that box really isnt big enough to worry about bracing. its not like the xplods are going to flex a box much. if you do want to brace, a 1.5-2" dowel in the middle of the 39" piece would do you just fine. screws are only for clamping pieces together while the glue drys. yes you leave them in after but you dont need very many as long as you have clamps.

that wouldnt be good enough. they would make you take the speakers out of the car. but its not a problem so dont worry about it.

just making sure bro

you can always wipe up the extra glue that drips out. youll get the hang of how big of a bead to lay down. use LOTS of clamps. look at the build in my sig to see how many clamps i used. if you dont have a lot of clamps then use a little more screws. be sure to pre-drill the holes.

lol wood screws. the screws dont hold the box together, the glue does. the screws just help the glue make a tight bond. they act like clamps while the glue drys.

ya, i thought that 4G would be the one. pics sent.

i didnt expect you to help at all. but i guess it would be a good way to end all the bull shit.

he was being a smart ass. we've butted heads a few times so it was appopriate.

several reasons: if i can fit it, id want to get that 300amp slim mechman. then id have over 500amps and ill be able to add a lot more power. its a new type of project that ive never done before and it greatly interests me to learn how to do new things like this. ill never be able to sell an alt for a buick rendezvous and the 250amp mechman im using is working great so it would be a waste to take it out. i dont have pics but if you want to help i can go take some.

4"? are you going to be helpful or was that all you wanted to say? you figure out how to fit a second alt into an 06 buick rendezvous and ill buy one. i just noticed i have an AC line thatll be in the way of where i need to run the belt.

wow... he just 1upped hollywood.

ill bet that will only help you sell the car. not get more money for it. your asking 1k over blue book for a car that will sell for less than blue book. everyone will see that price and just pass it up.

im trying to add a second alt into a fairly small space. the regular 5" alt wont fit but i think a 4" thick alt will. problem is, no one says how thick the alts are. anyone know of a thin alt? it can be just a stock one. the ford 4g looked skinny but i cant find dimensions. mechman has one but im not sure if its skinny enough.

ill take that bet. to get my alt out i have to unbolt the engine mounts, take out the windshield wiper arms (cause there isnt enough clearance), then put a strap around the engine so that i can pull it forward. only then will there be enough room to get the alt out. its on the back side of the engine, under the windshield so even after doing all this you will never be able to see the bolts. you just have to feel your way around while laying on the engine. do i win?

not sure what you looking for here but 12"s get louder. well... for most people.

i say go for it. as long as they are in a box itll be ok. the speakers in the rear deck will probably blow after you put the sub in. its best to take those out so you get better flow into the cabin. you know what... i think im going to find a little place to put an 8" now. i think i got a good spot...

hahaha. ya, add me to that list.

i dont think its too bad. if you didnt have the 15" it would make a great little SQ setup. not sure itll be the best with the sub in. but its a much simpler idea than glassing new doors to fit 8"s in.

they probably got spooked off just after getting into the car. maybe security walked by or too many people walked tward the car. ill bet some one saved your ass somehow. but they know they can get into your car and you have something to be stolen. they could easily come back. if your school has a big parking lot, park somewhere else in it. ask the office if they have cameras set up and you can make sure to park in view of one of them. get an alarm! they know your an easy target.

go for it. this will be your sub stage or are you using the 8"s as midbass?

he actualy called himself a pig. "i pig" lol its funny to see everyone bitch about cops when im about to be one.

oh god... my friend forgot the earmuffs. turned on that saw and got scared from the loud noise. threw the blade down to get it over with faster and that piece of wood BLEW UP. scariest thing ive seen in my shop.

oh man, can you imagine how many competitions are going to die off after these kids that "never lose" and dont keep score grow up? its going to be monday night touch football in 10 years.
