scooter99 Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Ok so here's the deal. I was doing a build on this before, and here's a little back ground. My wife and I have been going back and forth for about a year now trying to decide if it's in our best interest to sell this car or keep it. Well after all that back and forth and "we're for sure selling it" to "now we're keeping it" and back and forth, we've decided finally to keep it. We'll have it paid off next year and we're getting by just fine with what we have.BUT, this works finally for me cause I know that I can now plan a final system in it and get building! That's what I'm doing now.I've been working with Dre (Ibleedmusik) and Jon Rabe (skyhighaudio) with this build and some of the particulars and planning of it. I want to thank them for their help and constant working with me. I can be a bit crazy and over the top at times and they help reel me back into reality. But what everyone should know by now, is I'm not a typical run of the mill idea guy! I like to be out of the box, or just off the other side of normal and easy. But that all being said this is going to be fun. I have a sketch up of the plan, and I have some stuff built already, but not much. I'm about 98% of where I need to be equipment wise. SO we're about there as far as getting this thing going.Here's my last build and where I left off: 06 Civic BuildI do have a UBL from the last build, and I'm going to go ahead and leave that up and add to it cause it has all my performance build pics on it, and it's not that long. SO, I'll be linking that in my signature and you can follow along there as well if you don't want to hear all the talk in here.Most likely, like that one, this one is going be a long thread. I like to make sure that I have all you guys with me along for the full ride. I do experiment with some different things and some fail and some work. But along the way, you guys see it so if you want to try it as well, you can see what works and what fails and can comment on things to try on the things that fail.Ok enough rambling, I'll be back in a few minutes with some pics! Stay tuned, here we go! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooter99 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 So if you were with me in the end of the last thread, you knew that I was in an accident back in October. October 22nd to be exact! Some jackass decided he didn't want to turn left anymore and went from the left turn lane into my lane, which I just so happened to be occupying at the time. Could've been worse but still sucked either way. Well in the meantime we'd decided to keep the car, as noted above, and I started building my stockpile while the car was in the shop. It went in on October 22nd. Well here we are, on December 1st, and I just got it back last night. Still have some problems with it, and it's going to go back for sure. Problems: Biggest problem is the paint doesn't match. The two doors and rear quarter panel are lighter than the front panel and bumper. This is not even subtle and I can't believe they missed it. Here's a pic: Second problem is the driver door window. It's off track or tweeked or something, cause I have auto up and down feature on the window. Well it goes down just fine, but when it goes back up you can see it twist a little about 4" before closing and it stops and goes back down. It has a safety feature on it so no hands or heads or whatnot get caught in there. So that has to be fixed. Third problem is the alignment that was "perfect" is NOWHERE NEAR perfect! It pulls hard to the left! That's all I could find at the moment and I've not really had time to look at it better but those are the things that stand out to me. Now to the good stuff. When the took these doors off, and the rear quarter panel, I lost my sound deadener. They are going to pay me for new, along with time for labor to put it on. Nice couple hundred bucks in my pocket for that. Then the rear wheel also looked damaged at first, but after a detail, it's only got a little scrape on the wheel outter lip. I can fix that myself, so they're going to still comensate me for the replacement of the wheel. Another couple hundred in my pocket! So that will be nice considering I have deadener here to replace the old stuff, and I have the stuff to fix the wheel as well since I already did two others. Still undecided if I want to keep these or get new ones anyway. Down the road! So now we're back on track with the build. So lets get to the equipment. You can see it in my signature but here's what's going in! Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet: Samsung 10.1 Desk Dock swapped with a 7.0 Dock with HDMI output: Octava HDMI Converter: Alpine CDA-9886 Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 2 - Crescendo FT-1 Tweets (running 1 per front door at 4ohms) These were taken when I had the old soundstream stuff and decided to change it up. I'll get better pics of the tweets alone. 4 - Crescendo PWX8 8's (running 2 per front door at 2ohms) DC Audio XL15 D1 Sub: (This may change as I'd love to run a Level 5 in a 4th order, but I have to sell this and it's partner first before I can do that, so I will continue on this way until that happens. If it doesn't I'll sell it's partner, pay off my debt, and be happy with this. But for now this is the plan.)

FieroGrande Posted December 1, 2012 Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hell ya, let's see some work. Good quality build I for see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooter99 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Forgot these too. Ebay volt meters Also I have a ton of Stinger cable. 1/0 ga, 4 ga, 8ga, and twisted 16ga speaker wire. So that's the equipment list for the most part. I'm sure I forgot a piece or two. Here's the basic design for the trunk. Sketch up of course! The enclosure runs approx 3.7-3.8 cu ft, port area per sq in is around 15.8, and tuned around 34hz. Front facing, toward the back seat, and will be sealed off. Trunk side amp and battery rack: and I've since changed the fuse panels on either side from this: to this: This new one will have the same plexi cover like the older design, but will clean up the cables a bit better and have the ground cables in there as well, where as the old design did not. So that's about all I have time for right now. I have parties all day today with my kids, but I'll post more later. Trust me I have tons of pics to post up! Be back later! Thanks for checking it out!

scooter99 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 Thanks guys. Yes I'm in this one 100% and it will get finished! I was going to try and get it done by Autorama in Februaray here in Cali, but we've bought a house and will most likely be moving in January so between now and then it's going to take over some of the time I was going to use to build. So may not be done by then, but I will be working hard on this one in the limited amount of free time I have. Will still try and meet my goal of Autorama, but not being unrealistic about it if I don't get to that point. I have some build pictures, enclosure is cut and temporarily built, and I've test fitted it with slight issues. I have some pictures from the old build that are still going to be incorporated into this one, so I'll re post those. The rest will be forth coming in the time ahead! Going to have some fun with this one. Maybe get my girls involved with it as well, so don't be surprised when you see them in the picture! My goals are to get loud, and be clean as hell doing it. I want it to be show worthy, while not necessarily be competing. Gonna be fun! Facebook Page: S99Creations 2006 F250 Lariat Build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
