If anyone's interested on where to purchase the products used in this build, please leave us a comment below!
We put countless hours into the customization of this unit, and it has held up well for it's first six months of use this summer. If there's interest in any particular part of the build let us know, and we can create a follow-up video.
I wish I never seen this!!!! Now I want to do the same thing to mine lol
Great freaking job. Amazing!!!
If the DJ thing ever doesn't pan out, you should go into trailer customization.
I don't even know where to start. This is by far the best trailer build (not just for DJs) I have seen. You eliminated everything bad about having a trailer and even created a portable outdoor DJ booth with a light show. Brilliant.
Thanks for the positive feedback DayNNyteDJs! We tried to put a lot of thought into the planning stage, and eliminate many of the negatives of having a trailer like you said.
This is so cool and organized great job guys I can see how it’s so useful when loading and unloading at gig’s…
Take a shot every time he says "Um". 😁
J/K! Great trailer!! Great layout!
Haha, thanks for the feedback! 😀
OMG, where do I start? :-) I love the ladder attachment on the roof, The fire extinguisher, first aid kit. The alarm system and electronics are off the hook. I can only imagine that your wiring is pretty damn tight for your equipment as well. :-) Outstanding job. Thanks for putting all the work in this video. You're gonna make me up my game on my trailer now LOL!
Well thought out!!!!!
DEEYUM! THIS IS BAD ASS! HUGE INSPIRATION! THANKS FOR SHARING! SO MANY IDEAS NOW!
Thank you DJ Lunátiko!!! We’re glad we could provide you with some ideas for a project of your own... happy building!
Amazing bro! Goals for my 1st dj trailer!
Thank you, thank you! 😃
Now that's professional!!! I can tell you're a stickler for detail. Excellent job!
Thank you, BK Ray! Lots of planning and a slow but methodical installation lead to the final product that we are very happy with. Cheers!
WOW!!!! Is there anything that you didn't think of? AWESOME is an understatement!
Thank you Arijit!
Great job
Thank you, Robert
That is Awesome.. I have seen “ professional “ rigged trailers that are no wear near as good as that. I love the bottle opener by the door.
Thanks, Bill! The bottle opener certainly does come in handy :)
Genuis !
Wicked awesome. Just got a new 6x12. Looking for ideas and I think I found some!
Glad we could inspire you with some upgrades for your new trailer! If you want any further info feel free to comment or send a message 😀
Great rig! I am thinking about a mini version of that... but you gave me some great ideas... thanks!
Thank you! Hopefully your version goes great, and you can implement some similar features :)
DAAAAM!
Your trailer is the best one I’ve seen so far
Congrats n wish you guys much success 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Pedro, thanks for your comment and inspiring words! We hope all the best for you as well :)
Love this, you guys are super prepared
Thank you for the comment Michael!
Would love to see an updated video!
Simply amazing!
Thank you, John!
Nice trailer... Love it
Thanks DJ Erikg!
Sick job!!
Thank you, Adam!
I would LOVE a detailed list of equipment gents! Thanks for offering:-) cheers!
Thanks for your inspiration on this build and positive comments! Let me get a list together over the next few days and update the video description. Cheers, Matt
Finally got around to putting some links in the video description for products we used! If there's anything in particular you're interested in that we didn't provide a link for, just let us know :)
Amp'd Entertainment what about the alarm status light and additional siren? Was curious which ones you bought as they are confirmed to work with that Pyle alarm system. Also the door sensors.
Getting a new 6x12' trailer this weekend. Doing most of this to it! I have a 5x8' trailer now but going to keep it for small shows.
Enjoy your new trailer and build, Scott! If you need any info we'd be happy to help 😀
Thank you! I will do a quick video this week after i have all my E track in. Still have to figure where I want to put my main truss pieces.
Fantastic e-track advice. Thanks. Great descriptive video. Is there a time to ask a couple of questions?
Go ahead!
nice video...i want to get a 6x14 dual axle...awesome trailer
Our biggest regrets are not getting a dual axle and a wider body. If both options are within your budget, I'd strongly recommend getting both!
