    True, but long hair /= middle management either. Why are you only shooting for middle management? You can go higher. Believe me it is the only reason I don't have a full beard and long hair too. It is pretty hard to be the "perceived hippy" and be a manager, especially sales management.
  2. Most of the time that is true, but on a similar note if you just wanted more output you could have just used a ported enclosure instead of the sealed one. It would make a bigger difference SPL wise by far than going from 600 to 900 watts.

    Hey its okay, chill with a Frosty one or two or three. It will make the whole "to the noggin'" blunting more fun too!

    It is real honkin' slow, kept me off a bunch. Made me go to CA and get mad again.

    If you eat dry ice and don't burp you will explode

    I can get some dry ice and send you some that week.

    Whoa, never seen softball but when I was little we got hit with some baseball sized hail. Ruined the roof on the house and garage and took out the paint on two of our cars. Spooky sounding hitting the roof too.

    Loose carpet, fug it. I hate dealing with carpet. It could look worse, but... IMO, it looks like you need to invest in tools more than anything. It is much harder to jigsaw a box and have it look good than when you use a circular saw/table saw and router combination. The cheater on the table saw for a box like that is to have Home Depot do your cuts (maybe have Supa route out your circle though)

    2x, that is more than I thought it would have. Hail sucks.

    Come to MN in January and I will show you, even though you probably won't like the temps outside.

    We get plenty of snow, and lots of cold. The ice really makes it work. It might be interesting in my car this winter. Two nights ago I was going to out accelerate a pickup in the lane next to me and about the time my car hit the powerband in 2nd gear my a$$ was 10' off to the side, scared the piss out of the neighboring car and caught me by surprise as the road was just a little wet but that is definetely just part of the fun of an RWD car.

    Crap, yank the E-brack and have some fun!! That is what the snow and ice are for.

    Drifting is not so much fun with a front pumper. Used to have a set of those on my supercharged SHO, they didn't last very long (nothing did on that car) and in the snow they pretty much ditched. Good luck!
  17. Yep, that was just a first layer. I like to shoot some paint on to see the low spots before the next layer as it seems to save me time sanding...oh and part of it is the paint I used. Leftover stuff that looks like weathered metal. Obviously these will be black at some point. Dennis, did you use something better for grills?
  18. ///M5 replied to flakko's topic in Photography
    Definetely

    Nice, now get 'er installed.
  20. Hard to keep doing this and work full time, but here are some more updated pics. I have finished the glass on the kickpanels, and almost finished the body filler. I think I might paint these since they look pretty good so far, but we shall see. Pic 1: Driver side (the PITA for sanding, glassing and all that) Hard to tell that I lowered the dead pedal 2" now. Pic 2: Passenger side. This one was supereasy in comparison Pic 3: Started the mold for my A pillar tweets. I should have taken off the covers before now. I thought that I could just "bolt" my tweeters in, but the German engineers epoxied the dang tweeters in so I decided I would just make my own mold from their part and build a custom mount--easier to aim anyways. I'd say not too bad for my first front stage fiberglass project so far....

    Sweet!

    Morning, but I won't put a good in front of it. I just found out the obvious that f'glass doesn't stick to plastic if you flex the plastic out of the way. Guess I need to reinforce both sides...

    You have to make sure you've done the job, it just isn't responsible otherwise.

    Hard to dye?
  25. Very useable. Much stronger than before, or will be when I am done. My foot will be in the way on axis, but being 6'7 I am always in the way. Normally when I drive a long distance I rest my foot on the floor under the clutch pedal. It will really only be used when driving aggressively and the driver will be grilled for foot protection. I cut the baffles for an 8" speaker grill since I couldn't find any 7" ones. If someone has a better grill idea, let me know. I am planning on these. http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi...5.25476&pid=892
