I'm going to have to come back when I get home and take a look at said dream woman.

She will look pretty on the 28" monitor.

4 SURE!

Ryan or Kent, do either of you do any aluminum welding?

My bro-in-law does. Stainless welder by trade, but whacked together my outdrive when a tree fell on it.

think he could notch a cast-AL oil pan?

Probably, but he would need some instruction. If it were stainless he could do it in his sleep.

the second post here explains what needs to be done: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=472609

I have many months to figure this out so no rush at all. If he thinks he can do it though, I'll get a pan out to you/him.

Out of curiosity what does Street & Performance charge to do it? Brian charges $40/hr for side work but I can surely run it by him and see if I can minimize any expense.

I can't find an actual price on their site (what a mess) but I've heard it's in the $500 range, but that includes the pan. If I could find the dimensions of the LH8 pan and make sure that it's not too deep, then I could just go that route and not have to worry about notching one.

I have really dug around in my kicks, and I have a crap ton of room. I have decided no door speakers, at all.

give me a quick snap shot of the best for midbass sq and output in an active 2 way set up, and can fit in a kick but NOT IB in door.

Put in a little plug for SSA at Ls1truck. They want an audio forum but the mods say they prefer to leave it just LSx based discussion so I told them they should check us out

Matching with what tweeter? Big difference if you get something that can play really low, or perhaps go with a midrange that can play high and low so the midbass doesn't do much other than midbass. Also, can you vent it into the fenders or something to make it near IB or Aperiodic? If it is sealed and has to be that way how much space do you have for the enclosure?

Thinking of putting a simple setup in the Cadillac, something like a 5ch amp, 2-way active front stage, and a single sub. I was kinda looking at the Alpine PDX-5 amp, anyone have experience with them or can recommend a good 5+ch amp for a good price?

Managed a 145.7 during testing today (1.3 over the last competition). Need to go a bit higher in tuning :)

Pics a bit later.

Day or so had passed when I popped the clutch, gave the tranny a spin and slid on into The Stinky Pinky Gulp N' Guzzle Big Rig Snooze-A-Stop

There I was browsin' through the latest issue of "Throb", when I saw Bambi starin' at me from the back of a milk carton

Well, my heart just dropped; so, I decided to do what any good Christian would

You can not imagine how difficult it is to hold a half gallon of moo juice and polish the one-eyed gopher when your doin' seventy-five in an eighteen-wheeler

I never thought missing children could be so sexy

Did I say that out loud?

The $500 was for a new pan, I'd call to ask them what notching the stock is. It would give you a baseline to laugh at if it is absurd anyways :)
