I am sitting here, amazed at how similar your cart is to mine! I used the same rocker switches but a smaller bank of 4. I also put the blue led lights in my cup holders on one switch, led lights in the storage on another switch, led lights below the cup holders that shine on your feet and also my front speaker’s grill lights on anothger switch, but then I put bright led lights on the dome, on the other switch. It just shocked me to see your cart! I like how you mounted the switches to the diamond plate though, and it made me think that I’ll do that as well. I wish I could send you a picture of how similar mine is. It’s shocking. Good job! (Go Jayhawks!)
Thank you! I love the way it turned out and it's given us a couple of years of trouble free fun! Thank you so much for the very nice comment! Would love to see a picture of your golf cart! Could you please send it to my email? 1afmxswarrior@gmail.com
Brenden Shaw thank you for your address. I’ll send pictures that I already have on my phone shortly, but more tomorrow when I can show you the similarities between the two.
Well after a lot of thought and planning I decided to keep the txt dash the way it is. I’m going with a bazooka party bar and the storage areas will hold a gps speedo unit (it’s big, 85mm hole) I’m adding 2 spot led lights on the sides of the cart for copper head killing. May I ask did you use one reducer to reduce the entire battery pack to 12v ? My friend who’s gonna help me wire it is worried the wattages drawn will be too much for one reducer.
I can't speak for this gentleman's nice cart, I have a 48 volt system with a voltage reducer, it has a 30 amp fuse which then runs to a distribution block for six circuits which power many many led strips and controllers, light bar tail lights headlights bluetooth speakers blah blah blah, I have never had any issues. 100% of the things that you see on the golf cart in this video, everything is powered, or LED which is very small current draw, on a 48 Volt to 12 Volt reducer you must have 48 volts on the input side for it to work correctly or at all, I would not be worried about it. You could take a multimeter to it and test the load and if you feel like the load is drawing too much, I would just run with a separate 12 Volt battery and charge it separately every night along with your regular battery pack.
Besides this being an awesome installation, do you ever have problems with your stereo turning off? I have the same installation and my stereo turns off when I press on the gas, once I come to a full stop it turns back on
Thank you! No issues with the stereo system shutting off while driving but I have heard of people putting in a secondary voltage regulator dedicated purely to the stereo system because of the amp draw
@@1afmxswarrior thanks! Long story short my starter generator was bad, replaced it and all good. One more question, I have a new golf cart yamaha G22, did you custom built speaker walls or did you buy it ready to go?
I have to ask how did you get the diamond plate so flush with the ergo dash? I know it has ha little slope or angle of you will . Please! How? Or is it just an illusion?
darren binkley I cut them out of some very thin plywood (1/8th in thick) that I bought at Lowe's. And then I put two small hinges on the bottom of each panel and screwed them into the dash.
Sorry for the late response! I took a Sawzall and cut out sections of the dash and use the diamond plate to mount the instrument panel. For the doors, I simply took a thin piece of plywood and cut the holes for the speaker and hinged the bottom
Brenden Shaw Thanks. Found a piece at Home Depot and doing likewise. If I can get my kids to give up the cart for a couple days I will get all this work done! Great video. Thanks for posting.

Holy crap sir, I absolutely LOVE what you did!! I’m sorry but I’m gonna have to steal your idea on the switch panel-well basically everything electronic. Lol. I love gun metal but I’ll put mine in carbon fiber. One question though, I see the 12v gauge, so are the add ons on a separate battery? And if so, how do you charge it? Thanks!!
Barton Boma. I bought the panel off Amazon. There are a variety of choices with different numbers of panel switches that you can choose how many circuits you want to run. Each switch has an inline fuse.
Barton Boma no I installed the voltage regulator in the battery box area andtapped off of that to run 12 volts up to the dash. I routed it by going underneath the cart and trying to keep everything nice and clean I just zip-tied it and used that corrugated plastic that split down the middle which makes for professional-looking wire bundles.
i have a gas powered cart. can i use a car audio battery by itself and just charge it at the end of the day? and if i do that how long do you think it'll last with a 300 watt amp?
That is a very dynamic question, meaning the efficiency of the amp, the actual draw of the music you listen to, the ohms of the speakers... Best thing you can do is test it out with a multi meter down to 11.8 volts and stop.
Believe it or not, I hook them up to a zombie light the shine super bright out the back and I rigged the golf cart with police lights on the front and back of the car. These police lights are awesome when we have speeders in the neighborhood!
I did some thing very similar 8 years ago, still working, I'm proud of you to there guy!😊
It’s fire 🔥 I love the creativity
Bro!!!!!! That is my dream cart!!! Excellent job!

