Lookin good boss. Some nice teardrops there for the A pillars I gather...The same style as Ray did on the Hoe? Roughly. I was thinkin aside from havin a "less smooth" surface to deal with, why Not "swiss cheese the a pillars w/ holes like you would a set of kicks to make sure the resin/glass cann hold well and not peel/crack away? Did you use the same Epoxy/Glue+material b4 glass as you did on the doors? I'm just curious cuz I'm thinkin maybe what Ray suggested about the "contact cement+material" as a "base" to glass to.... could replace the "swiss cheese" method when building kicks too. So I guess I'm sayin..lemme know ur opinion of Rays idea and how well the ahdesion is AFTER resining it.

Yes yes...but you have 15's don't you?

Jeez..... All you guys w/ 4-18's, HELLA Power, and HUUUUGE PORTED BOXES in SUV's....runnin round like it's "The new thing to do". I guess I missed the memo...or refuse to jump on the bandwagon. Better be damn loud. I'm sure it will. Nice lookin box.

Da Black adds beeebeeez. Just coloration of the resin. He mentioned it already. doesn't change the properties of the resin (although when I used some it seemed to speed up dry time a tiny bit) other than the color which "could" be useful if you were laying a bunch of layers and sanding or cutting thru it and wanted to know how "deep" through the material you were...like a guide coat. Other than that just looks better/already painted compared to Ugly glass yellowish brown.

lOOKIN good meng. Nice lookin base to build onto. Just gotta throw saome chopmat at it and tippy-tapp-tapp it in. I like how the mids on the front/forward part of the door "just clear" the dash. Great use of space there to get it all squeezed on there. Nice Dogloo too We had one when I had my Keyshound/Germ Shepard, he loved that thing.

Congrats sucka! Finally... credit where credit is due. Great job on the Lac bro! I'm still tellin folks bout the 5th wheel in the rear deck.

Sneaky sneaky. Lookin good sir.

Yea that name rings a bell.I might have seen it in a paint section some where too and the "resin mixer" idea wasn't on my mind so I passed on it. I'll prolly pick one up next time.

Bake chamber hells yea! I dunno if I woulda made it that BIG, but I'm sure it'll work. Less room/space, less air to heat up. And I am jockin that mixer tool on the drill. I've seen one somewhere...it was prolly @ Tap plastics. I made one of my own outta a wire clothes hanger that I bent up and put in the drill...worked like a charm but mines not as pimp lookin as dat one. Keep them pics comin.

You must have the 1.8L then right? I thought it was MFI too not EFI?

BAKE CHAMBER FTW! I've been doing an "in the trunk corner" box outta glass for a buddy, and DAMN if the BAKE method doesn't work like a mo-fo! I had to glass the corner so i just masked it, layed my base mat, and put my lil space heater in the trunk with the piece and used the confines of the trunk as my OVEN-works great and makes dry times a bit more like summer, but you still have lots of "play time" with ur resin b4 you bake it. Once it was not in the trunk anymore, but still needing glass, I just made a "lil cardboard room" around it and viola! ...(it's not done yet so I aint posted it up but I will once there's enough pics to see.) *Edit-no threadjack intended

Weak. More carnage please.

Hoooraay for progress. The rain is a maaad deturrent for me too so PROPs for gettin out there and making some sawdust pies. Nice lookin rings too. Did you mean 3/16" left on the 6'' rings where the speaker mounts instead of 3/8" or am I trippin. I guess it'd work either way but it looked more like a 3/16" "shelf" left on those rings. I usually just cut a 3/4" ring and back it w/ a wider one of 1/4" glued to the back to mount the mid to. Good to see a way to do it w/ out having to glue it up tho. Sneaky sneaky.

Really?I mean.....Really? That's your boy/buddy? He is "misunderstood"...? I'm sorry dude, but anyone that says "I'm better than anyone" is a F*cking douche deluxe. ...Not even Tommy/Pipo/Mike Perillo/Frankie, etc.... The people AT THE TOP that have already proven THEY ARE THE BEST at this stuff, say that kinda thing. And maybe he should do his homework on Steve Before he starts bashing him and putting down what he's done. So he knows about Alan Dante....if he didn't, would he bash him too?.. and then end up eating his words? Needs a lil more learnin before he opens his mouth about stuff he doesn't know that much about. That and he looks/sounds/acts like an idiot in that video-why would anyone post that?

Man it should roll off ur shoulder by now....makin bein hated a passtime w/ the caddy being so nuts... The axe is always gonna hit the guy standing TALLEST first... as they say, "if they aint hatin, you aint doin it big enough" Keep sh*ttin on em...hell maybe you will get a chance to "give em the demo from hell" at a show and they can chew on their words while they try to dry their panties out. I say grab another 40oz, and get busy on the doors for the pic/progress addicts

I'm guessing yea. 1: Did you forget Chicken's EXT? The Rezcalade? That thing does a 150db on a TL....so I'm pretty sure he would feel right at home w/ the Hoopty doing the same...just now he has another 10db to play with 2:There IS such thing as a volume knob....all you gotta do is cruise around bumpin it "nice & chill" (haha 140-150db by smd standards) until you come up on some douche with 2-12's just rockin out in his scraper....and PWN his ass. THAT-And I'd be surprised if Steve didnt get more time behind the wheel of the HooptyLade than Chicken. Designer at the wheel and audio controls, Owner in the passenger seat enjoying the ride... would be nice way to hit up the cruise on a weekend.

Wow indeed. Very nice there sir. I tink we have the same garage door too hahaha! I was like whoa deja vu! Keep it up and stay slangin pics on this one! Looks like it'll be LOUD too.

Damn I wish I was on that coast. Sounds like a fun box to build and some easy $$$ I'm surprised none of our (SMD) 305 boys have jumped on this one yet. I'd say if you can't find anyone to get down on it and throw a box together for ya, Hit up amatt in his "if you want subwoofer enclosure plans, here ya go" section he likes layin out plans for folks and you could give it a shot urself. 4-15's in an SUV.... Subs up port back or up FTW. Inadvertent Bump for an easy project I guess.

Yes the xovers will take care of it.diff subs/speakers playing diff frequencies. Plus....havn't you ever seen a 3 way component set? smaller mid and mid don't "cancel" as long as they handle their own designated bandwidth. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...?showtopic=3938

sounds like a fair price. I havn't priced any recently.... I'm not a big fan of the new fosgate subs. They might work great tho I dunno. Seemed overpriced for what they were. You should ask chode what he thought of em or maybe assman I know they have exp w/ em.

Mine are just like urs.

DUDE! Make up ur damn mind! I swear you have automotive ADD. Pick a ride, and stick with it. Then maybe you can build it up.

Well I could sense the "anyone? anyone at all" as if it was comin my way, and I know I've mentioned having mine chillin....so I just had to clarify. Thems is my babies and I aint sellin unless it's for a RIDICULOUS amount more than I paid for em. I REALLY wanna run em once I get the timeto rebuild so not unless the offer is eleventy billion for mine. I have looked around just in case I could pick up another 2 and run 6 12's...but no luck. I find 10's here and there...some like ours w/ the older silver face and baskets some are audiopulses w/ the blue look but again only in 10". 12's are hard to find. Good luck bro and I'LL def let you know if I find any that I'm not after.

Correct.

I bet he's lovin it.Can I get next?
