Just curious why you have 2 six head strobe power supplies and are only using 6 out of the total 12 outlets...

Looks nice though.
In God we trust. Everyone else, we run through NCIC, Thinkstream, and III.

I also would like to know what kind of trunk tray that is.

Looks like one is 60 watts the one using 4 is 90 watts, maybe he doesn't want as much power for 2 lights?

Or perhaps it so he can run a different pattern or so he can run 2x2x2 instead of 4x2.

Punctuation and capitalization are your friends!!

Sorry bout the long delay. The board is a black plastic 3/4 inch thick then custom to fit the trunk. Plywood would hold in moisture so did not use it. The optocom is hooked up in to my lower fog, left side light it, works from a good 5 city blocks away. The power supply issue, the more heads you have on the power supply, the less power it produces. I wanted the lighting to be bright and I have a 90w to replace the 60w but never got the chance. I have a 1/4 in thick aluminum piece of flat stock to hold up controls. Yes I do have the thick plastic velcro there but it was wwhen I had it in my pickup, never took it off . I say I am lazy on that one, but hey. I will take some outside video , night and day.[/b]
