Why you guys getting in a hurry you don't even have a home for them to nestle in. Jacob can send all of them here I have enough boxes built for 9 of them. uh, well, if i am correct, ol' mike should be about done with chucks box, or dam close to it.... but more important, carl casper is on the 19th, 20th, and 21st. and we are really wanting to be able to hit the show with the 8"s. even if we are installing at the show, lol. do you have 9 ordered? chop

uh, i sorta fast forwarded through the build log, but missed the change in plans.. sorry, but catch me up to date on your box.... this one is going behind the seat , in the cab? are you still planning the blow thru? pics of the completed big three? chop

these have to be in chucks hands by the 18th. will it happen? fingers crossed. chop

i need only three things for my system, lol, too wierd. * radiator for truck * heater core for truck * rear drums for truck FAIL!!! lmao

i am assuming you were refering to how much is too much on daily drivers. so i voted 5k+ i personally am constently broke! saying that to say, the electrical upgrades required to push those amps are exspensive... i currently run a SAZ1500D , it does quite well for me. i do need a new / bigger battery for the truck, but it is not just a audio issue, that battery in there just plain out sucks! i would like to have like a hkc 600 or the likes to back it with, but still not that big of a cost. i think it is all goal related to an extent, it is cool to see the huge setups, but at my level, not needed. and for the sake of all the jr's out there, i have been around a little while and have no idea why we are jumping over sharks, lol i think sharks are scarey and should not be in your car regardless of how much power you are running, lmao

for my personal experiance, i tuned to 35 hz. the first big box i built. it seems to lack something on the real low notes. i thought it meant that i needed to tune it alot lower. i have heard other set ups, also tuned to 35hz. that drop the lows alot nicer. i beleive it is a combo of my design and a loading issue. when i say the lows, me personally, i mean like 22-25hz. everything begins to vibrate and flex.... but you kinda got to figure out what your music plays at, and for loud, well 20 hz. and loud, you will not achieve too well.... .02 i mean, like i think loud is 145 db. plus, when someone says loud, i don't think your current gear will do 20hz. at 145db...... .02 if you like rap, i do, then loud is mid 30's to mid 40's.... and around 145 db.'s plus..... now, if this is what you are after, loose that seat.... go big, and port the enclosure.... you could definetly enjoy the two 18"s in a sealed box..... but imo, the ported box will be able to get alot louder. them Q's will handle the low notes with ease, keep a eye on the gain though. 28hz. tunning seems a lttle low to me, but i am a noob on it still. i want to tune my current box lower by adding a external port extension, when i do, it will drop it to 27hz. so i will be alot lower, i will let you know how that does for me in a few weeks. last thing, shouldn't fuck with five, he is on his game, just quite often in a cocky manner. the dude means well, i have had fall outs with him too, but in his defense, he still takes time to help me when i ask. i think sometimes, well alot of times, he knows the out come and answer, just that he encourages one to look further for the info....... in his own way. i hate saying that the prick is right, but i find myself saying it quite often, lol no offense meant ^ just saying my .02 chop

i like where you are going with this. nice looking ride, and the price is right! the four 12's should sound great. i would chat with shizzzon on about the wall for a sec though. if it the look you are after, then cool, i am into walled out cars, but it does not provide much room for the bass to mature, unload. you might find some other designs that would provide a little more sound without adding a crap load of power. just my .02, lol chop

in the shape of a circle of course, lmao sorry, was feeling a bit goofy there, lol

Lucky 76, it is sorta funny to read the continuous post from shizzzon rushing you on, lol, but you should see it in person, his eyes get all squinty and he looks like he is talking about something quite off subject of a box, lmao trust me, when he is posting a comment about hurrying up and finishing this build, he means it! ha, you better, you might wake in the middle of the night and find him tooling away on it by himself, lol it is looking good bro, i think we are all excited to see some vids of them sexy ass xcons doing there thing. chop

so, like , it has been a while for me too, so i just drive south for two hours and have shizzzon's four DC's gangbang my ears, then i am good for a couple of weeks till my holes heal up, lmao! excited for you to be able to finish, " dam you, drill" , lol. Man, that whole patience issue, i wish i could posses it, everytime i tell myself to take it slow, FAIL, i always end up short cutting myself some where along the build. lol the box don't look hideous though, nothing like bad about it and i bet it will do just fine for now!!! chop

did you get the xcon sent back out again?

