My thoughts as well. The black looked so much better but then again it's not my truck.

Future DSS Demo Vehicle

Woohoo!! Looking forward to the transformation! -

I do agree. Kind of a shame to hide it under the truck, lol. Wow, thank you Aaron! It's an honor!

oh wait, you said THUMBS LOL... Muchos Gracias Yeah buddy, I can't wait. It's going to be another week before the mechanic can get me in so I'm going to pull the door panels off and get a little work done on them before it goes. I doubt I'll get to any of the fiberglass, but getting some of the other things that need done such as better mounting for the door panels and the repair of the handles (the ones I pull to close the doors, tabs are broken, common problem on these) so that the doors are ready for the big work.

Okay, it's been forever since I had any updates for the Jimmy. Of course with the work load we have over the winter months it's hard to get any free time to work on it at work and I don't have a great place at home to work on it there when it's cold, so.... enough for the excuses, lol. The ETE Reman trans was shipped and arrived last week. I figured I'd throw up a few pics for giggles before the truck and trans went to the mechanic. I just can't wait to get to driving this thing again. Once I get it back from the mechanic work will begin on getting the doors modified and the 8" SLS's and Fountek FR89's installed!

The price is pretty hard to beat too.

Bought an FI SP4 18" last night need help with box design.
altoncustomtech replied to Jbarrera93's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
Awesome. I have an '01 Jimmy 2 door. I recently dropped a reman engine in it (still not completely sure that was necessary) and now I'm waiting for the mechanic to get an opening to drop in an ETE reman transmission. I completely expect to put another 250,000 miles on it after this, lol. The engine was my fault. Turns out that they don't breath water so well, lol. Trans is just the standard 4L60E roll of the dice chance tho. I feel sorry for your truck and the abuse it's about to suffer from that SP4 though, lol. -

Won't need anywhere near all that space but having it available will allow for a great design with good bracing and plenty of port area. I can help. What orientation are you wanting, sub up/port back? What vehicle is this bad boy going in? -

Southwest Indiana. Just about right in the middle in between Evansville and Terre Haute.

You should be proud, you've done really well with it. As for the deadener, it's a lesson learned. I would highly suggest reading up on SoundDeadenerShowdown.com as well. You'll learn a lot more about sound deadening in it's entirety and be introduced to another really good line of products as well. There's nothing wrong with anything I've used from SecondSkin but Don at SDS has about the most thorough knowledge on the subject and best customer service anyone could ask for. How many business owners do you know of that would only suggest selling you nothing more than what you NEED.

Wonderful build. Very well done.
-
Out of idle curiosity, why do you say that's the worst decision you ever made? Otherwise, carry on.
-
to the forum! That's a damn nice build for a "limited" budget, lol.

Transmission for the Jimmy arrived yesterday! Now I'm just waiting for an opening at the mechanic so that I can get it back on the road. He should have an opening for me the first of next week and in the mean time I need to put all the interior back together from where I had it apart running the wires for all the active capability.

Singer alternators
altoncustomtech replied to ohio45113's topic in Amplifiers / Head Units / Processors / Electrical
I have a 250A Singer in the Jimmy. Now I've not had the truck running and the sub and sub amp running at the same time to really see it's potential but I agree, he's fast and the prices aren't bad either. -
Those are absolute beauties!!

Nice looking subie for sure!!

I picked up a pair of these for a friend a few years ago and they were fantastic performers too. Seems like these particular models, IIRC, were rated at 250 wrms but otherwise spec'd out very closely to X series before the upgrades. The buddy I helped to get these was running them bridged on an SAX-100.2 and boy did they ever put in work for a pair of modest little 10's. Fi would definitely have all the details, or should have them available. If it were me and the price was right I wouldn't hesitate.

Sorry man, I'm hardly ever even on FB. I'd have caught a PM here a lot faster since I practically live here part time, lol. I'm reading and responding to your FB message now.
