I hear you on the crap weather thing we're having in Michigan. I was enjoying the 50s then last night we had snow on the ground. WTF! At least its 43 right now which justifies my shorts im wearing (in the house of course haha). The xb looks good though

I have not heard back from this guy so i highly doubt he will be having me build them. i told him that i make simple ported and sealed boxes most of the time but dabble in crazy setups like his on the rare occasion. He asked me what it would cost to have me install: dvd navigation 6 speakers 2 amps all the wiring sound deadening and both boxes I quoted him at $500 not including the cost of the sound deadener or wood for the boxes. he sent me a response saying that i had a very steep price and that i should only ask him for $200. I honestly laughed when he said that to me. I told him to come out to the shop and let me look over his truck and we'll negotiate pricing from there. nothing since then

those are just the bulbs. I've done installs with those style bulbs and ballast mounting before with very little issues. they look great when done.

i looked closer and edited my post. you just beat me to it Shizz.... i failed

one box like that, a different box like this this port is angled inside the box. it starts huge and tapers down. i don't know what sub is going in it either. i'll find out hopefully. Still awaiting a reply from him

carpeting isn't super hard. But i agree, they do make it all look super easy. I wonder how many boxes those two have made before showing us the video.

if he calls me back i will. i told him it'd be $200 for 2 boxes. he's yet to get back to me. its been 24 hours hahaha...

thanks Duran. that helped a lot. this guy did all the calculations and everything himself he said. i just have to cut the pieces and put them together. i'm just going to do as told this one. I'll post up some pictures once its done. I'm just waiting on him to get some money together before i build it for him

well, some guy with a blazer wants me to build one for him. i do simple installs on weekends for some extra spending money. usually just for friends and such but this guy emailed me and wants me to build him this box and another one along with sound deaden his whole Blazer and other stuff. I have no idea what the box will sound like or what it will accomplish. I'd just be interested in why someone would want it done to be honest.

looking real good man. definitely going to have to see/hear this when its done

did it get sold??? kid take it without any problems?

looks impressive. should sound pretty nice when its done

i'm heading to MSU this weekend and Chicago the following so a detour might be involved just to hear some fellow Michigan systems

thats going to be crazy for your durango. i'll be able to hear you bump all the way over on my side of the state

see i like the malibu a lot. but the chevy cruze eco gets 42 on the highway, is larger than the cavalier 2 door i drove (i fit no problem and i'm 6'3") and it has a 6 speed for the "fun" factor as i like to call it. i like sound systems but i'm not necessarily looking for the ground pounder. i'd still throw some large 12 in the trunk ported along with some components up front (maybe Oxygen mids and such if ramrod talks me into it). i'll post up later on what i end up getting. i've been getting a lot more hours with work lately and a pay raise with both jobs. now making $8 even during the week (getting about 20-30 hours weekly) and then $9.50 weekends getting 25 hours. along with going to school, my free time goes to sleep lately haha. of course, that money also goes to paying for current gas prices, living expenses, and repairs ( i just had to get some electrical work done, my rear wiper motor was toast and i couldn't get the replacement to work so i gave in and paid the mechanic). thanks for all your help and such guys

I'm looking to get a new chevy malibu 2LT with the v6 option to replace my 2004 blazer. i'll be commuting to school this fall round trip 60 miles a day for 4 days. in my blazer that would cost me 50 a week not including any extra driving for work or anything else. Does anyone know any problems with them? i can do a car turn in, gm employee discount and get the other typical deals that dealerships offer and pay about $225 a month for 5 years before its mine. any problems with this idea at all? the main reason i'm going with Chevy is because i have never not had an american car let alone a GM. dad worked for gm for 20 years and i would only jump to ford if they did something for the same price thats better. anyone have the measurements of the trunk in a malibu?

it is really funny and interesting with how messed up he is but the problem is that he was putting the lives of his children in danger. Now that he lost the custody of them he can feel free to be the nutcase that he has become.

Thats actually really eye opening to me. i used Raam Mat in my truck and didn't think anything bad of it. The only thing i had to compare it to was my brother's Dynamat Extreme which was really easy to use because of it being in sheets. I'll do some more research for my next car. On top of all the Raam Mat, i have Second Skin MLV and Ensolite which is really nice equipment. Bad Monte, thanks for starting the thread, i just had my eyes opened a little more

well, after more thought, amount of money i'm willing to part with a month (i'm 20, a full time student and working 2 part time jobs). I'm now looking at getting the ford focus or chevy cruze. 40 & 42 mpg highway, manual transmission, all power options, and a nice looking car. all for about 18 grand before incentives. i keep forgetting to look at this thread i made. I'm really leaning towards the cruze because i know i'll get more money off the price than the focu (gm discount, family friend is the saleman, and standing offer of 3500 on my blazer) basically, i want to go back to a car with trunk so i can get mpg seeing as how i drive to MSU every other weekend to see my girlfriend, drive about 20 miles daily to work every weekend, and the security aspect of having amps and subs hidden in the trunk.

love the black out look of your truck and i'm not even a dodge fan... Still loving everything about it

looks like you'll have a lot of fun with this. if you need help, i'm off class from March 14-18 and done mid may

i was wondering where his 3000 went. good to know it stayed in michigan. good luck with the new build. tuned in to see what comes of the back seat

that sucks to hear about your car and such man. hopefully the shop who built your box wrong the first time isn't charging you to build it again. looks like you had a lot of fun though

nice little stock pile you have there

looks really nice. extended cab?
