Shok Industries SQ Ground Pounder, My personal Daily Ride

[headshok]

Hi guys,

Its finally time to get my personal truck done up as a demo truck

Down here in Singapore, cars cost a bomb ( literally) and well, my daily ride has to also be my work ride and my demo ride

I drive a Mitsubishi L200 Triton. Its not sold over in the US, but its available over in Europe, South America and Australia

As much i would love to own a Tundra crewmax V8, our laws on vehicles suxs balls down here

The engine is 2.5L Turbo Diesel.

Trucks a Dual Cab.

Here's some pics of the truck bone stock.

The dam dealers here basically rip you off and sell you the most basic version of the truck ( trucks arnt so popular down here)





Truck looked horrible when i first got it. But thanks to eBay, i brought in a bunch of goodies for the truck

My plan for this truck is simple. It will be a SQ Ground Pounder.

Why SQ? Down here, competition SQ is big. But i'm a bass head.

There have always been people saying " you cant have a SQ car that gets loud", So basically i'm here to prove them wrong.

This is what's going into the truck

Deck: Alpine #F1 DVI 9990 + H9990 Processor

Speakers: Ground Zero GZPC 165 kit + GZPM 100 mid range ( 3 way active)

Front stage amps: Ground Zero Reference 4xs ( tweets + mid range) + Ground Zero 2xs ( mid bass)

Woofers: SHok 2.5k 18" x 2

Woofer amps : Shok Big Daddy ( Aka 8.5k)

Batteries: ABX AGM batteries, 75 aH, x 10 pieces

Power Cable: Shok Reference Pro 5285 CCA cable through out

RCA and Signal cable : SHok FLO series

Alternator : Mechman 270A charging at 15.2v daily

For SQ comps there will be a smaller 10" woofer fabricated somewhere up front just for the competition ( 18" will be off).

keep a look out for more info!

Well, first thing that had to go were the shitty ass tyres and rims.

The main thing was, i got a set of rims for like $300 !

So it was off to get some new rubber.

I opted for the Yokohama Geolander, 265/70/16 ( rims were 16")





After i installed the tyres, i figured out why the owner sold them to me for cheap




rims had a -50 offset, making them SUPER ILLEGAL on the local roads!

looked nice though




after driving around with them for a day, i got super paranoid ( got many thumbs up from fellow SUV drivers on the road), they had to go until i found out how to get them covered up!

[headshok]

hi guys,

sorry for going missing for awhile, been busy with work

Anyway, here's some more pics of the install.

I had a new set of fenders shipped in together with some bush rangers rubber fenders to cover up the wheels so that the truck will be more " road legal".

So here's some pics of the truck's exterior done up





I came across this stock evo 9 intercooler on one of the local forums for like $80, so went ahead and had it installed:)

Truck's chipped up to around 200hp and 500nm torque. gonna need to power to haul around daily what i have planned inside

stock intercooler















next up was my alternator upgrade.

I had mechman make me a 270A alternator. Since my truck is not available in the US, i had to send him an alternator for matt to customs build the whole alternator for me.

Bad thing about this truck is that its a beyotch to remove the alternator










this is what the alternator's gonna charge





here's a video of the alternator in action!

15v charging ftw!


I worked with a local distributor on these batteries. they are ABX AGM batteries, 75aH a piece so 10 pieces in the back, 1 95AH one up front

Done with all the boring stuff, next up, all the audio goodies!

stay tuned!

[kurpal_v2]

You still got this on there?

[nervewrecker]

I once dreamt this van *subscribed*

[-Roach-]

Can't wait for the rest of pics!!...

[headshok]

You still got this on there?

you have no idea how good that sticker is with the chicks! hahaha

plus since i'm running around 500 nm torque, u should see the faces when i overtake people easily and they see the cute bunny staring at them! hahaa

but i got the rest of the pics resized down, will be uploading them in abit! so hang on!

[headshok]

hi all,

finally got some time to arrange out the wiring pictures for my truck.

Anyway, here it goes.

