Some of you that visit other sites might've seen this install, but here's what he has in it and what was done on it today.

Alpine HU, model # ??
Front amps, 3 MB Quart Discus 4 ch amps, model # ??
Sub amps, 12, count them, 12! Sundown SA1500's
Speakers
Front, 2 of each> Selenium 6 1/2", 8", and super tweeters
Subs, 48, <THAT IS NOT A TYPO, 48 10" Sundowns, what line ??

He has broken his roof supports and literally tore spots in the roof of the cab. We built a roof support out of 2"x 1/2"x48" steel pipe welded together by yours truly, ME. He also was figiting around in the cab and asked if I'd install an amp he had to have sent off that he just got back, so I put in the one on the bottom row 3rd in from the drivers side.

This truck weighs in at 6 tons, kid you not- he weighed it at a truck stop scale and on the TL did a 156.7 at 30 Hz. Beat that one Benz :wink:
He also had 4 subs not working right (due to amp) when he did that and his roof flex is hurting that number. We still have a bit of work to do on it. Need to finish the frame of what we just put in and there's another sheet of steel we're going to weld to what we just welded in and then the roof liner will go back in.

W/o further ado, here are the pics.

Whats the electrical setup in it? Alternator size and how many, what batts. and how many/ runs of cable to the amps, etc. etc. that must take a power plant to run and suck a shat load of gas. is it musical? that takes a freakish amount of dedication to have somethin like that for sure. nice.

:lol: You might aswell fill the doors with cement and weld them shut....... :shock: HOLY SHIT!!!!!!

At this point, he might start looking into a piece of 1 inch lexan to make a windshield and 4 side windows...... Have to metered it yet.....?

what is the flat-stock on the roof for? It doesn't appear to be welded to the vehicle except on the edges?

Dang. Good thing he isn't into SPL. I would hate to see what that system would look like!

wow.......wonder how long till that truck rattles apart....

I don't know all of the details as to what all he has exactly. 3 batteries at least, 1 under the hood and 2 you see on the floor in the pics. Multiple runs of 0 gauge wire. The roof support is now welded in place. It wasn't all done just them, but 90% of it ids now. There's no way it's coming down or going to flex.

Here's some more of what we got done today, and a new video... You'll like! I promise.

yeah....if it has a powerstroke it already has 2 under the hood......might have the ambulance package also..(2 alts stock from the factory)

F-350/450/550 dual alternators (total of 260 amps - 63T) (F-650 PL has opt.270 amps)

I'm sorta wondering the goal of the vehicle? If it's for the WOW factor it certainly has that but as far as SPL numbers 156 is really not that loud in context to what is in the vehicle. loud yes, but Some guys run 2 15's and hit that easily in a comp.

Yes it's mostly for the WOW factor, but remember, that 156.7dB is at 30Hz. Now that things are braced up and w/the other four subs working (the amp I put in) and at a higher note, he'll easily hit in the 160's, but it's mostly to wow people at 30 Hz.

He has an upgraded alt, I just don't know by how much and/or how many.
