Posted July 25, 201114 yr I got so sick and tired and fed up, irritated with everyones obsession with looks, asthetics, cosmetics. It's all about the sound and cheap cheap cheap to me. I got carried away with the walmart red, silver, and gold spray paint. Brandy got me 10 cans of walmart black paint for my birthday so i could paint it all back...and I am very pleased. It is very sloppy, very cheap, but it is black sloppy, better than gold silver and red sloppy!Before:(havent painted the doors yet, may leave them red)hard to see, but the front of the false ceiling is red, and I left that too!My daughter Heather peeling gold spray painted resin from the port... I will focus more on the port later.-----------------------------------------------------------------------after: I even used some sand paper and sanded some of the foam and caulk off the ceiling!the reflection from the doors makes the top still look red, its not except the very front by the windshield

I wonder with great curiosity how it sounds with the highs firing down in front of you like that. Sure wish I could check it out sometime just to see for myself. I can't say it's a direction I would ever choose for one of my builds, but I've learned over the years that definitely doesn't mean a damn thing. Over the years I've listened to some pretty fucked up installs (IMO & not my opinion of yours) that surprised the absolute hell out of me on how good they sounded or how loud they got. I tend not to form an opinion until I've seen AND heard it for myself.
July 25, 201114 yr Author When I was initially doing the build with the same equipment, it was in a Hyundai Accent... i completely removed the dash and put them in there staged, aimed, all that jazz... but the motor blew and some other things so I scrapped it. Since I out them over head, I faced them strait down, to be honest... I'd assume it doesn't sound the same as a "normal" setup thats aimed and staged, but it's not like it sounds like it comes from the roof any more than kicks sound like they come from the road, and doiors from the sides and below... everyone else puts them down and to the sides where I think the human body, seats, and in my case the floor boards block the bottom of the doors.... but they face them up to compensate, i faced mine down, and I think unless you are dead set on SQ location/orientation, it may even be better to some... it is right there, no obstructions.
July 25, 201114 yr Author You are one crazy MO FO!!!I have to admire your originality..That is all I am after T-DOG! A little acceptance. I don't want everyone else to stop doin how they do and do what I do, cuz then I'd just be like everyone else. I just want to be a bit different, mix it up a little, keep a little diversity! Thank you!Thos 1st pics didnt turn out, went and took 2 more after pics, much better! Made 2 vids of HULK too, 1 short 1 long.

Thanks man, this post's for you!Of course when I record a movie with the camera it seems like what you would fear in car-audio...camera sounds terrible, rest assured it sounds wicked in person even without the subs! Loved those final pics so much, hated the other pics that made it look bad, had to quote myself :-PThos 1st pics didnt turn out' date=' went and took 2 more after pics, much better! Made 2 vids of HULK too, 1 short 1 long.[img']http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg178/kryptonitewhite/CIMG6130.jpg
July 25, 201114 yr Author HA, im sure it does sound beast. I wish u would of got that limo SUVOh it does for sure! I couldn't have afforded to drive that thing, let alone insurance!
July 25, 201114 yr Author <---- that is all I havent decided if I wanted to lay some regular porcealin tyle or acoustic ceiling tile yet :-Phehe
July 26, 201114 yr Author later today I do REW sweeps to see how much the paint changes HF diffraction and LF absorbtion and lowering resonance by adding mass
July 26, 201114 yr I wish that Accent build wouldve continued. That looks badass. I don't like the painting of everything. But I am curious to see how your van sounds in person. The one thing I do know is that you have some very nice equipment in it.
July 26, 201114 yr Author The accent would have been sick, but what can ya do? Ya the paint is terrible, but its MUCH better than it was before. After the gloss fades it'll look much better... just dark and unremarkable. Right now its glossy shiny and bright, it wont after a few weeks.

July 27, 201114 yr Author people always get a big laugh when they come over. I have caulk, foam, resin, paint, everything on my dishes. Glasses! Plates! On my carpet, on my floors, all of my clothes. When we go out to eat I hve to be told " grab the pants and shirt WITHOUT all that shit all over it". Brandy used to think it was funny and cute. Her first 2 months here we did the Towers mod adding bracing and more subs. She ruined 2 hoodies and a tank top on that project alone. She got me a hoody a while back and we took pics for Facebook showing her purposely putting spray paint on it while it was brand new to break it in for me. My van really is terribly ugly, especially the seats, floor, and dash.Blue paint on the carpetcaulk on the linoliumcaulk on a glassresin on a glassspray paint in the showercaulk in the showerthe seats are terrible. I hate them. It's one thing to have a few spots of blue on carpet, but yellow is terrible. But the seats and floor in the van are atrocious. A shitty terrible paint job is one thing, but this...this really does have to go!resin that wasnt mixed properly BY BRANDY that didnt fully cure, spray painted gold over it, stuck to my ass as I got in and out of the port to tweak the amps. It stuck to my clothes and seats. Resin looks like black dots and smears. Caulk is the yellow thick shit. Foam is the yellow thin stuff. Black and red spray paint.dripped resin on the dash and either foam or caulkcaulk, resin, spray paintpaintfoam from when a can straw busted and the entire thing exploded inside, threw it outsideresinpainted uncured resinB got caulk on her tankfoamB's hoodie. she was using the drill for the first time and got it caught!
