    I was actually interested in the iso setup on the VERY FIRST post, the one you guys have in your rides.smile.gif

    The triso is cool also though, I could only imagine that alot of modeling go's into building one of the triso setups. I seen a stroker for the first time the other day also, it was cool TOO, as I LOVE Nostalgic items.biggrin.gif

    Yea thats a 10" iso-kit. We should be able to reproduce those a little later in the year! or you might can talk sq_mgb out of one of the FIFTY hes got!

    I don't have that many....yet.;) I do have the drivers to make at least 8 Triso's! :ohnoes9:

    And J-Road....if you ever want to try a Stroker, let me know. I have a couple of 12's and a 15 NIB. :woot:

    Sorry to hear about the snow.....I HATE working in the cold. Progress looks good, be sure to let us know soon as to the effectiveness of the LLP. That's the next step in my truck is to put something like LLP over the back wall, the floor and doors (IF I can squeeze it between the panel and the door skin now). My truck is sort of quiet, but I know there's LOTS of room for improvement. I'm following this closely.......

    So get back to work and get those midbasses in the doors! :popcorn::drink40:

    Here ya go J-Road....this is one I was going to put in my truck. I didn't use it because it was too tall after I got the thing together and since the new drivers couldn't be used this way we (I) decided to scrap it.

    The 8's see roughly .66-.70cu. ft. each and the space between the 10 and the 8's is as small as possible. If you look close, you will see that there is only ONE way the drivers will go in the box. Hope that's what you were looking for! :drink40:

    On the subject of Triso boxes....how many would you like to build? ;)

    Talk to Mike, he's the one with the crazy idea (like you) of building a tri-so wall. :trippy: Get a camper shell/snugtop for your truck and a good case of metal mites. :drink40:Maybe TJ should do that instead of all those 15's he's planning on. :ohnoes9:

    Actually Chris Underwood had the idea of an "ISO-TRISO" wall.....basicly instead of using 2 eights and a 10 you would use 4eights and 2 tens with all the speakers in an iso formation!!!!! Fs would be somewhere below 20hz and would only need a cubic foot of air! And yall call me the crazy one! I probably dont need to mention the power handling capabilities(i mean its six motor structures driving one enclosure) Gives a whole new meaning to 6appeal huh johnny!

    Mike....think we can talk TJ out of 4 cu.ft. of air? We have the technology.....we can rebuild him....better, stronger, faster....

    Yea, I think Ray has a couple of factory Trisoberic Boxes left.

    I wish I could get one or two for my home theatre system ... We tried them out when we were building my truck, they sounded amazing!!! My truck was running out of battery power too fast.

    I wanted the trisos in my truck, but the ISO-kits just "looked cooler" to me.

    6APPEAL, I think the double triso box needs to come out of retirement(along with the Grand National)!! :drink40:

    I have one of those factory Tri-Sobaric boxes. It will be the sub in another room's small system I'm putting together. A Tri-So's would look really cool if the front is done with some 1" plexi for the box front with some led lighting. Rich and I have talked about doing this.

    The dual Tri-So will probably stay put in the home theather. Jimmy and I are cooking up some sick ideas for the sub stage in the GN. So, that means the GN is coming out of retirement, but the $6000 estimate for paint has put a crimp in the plans. Working on getting a spare mostly stock motor/trans in it now.

    You can always send that motor and trans to me and we can put it in the MGB! :ohnoes9: Of course, the body would probably twist in two from the torque....oh well.....I guess I'll have to be satisfied with my 0-60 time measured by a CALENDAR!

    Hey guys! Just reading all the posts about Blues and ill say this-I wouldnt have any other sq speaker on the market in my car. Ive delt with Blues Linear Power and Ray since i could drive! Both Randall and Rich are friends of mine(and if they dont mind me saying ive been involved with both their vehicles) and they both display the product well. Congrats to Rich on his firsts this weekend.

    Thanks Mike! I appreciate all the advice you've (along with Ray) given me on how to build this thing, I just wish I lived closer!

    Looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend in Hot Springs, hopefully I can continue to do well. Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve with some of the builds coming up! Mike Darville gave me some really good advice in Kansas City and did his best to educate me on things to listen for and how to make my truck sound better. I just hope I can convey the gratitude I have for all the help I've received and I hope I haven't left anyone out that's helped me through this install.

