the rest of the sound dampening - making sure to roller everything down hard - following some comments on the sound deadening i decided to get a better roller and make sure it was done right this time!

The whole build thus far has been powered by this stuff! I doubled up on the roof - as you can see in the back ground I also covered the board supporting the sunroof

   

I was not really happy with the doors so ended up redoing them

  

 

 

 

 

And finally Some of you may remember bass kitteh from my previous install

 

Well here is Megatron helping again

A dirty Big Black!