Nice love it. Can you give some more info. Like what type of alarm do you have installed in the trailer. Where can I get the transition for the ramp door?
Hello DjErikg, please see the description for a list of products we used in the trailer build. The transition flap is a 1/4" thick piece of diamond plate aluminum, 10" wide, and with a 30deg bend in it. We then riveted a piano hinge to one edge, and screwed the other side of the hinge to the trailer floor. Voila, simple as that!
What did u guys use for the wire on your top of us trailer to hide ur wire
Great Job can you link were all the materials you used please thanks
Links to products we used are in the description!
Hey I would like to do something like this but for anmusic system inside a car
I know the rating on the single axle is about 1500lb. How has it been working for you ? Any issues ?
Ehhhhmmmmmm. Ehhmmmmmmm. Ehhmmmm. Lol Good job on the trailer!
Thanks Mike!
dude awesome
Thanks Stephen!
Great build. Quick question what type of vehicle do you tow this with? Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! This setup was towed with a 2017 Ford F-150 Lariat, 2018 Chevy 1500 Custom, and occasionally a 2018 Dodge Journey GT
Love this setup! My e-track install is close to yours, but the led and solar puts yours on another level. Where did you get the Truss Clips? I need some of those bad!
Thanks for the comment! We got the clips from 'Princess Auto' which is the equivalent of 'Harbor Freight' in the US... Links to all products can be found in the description, but here is the clips: www.princessauto.com/en/detail/small-e-track-j-hook/A-p8606089e
I would love some information on the power system. I have thought about a solar panel and battery myself and don't know were to begin.
I'd be glad to help! It might help to look through the products we used in the description, but if you want the nitty-gritty details I can give you my email and send you wiring diagrams and more. Cheers
the more I watch this video, I have to do this for our DJ service here in Nova Scotia..I'd love the get the wiring diagrams and more!!
Thanks for your message the other day Gene, and great talking with you!
Where'd you get the black cases that look like tool boxes on wheels?
The black cases you’re referring to are available at Home Depot. They are called “mobile job site boxes” and come in a couple different sizes. The ones we purchased are Home Depot’s in-house brand “Husky”
What alarm do you use?
Hi Henry, all of the products used in our build can be found in the description. The alarm was a 'Pyle' brand car alarm that was ordered off of Amazon. Hope this helps!
Can you give me more guidance on how you wired the solar light to the 3 position switch.
Certainly! First I set the operating mode to 'Mode 3', which keeps the light off unless motion is detected and then the light remains on until 30sec after the movement stops. Then, I opened up the light and found the positive wire that goes from the PCB to the LED's. I cut this wire and extended the leads into the trailer where the switches are, and placed the switch in series. Essentially the motion sensing is always on and trying to trigger the light with movement, but if the switch in the trailer isn't closed it is unable to complete the circuit and the LED's won't turn on. Hope this helps!
Thank you
can you maybe provide me a current link that works for the alarm that you used?
also was the door sensors included or was they a separate purchase?
i am looking at buying me a trailer soon and was wanting something like yall had come up with... not to extreme just a battery on board for the alarm and some 12 volt power for lights inside
.. on ebay or amazon? i am from the united states
Unfortunately the exact model that we used is no longer available, but any cheap and basic vehicle alarm will work for your application. The magnetic door switches were a separate purchase, but they will work with any alarm system that uses NO or NC switches to trigger the alarm. Hope this helps, and good luck on your build!
I have been looking for a long time on a good trailer build out and this is it. I have a 6x12 as well and you have given me some great ideas, I am looking forward to your list of materials. Did you do an outside plug to charge as well just in case the solar doesn't work?
Thanks for the great feedback! We just updated the video description with links to products we used, so feel free to browse. We didn't bother putting in an outside plug and permanent charger in the trailer, we didn't feel it was necessary with such a large 100w panel on the roof and the fact that it can still trickle charge on the cloudiest of days. In fact, even parking under a light post in a parking lot will provide a small charge to the battery.
