  1. Ran speaker wires to the doors, finished the plates for the openings over the amps and as previously mentioned the rest of the wiring is in place. Now I just need to install the false floor/amp rack and tune everything in! Then it's time for the subwoofer enclosure.

  2. The amp rack is ready to go into the Traverse and the wires have been ran. Woohoo progress!

      Can't wait to see the finished project. Better yet hear it!

  3. Gotta love the smell of contact cement in the middle of the night, lol. Getting the carpet glued down to the false floor/amp rack cover.

  4. The car show was a great time!! I was only one of two vehicles with any audio tho.

  5. WooHoo!! Just picked up a BNIB Sundown SA-15 for under $150!

  6. The DCON's arrived! They're such great little subs, It's a shame they're not more popular than they are.

  7. WOOHOO!! Just got the word the DCON's for the Traverse will be shipping out soon!!

  8. The Mach5 MLI's and FR88's are working beautifully. I'm really glad I jumped on those two opportunities.

      Absolutely. My fabricating concentration is on the Traverse right now. Once that's completed I'll turn my attention back to the Jimmy and getting the 8" SLS's and permanent installation of the full ranges completed.

      I love my 89's + AA Carbon combo.

      I can imagine. I can't wait to get my FR89's in the permanent install. Was there a noticeable difference between the FR88's and 89's?

  9. It's officially been over a month (counting from date of order, not business days) and I'm REALLY getting excited at the prospect of the new DCON's arriving soon!!!

      A new system to go along with it?

    3. altoncustomtech

      altoncustomtech

      Yes it's getting a new system.

  11. Transmission for the Jimmy arrived yesterday! Now I'm just waiting for an opening at the mechanic so that I can get it back on the road. He should have an opening for me the first of next week and in the mean time I need to put all the interior back together from where I had it apart running the wires for all the active capability.

  12. Woohoo!! Just got the new trans for the Jimmy ordered!

  13. I'm truly loving the sound from the Jimmy now. On to ordering the materials I need to finish this installation!!

  14. Someone really needs to stop the Prarromia bot from spamming up the forum anymore. Additionally, what can we do to bot proof the forum some more? I'll do what I can to help!

      The vendor fees and the few people doing memberships, those funds all help go to it. Just a matter of having the hours in the day, because once we upgrade SSA, we have to do it to AA, CA-F, CAR and HAF.

      Should have contacted me to "attempt" another failed group buy for baltic. I could of sold you 5x5ft sheets for $45 per sheet if we get enough people involved. We typically need about 35 sheets worth

      Make sure you stain it first.

      I would hate to spend that much money on wood and have moisture destroy it.

      Planned on coating it with resin, then smoothing that down and putting on body filler for a perfectly flat and smooth surface, then applying bedliner. Moisture shouldn't be an issue.
