July 30, 200817 yr So the white part is solid fiberglass, Brooksie? How much weight would you say you added to each door?Thanks for sharing your very inspiring build. Good luck kicking ass for Team Hybrid, dude!
July 30, 200817 yr When the dust clears, let's see some pics guys! And good luck to you all.come on down sick. we are going to have some fun Where's it being held?
July 30, 200817 yr Author Sick6 - its in spartanburg south carolina... http://www.elitesummernationals.com/FoxPro - It's a bit hard to accurately determine how much I've added in terms of weight, but if I had to guess I'd say roughly 40 pounds with the door panel, damping, speakers and fiberglass.The white part you see is actually sanded gray primer. I cut the bottom 2/3 of the door panel off, leaving only the outside edge as a guide. Built it back up with layers of MDF. Screwed the MDF into the existing panel, then fiberglassed it as well to make sure it was super tightly adhered. Lots of kitty hair and then topped it all off with rage extreme. The door panel alone last year was close to 50 pounds. This year I put it on a diet by reaming out four more speaker holes and then slimming it down in the thickness department.
July 31, 200817 yr Author Yeah... especially in this day and age...No harm no foul Bro, totally understandable
August 1, 200817 yr Author Looking forward to seeing your truck in person for the first time mr. Brooks I hope it meets your expectations!
August 1, 200817 yr Looking forward to seeing your truck in person for the first time mr. Brooks I hope it meets your expectations!Bah , I come with no expectations. Mearly to admire. I'm new to the SQ scene. Helping Dave with his car was the most involvement I have had with an sq competition setup. I have built bits and pieces of cars over the years. But Dave's is the first I have helped with from the ground up. I like to see what others have done to accomplish the same goal.
August 1, 200817 yr Without Ramos I don't know what I would have done.......as for Mr. Brooks's install, I can't wait to meet the man, the myth, the ledgend, and hear how the truck sounds!!!
August 5, 200817 yr Hey guys, I'll be at Elite as well. Like Brooksie, I have been told I seem unapproachable. A sexy bitch, yes, unapproachable, no. PLEASE come by and introduce yourself. If I give you a blank stare at first, follow-up the introduction with your username. That usually helps. I want to listen to cars too. By Saturday, I'll be done turning knobs on the TH cars that are there, and will want to listen to some good music. Brooksie...damn man, there's a lot of build-up with your rig. Looks like I better get some new batteries for my hearing aids for Friday afternoon. BTW guys, Brooksie will be competing sound only. His doors will still be in primer. I have, however, gotten him to commit to blasting "Brickhouse" and other funk favorites at 122 dB full range when judging has concluded. Scott
August 5, 200817 yr I wish I could play anything at 122dB....I just hope all my hawtness doesn't shy people away, I wanna hear cars....alot of cars and meet alot of new people.
August 5, 200817 yr Author No updated pics, but the rig is playing now. Needs some serious tuning, but holy smokes it already exceeds my wildest expectations. I'm excited!!Oh and don't let Scotts sexy-bitch aura scare you off. He's a big cuddly bear inside... LOL
August 5, 200817 yr Author Definitely gonna be a fun time.On a side note, I went to someones house yesterday to fix their computer and their son wanted to audition the truck. So I hand him the keys and tell him not to fear the volume knob. I go in the house to work on the computer and 15 minutes later I've got a cop in the driveway giving him a warning... That's a first for me... LOLThat was with the subs turned off.I like the new system immensely. Mind you, I'm not advocating blasting in the 'hood... in fact, I hate that crap... I'm just pleasantly surprised at the results thus far.
August 5, 200817 yr Author Hey Kickin' you know I'm down with an audition with you anytime... you and that freaky weird music you like to play
August 5, 200817 yr Kick...you gonna be there too....maybe you can demo the Camry also.No.. to far You guys come on down to SBN 09 though!