    Thanks everyone for all the help and well wishes, see ya at the shows! :drink40:

    Thanks guys....I appreciate all the positive comments. I was at Fordyce and showed the truck to several people, I just wish I would have had it all dialed in. Due to a pinched wire (my crappy, rushed install) I lost a preamp the Monday before the show. I changed it out for my spare that isn't matched for left/right balance or my head unit output voltage so I wasn't as good as I could have been, but it was ok.

    I still have to get the speaker angles right, but that's just time spent over many days coming. As M5 said, the dash is not my friend and he's right. Changes in angle that I can't see make a difference in the stage and image. It's just going to take more time to get it right.

    Thanks again everyone for all the well wishes, it makes all the time and effort worth it.

    Now that is one sexy speaker! More pics! More pics! Did I say more pics??? Can't wait to see them installed...warn me before you crank those bad boys up, I want earplugs!

    I'm sure you'll have them installed in no time, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep up the great work!

    We've been asking that same thing for years now....nine 18's in an astro van came pretty close...it was loud and musical at the same time, but I can't remember how it staged and imaged. Tonally it was very accurate, and it shook everything around it at the turn of a knob!

    I'll try to get pics of it from Ray when I go back down again. I think you'll like it.

    Yes, it is your best install. But, it has been a PITA to keep you on track. Like I said earlier, it's taken all 3 of us (Ray, Jimmy and me) to keep you on track. I think that there were even some threats of butt kickin if you changed to one of your off the wall ideas. Hello :wavey5: , if you lived here, you would have a lot more help! I had to get that jab in. How many years have we been helping each other on installs or just stuff? Helpin out ain't nothing but a thang. :drink40:

    I think there were multiple threats of butt kickin' :fryingpan: during this install both from you guys and Kim if I didn't stay on track. She has pretty much kept me going on it when I felt like just saying to heck with it. It has been a long line of cars we've helped each other out on brother. First install we worked on was on the 86 Cavilier....and it's all yours and Ronnie's fault for getting me into this stuff! That Kicker 2x10 and the 1752 in Ronnie's car was the beginning of the end for me. Then your gold Regal got a bad case of metal mites and all the sheet metal got these huge holes in them just waiting for speakers to fill them up! :fing34: Good times there.

    I just hope ALL you guys know how much I appreciate all the help you gave me on the build, both physically AND mentally, and I'm grateful to have friends like you. :jump:

    Thanks a million!!!! :drink40:

    Hey Jay-cee...a video won't show much as far as sq goes and I don't know if I can shake the truck enough to tell on video with just the 6's, but I guess I'll have to borrow a video camera and find out. With the sub on I might make something move enough to see, I'll just have to try.

    John, did you know Ray is bringing the Lightning out of retirement?

    OldSkool_08...thanks for the compliment on the install, it's by far the best one I've ever done as 6APPEAL can tell you, but also the most time consuming. I learned how to do most of the tricks I used in this install from Jimmy Walker, along with hours of reading how-to's on the web. I have to give Jimmy the credit for "teaching the young grasshopper" how to do what I call "pretty work." Most of my other installs were just a board with carpet on it, this was my first attempt at a real install to take to shows. If you look at it close you can see my noobness at upholstery, but at least I gave it a shot!

    I appreciate all the kind words from everyone, it makes all the time and effort I put into this install worthwhile, and I appreciate all the help I got from Ray and John and everyone else who was involved. Did I leave anyone out?Not a clue! ;)

    They will play low, I've played 30Hz tones through them and as long as I don't get too crazy with the knob, they will shake the truck. They won't shake it as hard as a subwoofer will at that frequency, but they will make you wonder how high the sub level is, and freak you out when you find out it's not on.

    The main thing about these is they have very good detail in the midrange as well as the ability to get low when required. And it's a very easy load for the amp to drive as it's almost a dead flat impedence curve from top to bottom. Once the drivers are available to everyone, the website will be updated with all the specs.

    I think there's a show around the Memphis area coming up and I'm going to try to make that one. If you see a black chevy truck with Missouri plates just ask and I would be happy to let you listen to it. I would appreciate hearing someone's opinion from outside our circle. Thanks again for the kind words.
