on board power house

damn i looked.. its a no go with my 3rd row... the seat mounts are in the way, it was gonna be deep enough just for an amp to hide the amp and cap, was gonna hide the sub in the passenger side rear well... but its a no go.. that sucks!

You see i cant bring my self to spend that much or do i see myself needing it.it takes so long for two deep cycle batteries to run totally dead and even when they do it seems that with two deep cyles i can let them sit for awile and it will gain enough juice to start the truck.
 






True, I'm planning on having just one optima yellow top/equivalent... and I don't trust my personal electrical skills.
 






Looks like an efficient design. Just wondering how hot do those batteries get?

Batteries dont get hot at all or do the cables.the air lines get very hot though and blew the first set i had on there(fuel lines,i know) i have high temp air lines now and also found out that the compressor has a thermal switch so now i will be just leaving the lid closed on the box.you would be very surprised how offten i use this setup
