  1. And then no dress clothes Never said there was anything wrong with boots, just that dress boots is an oxymoron. Of course if you go to church near where my wife is from polished work boots, a Vikings shirt, and jeans if ultra clean are considered dress clothes. Ah, I see where the confusion is. I'm not talking about polished work boots; I only wear these particular boots with formal attire. Cheaper and more comfortable than any pair of full brogue oxfords I have come across. If I need to kick some shit, I pull out the Red Wing lace ups. All my construction friends swear by Red Wings or Tims. Danners are the best work boot I've ever found, double the price though. I'll pass that on. They complain that the waterproofing wears out fairly quickly so I think they try to buy cheap since they're replacing them frequently. 300$ for the made in USA Danners, I've worn Ariats, redwings, etc and nothing compares to these for work boots on my feet. Fuckin A. I pay 150 for my standard style 'sneaker' boots. 175 if I want steel toes. Granted mine are a desert sand color and stain easy as hell. Makes me feel better about that. J
  2. No I sure don't guys. I've been making calls through the day and I cannot find shit out. I do know that shit has been fucked up around here recently though. By that I mean.............extra sensitive. Additionally DM and Luke have been sending F-16's down here for fly bys and touch and goes all the damn time. J
  3. How about an array of 2's going up the pillar? Hmmmmm I hadn't considered that. The main goal her is decently loud, clear music. Mainly rock, metal, and some hip hop. J Then the 4" comp set is a huge fail... Then PLEASE guide me in the right direction. I am not opposed to cutting or glassing (rather having someone glass) the door panels. J Space, goals, blah, blah, blah. And I'd be glad to help Right now I am slightly brain dead so figuring space is gonna be a pain, but the door is approx. 50" front to back, 25" tall, and 5" deep at its widest point (its a bow shaped outer door) If my math is right (which it more than likely is not) LxWxD/12 (go from in to ft)= cubic feet so 520 ft cubed. I know this seems off. God help me its been forever since I have used this basic math. The doors will receive a treatment of sound deadener as will the floor, and the firewall. How and what substance I am still un-decided on. The goals will be to have loud clear music. The primary music to be played includes but not limited to Atmosphere, Pink Floyd, Pantera, Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Six Feet Under, and a lot of 80's hair metal (motley crue, warrent, etc). I am not a SQ junkie by any standards, but I do know what muddy music, popping speakers, and flat ranges of the sound spectrum sound like. The 'amping' idea may end up happening depending on how my progress changes. J Your pillars are super slanted which is going to make an array tough. Doors are super off axis and far back which making staging difficult. Loud and full range aren't coincident. I realize that is a lot of can'ts and not really so many can's. That being said when all else fails keep it simple. A large format tweet up in the pillars and a mid-woofer that can play both reasonably low and high could be the ticket. I would also encourage drivers without major anomalies for ease of processing. The Seas ER18 screams to mind. I think Lithium has some HDS tweeters for sale as well that would mate nearly perfect with them. Obviously more cone area on the mid will net you better midbass response, but at the cost of midrange. Keeping it only a 2 way will simplify your work and I am not sure I can visualize how a tweet/mid or array will fit in your pillars. It has been over 10 years since I've been in an F-body though. Oh, btw, divide by 1728 next time (12*12*12) Would some pictures of the interior from my stand point help? Or measurements? I'll get whatever info I need, I just want better than I have now. How expensive are the mids and tweets you suggested? J Pics with a 3" disk up in the pillar for size reference would for sure. Ok I can find a way to make that happen J
  4. Well played J
  5. Fuckin hate being one tool short. J
