  1. WOW! Thats a lot of weight for that little guy! Is Steve an actual human? Cause Im big myself and 400lbs for two people aint all that much if you know what I mean! Its nice to know she can do it though. Go for it dude. I cant wait to see it. Are you aiming for the same tuning as before or lower?
  2. Not only is this truck very similar to mine but you have the exact same color scheme as I do! Blue and silver FTW! Same aftermarket kit on the dash too. I like the design of the box. A lot more visually appealing than my 4 12's. How does it sound? Great work dude.
  3. yup, alot bigger..... which means more material cost too. i will build this one like a tank! Does this mean the Dakota will get a plow on the front? Badubup pish! Anyway we can get it buddy! Currently for me, its buckin fallen trees and light maintenence for Remax Gold. I need more! Lol. 1" mdf FTW! You wanna talk about sweating and grunting playing "Tetris", Dakota style!
  4. No, that amp is a POS. Its flea market brand if Im not mistaken. Id like to think you crushed its will to live but Im afraid the heartbeat was faint from the start.
  5. Ok. I have seen something like this before. Just never knew the name. I like the design. Hope it works out for you. The build time looks to be a little more extensive though.
  6. Whenever I hear that word it reminds me of this. I couldnt find the video but got the text instead. Bob Slydell: Milton Waddams. Dom Portwood: Who's he? Bob Porter: You know, squirrely looking guy, mumbles a lot. Dom Portwood: Oh, yeah. Bob Slydell: Yeah, we can't actually find a record of him being a current employee here. Bob Porter: I looked into it more deeply and I found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him about it; but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck. Bob Slydell: So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch. Bill Lumbergh: Great. Dom Portwood: So, uh, Milton has been let go? Bob Slydell: Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally. Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.
  7. Welcome dude. We'll be looking for a build log.
  8. How many years did this take? And you are still looking for clothes? That sounds pretty weird.
  9. Thats too funny dude. Im gonna have to try some winter attire in my ride! You gave a galant effort though, I'll give you that. T-lines huh? Dont know much about them but I'll be tuning in to find out.
  10. This one looks like its around the price and wattage you are looking for. AQ1200D
  11. Ive only tested them free air to make sure they work. Never in any type of enclosure yet. I wouldnt know how to measure the size of the sealed enclosure for fg. Each pod being large enough to house one mli-65 and a tweet. I dont think I want to cut the pocket of the panel like this though. same exact door panel as mine . I can cut it off, if it is the absolute best solution, but Id rather not if I dont need to. Ive already deadened my entire driver door already. So Im kinda stuck there. I also have some left over for the other door as well. So that money was already spent a long time ago. So you are suggesting that I build both a sealed and ported enclosure from say, 1/2" mdf for mock up? I can see how the comparison between the sealed enclosures could be done but the ported doesnt make sense to me. At what frequency would I tune this mock enclosure to? Does the speaker venting into the door create an enclosure like environment with a tuning frequency? I seem to be a little confused.
  12. Welcome dude. Cutting the mounting flange? I would be very skeptical to try it. Are you sure this is the only way? There isnt any other options? If you put up a pic of the said door panel and speaker, we could all get a better look at it. Maybe then, someone might have a better idea.
  13. What software did you use to make that?
  14. Just a beautiful country side in Slovenia! Awesome scenery. Oh ya, the ride and the equipment is pretty nice too.
  15. Blow throughs!!! Yaaaaaaaaa!!! Sounds like an early xmas I guess we will call you BTL_S10 now?
  16. I would install both and pick which one you want more. Use the round butt connectors on the wires so the second install is fast and easy. Keep each one for a few days and give em a test run!
  17. Welcome dude.
  18. Allright. Its a little long but I classed it up so bear with me. I have been pouring over the site with the search function and the net for glassing and all to do with it. I found some pretty informative info here and especially one tutorial that peaked my interest. FG for newbies . All my questions were pretty much answered except for a couple of things: 1) What are the options for sending the speaker wire out of the back of your newly sealed, glassed enclosure? 2) Since I am really wanting to glass some door pods, is deadening my doors still a good idea? 2a) If deadening is still a key element, should my pods be open in the back? Ive seen pics of door pods with holes in the back. Big Daves Truck Project . This looks to make much more sense with deadening and the way i think i should go. 3) How do secure my door pods to my door panel? Behind the carpet on the door panel is a plwood base to fasten to if needed. 4) Should I use a special FG mask when applying resin or sanding? I know when glassing the fumes can be very toxic. Some people say to use a mask and others dont even mention it at all. 5) Should I use a mold releasing agent? Some do, some dont. It looks like a good idea to me. Maybe like WD-40 on wax paper? Im uber juiced to get this rolling as the MLI-65s have been sitting waaaay too long. One more thing I wanted to go over is my second shopping list. So far I bought 1 gal of resin with exta hardener. One package of mat. A couple brushes, measuring/mixing cups, and some sand paper. The rest of the list as follows: hot glue gun with extra sticks wooden roller-have no idea where to get one besides secondskin fleece or some sort of stretchy fabric acetone FG mask-question #4 more measuring/mixing cups aluminum foil or wax paper blue painters masking tape mixing sticks from the paint counter 3/8" wooden dowels Dremel tool WD-40 or another MRA Anything I might have missed?
  19. So for all you guys thinking about buying a Sundown...the time is now!!!
  20. So what happened to the pics? Ive always loved these cars and want one in a few years. So naturally Id love to see some pics with an install.
  21. Any updates on this? Im very interested as I will be starting this very soon on mine. Not sure if I want to cut off the pocket though.
  22. Sorry. Reread the topic and figured out you wanted a recone for black fi day.
  23. Dude named B-Rich just got his in so you shouldnt be too far behind. Id say you will get them before xmas.
  24. Actually, I'll be installing them in a truck very similar to yours. 1990 GMC Sierra 1500 ext cab without the back seat. You can just imagine it's your vehicle if you want . Thats cold man. So cold...
