well bro if you spy alot of roof flex again....... keep in mind that IAK gots your back! good times! hey i updated my build log a little in our team section, drop in soon.

big sounds soon to come!!!!

last meet in louisville with shizzon at carl casper.... kryssy holding some flex down for him.....

wow

this is a pic of mikey looking at all of these pics....lol

notice the SSA flyers on the windshield..... we rep hard b*tches !!! lol

here you go..... off subject but some memories of sound check's show.....

ask around about the 30th then..............

notice the IAK in dust logo! priceless hey i got the camera up and going again, well.....Regina did, lol got some show pics on there of you in the lanes and ol chop kicking thier ass in the hot dog eating competoin...lmao

it needed some grafetti! lol

you little shit, i had to get these guys caught up first.....lol i have limited time on the pc so i am plugging away on here for now, figured i would call you in a few........... you have got to sit in it , lol, they haven't even seen it installed yet, lol catch-up is a b*tch.... " HEY EVERYBODY"!!!! ol mikey doesen't like mdf, he like to shred it up with his subs into little pieces, lol

i am limited down to the weekend.... if we want chuck to be present.... it needs to be earlier in the morning...... i would assume a breakfast joint would come into play.... buffet seems to work well..... come up with a date..... sundays are better..... Regina and Krystina will be out of town for the week, they are going to DC for a field trip. the 15th till the 21st , so after that ..... throwing it to the end of the month.... it would give us a chance to plan for slamology.... if willie can not creat these decals he has assured me he would, then i will have to find a new source on that as well. chop

decided to throw the remainder of the rattle can on the top of the box....sorta a primer, it gave me a better scope of how things are looking though....

the cracked front windshield does not compare to the shattered rear one....fail! it sucks as far as the kids were loving the hair tricks from it thought..... but once we fold the port, the air will be up front ... oh well i did not like the look any how, lol learned alot pretty quick taking the old one out and helping with installing the new one.... thanks to Eric from church for the help.... perhaps 15 minutes total...... before pic...... three piece slider.... out with the old...... (Kimberly is not amussed, lol) in with the new.... nice place to apply our logo, huh willie? too bad you have not got them started yet.....!!!!!! ugly image in the reflection, lol this limo tint is the shit too.... no, not really limo tint.... it's darker! 3/4" mdf tint ftw!!! inside view....

door panel are leaving.... will apply sound deadener and perhaps go with straight panels...1/2" mdf not sure yet.... passenger..... driver..... head liner was flexing too much, tore it up.... i will approach it about the same...sound deadener and mdf... nothing fancy............. took the mirror off, but perhaps not soon enough.....dammit hey Bigrank, quit looking at the back ground, lol..... did that for you bro.....

yes i am aggsressive with the silicon, lol okay, so at this step we through the subs in, at the un finished port lejgth of 48hz. and gave it a few runs..... first time on the strip.... every one was blaring thier music..... 80 plus cars present.... i play mine.... three copps surround us, I.D. us all, threaten and warn me of the fines asssociated with a noice orrdirance violation... i assure him i was nt attempting to piss any one off, i was testing the subs, they were only installed with three screws in each..... it was not even a permanent install yet, i wanted to hear how it sounded and figured everyone else was doing it... he screams at me that it was being done " IN MODERATION" "NOT EXSSECIVELY" .......... so with a warning , i left. it is loud to the ear, flex every where, moves alot of air..... strong electrical....... cons...... need to finish port for the lows come into play..... tore the head liner up .....it's gotta go the door panels sound like crap....they gotta go, the dash flexes but it has to stay, lol the sliding rear window is going to hell, need to block the sound wave from getting to it. the rearveiw mirror is going crazy, it has to go too! lost a ground under the hood on thre big four....gotta fix that. so we pulled out the audio and started sorta phase two....

added second baffle to the top.... also got the internal part of the port installed..... 185.6 sq. in.

let's see, starting where i left off..... vertical bracing, little better pic of it....

hey fellars! look what the cat drug in....lol will try to update a few things in here today...... wish i could say it sucks to be this busy, but it don't. it sucks to not be on here as much, but it is time much needed to get life caught back up. glad to see the IAK family stays strong through my absence. well i will chat on here perhaps later..... got a few pics to put up under the Dakota build. chop IAK

sorry i have been on the mia list, here is a small update....... steve bought the first two sheets of 3/4" mdf for my birthday gift..... every thing is double baffle and attacthted to the truck. the bottom is a 2 x 4 base, the lower rear has additional 2 x 4 bracing that tapers to a 3/4" piece of birch that is the width of the box and 8" high. everthing is joined together with tight bond 3 wood glue. all seems are caulked with silicon. 1 5/8" coarse thread drywall screws helped squeeze a couple of the layers together. the 2 x 4's are bolted through the body on the bottom and glued with liduid nails. the rear is attacthed via self tapers in the exsisting hat channels of the truck, as well as glued to the surface. the corners are glued, clamped, and compressed, very few scews are in this build. only four are used on the front 90. you can see in this pic that i interlocked all of my 90's so there would be no room for air leaks also the back layer of birch is visible as well. this one shows my 45's installed first baffle for the top... i swear i had better pics, not enough time in the day, sorry about the rush through on the build log. there is a pic of the vertical bracing , two 2 x 4's in the center.... i will be out all day working on the build, gathering the last sheet of mdf and attempting to o some mch needed networking for IAK. talk to you soon fellas bigrank and thehawk, your cash is in my pocket, i will hit the post office today.... holla chop

mad love too you all! perhaps a rain out friday will give way to a much needed update. i have alot to share. example of my week ; today we started a job that on a resedential property, requires 130 yards of mulch alone! the family is well. i do indeed miss the 'rest' of my family on here though. IAK

please, that would be great to add to my sig ..... not sure what the (PSD) is....but i am all ears....lol chop

got the radiator in, so one step further in that direction.... thermostat is stuck shut..... will have to swap that out tomorrow. found a leak in the front windshield, i think the pressure had weakend the seal... will have to fix that.... removed almost all of the old install as well as wiring... will remove tha last bit tomorrow and will be buying the first two 3/4" 4' x 8' s tuesday or so..... lost several pics of progress with the dakota and the taurus, i will work on it more tomorrow..... chop

i like the one down in the right hand corner, nice and clean. thanks for the input. keep em' coming
