P1000 The Beast

Well, I finally got around to replacing the 12" MTX Subs with the Kicker 10"

The reason I waited so long was that I modified the 12" box by installing my Kicker 6x9's and didn't want to come up with something different! But the curiousity became to much for me to handle!

This is what I came up with...

Also needed to add a little support for the amps! Had this lying around, probably 10 years old, but made the difference! Will probably need to replace it but it will be good enough for the weekend ride!


Moved the PXA500.1 amp to the front with the others!

Almost forgot to mention...my design needed to allow rear passengers as well! So came up with this idea...

When riding with the speakers in this position I will add a ratchet strap to better secure and prevent excessive movement.

Seats....check!

Access storage...check! Also notice screws used to secure speakers! Will replace with bolts and washers with locknuts in the future!

It is ridiculous!!! But, I don't have a CD Player so we will need to bring one and jack in, or download the songs and Bluetooth in! What is your favorite disco song?

Is that a lightning cap?

Is that a lightning cap?

Yes, an old cap, but yes it is! Too much pulling from the fuse box so ran this between 2 amps. I believe it is 1 farad! But it was missing all stickers so really not sure! Had to turn all amps down, but it sounds nice! Better bass than the 12's! I think I'm done for now

BA! I'm not pushing enough power in the Pioneer to warrant one but have one in my truck, it helps. I was dimming my headlights and dash lights before on hard bass notes. I've always preferred the hit of tens in car audio. I bet it cranks? Should be clear too with the 6 x 9's handling the mid bass?

It was pulling so much power before the cap the stereo was shutting off due to insufficient power! But she thumps now while holding 13 volts

That's a good deal! I had same problem and got sick of seeing the lights flicker. Good to have in any stereo.

Going to put it through a real test this weekend if it doesn't hold up I saw some at Walmart for $30. The lights on the cap were turning off including volt display. Not sure if it was normal because I honestly can't remember last time it was hooked up.

Decided to inspect my switch due to power issues and discovered this...

The plastic where screws attach was busted causing a poor connection! Not sure how it happened, but called Blue Sea Systems and they took my information and it shipped today!

Although it wasn't required I sent these pictures to support my claim! Great customer service! The gentlman I spoke with went out of his way to nice! With service and product support like this it easy to recommend their products!

Noticed additional plastic posts could use to get it back together for now

That's awesome they did that. Anytime a company will back their stuff regardless is well worth taking a note for others, it means they want your business and a positive experience to the consumer.

Quality customer service is worth a lot.