Would love to see your transition plate from the trailer to the ramp. I'm looking at a shore line plug since I am in a wooded area so the solar panels may not work out to well for me
We had the transition plate custom made by a local shop. It's just a 10" wide piece of 1/8" thick diamond plate aluminum with a 30 degree angle bent into it. Then we bought a piano hinge from home depot, pop-riveted it to the aluminum and screwed the hinge onto the trailer. If you're in a shaded area like a forest, the shore plug is a good call. You can likely get away with a small trickle-charger if it's going to be plugged-in most of the time. Also consider putting a 7-pin wiring harness on your trailer/car so the alternator will charge your trailer battery while in transportation.
How did you connect your alarm system to your exterior trailer lights? Did you have the exterior lights somehow run off the battery in the trailer or just tap into the connection running from the car? Thanks
Hi Jacob, our alarm system had a wire which was intended to be tied into a car’s headlights/tail lights. We took this wire and tied it into the brown wire of the stock trailer wiring harness. The whole system runs off of the battery located in the trailer.
@@tictac1919 On my alarm I have a parking light isolation wire and parking light output wire so I'm thinking one of those does what I need. So sounds like you just spliced it in to the brown wire, but are the trailer running lights still powered off your car or is the battery in the trailer what powers them? Also in the video your trailer was disconnected from a vehicle so it seems like the lights are powered from your trailer battery, but what if your trailer battery dies? Then do the running lights not work anymore or are they still powered from the car. Thanks for responding, there's not much info about this online.
Where did you source those door sensors? I am not finding anything but the standard pin switches for auto alarm systems? That looks like a magnetic switch?
Hi Brett, 90% of the materials for this build were sourced from amazon. We just used a generic magnetic door switch with NC and NO contacts, then wired them in place of the standard pin switches. The exact product we used can be found here: www.amazon.ca/Directed-Electronics-8601-Magnetic-Switch/dp/B0009SUF08/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=magnetic+switch&qid=1551322290&s=gateway&sr=8-3 Cheers!
Wow great trailer what did u make the transition flap from and how do u have flapping back and forth
Hi Hardlash, the transition flap is a 10" wide piece of 1/8" thick diamond plate aluminum with a 30 degree angle bent into it. Then we bought a piano hinge from home depot, pop-riveted it to the aluminum and screwed the hinge onto the trailer. To flip it back and forth, the rear door pushes it up and gravity pulls it down. Sometimes simple is the best solution!
Anyway you can share your wiring diagram? Killer setup!!
Certainly, Johnathan. I've uploaded it to google drive where you can view the wiring pdf: drive.google.com/file/d/1L-7vTsGh5OWglTt_YrRNPhErKIbZJ6As/view?usp=sharing
As a DIY modification, what was the approximate cost?
Thanks for your comment! ALL of the parts co complete the upgrades on this trailer totalled approximately $2000 Canadian dollars.
Where did you get the transition ramp for the door?
The transition ramp for the rear door was custom fabricated by a local metal shop! It’s simply a piece of diamond stamped aluminum plate with a 30 degree bend put into it. You can have them cut custom sizes to fit your trailer best. We then pop riveted a piano hinge from Home Depot to the aluminum plate, and screwed it to the trailer floor.
I’d like info on the alarm. The link is not working.
Thanks for commenting William, I have found a similar alarm to the one installed on the trailer. It can be found on amazon here: www.amazon.ca/Universal-Keyless-System-Remote-Control/dp/B07H9TGTMZ/ref=sr_1_5? With that being said, any basic car alarm system will work! Hope this helps :)
Yeah. I like the custom 3-button set up. Please DM any info on that. ig:@audiotogodjservices
Just be careful on the short circuit wiring I see a lot of wood in there it could be fire hazard.just a reminder brother 😇
Thanks for watching our back Sam. Everything in this build is protected my multiple fuses / circuit breakers, so many things would need to go wrong for an overload to occur.
