    Well ... here it is guys !!! 4" front and 6" rear ... We need to trim the finderwells, install a "C" notch, replace the front tires, and get a front end alignment ... But for the most part ... She rides great !!! for a Low Rider ... LOL I know, these pics were taken a night. Mainly because we just finished her up before I had to get to work ... I know, I realy didn't want to go THAT low ... but screw it, you only live once ... I plan to have fun with it !!!

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Its all good brother ... No worries, but If I could see a "midrange driver" like you are referring to dig down and play consistant around 50 to 70 hertz like i have mine set to now, I might would consider it (well, atleast think about it) ...Ha, no way. They won't but you don't need those freq's up top for imaging.If they can't handle it, I don't need them then ... I know Sir ... which is why I bought the best drivers that would work for my application ...and if I didn't need those frequiencies up there, I wouldn't have made the effort to set it up that way ...

    Not sure ... just testing the waters of a better score, but whatever got done ... Improved scoresand having them like the was sounded really nice for 2 seat listening, but passenger seat sounds like shit now where stage and image is concerned. but most orgs only judge single seat now ... kinda sucks actually, but what can you do

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Fixored. Definitely a sign of shitty coffee when it tastes bad black. Tell tale sign of stale beans.I just don't like the taste of Black or cold coffee ... of any kind !!! cheap or expensive, whatever ... To be honnest, I hate the taste of any coffee. I'd rather drink a cold MTN Dew, but the doctor (and the wife) thinks I should lay off of those some ... So i have to divert to something

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Wow that's cool. I'm guessing that is was about 17 or 18 years ago for my visit to Italy.And about all I seen there was pasta and pizza ... and some VERY expensive beer Didn't drink coffee back then.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I'm not sure of our company coffee is "cheap" or not but works I guess ... ... And I am very guilty of adding my sugar and creamer to the coffee !!! No way I can drink Black coffee ...

    Thanks man and Yea, the GMT400s are my favorite body style too ... I wish I could find a decent 2500 series truck to pull this one or my 49 Ford on a trailer to shows and events ... I can afford to get a new truck if I really wanted to, but I just don't want the notes ... That and what i now pay on the wife's 2013 Chevy Curze would kill my habbits and addictions ... LOL

    They keep the coffee stocked at the office ... I just use what they have there, not sure what brand it is, as long as it's strong !!!

    Me either. But when you get older and work graveyard shift like me, you learn to depend on it ... Its not if I like it or not, it's trying to keep myself awake at night ...

    Yea my Black '91 Chevy rode real good, Just wasn't a monster over speed bumps and such ... LOL I'm just not wanting to go too low because I'm not the only one that drives my truck ... I found a GMT400 (chevy truck) for my son. Its a single cab SWB. Not sure what year model it is yet, going to look at it soon ... Trying to see if he is going to make the grades and if I'm going to actually have the money to get it or not at this time ...

    I hear and understand you Sir, It's nothing "perfect", but we are working on it as much as we can ... I'm learning, please be patient with me guys !!! I know, I've always wanted a 2-seat judged vehicle, but in order to play with the big dogs in their game, you have to make exceptions and changes ... guess when we actually retire this truck from Sound Quality competition, we will set it back up to the 5.1 surround setup like I wanted it to start with ... Sooooo ... We now have the tweeters set up "on-axis" with the driver's listening position. We moved the driver's tweeter closer to the midrange driver, and Completely re-angled the passenger's tweeter towards the driver's right ear listening position, then moved it as close as we could to the midrange driver. We also raised the tweeters up as high as we could in the dash pods without getting bumped up in a higher competition class. Now the tweeters and the midrange drivers are within 3/4s (give or take) of an inch in being in perfect time alignment with each other, so there is absolutely no need to time align them separately ... We just need to figure out on how to get the dash pod grille covers made before Finals. We wanted (well, gave is some thought) to change the angle of the passenger midrange driver too, but with the Air-Bag cannister in the way, it was impossible and I'm not going to go through the trouble of cutting that cannister out when it was the tweeters that needed the most attention anyways ... So far, the best scores are in the midrange section, so for now, NOTHING will change there ... Maybe something that will need to be done later (and NO, changing from a 5.25" to a 4", 3" or whatever will never happen ... so no need to make that suggestion. Any "smaller" driver will simply not have the "balls" to work with my application), Guess It will mainly depend on how it scores at this year's World Finals ... ... Also, got me a cool dash pad cover to help out with the center image !!! Rebecca Pidgeon and Sara K. (Chesky Records Ultimate Demonstration Disc) sound SOO much better and more realistic now !!! Nothing like trial and error !!!

    Been a LONG time since I drove a lowered truck ... My Black '91 Chevy had a 5" / 7" drop setup on it from Bell Tech ... Wish I had pics of that truck.
