Just got back from a short trip to Wyoming. Man, is it fucking GORGEOUS out there.

Life has definitely changed for all of us since COVID started. A little update on my side, the new job is going well, waiting for the 4-month mark to start the process of hiring full-time. The HR system is soooo backed up, we expect it to start the actual process in May and have it all wrapped up by June. Working from home has allowed for many luxuries, time with family, family lunches outside, washing cars with kids in the middle of the day. I was worried about my social needs, but I've just switched the people I interact with. It opened up the door to help me focus some of my dad's money in real estate, so now we are in the process of buying a house and converting it into a short-term rental in a hot little market where my wife grew up. Overall, life's been good! Hopefully, I can get some things going and start carving out more time for some side projects.

Fun story, we ended up with a 2019 Expedition Limited for a crazy low price ($30,000). I knew the cam phasers were probably wearing out, but at that price I could eat $4000 in repairs and still be ahead. 1 week later the check engine light comes on. Cam codes and cat converter. I take to the dealer (who had a 3 month 3K mile warranty on it). Turns out it needs the cam phasers and the catalytic converter replaced. Total price is about 5K. They are currently sending it down to there Ford dealer to perform the work. So it looks like it’s all going to work out. Only downside is I’m paying on a vehicle I can’t actually use at the moment.

The only driver I could personally recommend would be the Gcon. There are hundreds on the market, but I like to stick with SSA.

So I've heard. Waiting word back on a position in Montana and moving on to the next step. They make it sound like they want to fly me out there for a visit, so I'm awaiting the decision, and hopeful. I'd love to visit out there, and possibly relocate myself. Getting insane down here. J

DM1600.1 and ZC6000.1 just launched on the SSA Store.

We just launched a ZC6000.1 & DM1600.1 to go with the new DM150.6, DM100.4, DM150.2.

I need to sell my Rockfords so I can get some more amps. Think I may try to unload the XXX too even though I said I never would.

Yes I would collapse it for sure, no point in keeping it the way it is if there is no recent content or traffic. Just my .02

Some daytime pictures of the new voltmeter placement

This light is so bright it's hard to get decent pictures with them on but it came out dope

These next photos were before I put some work into the car because of my OCD, hated the excess wire I had goin into my DSP. So I untaped it and cut the three excess wires for a cleaner install. I also made the Sundown Salt-4k remote wire smaller since it the connectors on these Audio Control doesn't accept big gauge speaker wire well, especially with thick wire jackets.

Insane for real and it still needs to be tuned and set up, just got done detailing the whole interior of the car. Sweated my ass off in this 95 degree plus night. Some pictures from earlier before I detailed her. When I get time and it dialed in, I'll post some videos of the front stage. I'm already planning on upgrading the subwoofer amp and maybe go to two beastly 12s. Need to meet up with my box builder and talk numbers. But the sub decision might not be till next year though. Stay tuned

I was in Sheridan and Big Horn National Forest.

I'll be headed up to Colorado for a week, on the south side of Denver. Looking forward to escaping the heat and getting in some hikes!

I’m honestly 6 month in to a work from home job with a low end chair my wife still has from college. Lol My wife uses a medicine ball mostly. I’d be interested to hear options as well!

What do we have here?

I think the 5 channel would sell in comparison to the 6. I was thinking about the channel, but I just want that extra oomph!

So far it seems that I have eliminated the basic rattles inside the car. The rear over head light console should be quiet now. I added one layer of Soundskins speaker foam ring dampening. If you look closely between the black squashed dampening, you will see a black plastic trim piece that is attached the top side of the headliner. That was smacking against the roof of the car. This deadener is about 1 inch thick give or take and thickness is perfect, I had to jam it in there but it works great.

I’ve recently picked up a 2021 VW Arteon SEL-P RLine with the Harmon Kardon in it. Low end lacks a lot, so I’m looking for a way to integrate a better sub setup. Again, great work!

Light show at night time

Yes sir, no point on rushing it all. I also added some wire tie down clamps and covered them in amazing goop as well. Wires were ziptied together as well. I love amazing goop.

We'll forgive you as long as you send each of us a complimentary Icon.

I need to have a beer with you and talk. I literally don't have any idea what bitcoin even is. I am a bit tongue in cheek there, but I can't invest in something I don't understand.