I'm using a total of 8 runs of Shok Reference Pro CCA in my ride. well, i extremely confident in the capabilities of my CCA cable and i'll run it in my own truck

This will be my competition/ daily/ demo truck Cars down here cost literally more than an arm and a leg, so cant afford to have a few demo cars around

anyway, here's the pics

pulling the first run..











dam forgot that i had sleeves lying around











8 runs of 1/0 awg running under the truck







Adding more tubing for additional protection under the truck. we're a tropical country and weather here can get pretty crazy.. hahaha..



getting it all zipped tied up











and now to get all that wire out onto the truck bed





and we are done



amp rack coming up soon! stay tuned!

[headshok]

So now, after having got the wire pulled, we move onto the battery and amp rack.

I'll be running 10 pieces of ABX AGM batteries. the local distributor is a friend of mine, so he hooked me up

so here it is..

a test fit first.

the Shok Big Daddy, aka 8.5k



getting the rack cover done .















got it sprayed black first










batteries going into their new home.. heheh





The lid i got for my truck was a 2nd hand lid ( flew it in from Australia), had to replace some rubber parts so as to keep the bed water proof.








hmmm.. got wire??



stay tuned for more... pics coming up soon!!!!

[jblCROWN]

nice build

[sMASH]

look at batteryy!!!!!!!!

[Prototype-Tuner]

waiting for the rest

[headshok]

hey all!

now for some sound dampening!!

I'm using STP as sound dampening for my whole truck I got the Bomb in my doors and now for gold for the rest of my truck.

bad thing abt the mit triton are that they are really noisy inside. a layer of STP gold does wonders!

anyway, here are the pics!

the lovely truck




got it hooked up to the charger

let the dampening begin!









now for the roof









hmmm.. even looks quieter now







carpets goes in



and we are done

next up.. more amps heheh

[nervewrecker]

*takes notes*

[ruffneck_12]

wtf, epic build

[sMASH]

*takes notes*

...of dis particular three way front stage

[headshok]

hi guys

So if you guys refer to the previous few post, i had a battery rack made out of MDF

that dam thing decided to break on me, thank goodness i didnt have any amps inside when it broke!

so I had a steel metal rack made to hold the batteries this time. the frame is bolted to the bed..

so here comes the pics

The metal frame



the 10 ABX AGM batteries







had to trim off some of the frame to fit the battery terminals



now to add the buss bars! saved a lot of time using them!















and its time to finally charge up these babies!!




stay tuned for more!!

[Prototype-Tuner]

nice again

[headshok]

Hi guys!

Now that the battery rack is done, its time for the highs and mids amplifiers.

so anyway, here is what is going in. Its a simple 3 way active front setup..

tweets and mids powered by the GZ Reference 4 XS , Mid bass powered by the GZ Reference 2 XS.

Headunit and Processor is the Alpine DVI 9990 + H9990 ( #F1 status)

so here goes

Front shot of the truck



getting the HU wired up







laying out the 9990 processor



an idea on the layout



using the FW 324 PD as a ground and FW 124DB as a power distro

Interconnects and speaker wires are prototype stranded wires. these will be the new FLO V2. i got a very special mix of copper inside these cable..



now doing the base board for the amp























the lovely FLO plugs.






now to run the power to these amps. My front battery is already too cramped up, so we're pulling power from the rear battery bank. these amps are gonna be happy with POWA!

Using Shok Reference Pro 1/0 awg cable. Sad thing is, i sold most of my red 1/0 awg cable, so i had to make do with the grey that i had left



pulling fromt he bed thru the fender









directly into the fuse distros and ground block



Lastly, pulling the woofer cable. Using Shok 8 awg power cable







Stayed tuned to part 2 soon!

cheers!

[gundelero]

man, i'm loving this work. the truck itself looks so aggressive with those rims and tyres.
i'm tuned in.

[headshok]

hi guys!

[headshok]

[headshok]

Hi guys!

So now that the front stage is done, its time to wire up the rear.

running the woofer wire









next up, the fun parts. keep a look out!

cheers all!

[jblCROWN]

[headshok]

the amp base









some holes for some kind of ventilation





time to soder up the wires

RCA may look whimpy, but looks can be deceiving
