Vito Camper project

[makeitfit]

Did a bit more carpeting in the sunshine Not the best plan as the glue dries way too quick


Here you can just see the quick release things I got so the pod can be taken in and out without tools :thumb2 They're little chrome clip things meant for fitting spoilers and the like to track cars


Close up. Sorry about the extra holes but I made a mistake :doh Nevermind a hinge will cover up :augie

BOOM sub update

Look what came in the post from uncle eBay

Vibe 8" active sub in a box thing , £ 50 ker ching :thumbs I shall diss-assemble this and makeitfit my center console
Innards exposed and cut free.

A quick spin round with Mr Router and one hole for the speaker .

Innards transposed to the center console .

Loads of room Just need to avoid spillages now :augie

If it becomes an issue being exposed like that I'll probably fit a speaker grill from Maplins or something
Battery no2 on the way next :whip:

Maybe the newer ones are better at not rusting. My era (51 plate) are aweful. I can hear it fizzing when I drive past the beach :lol

Ha Ha.... I can hear the seagull's pecking at your decaying chassis right now

I got the 2nd battery in today and just used a tie down strap to secure it

Smart split charger thingy

I'm using an Anderson plug to take power to the pod and also allows other accessories like tyre pump to be plugged in.

Got a nice fuse holder with LED indicators for each working fuse . Wired it up to the Anderson plug via a mini loom . Also fitted my old inverter for those mains needs :nenau

The sub in place and the axillary 12v outlet powered up with a little blue LED

Modified the dash to take the sub remote and also fitted a little push button to isolated the sub amp from firing up when not needed.

Should be ready for winter camping :lol

The wiring to the sub amp looks rather thin TBH you should really be using 8 AWG min I would keep an eye on how hot the amp gets as there isn't really any cooling for the heatsink

Yeh I wondered about the cooling. As yet I've not bolted down the lid as I stick my hand in every now and then for a quick feel :lol So far it can best be described as warm. :nenau
I knew you'd mention cable size :augie However in my innocence I've used a bigger supply cable than the wires the other side of the connector inside the sub :thumbs
The supply cable is also all of 60 cm long . Do think that's really an issue ?
Easy to change mind but do I really need to ? It's only a 900w peak thingy or 300w RMS
I kept the amp the right way up this time though :thumbs

You've got to give the aesthetics some thought sometimes :augie

That's why mines all sexy inside now and black everywhere :naughty
