I don't think I'd ever be able to buy a pretty nice looking van like that and just tear it apart and fuck it all up for a stereo. I mean that in the most complimentary way possible too. I look forward to the progress.

Yeah so far it seems like a great amp. My options were pretty limited since I wanted 2000 watts RMS at 2 ohm. I'd say I'm satisfied. The gain is way down and I can't turn it up without the voltage hitting 12.1 - 12.4, but I can already tell it hits a lot harder and sounds better than the Hifonics that was in there. I'll probably have to go ahead and buy the alternator from Bigrank. I just have to wait for the money situation to catch up. I've been spending as much as I take in for a month straight now and on top of that uncle sam got a little more from me than I was planning on last week. Trying to put money into two project cars and a stereo is a bad idea.

I got just the thing that might help you out... And yes, that was a STEAL for $1600! Funny story is we were talking about your alternator tonight and I thought it was sold based on the pm's exchanged with that last guy. PM him, he's interested. Thanks, wife.

The new amp is too much for my electrical system, it's really annoying to have all this power and I'm not able to use it.

It's coming along slowly. Should have the amp next week, then we'll get it decently cleaned up then I have to figure out what I want to do for midbass. For what it is I think it sounds pretty good so far, but I'm not planning to go too crazy on this since I'm also trying to finish my other car which needs a lot more money. Business has been pretty slow lately (self employment FTL) but it will get there sooner or later.

Thats what I had in mind.

You guys should know by now I don't skimp on the photos. besides I don't think most people even read, haha. Pics really help, words mean shit to me.

Audiobahn AW1200 is the baddest sub I've ever seen. I hit 163.2 with mine on 500watts the other day.

Yeah, that was my whole plan, I can sand and putty anything to perfection. It's a lot easier than learning to measure, I mean, I'm not Stephen Hawking. Truck was a good deal, lucky for me some poor guy died and his wife traded the truck in for a new Hyundai. The Hyundai store took it to an auction where I got it, normally when I get a deal like that I never keep it but I had been looking for a clean 3/4 ton big block TBI truck for quite some time. It's good to have around but I hate to keep it considering it's a $4000 truck around here. Also, I'll most likely be ordering a sub amp this week, looks like the Alpine MRP-M2000 wins. Once I get a little further along I'll post some better looking pictures.

Yeah, I'll keep posting pics as time progresses, I have to as the pics I have up now are pretty embarrassing.

Yeah, it's kind of a mess right now, but didn't want to spend too much time considering the amp is temporary, I'll post more pics as we go through and change some things. I think the box came out pretty decent considering we aren't pros. What they look like from the backseat. Still plenty of cargo space. Another shot. Stinger voltmeter, taped up part of it since it's so damn bright at night. The headunit with my fancy thumb drive in it's custom mounting spot. Notice the old remote start laying on the floor. It doesn't work and I don't have the motivation to start cutting wires just yet. The truck, little bit of rust but pretty decent for $1600. Sooner or later I'm going to carpet the box, or spray it, I don't know yet and add another baffle so it looks a little nicer. There it is, nothing crazy but it seems to do the trick.

Good old fashioned wood glue is all you need.

Got it all in last night, sounds pretty good, although I'm not sure I'm sold on the tuning that low. Just have to wait and see what changes once they get a little more broken in. I am looking forward to giving the subs the power they need though. Like an idiot I didn't take a single picture, but I'll get some tonight once I clean the truck out, it's full of shit right now.

Fancy.

I am also from Minnesota.

We were going to get it in the truck last night but I was so sick I wouldn't have been able to lift up one side of the box. When we started last night working I had a little cold, but it quickly progressed, oh well, maybe I'll die. Just sent some money for a Deka 9a31 so that should help. I'm still undecided what sub amp I'll end up with, the Hifonics is only temporary.

Haha, not really, but it's interesting to me. This site needs more Z15 build logs though so I guess I'm happy to facilitate.

I just got an Eclipse CD5030, I was pretty split on what to get, almost went the Alpine route but figured I've never had an Eclipse. I'm consider myself satisfied with the features of the Eclipse.

You're drunk more often than I'm sober.

I'll be running a pair of Z15's, I guess I listen to mostly rap, but I spend about half of my listening experience listening to virtually any other genre. Just looking for suggestions on what about I should tune the box to. I was thinking about 33hz, but now find myself second guessing as it comes closer to box building time. Thoughts/inputs/insults?

Free Festiva? What a deal. Super Blues kick ass for $20 apiece.

It's true, almost everything I say is out of sheer spite and jealousy. No one gains any points with me using a disability as a crutch.

I would plan on getting a job first.

I built a sandwich last night, basically, I took two pieces of bread, meat and cheese, I modified the bread to accept items between the two slices, that is where I placed the meat and cheese. I'd post pics but it's out in the shed.
