Haven't checked in for a while. Looking great. Yall do amazing work. Such attention to detail. I just don't have the patience for such in depth work. Props.

Thanks for the comments and Thanks for the props. I have always tried to do clean work and it has taken a long time to learn not to get in a hurry.

Looks great. Lovin the 3 way components

Thanks!! The 3-ways were picked out by my son ( I think he was intrigued by the blue cones). I think they will sound good once we get the car put together more and can spend some time making some adjustments.

I love all the attention to details. Too many builds are just thrown together and look horrible. I'm very detail oriented so I understand how hard they work your doing is and why it's taking the time it has. It's also cool that you have tackled work you've never done before. Most guys just say I don't know how and never try for fear of failing. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments. I have always loved a challenge, painting the car has I think been my biggest so far (something I have never done) and think I don't really want to do again. It is a lot of preparation and very time consuming. I did have some issues through the paint process, but I feel the overall product at least paint wise has turned out good. Thanks!

Long Story......short version-2-Kinetik HC600's buried under amp rack. Did not have isolated from front. Had a draw and killed them. They will not charge back up. Talked to tech support and getting it handled but have to wait for the processing time. Volts dip Looooow if we try to bang on it. Sucks cause now we are ready to use them and they are DRT.

Sounds like their the perfect size company, not hard to contact as some smaller companies, but not so big that their CS goes to shit. Hope everything gets sorted out. This car is going to be ridiculously awesome when it's finished and playing some tunes!

What happened on the cutouts for the midbasses in the doors? You've got to figure out some way to make the grills not see-thru so those ragged cuts don't catch the eye so much. They really detract from an otherwise incredibly clean install. Maybe some grill cloth on the back of the grill?

What part of town? I grew up in P'cola, went to pilot training there and my family is still there. You originally from that area?
