      They pay OK for what you are asked to do... cashiers get the mad work load... looks like the automotive techs are doin' allright... "tires,oil changes and wiper blades!"... REALLY?  My wife works in jewelry and she is never doin' her job... always someone else's due to scheduling but she takes 8-9 bills home every two weeks and has managed to secure a set schedule... she complains at home but who doesn't... lol... it's seems to be a fairly decent job for her... I would take it if I could... I got fired trying to return to work after an Ischemic stroke... I fell and hurt my knee... sucks!

      6 months of physical rehabilitation and when you try to contribute once again... they cut you loose..

      Fuckin' Arizona... you're fired before you hit the floor!

  2. Any ideas on covering the amp rack and trim panels... Box sits below window line so I need to keep it black/dark charcoal... My skills lean toward carpet, but I need to find some really thin stuff for flexibility. I don't want vinyl as I don't have a heat gun... Paint would be OK if I can figure out how to apply it evenly and not have it soak in! As I said carpet is more my skill set...

    Any ideas?

      I've posted tons of videos while rebuilding this time on YouTube with the same username 1gggman1 I've been putting everything on public status updates... maybe I'm doin' it wrong... I'm new to this site and still figuring it out. I've documented the Blazer as a playlist on YouTube under Blazer build and have been probably too detailed on my videos... I'm tryin' to use the video editor and make it a little entertaining... I'm tired of cell phone videos that you have to turn your head sideways to watch!.. Lol... :)

      Am stuck waiting for wire... FedEX has missed me twice, funny, I don't work live in a small apt, and keep the windows open all day (AZ weather)... I'm beyond my limit! If the dumbass delivery guy would just knock...

      Lol... I'm finding missed delivery door tags on the sidewalk 30 minutes after he was here... I am 25 feet away with the windows open! Put a little effort in, will ya'!

  4. It was a huge day here... amp and Subs arrived... box surgery day! Tried to use old box for RE SCX and adapt it for the Skar Evl 12's... bigger airspace more port and doing it by extending the old box. Success... It turned out well... Needs to be joined and covered but will sound great I'm sure. Amp rack and dual runs 0ga tomorrow which will be a bitch for me in my state... but it has got to get done!

      Can't seem to post video... Blazer build on youtube... channel 1gggman1... playlist Blazer build...

      OOPS.. I seem to have managed to post it after all... I know it's ugly but I am progressing certainly and will continue to improve with time. Mom's taxi will be subbin'!

  5. I will be upgrading her Blazer...@ CAB 1600.1's slaved mono @ .67 ohm... check out those numbers! I know what 1 amp will do so...lets see what 2 will do! I am tryin' to save money as usual but I'm sure I'll end up buying expensive batteries eventually! I know it always takes power to make power! But I'm praying!

     I am deadening the Blazer as well as I can without putting MDF in place of the headliner... 8 cans of Great stuff to fill the voids and 1 gallon of GT mat liquid on everything should do it... I hope... I will probably end up matting the car anyways!

    My mids and highs will be upgraded as well... I'm just not sure of what direction I'll go with... Podded door panels with multiple drivers or a single set of really good components.

    The subs are the showpiece... aren't they always? For this I selected Skar Audio EVL-12" D4/ 3 drivers...

    I know that these will move some serious air as they have 23mm xmax and the price is right!.. $199 each... they say the price is goin' up soon, DC level 4 performance for currently under $200!..  Mine are currently in transit!.. I jumped on this as soon as I saw it!

     

    The enclosure will be 2 ft3 per with dual 3" ports tuned to 32hz e@.. That should do the job I think!

    A 250A alternator with dual batteries will hopefully be sufficient to feed this setup while running! Ive paid particular attention to interconnect and wire this time as I feel that this will be astounding for 3 12" subs! 

    Watch my videos as the build progresses over the next 2 weeks!

    I hope it turns out well!

      I've had the amp at .67 ohm for a year and no problems whatsoever... must have gotten a good one!

      Normally I do stick to the specs but after seeing the tests and feeling the actual power of these things...

      Now I'm gonna' chase numbers... I'm hooked again!

      I've had expensive old school high quality cheaters before and believe me I wouldn't try this unless I'd seen it first!

      My Fosgate 50M's and Audio Art 100HC's were only run at or slightly below minimum impedances... they cost me a lot in 1997 dollars the 50M's were $500 ea and the 100HC's were two for $1000. 

      I'm kinda seeing what happens with these... the results are incredible so far and I live in Phoenix. Last year had a record number of days at or over 100 degrees and I run my equipment hard but smart. No thermal problems whatsoever and I had a single battery with stock electrical... so I'm sure I starved the amp's power supply repeatedly.
