Jeff’s Stereo build

Thought I would share my stereo build for others to see. I always like to help others with ideas just as others helped me gather ideas for my build. (This is a bit wordy-sorry)

My initial idea was to go with a wetsounds sound bar and then the sub between the seats. After researching a lot and looking at a lot of different set-ups I decided I could build my own and have a better set-up for cheaper. I have a $1000 budget so to do the Rev10 and a sub with amp I would be over. I looked at a top Sidexsideaudio made that i really liked. It was a 6-speaker over head unit that would allow room for me to chop my cage and still have head room. I would have bought theirs but apparently they are too busy to take my money so that inspired me to build my own. I mapped out an idea, drew it in autocad, cut it out, fitted it, and then traced it to the plywood after some minor tweaks.

I decided to build a 6 speaker overhead unit with a small marine radio that is bluetooth capable. It also has an aux. USB input so i can use a memory stick too if needed although i plan on primarily using my phone with bluetooth. For equipment I’m using Powerbass 6.5" coaxials, a Powerbass 5-channel amp, and the SSV glovebox sub box with a punch P1 sub. It might be a bit of a long build with a lot of changes as i go. Here are a few pictures of the start of my project.

Layout begins!

Still trying to settle on my layout

oneway

I put a new one way clutch bearing in my grizzly 660 I was told it would only turn one way, it’s not real easy but I can turn mine backwards with primary clutch on by hand I haven’t put the belt on yet. it’s a after market bearing so I probably wasted my money

Play in rear wheel – 2007 Sportsman 500

I still have a little play in both rear wheels after replacing a lot of components in the rear wheel. Below is the list.

1. Replaced all bushing in the rear with jccapri bushing kit (upper and lower a-arm, shocks, upper bushing for wheel bearing carrier) for the Sportsman 500.
2. Purchased brand new wheel bearing carrier with new bearings, upper bushings, and sleeves.
3. Purchased brand new lower bushings and new sleeves for the wheel bearing carrier.

After replacing all these parts, most of the play in the rear wheel is gone; however, there is still some play. The only thing left to replace is the rear axle, wheel hub, and wheel studs. Just wondering if folks have had issues with the wheel hub or stubs. Please advise as soon as possible as I would like to fix this problem over the weekend.
