kicker mono amp is 400 max watts x1

avalanche 4ch amp is 600 max wattz.... so thatll mean 150x4?

so all up 1000watts.. RMS is usually half of that isnt it?, so 500W all up?

EDIT:

found THIS DIAGRAM ON CARdomain. it does answer my question on the 4 gauge, but at the same time it makes me ask a couple more questions!?!

can anyone fully understand this diagram? and explain it back in here for me 2 understand??\

im in the process of installing a second amp into my rolla and i bought a POWER DISTRIBUTION BLOCK to split the power coming from the battery to go into both amps.

now for 1 amp,and the 8 gauge cable ive already installed works just fine. HOWEVER, the distribution block that i bought fits 1x4gauge cable for the input(from the battery), while output has 4x8gauge for the output(to the amps).

do i NEED a 4gauge cable to power both amps? or is the 8 gauge cable i already have installed good enough to power both amps??

cos if i need to get the 4 gauge cable, that means ill need to buy a larger inline fuse thingy and thus gotta do more rewiring work than i initially expected to do for this project.

my intuition is telling me to get the thicker cable, but if its not needed, itll save me time going back to the shops (and $$ out of my pocket).

thanks 4 your help in advance

i was talking to the guy behind the counter at ignition x a few months back when i went past there... he said he knew of a couple ppl in the forum who either bought or made covers for the stock lights that add the indicator light to it??

anyone know what im talking bout here? or was that guy getting his info mixed up with something else?

Also came across this front strut bar. no brand name to it, you think its trustworthy?

are those mirrors smaller than stock?

im interested in getting mirrors with side indicator lights but i dont em if the mirrors are gonna be tiny az.

if you have any info on this then please PM me.

FINALLY recieved mine this morning at the post office!

looks good!

installed it!

done!

thankyou sb!

youd have to replace the whole box to put that in?!?

cant you just get the faceplate without all that extra weight of of the "cluster"?

just googled it...it kinda looks like the toyota tarago and the tamaraw/revo's i seen in philippinez (posted pics of these in a previous post - the tamaraw.. not the ipsum).

gday guys,

well yesterday i had the time to get started on making the fibreglass pods for the front doorz.

so far so good, but photobucket was fcuking up on me yesterday so unfortunately i cant show you the pics of them being done yet! will try 2 post them up once i get home.

jase

yea! for sure like.. yea...

exactly what i was thinking!

totally concur with your sentimoniez!

line em up!

DIY DIY DIY DIY DIY... its easy its fun its cheap... but i'm pretty sure u'r gonna end up redoing them after your first time... i screwed up my door pods abbit coz it was my first time... as i'm upgrading and getting another set in the doors i'll just make new pods to house both of them

it is all trial and error... but since ive done fibreglassing b4 and ive read up quite a bit about how to go about making these thingz,i got more of an idea bout how i want to attack this project... so im not planning on redoing thingz!

measure twice, cut once!

thanks tayles,

yea all i need to go by is pretty much these three thingz..

how was it made?

was there any cutting involved?

how was it attached to the panel?

youve answered the first two :P

that last question should have me already gathering all my materialz together -

already bought resin + catylist for my fibreglass.. had some left over lying round as well as some extra mdf from my kicker sub install...

i am considering painting them the same silver 199 colour my rolla is painted in (i got the extra paint sitting round for my spoiler and other parts i may still wanna spray) the same way that pic i posted with the orangy paint... but if that doesnt work out i may consider vinyling the bugger, but that scares me since i havent worked with vinyl b4... i like the look of vinyl, makes it look like it was always stock, but if i cant match the colour properly then i may as well sand it down til its smooth enough for a good painted finish.

wasnt 100% happy with my kicker install since i couldnt find the right carpet material that could match the carpet in the boot... but yea, with the punch'z i got i wanna do it right the first time.

thankx again taylez

jase

hey tayles, how did you attach the pods? just screwed them in somehow or some other fastening method? whats the secret?

what bout conquests ay sb?!

hahaha... owwww

If I get a chance to do that I will, but all you need to know is that they've pretty much cut 6" holes into the OEM speaker grilles and then attached these pods... That's about it

EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED 2 FIND OUT!

my punches are pretty thick and im guessing they wouldnt fit in the stock mounts coz of that.

but would still like 2 see pics so i can see houw you attached the pods! :P

thanks hehe

haha ok where were you planning on placing these?

nice one taylez!

could you possibly take off the door panel and take a pic of the insides of it for me? hahaha!

it would really help me know what to do instead of just winging it!

do like i did with the blutack... just stick the tweeter on there to see what looks good and even hook up the tweeter to position it to where you get the best sound...

once you figured how to wire it and all that, then screw it in place...

i wouldnt have picked that shade of blue.. but regardless of what others say bout the colour, if youre dead set on the mesh, then why not paint the plastic parts of the foglights?

bare plastic isnt a good look..

painting it black on a black car looks good.

any other colour car, it looks tacky as.

yea makes sense to colour match the foglights to be the same colour as the car itself

general rule when doing DIY...

measure twice, cut/screw once.

just check and double check that youre doing the right thing, or even better- have someone there with you when you are doing it. 4 eyes are better than 2!

you can screw the tweeters onto the triangular panel without a problem.

a few screws would be cheaper than trying to find those panels with the mounts already in them.
