Jay-C76's 2005 Ranger Install

[indytrucks 1]

MOAR!!! Did you get to listen to it at all?

[Jay-C76 333]

Heck yeah I heard them!!

The whole dang complex heard them!!!

Actually I got the security guard tongue lashing,

"there's old people who live here and they don't like loud music"

I am very VERY impressed by these Icons!

I can't wait till after break in and I can give them

some volume!!

[Thumpper 266]

LMAO...

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

awesome to hear!

[Jay-C76 333]

Mark....

My install is done....

Can I get my sticker now?

I'm trying to plan out my first comp,

and I'd hate to show up naked!!

working on these

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

any updates on this one?

[Jay-C76 333]

Well.......

I got laid off for a little while and that was a kick in the nuts finacially.

With two kids to feed I was geared towards, well, I'll be honest, true panic mode...

I was a little worried about having to start to sell off my material items just to survive..

Long story short,

I'm back at work. (for now)

It's back to trying to chip away at the details.

I want to make the show in Indy this June 19th weekend.

I think it's only a db drag,

which I 'll prob. get slaughtered in.. (I've never competed)

Any words of wisdom from y'all vets would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!

I'll have some new updated pics and hopefully a video up soon.

These Icons are F'n insaine subwoofers!!

I've never heard notes so clear in my life!!!

I need to get my dang windshield fixed badly!!

A sticker might make me feel a little better...LOL

[Jay-C76 333]

More pics I took....

This is where I mounted the Punch EQ

OK...Here's where it's still a work in progress...

Old battery bracket....Allthread looks so tacky...

I have this to replace what's under there.

It's 10ga. polished stainless steel,

I still need to mark and bend up.

This will also be replaced by a new stainless plate instead of plexi.

Still fishing for some advice on the comp thing....

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

pics look great. long over due on the video though lols.

What advice are you looking for?

[Jay-C76 333]

Basically what to expect at a db drag with the set up I have now...

I'm not looking to set any records or anything,

I just don't want to look like a big dumba**....LOL

Any song prefs?? or should like a BassMekanics cd or ?????????

I feel like such an idiot...LOL

Oh well if you don't know......ask and learn right???

bass race

dbrage

or both? what are you gonna be doing?

[Jay-C76 333]

I believe both....

Not sure on the bassrace b/c the website link is goofy and won't work right.

either way....I'm walking into this blind and dumb....

I've only done installs for either fun or friends rides so,

this is taking it to another level I guess..

Well you should get a qualifying run, just do a sweep, find you peak frequency and go from there. Don't get too intimidated, it's really not that big of a deal. It's all in fun.

[Jay-C76 333]

These Icons hit dang near every note...very loudly!!!LOL

It looks like a huge car show more than a car audio thing.

I guess I'll finally get it on the meter.

One other thing sucks......

I lost my remote for my H/U somewhere and I fear for good.

I bet I had it on my lap...got out somewhere...the rest is history....crap!

[Jay-C76 333]

So.... should I just enter the freestyle class???

I'm kinda confused about what class to enter.

not sure what the freestyle class is. I like the dbdrag and bass race is fun. IDk, it's your money.

[Jay-C76 333]

Freestyle - This class is intended for "first-time" contestants only. Typically, there are no rules in this class except that once you win, you must move up into one of the standard classes listed above.

I was reading up on Termpro's dbDRA Rules...

ahh, that sounds way to easy for your truck. lol. Try dbdrag and bassrace, you'll have a great time either way i'm sure.

[Jay-C76 333]

I hope I don't make a fool of myself...

I've got decent equipment....

just no idea what to expect at the show....

[Jay-C76 333]

Uh oh!!!

What am I going to do with this????

I'll post some pics of my idea later tonight.

I have a little work to do....

MAn that looks like a fun truck for sure! I too have never been to any kind of competitions and living here in Indy I wouldn't have a clue as to what to expect or what to play. Are there rules or how to sheets somewhere? A bass race? Db Drags? Which ones can you stay in the car on. I remember going to Iasca events 15 years ago and it seemed they were looking at the quality of the install, which seems more important I would think. HMMMM? i would like to see the truck though!

[Jay-C76 333]

The best info I've found on the rules for each is found on www.soundoff.org

As long as I can get my windshield replaced in time I'll be there...

I'm trying to work as many hours as they'll let me but, my

work has cut hours due to lack of work...

I got off work at 12:30 today so, that puts a damper on the paycheck....

That being said, I had some time to play with the truck today!

A few unfinished pics....

I'm about half way done with this...

I think the finished product will be way more

appealing to the eye.

I hope to light the inside with blue neon,

then replace that with LED in the future.

[mccleery3 166]

Hope you get this done before Slamology so I can take a look at your handywork.

[Jay-C76 333]

This lil' thing will be done tomorrow.

The windshield may be another story....LOL

I'm scaping and saving at this point....
