Well the time has come for me to change it up a bit. I ran the setup for a couple of years and really enjoyed it. It got loud and low.:nod: But all good things must come to an end. So it was time for some destruction! Things are slow as I have to work around wacthing my son but it is coming along. Now on to the pics......Before the carniage! That's the old.

You wont recieve anythihng except a letter saying thank you. You pick up your tickets either friday(speedpass) or Saturday at the gate. They will ask your name and look on the list to see if you pre registered. You then get your packet with the braclets,stickers, and other various items.

Sure thing! Should be plenty demos to be had this year...always like meeting new prople and putting a face to the name!

Thanks for the compliments guys! I appreciate it.

Now thats close... ProjectDB in thaa house... Thats a good thing!

Thanks. These are the M1s that are rated 5k@12v. The M1s is only 32" long as well. As for the price I would have to disagree about them being expensive. If you look at other comparable amps you will see that pricing is fairly similar if not better with B2. Here is the new store so you can see the prices. Check around and you will see they are quit similar.http://b2audiostore.com/main.sc For example Sundown 3500.1v2 $1125 DD M4 $1400 B2 Zero.1 $999 SAZ NS-1 $1800 DD M4a $1700 B2 m1s $1600 As for the wiring all of this will be covered and never seen. But I still take pride in making it look good. I knew it was going to be covered by the amp rack but still it was really organized! Your right it's not all that expensive compared to other amps similar in power. Thanks. I may add some loom later on. But for now its nice and tidy:thumbsup:

Sadly Mrs. Gates passed away a couple months ago:( Her vehicle and trailer were sold to a friend of mine who will be bringing it to various shows in her memory.

Also, if anyone has never been please try and make it to Slamology this year. You won't be disappointed. Alma Gates' Bronco will be on display, and I hear there is going to be an even larger turnout the last years 250+ competitors. In addition to all the spectators and others involved in the car show part. All in all you can expect 10,000+ people over the 2 days. Come on out and show support. There will be several guys traveling long distances to make this event. So why not you too?!?! See you there:D

i did a quick walk through of the X997 unit. Here is the video

And thats about all for now.

And this is were it all sits.

Little old VS new.

Did some beauty panels to block off the sides and make things look a little better. Getting ready to do some wiring.

A little fabric...

Mocking things up...

Here is the amp rack I fabbed up for the new amps. Routered..

Alright everyone. I don't get on here much, but I thought I would update everyone. Basically everything is new on this build except the enclosure. Back on 12v, all new wiring,amps,subs,batteries,etc..... Equipment consists of 2 B2 m1smkII amplifiers, 6 DC LVL4's, 2 audiobahn 4004's,and misc mids and highs from PE(dayton,peersless,HiVi). I redid the back half where my bank was. dressed it up a bit so its not just bare wood. Eventually there will be a fiberglassed piece that covers the entire rear opening so all you see is the amps and a couple component speakers on either side. Anyway on to some photos...

Thank you! I went into the design with the intent on sounding good. Not looking loud like I see in some vehicles. I don't care for the 3 12's and 4 super tweets like I have seen. I wanted a good quality sound that I could listen to a varity of music on and still sound amazing. Also I wanted to be able to leave the subs off sometimes and not sacrifice the lowend to much. The outcome is what you see. A blend of multiple drivers that compliment each other well. It doesn't lack in the mid bass/range like you hear with some setups, and its not overpowering in the highs either like you get when you run multiple ST's with 100watts per. Overall the sound quality is very well balanced and keeps up well with the sub stage if needed. Also when the doors are open it still retains most of that quality over a nice distance.

Thanks. It was nice to meet you! It was done from what it normally would be since I only had the one 4k at 1.4.

Thanks everyone! It sounds as good as it looks...its not the loudest but it does break 50's sealed up so I'm happy. It really comes alive with the doors or window open. The new mids I added behind the head rests really make a difference. They help center up the staging and helps the vocals on heavy bass songs.

Just a couple....lol! I like to make things look organic somewhat. Not just a bunch of flat panels.

So here it is all finished(well about 95%)...Took these at Slamology over the weekend. It was a hot sumbitch for sure.
