thanks man...that's kind of what I was thinking. Or that triangular piece up by where the a-pillar is kind of. Did you have trouble fitting 6.5's in the stock location or whatever size mid you went with?

update: sax 100.2, knu ss karma rca's and speaker wire, Fi bl 10, and raam mat all should be arriving on Monday. Now I just need to get damn audiosavings.com to send me my P.G. rsd 6.5'' that I ordered on the 4th. They said they were celebrating their holdiday of Savuot? and were out of the office for a few days. Hopefully I will get them sometime next week and I can't start installing everything on the 21st.

here's a picture my buddy's girlfriend took from her window last saturday of the tornado that hit just south and east of chicago. Missed my house by a few miles, thank god!

I hate to get off topic but I see that you're from St. Louis. I lived in Alton, IL for two years and played baseball at a JC there. Is that close to you at all?

haha I know, I hate to keep bringing them up but I've spent all the money I've made so far this summer on a 10''bl, 100.2, raam, pg rsd 6.5'', knu wires, kicker hyperflex, and I'm broke as hell now. I need to get my 1500d soon so I could use the $150 bad.

I had the older 8 inch version and they sounded good sealed. I've only heard the 12's in a demo room in an audio shop so I couldn't really get a good evaluation. You should buy my Kappa Perfects that I'm selling instead though, haha.

that is awesome work....it looks factory, besides the two beasts that are in there.

Where do you get those baffles? are they made of abs? i'm trying to fit 6.5's in a ford door as well and I don't want to use the extra 3/4'' mdf I have left over, too thick.

Orange '70's vinyl deserves a avacodo color refridgerator to make the perfect retro match..... Haha we have one in our garage that we use as a beer fridge!

yeah he probably quit coming around a few days ago

What is your budget? I have (2) 12'' Infinity Kappa Perfects for sale for $150. You could wire them for 2 ohms off a 1500 with the gains set responsibly.

Nevermind, I answered my own question. Might as well get the floor first since I'm going to have the seats and carpet out anyways for when I run the new wire. It'll be easier to get at the back wall later on than it would be to get at the floor.

I've recently started buying all the equipment for my build and I just wanted to thank Jacob at Sundown, Nick at Fi, and Rick at Raam for the unbelievable customer service and response to all my questions. If you are ever torn between a product from another company and one of these guys, you would have to be crazy to go with someone other than them. Check out this email Rick sent me after I ordered an extra item that I didn't need. >> Thanks Kevin, got the order, will ship out in a few hours:) Just to >> make sure, you do not need the glue for the RAAMmat, only for the >> ensolite which is an incredibly good product, far better than every >> other foam I have ever tried over many years doing this;) >> >> Have a great day! >> Rick And here is another one: > Kevin, > You are most welcome buddy and thanks:) > > Here are a few things about how I do business. > > 1) you are my fellow enthusiast first and foremost, I want to help you > succeed, if you are happy then I am happy and it does matter to me a > great deal. > > 2) I never try to sell more product just to make a bigger sale, I have > more than enough business but even when I just started out I would talk > guys into buying less if they wanted more than needed. > > 3) I am having trouble keeping Ensolite in stock, I get 1,000 yards at a > time and it ships out of here like mad, I could do well selling less > really:) > > 4) I am always honest and when I say the results are so much better with > both materials, it is only to help you succeed in your goals, most > everyone passes them and they sure do not complain about better results > than they knew they could get:) > > 5) there are other foams, etc, sometimes the same thing but renamed, I > just call it what is is and it is the best, if I ever have a multi layer > product it will be with BXT and Ensolite, no other substitutes will do;) > > Have a great day Sir! > Rick Well it turns out Rick shipped me the mat and gave me the spray for free! He said he was busy and accidently forgot to take it off my order. I had a wonderful experience ordering from RAAM and I will recommend them to anyone who asks about sound deadener.

bump, i'm getting ready to run some wires right now and I don't want to have to re-run them when the raam gets here. should I focus on deadening the door/back of cab the most or doors/floor the most?

This is great to hear. But being a poor college student on a budget, I'm hoping one roll will be enough. I know this question is vehicle dependent but is skipping on deadening the floor going to be a huge deal? Or should I make the floor/doors my first priority, and whatever I have left go to the back of the cab? I think the back of the cab will take up less than one door would, so roughly 10-15 sq. ft.

I only ordered the roll of BXT, oh well. If I feel I need more I can order the ensolite later down the road. I accidently ordered the adhesive too and Rick sent me an email saying I don't need the spray for the mat, what a good guy! So hopefully he doesn't still charge me, hahaha. I think one roll should be enough for the doors which aren't very big, and the back of the cab.

go to imageshack.us and host it through there. you upload the pics as an image and then click "host it". it will then take you to a different screen and copy and paste the "forum" line into a reply.

I didn't do a wedge because this was my first attempt at building a box and I wanted to stay simple. If you go to my "for sale" thread you can see the box that was in there before, which was made by a shop and it is 10.5''bd and 4.5''td @ 15'' high. Also, I only had room to put the port at the top which meant the top had to be at least 6.25'' for a 3'' aero. So I just made it 8'' deep at top and bottom but it is only 12'' high so it can fit under the lip on the back wall.

Saz-1500d for sure. They are on sale the entire month of June.

Haha yeah it's huuuuge. It is a 1972 Grand Prix with only 53,000 original miles and all original. One of those sweet little old lady gorciery getter car stories.

BTL will need more power which means more electrical upgrades which means its way more than 200 extra dollars. I'd stick with the Bl unless you have the money to do all that.

I'm ordering a roll of raamat to do the doors, back wall, and floor of my truck if there is any left. Is ensolite necessary or will I still get good results if I only use the mat?

Yeah it's a monster, barely fits in the garage. Big change of pace from the '66 427 vette he had for the last few years.

Painted black, looks pretty weak but it will be behind the seats anyways. I've also ordered Sundown 100.2, PG RSD 6.5'' components, Kicker PKD1 kit, (2) Knuconceptz Klarity RCAs and Karma SS speaker wire. Next paycheck will be the battery and Sundown 1500.

We bought that Ryobi as a early father's day present for my dad and I used it to build a box two weeknds ago and it helped a ton. It's real easy to use and there was nearly no set-up at all besides adjusting the blade to 0 degrees and putting on the blade-guard. Plus it has fold-up legs and wheels so you can store it real easily. I'd say get that because it worked real well for me.
