XS Power + Huge Buss Bars

[sundownz]

* I have just a little bit of aluminum here.


* Front brackets to hold them in place will be aluminum angle just like the bars.


* Allen bolts + lock washer + brass washer (have one on both sides)


* This is where the wires will connect for the amps, grounds, flux caps, etc

I think I'll be able to get a couple of amps of current from this bank

very nice

just gotta be carful to not drop like a spanner across it or else ...... .....

[sundownz]

Indeed My amp rack will cover the + side completely so I will be safe when that is installed.

very cool & creative

[sundownz]

* Wires installed onto bars






* Taped over the ends of the + bar near the chassis


* Flux Caps and SAX-50.4 on bottom amp rack


* Only the "-" bar is exposed

lol. i too afraid to do that yes. lookin good there sundownz

be careful

this install is strictly for spl?

if so, from what i understand copper is a better conductor of electricity than aluminum (lower resistance), wouldnt it be better to use some copper strips instead of those aluminum angle for better electrical flow? I know it might only be a fraction of a db but in a competition man does lose by 0.1db & thing.

a fella just asking here eh, doh bash meh.

[Pirate]

the copper would be better, but more expensive... (also copper screws and washers are available)

[Mr MTX]

nice idea.....but i honestly fraid to do dat yes...

[Leffy]

WOW..................... Very unique

i rel likin dem amps

Yes, copper would have been better - but I was able to get more than two times the aluminum for less money so I simply over-sized the aluminum to achieve the same result with less money.

Thanks all - I will post SPL results soon when the woofers go back in!

[0awg]

Thanks all - I will post SPL results soon after I murder the meter!

fixed.

thaz very sweet, honestly i never saw that done before

Pios, you ok??

Pios, you ok??

lol.....ah man in love with d install daz all

[infinite_RPM]

Yea its a nice piece of work, jus gotta be careful

[audioholic big D]

Lookin real nice bro ...i wanna try dat!!!

[Sully]

Did you put any though into copper plating the aluminium bars? If you think about the skin effect of the way electricity flows, then it should be a lot better than just using aluminium.

Copper plating should be relatively easy as copper sulphate is cheap, and you already have some batteries (you can also use a battery charger) for the electrolysis process.

Another option is to use brass. The copper content in brass is a lot better than just using aluminium, and should be a lot better than just plain aliminium. The downside is that making that thing ouf of brass may set you back a good bit as well.

[a little louder]

this was done in a few cars here already
but you would not know cause its covered (unless you were part of the team doing the installs)
