Replaced my daily driver with a '96 Lumina(my pawpaw car as my son calls it), but I got a good deal and I needed some decent transpo for back and forth to work. Seems everyone in my family has a nice ride but Dad. Oh well, my time will come. Not doing anything crazy here, just some simple tunes to make my commute to work a little more enjoyable. This has been done on the cheap with some simple stuff, but will give the guys my son keeps attracting an idea what they can do without breaking the bank. Some of this install has already started and hope to have it all completed by the end of the week. Beginning pics uploading now...

It would be cool to let your son do the install for you :)

I'd like that, but he has so much stuff going on right now I wouldn't get to enjoy it for months.

Got my subs and enclosure from Don Ganso when he sold his items from this build.
Have wanted some SA-8's since I saw them being used here on the forum.

I used a peice of the 1/0 welding cable that I have for the power feed to the rear and the rest of the Big 3 I used some leftovers from my son's build. Don't want to get to deep into what I've been collecting for the Blazer build. The 150 amp breaker is all I had available at the time to use for fusing, if it holds up ok and if not I'll replace it with something else. So the Big 3 is done and rca's are all run. I'll be getting the amp rack set up tommorow, if time permits.

You have been so good to others and I am really happy to see you doing something selfish for a change. Tuned in for your progress tho I really doubt you and simple will coexist for very long. HaHa


All that said I wanna see that Blazer build go down.

ohjay - We're definitely not calorie counters, 'cause we can't count that high.
onebadmonte: Did you feel it?
denim: Yes, both monitors were shaking bad. I work at a mid-size engineering firm. Funny story, the structural department all stood up and none of us said a word and we all hustled out of the building, the entire electrical, process, mechanical and piping departments were staring at us.
Julian: "Our Structural engineering senses are tingling, quick let the weaker electrical, process, mechanical and piping departments die!"

Simple will have to work for this project, wife has been watching pretty close lately and as you stated I want the Blazer build to go down. And I want it to go down without the BS the wife can dish out when she finds out what I plan to do with it.

Beleive me this will be simple, I just need some tunes and transportation while I focus on the real Sefugi Project. Of course I'm sure I'll be playing with a few other things in the process!