So, like, I had this goal set.... then pow.... things has been crazy, but i am back for a minute now. lets see, * IAK Christmas party..... failed, gotta get at least one quick meet in before Feb. so we can organize fo Carl Casper. * Purchase of two batteries for truck, one under hood and one in cab.....both on hold ...ftl * replacement hu for the replacement hu i was currently using, well it was stolen and the one i have, it burnt out! * no work forever, then 63 hours in 5 days, 21 straight one day, wow < why am i tired? * stomach virus...... well hell yeah let me get some of that.... puked and puked until i seen my testical come out of my mouth! * oh, stomach virus...... hey spread the wealth, whole family passed it around, 5 days of 7 people shitting and puking in 1600 sqft. house..... that spells happy holidays. * low funds and extended hours created a need for cash, pawned my sub....FTL. * cordless drill found at bottom of the stairs DOA...... now that sucked like very bad, i liked that dam thing.... it was cracked ever so neatly, completly in half, just the little electrical guts holding it together. * had to witness a story of a certain co-worker that shit himself while riding in another co-worker's truck............. now that is ackward. ---- i asked the "driver" what did you say? lol of coarse, and he looked at me and said " Chop! when a 6'-4" , 375 lb. man shits himself , what are you suppose to say????" he went on to add, " i said nothing, I looked straight ahead and drove him back to the gas station." i know, i know......TMI !!! so that in short is what i had going on..... i think if all goes well i can fix most of this by the following weekend.

read , read read, clickity click, they are quite bad ass. there is a shit ton of info and vids on them. the little baby 187's are pretty tough.... have had some hands on with them. the dp's can do spl easy enough. chop

you gotta let me know how the fuses handled it. sorry we missed it, you already know the scop on that one. will look forward to seeing the new design on the wall . see you at carl casper for sure. might still try to get the ol' dakota down there, but it will be a tight schedule to make it happen. congrates to all, shizzzon, sawsall time!!! chop

Yes, there will be a budget 250w, low Fs 1000w driver, and a 1700-2000w daily driver/ground pounder, and the other two are secrets for now uh, i am guilty of missing crap alot of the time, so if i am misdirected here, please help me out. I am not sure that i ahve heard of this brand, or the story behind it..... I need a good story, it makes things stand out! Secrets, uh, I just found out about this company and now there are secrets. no good imo, ftl. i need a good intro thread saying who you are, history, build logs, a crap load of pics.... i need the full deal here..... no secretes, not yet, lol juice it up a little man, if you have a product to move, you gotta have some type of edge! sharp looking cone design btw. chop

first pic shows the bit for his predrill, second pic shows the bit for his countersink, not sure why he did not point this out to you, but it works when you do not have a predrill countersink on hand. alot slower but it works. make sure on your countersink bit you do not go too deep or get too relaxed, you will sounter sink a half inch depth quite easy.... looking good on the build. keep them coming chop

yup, thats right, since i was 11 years old, and we are getting ready to celebrate our 17 wedding anniversary on Feb. 14th. , Valentines Day! you bet your sweet ass i will be celebrating that i still am with the love of my life! chop

by the time we got her dressed and to the er, she was in bad, bad shape, already being early afternoon, she had already consumed two more doses of this crap. thinking that it would kick in soon! we attempted to get her registered, they took her blood pressure and pulse, but could not take her temp, cause she ralphed all over the place when they tried. her bllod pressure had dropped to 72 over 38.... way low! and her heart rate was 159..... super high! they called into the back that they had a patient that was tacky and rushed into the back. "tacky" > e.r. lingo for heart attack !!! i was super nervous, i have been in the e.r. a few times my dam self, pretty well messed up. i have never seen them doctors kick it into over drive like that before!!! i just knew something was bad, only to here them say, " she is going to go quick" ! that was enough to scare the shit out of me...... i did what any man would do...... i went to the bath room like a little scared bitch and called my mommmy, crying and balling my eyes out, regina is all i have!!! so she calmes me down quickly and i head right back out he door and look into the room.....EMPTY !!! they had rushed her to the critical care area where all the big monitors were and more room for all the doctors that were looking at her. i found her and could hardly get into the room, there was five doctors and a crap load of nurses n there. they took a ton of blod out of her and sent it off..... hooked up iv's and a bunch of heart machines, cramed these big needles into her gut and ass cheek. crazy scary fellas, let me tell you. so after a short while they let me know, indeed, there was no way this was scarlet fever, it was a allergic reaction to something, and quickly identified that it was the "cillin" she had been taking. she stayed in intensive care untill this afternoon, the fever is gone, only spots of her skin are still burnt from the rash and fever, yes burnt! like as in discolored and blistered.! because the medicine was acting like a poison, it was in her blood, and in her guts, her mouth, esophougus , and intestines have sores from it..... her blood is low on b12 and iron, so she is anemic quite bad now from it all. she is on meds for all of this, seven prescriptions total. we are at home now, she is glad to be in her bed and wishes she could eat regular foods, it has to be soft stuff,a chicken nugget could kick her ass right now. the stress her heart was under, changed her blood pressure, so the medicne that she was on for that is now canceled. so at least the dizzy spells are gone for good. the wierd part of this is, i have been allergic to penicillin and all of it's by products all my life. now Regina is too. we have been together since i was 11 years old, perhaps i am rubbing off on her.

