well, that sucks. next season will fix that though, here's to wishing you better luck through the coming season bro! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hah yea that would be just fine, especially if it saves me a dollar. I think I might try to build one anyway just for the fun and experience. If I get yours, I can just try to mimic it except I want to use some fiberglass just to learn it. what's your plan for the new box? Cut PVC at the hump? not just that, but fit the trans hump a little better. maybe paint instead of carpet, or bed liner. like sean mentioned, i really like to change things up quite often. btw, i'll pm you a price a bit later on today. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

well, i'll catch up sometime tomorrow. see you kind gentleman later.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sounds like a good time frame. when does the tour go through MN? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'll trade you a la audio x2 12 for that ixl!! and i'll toss in a eqs! and tom, that'd be cool. i know i'm definitely heading up there sometime, i wanna see teh man use that expensive equipment on my cheapo box, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I have an extensive review to do before I can do anything with it. Shortly after I move. well, i've got dibs then. and if needed, i'll bring that la audio with me. i need to move that thing one way or another, lol. and these two blown eclipes ti 12s as well. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee It may very well end up in my living room, it is a sexy mofo and my Crown is begging to throw some heat on it. @#$%^&*() wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm going to buy a fainting goat, does that count? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

when is the 08 power tour?? i might even, *gasp* truck up the king, so i can bagger carve a little up there... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slaeyr:

i've also got kicker ss 6.5s sitting here. guess i could bring those. maybe steal the dayton aluminum mids from the boy's TM cabinets, lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I could bring my Funky Pup! my funky pup is dead but i have the rmbs, clarion (aka re re) 8s and of course my rl-i. but the rmbs are teh only true dedicated midbass speakers i have. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

dual 4, parallel for a 2ohm final load. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yep, it'll work. factory speaker wire is plenty unless you plan on huge power for the doors. if you're replacing the h/u as well, and depending upon where the amp is, you could just run the speaker wire from the amp to the h/u harness. we did that alot at the shop i worked for, and it's how my silverado is done. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

awww..sweet. thought i was missing something, lol. that would be cool, meet the yeti as well. nice! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Matt said he'd fly in for it as well, plus I think with a little pushing a few others will come as well Should be some room in the new digs to have some fun. First annual SSA kegger. sweet. have to bring a firearm or two....you out in the woods so we can blow a thing or three up? if tom wants a little tweeter experience, i'll bring those planars up i have just drawing dust. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

hmmmm... i'll hit you with a pm tomorrow, as i'm off to bed as well. you mind buying a used enclosure? all this talk of building as me wanting to redo mine, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

T.O.P. i'll bring my kicker rmb 8s. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but it is just that, an exception to the rule. even in the 60's, it took the cobras, the cobra daytonas and the gt40 to beat the corvette. everything else just doesn't measure up. and as helo pointed out, teh vette is easily a world beater when price, performance, availability and ease of service is all factored in. no, it doesn't have ferrari's handbuilt excellence or finess, but it takes a ferrari costing twice as much or more to beat it. oh and with teh new mandate of 155mph top speed (IIRC), it's kinda pointless. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee To carry the same argument I could have said of course you can buy two Mustang GT's for the price of the Vette or modify one to beat it. The bottom line is it is about market segmentation, Ford could care less about the Vette and perhaps GM should learn from them. If the General can make it another 5 years without filing chapter 11 I will be very surprised. Their whole goal of cutting costs to sell more cars to try and support their infrastructure is killing them and they aren't learning. Ford on the other hand is changing to fit the times, even JD Power realizes this as they rated Ford's reliability higher than any other company in the most market segments. GM didn't even come close to any. Their actions and designs are going to kill them as a company. At the moment they are the downfall of the Detroit economy as well as they are so big their actions effect everything else in town and believe me being a supplier to them it is ugly as hell at the moment. GM's lousy business plan aside.... to carry your argument, i could take the money i could spend on a gt40, buy a z06, modify it and kill the gt40. you tomato, i say tomaatoe(i have no clue how to spell lol) argument. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ummm, yep! killer combo there! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i was about to leave and read this... what is this power tour you speak of, and how come i just now read about it? am i that far outside the loop? damn.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

holy chit batman !!! that is crazy! you can defintely tell where it's going to rattle, lol. that peak is the crazy. and you have some serious tools/toys. hanging out here with you guys is really making me feel dumb. times like this, i feel like i belong at the chithole. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Kent, you belong here not the chithole believe me I like you which I surely can't say about the fools over there. As for the peak, it is a bit exaggerated...but it does show exactly how the roof will bend when exposed to 51hz. When we do the box comparison we will see similar things in the mdf, although the motion will be less than the driver the surface area of the box is larger which is basically more Sd which of course needs less motion. It will surely paint a picture for us. like me or not, most of the crew here really makes me feel inferior, lol. damn. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Bah, you have absolutely no reason to feel inferior. Ever. yeah well, i look at the names in here and knowing what a few of you do for a living and/or what you are in school for, and yeah, my GED having ass feels pretty damn dumb. but thanks anyway. you see the springfield i traded my rustbucket kimber for? it's a few pages back. can't wait till i get the little pig and pop off a few. and with that.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'll probably just try and do everything right the first time. Like I said before, I'll be tackling this project over xmas break so I should have a good 3 weeks to work on it. If I just whack out an MDF box and I'm not happy, I won't be able to rebuild till the summer. But then again, if I can't get the volume then I'll have no choice but to go the 1/2" MDF route. I saw a seat lifter kit that gets an extra 2.5" With that, I should be golden. Yes I know I don't need the kit to lift the seat but remember I cut those dam tabs on the back and the kit comes with longer tabs. Sean, do you agree with Kent's alternative sub selection? they make a kit to lift the seat? oh shit. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

That looks really good. Unless I run into a time crunch (which is very possible), I'll probably stick to fiberglassing the bottom to get over the hump even if I only fiberglass over the hump and leave MDF for the rest of the bottom underneath driver/passenger sides. I'm excited to try my hand at it and learn something new and it will look that much cleaner (assuming I don't suck). I think I could handle something like that though. You don't have any pictures of the port from inside do you? you can glass over the hump, or as i've thought about doing, cut a piece of 2" pvc in half, notch the box accordingly and secure it with resin and screws. also, no inside pics. but the port is 11.5" long, IIRC, and its liquid nailed and screwed to the box. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
