in some countrys they have laws against exploiting little kids to do the work for someone else :P

unless they are getting paid... of course.

Steve, so you like hush mat over all other sound deadening mats? Just wondering what A pro likes

to be honest.....ive used a lot of different brands and this stuff is just like any other brand. I like it but it does what it is supposed to just like the others. It is really sticky and that is a plus-plus :D If it stays (like some brands that didnt exactly "stay") then thats another plus.

so far i really like it and have no complaints!

thanks :D nahh no deadline, its the Hoopty, we got as long as it takes :)

here is the latest....looks like the same stuff but this time its for real and not mocked up any more. Glue, nails, screws.......its in the truck now for good :D

Cant forget to mention the headliner......that thing was a project in itself to replace after pulling it out. Its HUGE, and im all alone here most of the time.

Before i stuck the pieces back in ran the router over the baffles to clean them up some.

These 2 x3's not only make the roof a few inches thicker, it gives me something to attach my middle-chamber-roof piece too :D

each two-by was screwed to the one in front of it until i made it to the end....

i had to cut this one all crazy to go around the rear-A/C stuff. It will be disabled, taped over, and glassed in (so i dont ruin it). I was going to try and use it but i just dont think ill be able to at this point. Its not needed anyway..

The other 2x2's you see are going to help form an exo-skeleton type thing on the outside. Should be SUPER stout when im done with it. Lots of layers of wood and fiberglass coming up soon......ran out of wood tonite though so ill have to go shopping tomorrow after work.

Meade skillz in the building!!

Looking good man, Yall made the deadening thing look like a piece of cake, I'm trying to decide weather or not to pay someone to do it in my mini-van, shoot I just might have to employ my kids..

Sweet inspiration Bro. Keep up the good work and excellent pics.

thanks man.....

i love rockford so much because it is a very solid product and always has been. I support the people that support me so i wear the Rockford and Fi gear as much as hygenicly (*sp) possible.

i dont run RF subs because RF doesnt currently make an 18" sub and the 18's they DID produce in the past could not handle the amount of power i put on them at this point. Im an 18" sub kinda guy and they dont have them so i moved on in that area. Thats fine because in the meantime i found what i was looking for and now theres no looking back :D

To answer your other question, just look at the title of this thread :D

Wow. Just wow. That is all for now. :)

rumor has it i have 8 HEAVY boxes sitting at the pad waiting for me :D I wonder what could be in those. Man im not off till 4 and home till 5, this sucks! :D

since i got your attention here is just a few pics from last nite. This is just the beginning of what will be lots of 2x3's and other bracing BEFORE i glass it up for more strength.

as you can see, it is close quarters in here, very uncomfortable to work in.......well being in the 215lb and up club dont help.
