Frostedflakejake

i just used house paint... it worked fine.

i would love to go to some Michigan shows. I've never even really checked out a high budget system in person! I would like to see some serious stuff! keep this thread updated please!

i have no clue. ha. but thats what the original link was. he also said he knows about Iraggi and DC power, but he was just curious about that one. Maybe he answered his own question?

ha what happened? he used to have a good thread here... well he was asking about this alt 88-93 Blazer/Jimmy 4.3/5.7L 200 amp version for 164.99 for his blazer. I read his post right after he made it.

Yeah i'm feeling that. such a shitty weekend

So after ordering parts and doing some small work here and there since August 09, i finally decided to start this build log. It's my first real build. Everything else prefab boxes and no electrical upgrades needed. (two set-ups off of a Crunch p1100.2. my favorite set-up was 2 12" mtx tr55 in mtx ported box). So this current build is a big, giant step for me. All the equipment is in my signature. It's my first box build and i went off of some dimensions that i received here on the forum. Should be around 32 hz (home depot doesn't do exact cuts!!). I wasn't entirely sure what to do for bracing... If i'm not pleased with the sound of this box, i'm more than open to making another one. Just wanted to try it first on my own. Right now i'm being held up by, of all things, ring terminals. I posted a thread listing the horrors that has been this project. Here's the link if anyone is interested Is This Normal? - SSA Car Audio Forum I have all the products i need, i'm just waiting to install. Box is carpeted so i have to get new pics of that. Installing the components is the next hurdle for me, another first for me. So on to pics!! Tried to capture everything. theres how the sub came it's STILL sitting like this in my room, after 6 months. sub next to me, yes, I'm a young buck. picture of my truck!! (the tires are a joke) Head unit!! the battery i didn't really want Had no idea what i was doing here with the bracing... double baffle wish me luck!!

Ha yeah the tires are for a 1953 Dodge M37 military truck. 39's. I would need about... 8 inches of lift to fit those puppies on. Onto the audio world!! I don't have much time today due to finals coming up, so my hope is to get the BTL into the box! Simple really... but it sucks because it can't stay in the box cause i'm not leaving it out in the garage... thats just asking for a screwdriver through the cone. So hopefully that will get done today and i can upload some pics!

so M5, are you suggesting a baffle instead of rings? I'm confused to as how else i would cover more surface area.

I'm horribly sorry if this isn't the section to do this sort of thing.

man i want that challenge to go down sooo bad. I don't mind being proved wrong and having M5 loose, i just want it to happen.

I don't want to have the "baddest ass system"... i want to have a system that makes me happy. If there is a guy on my left who has a better SQ setup and a guy on my right who can hit 180db... i don't really care that my system isn't as good as theres. Sure, i'll walk over and see whats up and what they are running. But i don't get my self esteem and my hard-ons from having a better system than everyone else when i pull into a parking lot. I've been reading you're bickering with M5 for about 20 minutes now on different threads. I usually try to avoid conflict because my knowledge is limited. But sense I've read all the arguing I would have to agree with M5. Stating your achievements over and over and over again is rather annoying. It's in your signature. We can see it. And you often fail to answer M5's questions... i don't remember what thread it was... it was the one where Impious chimed in. I have no personal experience from them but they both seem extremely helpful and intelligent when it comes to this stuff. I mean, on the forum homepage they hold the top two spots for most supportive. They know their stuff. I would like to say the same to you... but in my opinion, you haven't exactly proven that. You have said some good, helpful things. But then alot of the time some dumb-ass comments come out of your mouth. Like the whole notes below 25hz in daily music thing. Just take M5's comments. Sure, he doesn't exactly have Santa Claus like cheer, but he's got knowledge. And i feel like you do as well but you're hiding it. Either that or whoever really set-up your truck has the knowledge. I respect your competitive spirit. But gloating about winning just makes you seem immature. And i definitely respect your relationship to Blues car audio. Better luck on your truck. My explorer back window had a water leak itself (funny how that happens when someone breaks your rear window ), luckily no equipment was inside. If there are any comps near Michigan i would love and come check out your truck.

anyone know a price estimate on the x's? like anyone remember what the prices were last time they were available?

oh?? then I'm even more excited to see the pics! Maybe you should put some up today of this custom jeep.

Yeah =[ sorry to hear the bad news. Wranglers aren't the best sub vehicles. Just mounting the amp on the box would be extremely difficult to do well without the amp getting destroyed. Good luck man

Just don't mount to the box. Its just a bad idea.

X2 to what jay-cee said with the mustang trunks. It was hard to fit anything into the trunk of my 2009 and the openings on the 2010's are even smaller.

ohhhhh water leaks would pisssss me off. and thanks for the support!! but USPS kinda did what i think UPS did with my battery... there was two envelopes of the same size. one on the outside which looked really good BUT it had no shipping label... then i opened it and there was another envelope which was the same size. It had a HUGE rip along one entire side which was tapped up all around the envelope. then the shipping label was on the back on that inner package... i like jay-cee's idea of praising the car audio gods!! hommmmmmm thank-you saint nicholas and scott over at Fi. hommmmmmm thank-you priest Jacob for you boss amps. hope that works... ha

yeah, i just hate the fact that the one thing that is slowing my down is stupid ring terminals...

how do i attach the MDF rings to my car???

just wait. especially to the guy with the 2 BL's coming. if something is wrong with your order, scott or nick WILL contact you. Scott contacted me (through phone call) about my order because their large order of magnets got held up in customs. You'll be fine

can anyone give me a time estimate for this install? the power, rem, rca's, and ground wires for the amp are already run. i need to put in the speakers, crossovers, and run the speaker cables. I want to get it done later tonight but i can't drive my car with no door panel if i don't finish. how long did it take you guys to do it? also, any response on the crossover location question? and i have to install sound deadening on the doors as well!

yeah i'm going to go with resin, i found some in the garage. so anyone, how many rings should i use? just one? or as many as i can fit?

i'll be heading to the hardware today =] sounds like a great idea. thanks!!

oh Jay-cee that is a very very important aspect.. so where else could i mount them if not there?? and i would like to use MDF cause i have some extra laying around.. ha can i just.. wrap it plastic?? or does that not work? something tells me it doesn't. ha but the cutting board material is a great idea! thanks!

okay thats what i thought about the rings.. how many? should i use as many as i can without having the speaker bulge out of the kick panel? and thats what i thought about the tweets, is there any special place they should be pointed? to center of vehicle? center of front seats? left one to driver and right one towards passenger?
