lol nice.... screwed adele, missing the chopped lol

That's the thing nowadays, people either can't chop music correctly or get tired of it sometimes so now they just slow it. I admit chopping does get old and annoying especially when it makes a song almost 10 minutes long.

The Adele does sound good.

I dunno, I just liked the way that song sounded. Some chopped and skewed is good, others not so much. 

 

 

Well I thought my window regulator broke or the track system, it randomly popped and the window fell :( Well I guess it was basshead problem. The three nuts holding the regulator on, fell off. Only managed to find two though :( But it's all back up and working. Also Did some work on the rear hatch to make it tighter. I basically spaced the latch off a little bit more. It helped. But not enough. 

 

How it looked when I popped the cover off.

So, I've added more power, quite a bit more. Sound deadener, more bracing internally. Changing my front stage up a little for scrapin too. I've also added some air shocks.  

 

Getting ready for surgery.

Super amazing custom brackets.

Left the rear glass release solenoid release plug off when I put the tailgate back together. So I had to squeeze beside the box. Well I forgot a trim clip on the interior of the truck. I was in too deep before I realized.

The air shocks. They're rated from 25-200psi. Right now I'm sitting at 75ish. Almost perfect level and rides great. I had to pull some wire down but I'll button that up later.

 

New air shocks, old factory bilstiens. Still had some left in them too.

20130615_181756_zps952283f5.jpg

 

It's hard to tell, but I gained almost 3" in this pic. I'll do a proper before and after soon.

Couldn't think of another spot and I didn't feel like drilling.

Yea, we were doing some testing and then mid burp a loud bang from the rear of the truck. I thought I blew an air shock it was so loud. I'd like to see the score with all four in there. 

 

They sound amazing too.

CA glue had nothing to with this. 

 

 

TC sounds had a bunch of the old left over volcano top 3hp's and they machined a ring to fit on them so they could use the threaded top assemblies. The steel on steel glue failed.

Time for them updates!

 

Sooooooooooooooooooo. I got sick of the low output from my current front stage. Finally got off my ass to put these tantric comps in. Which I paid full price for. I would pay full price again too. 

 

 

Passenger door getting cut up.

20130704_165603_zps7d887ea5.jpg

 

Smoothed it out and tried to flatten the mounting surface a little. 

 

20130704_171140_zps415281f1.jpg

 

Test fit.

20130704_171343_zps0e797bff.jpg

 

We'll follow up more on this in a few.

20130704_175016_zps71356e41.jpg

 

Passenger side done for the most part. Had to bore out the hole a little for these tweeters. 

20130704_180729_zpsea188c11.jpg

 

Drivers side time. 

20130704_182208_zpsacab1beb.jpg

 

Smoove. Also as you can see. I filled the gap in with some deadener. 

20130704_190119_zpsb7ae4092.jpg

 

 

Gonna get some stainless screws when I have time. 

20130704_193309_zps3e6bb17c.jpg

 


To help seal the gap more. 

20130704_191336_zps1249d4fe.jpg

 

A little close up. Plus some weather stripping. 

 

20130704_1917360_zpsbba49a2f.jpg

 

That tweeter

20130704_193339_zpsf76ac95e.jpg

 

 

 

 

This is a temp setup too. So I'm not too worried how pretty it is. I'm very very happy with these comps. I know some people won't spend this much, but for 250, they won't disappoint. The tweeter is a tad on the bright side, but I haven't adjusted my EQ to these yet. But they're very detailed with little distortion. The mids are very powerful. They work great in a two way setup. My favorite part, the MIDBASS is amazing! They get low and have perfect punch for mid range. I don't think you'll find another set of comps to out preform these for less than 350 bucks. Really happy :)

They have threads on other forums and their facebook. But I can't tell you more than that since they're not a vendor on here(I think?)

 

Aesthetically appealing and sound great for the price. Definitely happy about the purchase.
