FINALLY it has a pulse! It fires up nice and the Mechman 400a Alternators turn great. NO slippage yet! I have a few more loose ends to do before i can really let this rip. As it stands, everything in the office just falls off the walls. I need to take it outside. But i have stuff to finish before i get to that. More than anything i am just happy to be able to start this thing every day and NOT have to keep it on a charger 24/7 anymore.
If you are wondering how i got these amplifiers to run on 17v when they usually shut down at 16, i actually stepped down the voltage JUST for the remote wires (the turn on's). The red step down modules (see previous video's) feed the small fuse block and that block runs small 12v items, some 17v items and also the remotes. Yes, that is correct. The amps THINK they are seeing 14.3 (when running) but they are actually getting the full 17. Everything works great so far.

If you follow my instagram channel you know this video is a couple of days behind. It takes time to get the work done and even more time to film and edit. Especially when i am mostly by myself. I don't like interrupting my employee's to hold the camera. They are busy! If you are interested in daily updates as well as lots of live streams from the shop, give me a follow! instagram.com/meade916 thanks for watching if you did!

This is so awesome to see! I remember the silver paint, pre air ride, small fender Bender days!

Awesome creator!

I'm a Rockford Fosgate fan so I really liked this one. I got a T1 15 3 amps for subs mids and highs. I felt like I was doing something until I got embarrassed by this video. Just badass. I need a power wire like those. I have a Chevy Colorado V8, 450hp. Ima have to step my game up. Just gutted the whole interior to dynomat and wire everything correctly. Can't wait to hear it thump again. Great work man.

Bro I used your fuse holder in my car for 2 12 kicker comp r running a 3300 watt 1ohm mono block d hifonics amp I loved it and never had any issues with the fuse at all. Unfortunately Sacramento drivers aren’t the safest and my car was recently totaled luckily he didn’t destroy my subs or all hell would’ve broke loose but glad to see someone enjoy there setup

@JBLaccord he's gonna have to take it to a gas station first before he goes anywhere. As low as his fuel gauge was he might even have to get out his jug & pour a gallon or two in it before even leaving the shop. (Vid was recorded several days ago so I know Meade's already took care of it)