so we got her back to sleep, giving her a big ol serving of fever reducer and benadryl. we got up later that morning and her fever was crazy high still, and the rash, was crazy out of control by now. i left all five of the kids at the hotel room, ( sorry guys, mom is first ) and took her to the er. they got her checked in and quite quickly diagnosed it as strep throat rash, bka, scarlet fever! wow, wtf, that is serious shit we thought, never even knew anybody that has had that before! so they gave her a big ol' booster shot full of penicillin, the big brother of all the "cillin's", aka, the poison that her body was trying to fight off !!!!!!!! we went to the drug store and bought up a bunch of stuff to help her feel better till the rash went away........ we got back to the hotel that night, around six pm. the kids were stir crazy, and gina said she would try to just stick it out. so i feed them and let them go swimming while she sorta drug along. we got up the next morning, packed our bags, went to get lunch, stopped at the zoo for like a hour and went to see shizzzon, had to see him and get a demo of that crazy loud setup of his. went home, with her feeling like crap, and looking bad as well. all the while making sure she took her antibiotics so that she would get better soon, remeber, this was poison to her body . thursday we made an appointment for her doctor to see her, he set it for friday morning. we fought the fever with all we could, never once getting it to break. friday morning came andd she was too weak to go any where. so around noon, i talked her into going to the e.r. here in Indy.

wow, i had looked back on this and thought, " why the hell did you write this"?, now i see, to vent for one, but to remind myself of how crappy 2010 has went for me. okay, so Regina's health has been bad for a while. To save alot of writing, her blood pressue medicine is what was causeing alot of the nausia and fainting. the nausia helped bring on the anemia. however, none of that could stand up to what came next. It is my understanding that a person can live a great deal of their adult life without an allergy, only to become allergic to something all at once. Regina had another fainting spell and was again rushed to the er last week. there, they went over all the previous test and decided the only thing that they had not done was to do a cat scan, look at her brain. upoun the completion of this, they informed her she was in perfect health, other than she had a bad sinus infection. odd, because she had no symptoms of one at all. but it was indeed there. so, they prescribed her a antibotic, here goes the spelling out the window, an antibotic called amoxicillin, now there are alot of these "cillin's" running around, a whole family of blue cheese like mold that helps lots of folks stay healthy. Regina has taken this lots of times in the past, so no problem. we thought! They wrapped up the hospital visit by saying she was but only very slightly anemic and healthy other than that, the sinus infection was likely the source of her ailments. Fast forward to last monday, heading to our second home, louisville, KY. not really, but we are there alot. three day family vacation on the cheap, just wanted to get a way for a sec. Regina felt crappy at dinner, as usuall, and we all but ignored her saying so, it has been this way for two months straight, ( the blood pressure medicine's falt) . litttle did we know that the medicine she was taking for her antibiotic was acting like a poison in her body. we left early, she ralphed next to the van, said she felt like crap, we laughed, saying " you always do this" joking " you are only getting mcdonalds from now on" , it is expensive to throw that food right back up....any way, tmi, i know. sorry. we went to the hotel, got dressed into the swim gear and headed to the pool. she still felt bad, which was not so usuall, she should of been okay like always, by this time. so like 15 minutes later, she was getting out of the hot tub and we was like "your chest is super red, you over done it, " she said she felt like shit, and wanted to go to the room. so took a shower, climbed into bed, running a high fever, and slept till like 1am, woke up super sick and had the chills real bad, shivering but yet, burning up with fever. she told me that she felt like she could not breath. i turned on the light to get her medicine and she was beet red! real bad bumps coverd her face, arms , back and chest, i called the dam emt's from the hotel. i was freaking out. they could not take her temp, but samantha's baby themometer read 103.4 ! they said it had to be a allergic reaction to something , take some benadryl and let it flush it out.

Thank you! A big ol' hug to each one of you who showed your support and kept her in your prayers. My SSA family is top notch. Each and everyone of you! I almost lost her and that is no shit, she could of died Friday night! too dam scary for me! Chicagofan!!! Everyone on here, please give this man his props!

Chuck has been here for the family several times, I am proud to know him! *Selflessness*, the act of sacrificing ones own interest for the greater good > aka , my brother, chicagofan!!! All of our IAK and SSA family is great, a big thanks again for the prayers. I plan on giving an up date of what all went down in my other thread, in of topic, nothing to read here. ( i think that is what it is called) lol chop
