Progress on my install + lots PICS (TFONE)

Hey everybody!

Lots of you don't know who the **** I am but I started a thread on these forums a while ago about the equipement I wanted to buy and all for my car audio. For people who do remember, even for ppl who don't, this thread will be the continuing of this one:Previous thread

Ok, on with my install! First thing first, the wiring and the battery! Redtop 34 and a Phoenix Gold Battery terminal (20$). I haven't completed the BIG III, need more 0 gauge.













After that i started on the box building Vented box tuned to 32.1hz out of 3/4mdf.







Then came my amplifier! Hifonics Brutus BXi1608D 1600WRMS @ 1ohm.







Then a month later cam my subwoofer, a 15" Dual 2 ohm voice coil! YAY
( Oh I was so excited when i heard my doorbell ring this morning D: Thanks yuli!)

A video of me unpacking the TFone:

Video 2







Other stuff. I went to my local audio shop while coming back from school to get some crimps and WOW look what I stumbled upon! Theres like this sale going out and they have a tente set-up outside and I was speaking with the owner and check the stuff I got!

Video 1


Power Acoustik METER 4

Retail: $119
My price: $30









2nd item: A Phoenix Gold Ditrubution Block, the owner said he used it back in the days when he was doing audio competitions. Its all gold, 3 0 gauge inputs, couple of 2 or 4 gauge ouputs and this one output Igot no clue about, its also as 4x60 32v fuses with LEDs. He said back in the days, he bought that for about 600$, he sold it to me for 50$











NOw let me go install my mang!! Ive spent about 1 hour doing this thread! :P Ill report when I install more stuff.

Peace!

I was afraid of such... oh well, winter is coming, ill probably stop the audio after i get some decent component speakers and continue next year.

Ye, lots of tuning.. ive done a bit today, not much, had lots of work.

"I ordered a 15"... because I FELT like it."
**** ye! Rofl

I got some vids and pics of install, I WILL be moving the amp, rattles way to much the way it is.

Was testing out some paint colors.. lol



The baging noise is NOT the sub bottoming out, its the amp rattleling HARD against the box... i think.

Ill Post more testes with more songs and what not.
