Chop's build log

[porkchop 304]

you can see my new pioneers that mikey gave me located toward the top of the door....

i took this pic for the tint comparison, but the other pic of my doors is some where in outterspace....

the door speakers gift are a nice way of saying that mike should give me the 10 bucks back for the ones he sold me....they are trash! (not mikey)

[porkchop 304]

far from done still but i think i will be done until perhaps this weekend or maybe the following weekend more realistically....

currently,

disapointed....

thinking that some of it may reflect on my inability to get the head unit and amplifier set up the way i would like as well as find the right set of songs to play on it....

not sure that it is as loud as i would like it to be or perhaps as powerfull...

i have heard it louder..... so i know the potential is there...

looking it all over and trying to find where my issues are, if there are any.

hmmmmmm, ol' chop is stumped at the moment....

WOW..... it's been too long since I've been on here with enough time to browse.... Chop the truck looks like it's coming along great! Hope to make it up for slamology and see it in person......

[mccleery3 166]

Damn bro, that sucks

[DD9915D!!! 5]

i could see 2 boxes in the next 6 days at your current luck, pace, skill, schedule, or whatever the scheme of things might be that particular day .....lol

[porkchop 304]

played with a few of the eq settings and found some sound!

in which created some vibration on the back glass cover(mdf) so need to isolate that and deaden it out......

that and the doorpanel guts seem to be quite noisey still yet.....

body man said the door poppers will be about $50 each, plus his labor to shave them down and have it finished in primer,

still working on that price.....

might try to flip the tailgate handle on my own? not sure yet.....

chuck, how do i attatch a ipod to this HU?

[porkchop 304]

WOW..... it's been too long since I've been on here with enough time to browse.... Chop the truck looks like it's coming along great! Hope to make it up for slamology and see it in person......

[porkchop 304]
