Posted December 19, 201212 yr Well, first off. This is going to be off to a slow start. As some of you know, I totaled out my beloved daewoo and did not have full coverage. I was also between jobs when it happened.So I just picked this 2dr, 4wd blazer today, literally. I got it for a good deal. It needs some work, but it'll be worth it. I got some shit to fix on it, A/C, some suspension work, and I think the front axle solenoid is bad, I hear the transfercase solenoid kicking in, but no pull from the front. Few little nick nack things to fix. No biggie, I'm good at turning a wrench.Any way, I'm pretty well broke right now, until I get steady cash coming in. Most likely the build will start with one of my BC3500's on one of my ufo BTL/Zv3 hybrid 18's. I'll be running xs power batteries all around, I've got 3 D3100's all and will most likely pick up 3 more.Also as some of you know, I won that IA contest a few months ago. I'm still waiting for their new wardens to show and amps.6-7 D3100's1 Mechman 370 amp alt2 IA comp sets per door, one actual dedicated mid bass and an decent super tweet per door.Haven't fully decided on wire yet, but something sliver tinned There will be some vehicle mods besides car audio too some daewoo stuff first this is the biggest issue on the bodyall gone Edited August 30, 201312 yr by Mark LaFountain

December 30, 201212 yr Author Hell ya 6 15s walled sounds sexy! Gonna do a top port?Most likely best for demoing too. Stacking to one side would meter better though.
