thanks everyone, just got my car back today, everything is fixed except for the body work which starts monday, so by the end of next week she should be lookin brand new!! after body work the new box will be installed and you know ill have pics updated daily!!, ill try tomorrow to get some carnage pics of the right side of my car lol

Thursday night i feel asleep at the wheel in my monte carlo ss (sober) on the way to see my mom and work on my car and ended up smashing a guard rail doing about 60mph and did alot of damage, pics to come... been laid up in bed with whiplash. I wear my seat belt 99.9% of the time...except for this night all audio equipment is fine and my car should be fixed by the end of this week, then the new wall goes in !!

new box should be finished in the next 20- 30 days. will keep pics posted as progress continues

I loved my single 12" W7 with the H.O. vented box and the jL 1000/1 amp made about 142 db and sounded great so i have nothing bad to say about the W7 Now i have 4 FI BTL N2 15"s with two sundown 4500's and 6 14v batts etc.. You should be very pleased with your purchase.

sweet yep also taking buds idea and doing all 4 15's on one side and the port on the other side behind the drivers seat, still deciding on the port. Thanks for grabbin my trophy man, just please don't lose it in your pile of trophy's laying everywhere haha congrats to Farriswheel for winning 1st place in MOD 2 with a 150.3 with on 18!! thats sick man you deserve it!! just looked at the meca homepage and im on the picture taken from Casper with my back turned to the camera..figures haha new box on the way

well that was the entire game plan since day one, once everything was in i tried to call Bud at least 5 times that week and never got an answer or a call back so i figured either he was to busy or didn't wanna do it anymore and i didn't wanna blow his phone up so i quit calling him. We talked at Casper about the whole situation i guess he thought i was mad or something but i wasn't what so ever, he said i should have left a message but i never leave voice mails, but here is the deal... all last summer i was on his team (Bangin on a Budget) and i learned alot from him, i think he most def knows all the in's and out's of building what i needed but he just quit calling me all together so i had to have someone else build it. congrats to Bud for winning Loudest in Louisville Friday night. ("Ive got a letter for you and its really loud " haha you know what that means if you seen his van,i have great pics of it but im sure he doesn't want them posted on here.

Nope, im not paying them a penny more, they offered to rebuild the entire box for free so im not gunna blast the name of the shop on here but it sucks because i put everything together the last 3 months for that one day.... there are plenty more shows this year but nothing like Carl Casper.

ya i made it there... but just barely lol before we left for Louisville we did some testing and in the process the front of my box just exploded apart.. so i pull up to Casper with a busted up wall that im holding up with one arm the entire way there, I get pushed inside(because u cant have the car on) pay the $100 entry fee to do both spl and park and pound. At this point im not even sure if im going to even be ready to compete, so i pull everything out on the floor and line all the subs by the car as people are walking by met a few really cool guys from team IAK, had alot of help from team LOCO finally got everything in turns out the box which i payed a local guy to make was no where near as strong as it needed to be nor was it even built the right way what so ever... it looked good but with that much power i should have had a much much higher score. ended up with a 146.0 db in m4(which is terrible) and a 128.9db in db4 park and pound(drive by spl) which is still terrible considering what it should have been. I placed 4th in db4 so i dident qualify for Sunday. I was so upset over everything that i dident even go Sunday to watch the finals, so turns out i get a text message saying one of the guys in db4 was disqualified for whatever reason and they called my name to run so i would have placed third if i had went Sunday. I still had a great time and the highlight of the night for me was watching the hydraulic competition and watching all the cars pretty much blow up and shoot sparks everywhere. I must have seen about $50,000 go up in smoke. most impressive part of the night was watching Hank and those 48 10"s slam and shake the entire building during his park and pound run. So to end this update my car goes back in the shop either Tuesday or Wednesday and the box will be completely rebuilt and i will share all the updates. sorry no videos but here are sum pics that i took,

srry im replying to an old post, just wanted everyone to see what was just finished up yesterday!! more pics in the build log section "Monte Carlo ss wall build"

thanks everyone, im keeping the passenger seat out for Casper bc i will be in M4 class so its not needed lol Hell, i may just keep the passenger seat out for a few weeks. as for videos i will have my cam at casper tomorrow so that will be my first video that i post up.

thanks man, im looking forward to seeing everyone at Carl Casper this weekend in Louisville KY

haha thanks man, ive been stressing myself out over this car ALOT over the last 3 months!

Honestly.. this is the cleanest build log i have seen on SSA your car looks amazing, quick question for ya, with all of the added weight have you done anything to the rear suspension or braking system? The reason i ask is because i have added appx 800lbs into my Monte Carlo SS and im having a weight issue, i dunno i guess i will have to put on adjustable struts and new springs to solve the problem. Just wanna know what your thoughts are on this.

Looks like everything should be finished by Friday!! I will be at Carl Casper after all
