chop's build log
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?

4 Fi X12's, short build log
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.

chop's build log
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!

Three 12" Kicker CompVR's in a Chevy Caprice
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.

chop's build log
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.

What happened to the Recent Topics thing?
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.

bigrank916 MLI-65 project
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.

modify mli-65 to fit a smaller space
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.

anyone want to check my math?
What software did you use to make that?

Head units
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!

what are some trusted on-line electronics dealers you have used person
Cmon man. Thats a given.

thank you SSA

bigrank916 MLI-65 project
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?
