i also forgot that i havent posted the wrapped box pics on this one yet so il do that now. and i apolojize for the crapped pics that have been lightened up cuz i couldnt get enough light to take a good pic...

haha il throw some other random pics of some progress also... thanks alot to my dad for doin most of that work on them doors. lol couldnt do it without him! edge panals re-wrapped. Knukonceptz KLMX (will be doing 3 runs) Box i built in the spare time for some eclipse titaniums for a friend

i also have been working on a new console lid. everything is stored in the back room of my garage and my mom doesnt realize chit is fragile and set a bunch of stuff on top of the console, knicking up the vinyl on the console lid. i was really pissed becasue that took FOREVER to wrap in vinyl. but i saw it as an opertunity to do somthing bettter with the armrest pad lol.... cut it all off! made a new armrest pad frame out of 1/4mdf, wrapped it up in tape and propped it up about an 1/8 with double sided tape to compensate for vinyl. used body filler to buildup a nice angle around the endges and sanded it smooth popped insert out and now we have a nice contoured edge. sanded the edges of the insert down a bit to compensate for vinyl and here we have the insert in! it will alter be covered in grey vinyl with an embroidered KG logo and the rest will be recovered in black!

alrite ive been busy waiting to wrap my trim panels until the shipment from parts express comes in (it came today) that contains the grill guides i need to install before ei wrap the amp trim and make the battery trim panel. i decided to make a fiberglass mount for my rear screen to mount to. if anyone has seen it in person or rermembers from pics that it was mounted up at the last minute literally minutes before i left my house to go to prom and it was at an angle and did not conform to the curves of the headliner and looked half ass. i never got around to doing this last year but here it is. and it looks a millions times better. the old look^^^^^ made a frame out of 1/4 inch mdf and used some kerfin techniques glassed and ground downn couple layerrs of filler to smooth it all out. added the braces that the screen will mount to the headliner with and wrapped it in black vinyl to match everthing else. LOOKS SEXAYY lol.

umm prom is may 9th so thats when im shootin for. it happnd last year and i tbest happen this year hahah

alrietyy i got some more picsss. i put 2 more vertical 2x4 braces in and also 45'd the bottom and made it all nice and smooth with some culk. i also added a piece of allthread on the main supports. i first glued the back board on with come liquid nails and then countersunk and screwed it all. a piece of 1/2 will be added to this later for the amps to mount to. i have to touch up the inside a little bit, i used come cult the was white the dried clear lol gotta paint over that. but so far the paint is hard as a rock! here is is with the amp and side trim panels in place. i was going to make new ones but upon ripping the vinyl off the old, realized that they just needed a little bit of trimming and cleanin up and theyl work fine! BTW the XTC baffles are for some selenium super tweets. they have a layer of matt of the back so they are sturdy. i think once i get the tweeter in they will beairtight anyway so there is no posiblility of flex.

alrite ive got a set of the image dynamics idq 31 eq's and if anyone has ever dealt with these they probably know how to help me. the back of them has all liek XLR input and output jacks, except for 1 rca input and 1 rca output. the way i have had them hooked up for the past year (and yes i kno this is horibly wrong and totally killed my stereo imaging) is had the front l+r into a y cable and in to the eq then out and split it back into a l+r rca. and same with the back. It bugged the hell outta me and i do not want to run it like this so i was wondering if anyone can give me any input on all of the other jacks on the back or if anyone has any of the plugs or anything. otherwise after my rebuild i will probably just disconnect these and leave them in for cosmetics lol but its a shame to not use these..

i understand that they are for left and right but i dont even understand y they would just make them mono like that. becasue what about the rear channel? are they just not meant to be used on a 4 ch set up at all?

that was the maximum i could get outta the space i had. im sure they could use a lil bit more but it should be alrite

16 lol

alrite i got all the glassin done so heres the well needed pics! these pics were taken during the first layers of glassing. ther is 3 or more layers of matt of everything. as well as about 1/4 of resin in the bottom to smooth it out. after that i sanded all the roughest spots and smoothed it out as much as i could with filler. then put 3 coats of resin over the top of that. after it was as smooth as i could get it i painted it up with some high gloss white paint. i had to take out a brace to paint easier but i have to put that back as well as 2 more and some all thread the front will be put on this weekend!

im getting new pics up tonight i just finished glassing sanding and painting the inside of the box. i gotta get some mdf tongiht and build the front/amp rack. i can get some pics up in an hour or so acually

yeah man for sure. i was going to work at cc for a lil bit but i wasnt 18 and they didnt like that lol w/e yeah il PM you with it cuz thad be great if a few of us got together at shows

alrite i started a thread on here not to long ago abou tthe elastomeric coating that steve meade used on the inside of the his box and didntt get many replys. i am pretty much done with glassin the inside of my box but i havent started sanding yet. i read about painting the inside with 2 stage paint making it alot louder becasue the waves travel better across a smooth hard surface. but the only problem is i would have to sand the inside to no end. i was plannin on sanding it to an extent and then sprayin it with spray filler primer and going from there. but i have a deadline in a few months and i dont know if this is going to be possible. another factor is that i will beable to see the inside of it and im planning on having it white either way. my other thought latley was to just use the elastomeric BUT being that its an elastic surface rather than a hardend surface, wouldnt that acually cause a DB loss? idk theres just so many damn factors in this i cant decide. i need advice on this lol

sold em all man, sorry!

haha for the money... i put in systems every day and make alot doing it. if u wanna see some of my builds go to www.myspace.com/kgdesignsautosound and funny thing u ask about the doors.. i tried taking the damn handle assembly out yesterday and i can get it. i got the 2 bolts out but it keeps getting hung up on the lever/spring thing at the top and the lock at the bottom. and to take out the inner door looks like taking out the glass can u give me any tips at all cuz i noticed yours are shaved and its basicly the same door?

yes they did think they were the chit. then they re-ran and didnt even do a 146 on the AC. i bet they were like yeah i remeber when i ran through i was afraid i was gonan burn somthing up becasue i had liek no voltage lol i think at idle i was at 11 lol. then i couldnt hear my engine and bout burnt it up from revin it at like 6000 rpm the whole time lol

haha id say so most of the time man haha, il be checkin yours out!

o yeah i remeber that now. for some reason i was thinking the white s10 with no back window had the atomics in them lol more that i think about it i think those were american bass. haha yeah that car didnt do that. they didnt count it i was sittin at the meter table when they did it. the sensitivity got screwed up and bumped it up. lol thye thought they were pretty cool for ahwhile haha. i hope to see u at future shows tho.. nice to know some ppl there haha

haha hell idk i was probably in my own world lolll was your ride there? yes it was. i was running the two Atomic APX 10s on my atomic 5k. on their meter, which was AC to anyone who is reading this btw, i did a 154 flat. its funny because in that class second place was like 144 then it jumped to my 154. On my TL though i was just shy of 150, 149.4 =(. yeah man i think i remeber that..did u have a white truck??? haha remeber that one car that they screwed the meter up and its jumped to the 162? lol
