    Mac N Cheese's build log

    ohh didn't know that... i was thinking it would be alright just to do the resin because it was solid after one coat... On a small tweeter, you can get away with just fabric, resin, and filler. It wont need much strength. A larger speaker enclosure will generally need the layering of mat.

    Check out some of this stuff. It stays tacky during layers so you dont have to sand. Tap Plastics Then on the last layer, you add the hardener. Surface Curing Agent Its pretty cool stuff. You will want the bubble buster as well. Coming along nicely. How do you get exactly 67% though! LOL
  3. I dont know anything about tractor batteries but it if it was me, I would go with the Kinetics. The 2000s are only $35 more each. Sounds like a good deal.

    Oh ya. Gotta be thick ass white lettering on a black hat. Cant wear much else cause they dont feel or look right. Tough to find the size too, 7 3/4- 7 5/8. Big ole egg head! 7 3/4s here hahah i have a sick ass collection of 59 fitted hats Whoops. I meant 7 3/4- 7 7/8. I always have a good few that I wear but they get sweated up eventually and shrink every time! Lost a shit load of lids that way.

    Fi Hoody Review

    RIGHT! i have the same prob!!!! pucking sucks lol like id need everything to stay the same but add 3-5 inches in length. they should come out with dickie button ups I thought they used to make them because meade was always wearing them.

    Fi Hoody Review

    I just got one too for the Autorama this weekend. I like the hoody but it seems a little short on the length though. Im only six feet tall too! I got a XXL and it fits perfect other than that. We need those LT style Scott!

    Quiet's 06 Chevy Build log

    Actually the resin and hardener combine to form a chemical reaction like jroadtatts said but...it also takes a combination of the right weather as well. The hardener and resin are formulated to use in weather around 70-80 degrees. Its optimum but you can do otherwise like you all have seen. I have heard that the structure can become weaker if too much hardener is used. Ie to speed up the curing process in cold weather.

    Project questions

    okay so when i fuse those wires does it matter where on the wire? should they be closer to the distribution block or the amps? If you are downgrading in size of wire from the d block to the amp then you should fuse as close to the d block as possible. If using the same size wire after the d block then I wouldnt worry about fusing it. Unless your amp doesnt have on board fusing.

    Quiet's 06 Chevy Build log

    This is a great looking truck. This is a good job for starting your first fiber glassing project. Some tips I picked up... If you are using large sheets of mat, try instead tearing them into workable squares. It helps with giving the fiberglass structure more strength. If you havent gotten a bubble buster, I highly suggest it. Try using a space heater on each side of the truck. Wont take long at all. Dont forget to sand in between layers unless you have that new polyester resin. I get mine from Tap Plastics. It stays tacky until you add the hardener on the last layer. Cool stuff. Good luck!

    2010 SSA ICON 15" Prototype

    Looks great as usual. Ive got a Geo, Mark. Can I test out a prototype as well?

    Project questions

    If this is your first try, do it right. Find a proper grounding location. You can use distribution blocks from one run of wires to split the wires to the separate amps.

    Designing a 3 way active

    I started my two way active build in September of last year. Granted, Ive had some hold ups but it just takes time. I still dont have it done yet. A good active system will require a lot of time in installation and planning. The learning of of this said system should take much, much longer.

    Excellent build dude. I love a blow through. Sucks about the US amps. That had to hurt! Great job.

    bigrank916 MLI-65 project

    Im going to try the Vifa later with the geo. They look nice and Ive seen others use them here. Plus they are really cheap and thats GOOD. Im going to attempt a three way in it... Yes, this is my first active system. I cant wait to get it all together and tuned. I'll let you know how I like them. You are lucky with the Honda and that good gas mileage. Im getting some nasty numbers on my side! Maybe when the geo is said and done, I could make a SoCal trip. That wouldnt be bad at all in that. Yeeaaah riiiiggght.

    From 1 btl to 2 btl's box build help

    It would be ideal if you can get the exact dimensions to start from. This will tell us if it is appropriately sized or not. As long as the enclosure you are using is solid, then switching the baffle is...ok. Hopefully its not the one in the video, where the rubber mounting trim is slapping against the baffle. If it is, Id start over from scratch.
