Love the sink. That's hella primitive looking.

Just got back from Habitat for Humanity. They had a Definitive Technology Procinema 800 surround setup they were just getting ready to hook up to a Marantz 7005. I may be going back to see what they priced the procinema at!

Snowing here today. Freezing fucking cold to boot.

Politics and religion. Two subjects I don't touch.

Thanks guys!! Has been a ridiculous amount of man hours. I guessed 70-80hrs when I started, but I'm probably closer to 130hrs at this point. Has been one wicked awesome spring work out. 2000+ pounds of material lifted at least six times each. Did I mention this is on the second floor.

I am definitely ready to be done and back to speaker building. lol Got these little cuties in the mail yesterday!!

Still need to install the door and button everything up, but here is with the grout and sealer done! woot woot.

Grouting in 3, 2, 1...

All that talk about pressure washers a few weeks ago, and mine shit the bed today. Making nasty noises and foamy oil in the pump case.

Super Jelly. The weather here is just starting to warm up.

That shine is impressive my man. looks like a new car!

DAMN!! Killing it playa'!! keep the pic's coming.

Hang in there buddy... take a breather. A love for rebuilding older cars can require a strong stomach at times. Its an inanimate object though, and you got this baby!!

Woot Woot! Is that an event that is near you, or one that requires travel?

I was drooling over the new Acura NSX, until I seen the price tag.

OMG that thing is gorgeous! Insane power to weight ratio!!! One more thing to lust over in this world.

Welcome to SSA!! what do you have going on audio wise?!

That mf will spend the rest of his life in protective custody. Otherwise he would get beat to death in the first few months. That shits as bad as being a chomo. Poor kid.

The fact we're having this conversation leads me to believe the BTL would be a great candidate for your application. LOL I ran my BTL in a 5 cu. ft. tuned to 32hz. Going with the largest recommended size will net the smoothest response. I did the minimum of 16 sq. in. per cubic foot, and still ended up at 6.3 ft.³ internal volume. So be prepared for a really large enclosure. The BTL treated me good on just about every kind of music. I had a sub woofer level control on the head unit, and just set the sub to sound musical at zero. When I wanted things to get violent, the knob got turned!! That is when the BTL really shined and pulled away from the pack on the low end. As far as a second battery. I would recommend going one of two ways. Either set up everything else and see how your voltage is... or if you have the money to invest just drop it in and be done with it. Too much power is definitely better than not enough, on so many levels. I had a 250 amp alternator, a 3400 under the hood and a 1200 in the back, and the headlights still dimmed at full tilt. But it was oh so heavenly being bathed in bass when needed. My current set up is two 15" Icons in a sealed box. I think any less than that after the BTL and I would not be satisfied. Hope that helps in your decision.

Did you survive?

Unlabeled fuse holder + SSA decal = cha' ching!

Now you just need to think of what you want to be called?! My designated name is P-Paw.

Congrats!! Chilling with mine atm.
