Lookin' good Homey!!! Thats gonna be one clean and smooth frame when your done.

I am thinking the Michelin Harmonys are looking like the winner. I had the Harmonys on another car before and was happy with them. I just need a well behaved tire with long treadwear. The GYs kept coming up when I searched quiet tires, but I think the Michelins will have them beat hands down. I am sure the P6s peform well, but they are summer tires and probably wear quick due to the softer compound.

Snow is better than rain. Seriously though, I need to get some new all season shoes on the Honda, I am thinking the Goodyear Eagles. Anyone have any experience with these tires in snow ? OR any other comments on these tires or another recommendation for a tire? I am looking for a VERY queit tire is why I am interested in the GYs, and assume they will wear well and last.

Your doors are going to be the envy of all of us who have had to deaden a door through a little access hole. Good luck with getting the door speaker mounting figured out.

The pods look good loaded with drivers!!!

Friday for me Sucka's.

6 inches of snow last night.

Sounds like a hella good night. =D I have been looking everywhere for work that pays more then $15/hr still nothing. Shit.....that is half of what I should be making. FML. Its all the years of abuse catching up with me. ie moshing, car wrecks, work injurys, etc I had to switch from building houses to full time tattooing after the second time I injured my hip. NOW sitting in a chair to long fucking ruins me.

The box looks good Homey!!! I say go with the 15" BTL and call it a day.

Woke up with my hip out this morning and I am hobbling like an old lady.

Awesome job wiring up the gauges. Always a pleasure to see your wiring jobs Sufugi. OMG that engine sounds Eargasmic.

Wha Who to sheveling snow!!!

The box came out SUPER clean lance!!! :fing34: I love how you have everything right behind you, definetly finishes off the spaceship feel.

Way to go Duran!!!!! Thanks for the help.

I have the crossovers built into the HU so I can change the settings while listening. I have had the xover point as high as 1000hz, and as low as 200hz. The higher I have the crossover point, the lower the sound stage gets, And the 12s start becoming over bearing. The lower I go with the crossover point the more the 12s blend. Below 200hz the 3s get strained. Remember this is my first active so I am testing over and over to learn. I have had the crossover point at 250hz for a few months now, 6db slope on the top of the 12s (shallow slope blended better) and 12db on the bottom of the 3s (any less slope they strain). Little by little I get closer to perfection, so I am sure things will change. As far as crossing the low end of the midbass, the lower the better. I keep hesitating to overlap the sub, but after testing realized the midbasses sounded best crossed LoooooooW. I brought the sub back in and it blends better than ever. I have the 12s playing down to 20hz and the sub set at 30-50hz. The other big reason why I have the 12s crossed so low on the bottom is for cooling. The drivers are designed as subs and need excursion for cooling, as I learned this the hard way. To anwser your question about T/A and phasing. Even once you have achieved perfect timing of the different sources waves with the t/a, the waves can still be 180 of each other. One sources wave can be in a compression cycle, while the other sources wave is in a rarefraction cycle, the waves will be 180 apart and attemp to cancel each other out. The next thing to understand is wavelenghts change with frequency, so back to how this applys to the mids and fullrangers. The only frequency that applys to phasing between the mids and full rangers is at the xover point because thats where multible sources are playing the same frequency. I shouldn't say this is the only phasing that applys, because you also want each pair of drivers is phase with each other also. ie: the 3s is phase with each other and the 8s in phase with each other, and then phase between mids and fullrangers. Phasing between each pair of drivers is more across the whole range they are playing, not just the xover point. Usaully notible to me from either severe comb filtering or on driver barking over the other, sounding out of place. I am sure I will get flamed or corrected if any of the techs read this but its a good general summary of whats going on, with my limited knowledge.

Sweet!! Looks like it was fun. Definetly some Chevy love going on around there.

So did you eliminate the ECM and make everything a stand alone circiut? I guess I let the enclosed fuse box throw me off. You guys where doing all aftermarket gauges, Right? This thread is making me want to work on my 72' Blazer.

The wiring harness loOks oh so Clean Jellybean, as I am sure that was your intentions. What sensors and circuits did you have to eliminate? What are all the relays for?

Of the delorean or the chassis?? oh that's right both Double fail. Waste of both.

Did you ever try the teething pills? I've been meaning to re-ask what they were. He is just starting to react and now I really have to. The last time it went away right when I was going to and I know myself, if I don't go do it right away. I'll forget. Help? They are Hylands organic teething pills, BUT I just googled them and it appears the FDA made them recall the last batch. So they are recommending the teething gel. Thier teething tablets have been around for 85 years, Sounds like the FDA just wants to re-regulate them.

Still no package Godsmack. I checked the mail on Friday. Hopefully soon.

I picked up some Fat Tire on my way home. Had to take a break from the stout.

What a waste.
