2004 Monte Carlo

Awesome build Bubba. I've seen many others using a DD5 or DD10, but I never understood what they are used for. Can you give some details on it?

They are used as a remote turn on and off for amplifiers, to eliminate turn off and on pop. It is also used to power accessories like xovers, eq's, lights, fans, ect. all in one fused location. There are led's with each fused circuit to tell whether a fuse is blown or not. They are very handy and, unfortunately, hard to find.

Love those pods...!!
Looking forward to hearing your car again...

Haven't updated this in a while. There are some changes for this next season. First, making new dash pods to move the speakers out as far as I can and changing the angle to help with imaging. My stage was typically noted as narrow so hopefully this helps.



Also trying out some new amps.


Sub amp rack







Other 2 amps are going under the rear deck

Using some cardboard to make some trim panels in the trunk. I will coat them with resin and a layer of fiberglass mat to keep the shape. They will be covered in carpet and maybe some vinyl trim. I relocated the PG DD-5 and the fuse/ground block to the passenger side of trunk. The driver side will be a little storage cubby hole. Will be adding some fans to the lower amp rack and might make another trim panel in front of the rear deck amps to hold more fans for those amps.
