With 850+rwhp / 820+rwtq, I don't really care much about dead weight...

Nice work!

However i'm a little confused by your pics on the kick fab. Did you use the oem kicks as the base and build up or did you start from a fiberglass mold of them you took?

Hey Bing,

I noticed by the way you have your fans set up (assuming you wired the fans up normally and not reversed), you have 2 fans in push and 4 fans in pull. Wouldn't it be more efficient to do 3 push and 3 pull (not that you think heat would be a big issue anyways since u have never had overheating problems with DLS amps?

you pretty much hit it on the head, the fans arent really for the amp lol...they are for the vinyl decal ont he bottom of the plexi, and four fans blowing in covers the widths of the vinyl...

but again, there is no exact science inthis...we arent f1 engineers afterall testing aero in a windtunnel hehe

as lojng as the amp and the sticker doenst overheat, its all good

Hey B,

where do you get your fans anyways, I need a few. Is it local? What do you do, just tap them into an amp's 12V+?

I had 2 fans in my old box that i had hooked up in a push pull setup. They were hooked up to a relay switch that was connected to the remote wire coming from the head unit i think. I still have the 2 fans and relay if you want them.

i get them through my supplier to most of my car audio stuff...mine happens not to be local, but you can definetlt get it locally as well...

yup, pretty much what erdog says, remote wire as a trigger for a relay which turns on all the fans

Thanks for the offer. Maybe we can work something out, if not no worries. I can get a few at a time on ebay also. So they all have a Black/ground wire, a 12v+/wire, and a third wire/relay that is hooked up to the amp's remote? Sounds easy enough. If I get 12V fans with wire harnesses on them, I can simply snip the harness off and use the 3 wires correct? Thanks for the help guys.

Keep giving us install pics, we love your work.