Please make a how to video on the install of all lighting, radio, wiring
Where you get your underglow?
What did you use for the back up Camera Light?
I know its old but what speakers did you use?
That’s awesome 👏🏼
You and I have the same problem ... but it sure is fun. Great job on what you've done so far. I am going steal some of your ideas.
Awesome customization job. Lovin’ it.
Your custom golf cart looks amazing! I have a question can you explain how you installed powered the blue Led's in the cupholders ?
Shawn what speakers are those? Are they completely Bluetooth or do you need head unit?
Well done

Would love to get some advice and tips on this install. Soon to be revamping my cart in the next couple months.
👍 nice job
I have to ask how did you get the diamond plate so flush with the ergo dash? I know it has ha little slope or angle of you will . Please! How? Or is it just an illusion?
I would really like to know
Great job, what speakers are those?
I know this is old but could you explain your wiring of the switch panel ?
I LOVE IT !! I WANT ONE in mine !!
Where did you get your speakers from?
What type of golf cart is that ?
Very nice job!
Great job love the OSU shirt and hat
I need a switch panel like that Did u buy it or did you custom fab the whole thing
How did you do your hinged speaker doors and what stops them from flopping down
darren binkley I cut them out of some very thin plywood (1/8th in thick) that I bought at Lowe's. And then I put two small hinges on the bottom of each panel and screwed them into the dash.
Sorry for the late response! I took a Sawzall and cut out sections of the dash and use the diamond plate to mount the instrument panel. For the doors, I simply took a thin piece of plywood and cut the holes for the speaker and hinged the bottom
Amazing job!!
Did you purchase the diamond plate as a stock item or was it fabricated.
Purchased it at Lowes
And cut it to shape
Brenden Shaw Thanks. Found a piece at Home Depot and doing likewise. If I can get my kids to give up the cart for a couple days I will get all this work done! Great video. Thanks for posting.

Thanks!!
Where did you get the radio from? that is pretty cool and good job on your cart
Thanks Shawn! Got it on Amazon. It's called the Boss MGR350B 3" Marine.
Thanks Sean! Let me see if I can figure out how to put the link to it from Amazon on here for you.
Grt vid? You have done a grt job.
It looks good
you just running a voltage reducer or more than that?
Yes there is a voltage regulator that Taps off the main batteries. That's what I use to run 12 volts to the rest of the cart. It's a 36 volt system
Brenden Shaw so how is it switched? Are all those things off one panel and are you running an inline fuse?
Barton Boma. I bought the panel off Amazon. There are a variety of choices with different numbers of panel switches that you can choose how many circuits you want to run. Each switch has an inline fuse.
Brenden Shaw you wire it through the ignition?
Barton Boma no I installed the voltage regulator in the battery box area andtapped off of that to run 12 volts up to the dash. I routed it by going underneath the cart and trying to keep everything nice and clean I just zip-tied it and used that corrugated plastic that split down the middle which makes for professional-looking wire bundles.

How did you hold the Boss in place in the cupholder
how did you keep the cubby hole doors latched?
i have a gas powered cart. can i use a car audio battery by itself and just charge it at the end of the day? and if i do that how long do you think it'll last with a 300 watt amp?

cool
Awesome! I love it
Can you send out a Instruction Paper for anyone that will PAY YOU FOR A COPY! It is Awesome
Dude you got way too much time on your hands lol Good Job though
Is anybody else wondering what the last two switches do? 🤔
Believe it or not, I hook them up to a zombie light the shine super bright out the back and I rigged the golf cart with police lights on the front and back of the car. These police lights are awesome when we have speeders in the neighborhood!
Hey Brenden ! Very impressive. Nice work. If you see this check your email. I had a couple questions.
somebody has too much spare time on their hands
