Well I just got a text guaranteeing that he will ship by Tuesday. So there is still hope! If not I'm filing a claim Wednesday.

[ricksi30 923]

It also sucks because now I've had to wait to order from SSA.

Sorry about your luck man. Hope you get this going soon. I like the comp set!

[ricksi30 923]

Thanks! It'll work out one way or another. I really like the comps, haven't spent THAT much time listening to them but so far so good.

Hey, those aren't Gcons! Where is their enclosure? Can your rear seats not fold down; why do you have to port through the rear deck?

Hey, those aren't Gcons! Where is their enclosure? Can your rear seats not fold down; why do you have to port through the rear deck?

Yeah I was able to make a few good trades and wound up with two XCONs! My seats do not fold down, so I am going to make something custom to where I can fold them up and down. I was only going to port through the rear deck if I ended up with 15's. The two XCON 12's will fire into the cabin as well as the port.

I have one 12 in the trunk now in a box that I had laying around on ~900 watts and I am very happy. I haven't run two 12's in my car in a long time and I'm excited. I can't wait until I get the time to finish the enclosure for the two of them.

Thanks for the interest man! My build is kind of on hold as someone stole my tweeters and my head unit went out on me. I'm working on getting some replacement tweeters, and will probably be getting a pioneer 80prs. I have most of the wood cut for my enclosure, but lost the drive to finish because I don't even have a head unit. I should be back up and running pretty soon.

sorry to haer that i hate thieves cant wait to see more of this build dont let those thieves get you down

[ricksi30 923]

Alright I've purchased a few things and am getting a bit closer to moving this build along. I ordered a Ppi Black Ice 1300.1 for the XCON's, and a Black Ice 800.4 for my front stage. Still trying to decide on some new tweeters (with some much needed help from Sean). My head unit came a few days ago...

Yeah he isn't a fan of the hat but he is a good sport.

Thanks man! I should get some work done this week.

[ricksi30 923]

A few install items from Monoprice. FAST shipping, I ordered Sunday night and received it early this morning. The product also looks great.

[Mtopper 23]

love my monoprice rcas and the price can't be beat. good choice man. how does the speaker wire look/compare?

[pmureika 31]

I like what I see . Keep the pics coming.

[jcarter1885 995]

I like their RCAs but don't care for the speaker wire, bad corrosion problems between jacket and copper.
