I try not to talk about stuff like that too much. I'm so nauseous as it is!

I shouldnt have brought it up... sorry.

hahaha Fat Upper Pussy <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That is truly, truly disgusting.

I see you DennisP

FUP??

I believe that was in fact a TOP, and you sir are entitled to making that known!

You get like this 450Lb lady who has the pouch in front below her stomach that looks like she has her butt in front... yea, its disgusting.

I felt so guilty killing people by serving them chili cheese dogs (ewwwww)

They had some good 'franks"

I used to work at Nathan's

Good job on not smoking for a week man. Keep it up. Arnold Schwarzeneggar voice "You Kun Doo Et!"

Where?

Note that I said "I might" try Noah's suggestion . I like the way I did it. I probably wont do it a different way not that I found the groove. I have a pretty good attention to detail, and all the strips got a thorough globbing of fiberglass. The way I did it seems to me to make the most sense, and it was very easy for my first flirt with 'glass. I may try dipping for the second segment from the enclosure through the doorpanel. We shall see.... But seriously thanks, to everyone. Knowing that I did a good job gives me a lot more confidence...I could glass all day if it wasnt for all the toxins!

The basketball grille is a DLS signature, no one else has it (that I know of), and I think it helps them stand out from otherwise being another bland European company. From a cosmetic standpoint, I think its pretty cool looking. Realize that brand identity is very important in the car audio industry. I think DLS has made a great name for themselves, and they have the products to back them up as well.

Thanks for the dipping tip ngsm13, I might try that next time. I did tear the strips, and cut back the frayed edges, it made things very messy, and I didnt really like doing it thwat way. I am sure that the reason they stand up like that is because the angle was so sharp, and the pieces weren't saturated. As you can probably tell, a lot of the resin dripped down into the bottom (which is not really a bad thing). I started out by laying the strips down, inside the hole, then just globbing the resin on them with a 1" brush (which worked fine, I dont need smaller brushes). I had too much hardener the first batch, so the resin that was on the brush was slightly lifting the strips up as I went along. I just worked as quickly as possible, and everything except those edges taht portrude over the edge laid flat. I thinned out my resin with some acetone for the second encl. and it went very easily. Like I said, getting those edges to lay flat on the edge was very difficult, but my main focus was to get the bottom and sides well sealed. The stuff that is hanging out from the edges will be cut off, and I'll probably do another layer today, then I'll cut my baffles and glass these enclosures to the back of them. These enclosures arent too small. The reccomended enclosure size is 0.4 to 0.9 LITER (not cubic feet). These alone are enough, although I should gain some more volume from the second half (you'll see) req, they are going to be attached to the front section by fiberglass, but executing that will be another challenge . I may have to get crazy with some dowelling on the surface of the doorpanel to get the angles that I want. But for now, I am just going to mount these little enclosures to the back of the doorpanel, and glass through the opening of those OEM grilles. I took the grilles off already, and I will get some more pics for you guys tonight. The 4" and midbass are going to be in front of the doorpanel, not behind it. Its so hard to explain without images. I made some mock-up cardboard templates and Ill take some pics of the plans tonight. Hopefully everything turns out the way I want. This seems to be the best way to do it, but I am open to suggestions.

Id say its an even toss-up. Both are great amps, so budget is obviously going to be your main concern here. I personally dont see the advantage to spending more to get the Zapco's when the D7s can be had for about $1000. Obviously I am biased, but I have been very impressed with Diamond Audio's products. I have never heard anything but praise for the D7 series, they are some of the best amps around. From first hand experience, I can tell you that my D7056 is probably the most solidly built amp I have used yet, and I LOVE the way it is designed. Extremely flexible input and ouput options, the crossover adjustments are second to none. I would highly reccomend the D7 series over the Zaps. Even though I have no experience with Zapco, I frankly don't believe the hype that surrounds their products. People truly idolize Zapco amplifiers, lik e they have magical powers. It sickens me. A watt is a watt as they say.

Thanks guys.

^^^^ ahh a TOP, nice way to finish my day.

im off to bed. see y'all tomorrow aka MY DAY OFF

For as much the whore that Paris Hilton is, I wouldnt want her touching my food. Is that reallt the image Carls is going for? Do they want people to think its a sleazy strip club, or a family restaurant? Drop the ad. She= teh b4rf
