After the crowds around it died down I was able to check this out: I smiled when I saw this inside: Up close of the subs: I got a nice little demo from this bad boy: Inside this: Then again, it was right next to this: Those guys were making their presence known. I saw this there: Had to do a double take when I saw this in there: I hunted down the owner and sho nuff that was my old box. Got a little demo. Turns out it sounds better in his truck than in mine. Wrapped up the day with this: The doors, still a work in progress, but looks to be going in the right direction: Yep, another wall in a four door: Holee-shyt: Bed time.

Moving along I came across this: A little close up of the box: A little something from the other side of the pond: In the back of the Rover: Nothing says "Welcome to East Texas" than a Buckee's pillow pet. Up next was this: This was inside of it: Then there was this little guy: Feast your eyes on what was inside: I saw this pretty cool SUV there: Tidey little install inside of it. The subs are Obsidian. Yes, there's more.

This was at the show: A peak inside revealed this: A deeper look inside and viola: These are the amps pushing it all: Then I saw this: Inside was this: Here's what was powering it all: I saw this there too: Inside was this: One interesting 4th order. It was running four Atomic 8s. Here is another pic of the drivers: To be continued.

Now this little number: Inside, all this: And the power plant driving all this: Dumbass me almost got run over by this: Check this out: A wall in a benz: Clean interior in that little benz: I saw this too: It had this in it: More on the way.

They sound better. I'm at the mercy of the MS8 though. I end up going through a couple of auto-tunes before hearing a tune that I like. From there I bust out the RTA and tinker about with the EQ. Definitely a good value. Right now I have them high passed at 2K Hz on a 24dB/oct slope. That seems to be the ticket.

I'm trying. Lol! Practice makes perfect, and God knows I need all the practice I can get. I'm hoping to do well at this comp. Thanks.

Cool beans, see you there. FYI, I fessed up about the knee-highs to the Mrs. It's better she hears it from me than reads about it on the interwebs.

O_o Lol! I'll be there. What days are you guys going to be there?

Long time no talk how's everybody doing? I've got a little update to share. Since having my arse handed to me at an SQ comp in College Station and being a little jelly of all the badass fiberglass work I've been seeing as of late. I've decided to up my game a wee bit, starting with the a-pillars. Lets begin. I started off with a little flush mount pad for the tweeter and a little mdf wedge to mount it on the a-pillar. After a couple of measurements I mounted the pads onto the a-pillar with a generous amount of hot glue. A quick trip to the dollar store netted a nice pair of ladies knee-highs. I added some rubber bands to help shape the pod to my liking. I opted for a thin layer of resin on the nylon for a little rigidity before laying down some glass. With the rubber bands out of the way I laid down two layers of woven style fiberglass. FYI, all glassing materials were picked up at the local Wally-mart. After a light sanding some body filler went on. After some more sanding the light weight body filler went on. After even more sanding the surface is finally ready. With a show coming up I opted to install the a-pillars naked. Some time next week I'll be wrapping them in vinyl. For now some as installed pics. A shot from the drivers side looking towards the passenger side tweeter. Now from the passenger side looking at the driver side tweeter. Lastly a pick from the rear seat. Till next time, enjoy.

Let me know when you're ready for some a/c and engine accessory brackets for that LS swap. I might be able to help. Sweet project.

That port is a big'ums! How's the SQ gonna be? Serious question now. What kind of wood is that? Thnx.

Scaling off the pic, those magnets look to be 10" in diameter.

Looks nutty, like JBL's Differential drive thingie, but turned up to eleven.

Holy chit!

If the box is a common chamber there might be a loading issue depending on the distance of the subs to the port. What did the coils meter, new and old?

Happy birthday!

That's a weird looking button thingie.

^^^ x2 HBD!

Looking forward to your results. You've come a long way since we first met. Impressive what hard work and determination gets you. Congrats.

Nice ride with tons of buttons, buttons galore even. In to see how the Stevens HLCDs work out for you. I've got a pair myself, but just cant get the project rolling. :/

I'll bring the beer and make fajitas, let me know when.

Nice subs, congrats. Can't wait to see'em in action. I say call'em "Crushers".

This sux for all parties involve. Wish I could help, but I've only got 15s in pairs. Hey there, how about Jon's NSv1s and a pair of BTLs?

This one snuck up on me. System is down due to update.
