  1. Well, the beast has been updated. Pics tonight, but I got a lot of work done yesterday. Heads need machined and cleaned up for sure. Also made a stupid move. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187138-94-ford-beast-350-obs-cclb-motor-rebuild-project-pass-head-is-off-updated/

      Yes it is, and now that I'm this deep, I wonder if I just bit off too much. But I'm in it now, and the worst case that happens at this point, is I don't sell it and hang onto it. But we'll have to wait and see.

  2. Officially torn on what to do. Lot's of internal decision making to do in the next few weeks. Great pricing on Ampere and nice looking quality equipment. But then on the other hand looking at a great deal to stick wtih DC and move up to DC Amps and away from the Crescendo's. All will be told when the beast is done and sold. BIG BIG Project coming in the future. That is all.

      Ampere, Fi, Tantric, Beyma, lmfao. I'll give shouts to any company I love. DC, Sundown, Nendo, Crossfire...still all killer companies.

      Ok. Interesting.

  3. For those of you who do blow-thrus have you ever had to sell your vehicle? What do you do when you sell it or trade it in? Are you leaving it that way, or welding the plug back in, or what? I'd like to hear your input. I have a decision to make and I'd like to know this part.

      I've discussed the idea of welding the plate back in then bedlining over it, both sides. And the back of the cab. Sound deadning over the front of the cab cut.

      Thanks guys. Boom I actually had that same idea. I guess I'll just cross that bridge when I get there.

      If it was welded back in and the bracing and stuff was welded back in as well I don't see how it would be a problem but I wouldn't just not tell someone I was selling it to.

      It's no different than something that might be done after a wreck.

  4. Well it's official everyone. The Loud and Low 8th Gen Civic is gone! Dealership picked it up about 20 minutes ago! Traded her and my wife's Accord in for a 2015 Ford Explorer! Next up is to fix the beast so I can sell her so I can lift it, do wheels and tires and do the audio in the F250. Things are changing in the Scooter99 garage!!

      Yes sir! We're a ford family over here. I tried to trade in the f250 and the beast in for a 2014 f15 fx4 with a 6" lift, wheels and tires, burgundy, with 5 miles on it. They wanted $61k for it and wouldn't budge on price or monthly. But I'm happy with my f250 new to me truck. We're going to buy the warranty they offer for the 6.0 p.s. For $3k that's a huge piece of mind with those known issues.

    3. Broke_Audio_Addict

      Broke_Audio_Addict

      Damn 60k for an fx4, you could get a fully loaded raptor for that.

    4. scooter99

      scooter99

      This thing was loaded. Plus the raptor is ugly. I'd never have that in my driveway! But either way we didn't get it.

  5. SOMEONE GOT A NEW TOY THIS WEEKEND!!! 2006 Ford F250 Crew Cab Short Bed Lariat with the 6.0 Powerstroke. Black exterior with grey leather interior and wood grain (those will have to go). She's a beauty. Well taken care of by my in laws. I'm anxious to get a plan put together.

      It's more than that if I have someone else do it. But the parts are $2500 plus some of the extras. I've already priced it out. Yeah, get started, as soon as I get some free time. BTW I start a new job on the 27th. Back to normal 8-5 hours. Still with the State but different department with moving up options. Great opportunity.

      have fun, scott.

  6. Ever wanted to do something you know you shouldn't do, don't do it, and regret not doing it even though you know not doing it was the right thing to do?

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      So many times. There is this thing called karma though. I got enough bad luck, don't need bad karma on top of it.

    2. scooter99

      scooter99

      That actually has a lot to do with why I didn't do it.

  7. Getting so tired of this foot issue, which is causing my back issue because I've changed my gait and I'm overweight due to not being able to exercise CAUSE OF THE DAMN FOOT!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH End Rant!

    1. _paralyzed_

      _paralyzed_

      You can lose weight without exercising. All you need to do is cut your calories, you just lose it faster if you cut calories and exercise. You need to cut calories anyway if you want to lose weight, not being able to exercise is just your current excuse to eat like a fatty.

  8. 4th order question. If you have a design for 2 subs, and want to end up doubling it, do you double the port as well or do you do different port specs?

      Spartan King Leonidas and a force of 300 Spartans fight the Persians (under King ... until he sees that part of the wall is made of the dead bodies of Persians. (incase you dk wtf i'm talkin about)

      I wish it was about audio. I don't even know what road I'm going down with that yet. All my potential builds have been shut down for a bit. This is about life, and it's hard to just back away from that when you have kids, wife, full time job etc. I know I'm not the only one, I'm not trying to act like I have it harder than anyone else. Just having a tough go at it right now. It's a big stack and as broad as my shoulders are, I'm having trouble carrying it all.

  12. Anyone think a 5.0K on 4 M38's at 1 ohm is too much power? That equates to 1250 per sub, if i get all that power due to box rise etc.

      That is bad ass!! I'd love to have them sit back just a touch more even with the seat. Might just be doable. Thanks for that.

  17. Well all is out of the civic except for a couple of cables, the front D4700 battery and the singer alt. As soon as I figure out what the hell is wrong with the truck, I'll be starting on it. Very excited!! Need to do some research on door poppers.....whaaaatttt????!!!!!

    1. boom50cal

      boom50cal

      oh fuck yeah brother!

  18. I've got most of the design finalized. Have the enclosure design in hand. Got a nice pm from Singer last night. Civic is 75% stripped and will be about 90% by tonight. It's about time to start the build on the Beast-350. Getting excited!!

  20. I know I'm late to the party, but GOT DAMN THOSE B2 AMPS LOOK HAWT!!!!

    1. Kyblack76

      Kyblack76

      They are decent. We ran 2 m1u's in the ecplise. I wish they came in black. I quite like the case.

    2. scooter99

      scooter99

      Yeah that case is bad ass. However, that being said, you know me. It's nothing a little carbon fiber wrap and a little matching decal logo can't fix! WOOT!

  21. Does anyone know if i'll loose signal by taking a pair of rca's and splitting it multiple times? I'm sure this has been discussed I just can't find anything. I want to make a distribution block for 2 channels in and about 12 channels out. Thoughts?

      Does anyone have a link to where I can look for pricing the ones that are floating around here. I can't remember who has them. I think Jon Rabe grabbed a couple, and Kyle. Who's making those? Scott Budwalla (Sp) I think? Is that even how you say his name, I don't remember. I know who he is but I can't remember his exact name.

  22. 140.8 @ 43hz. I'm ok with that on a first major build. Then I blew a sub so I guess now it's time to move on to bigger and better things!

      scooter99

      Sounds good to me. How long till they're ready? I'll wait to tear down until then. Don't DD's like a big enclosure though?

    3. cjvue

      cjvue

      I should have them done by this week. They are D1 so you should be good with just one amp @ 1 ohm final load.

    4. scooter99

      scooter99

      Ok. I'll get the other sub out and we'll be ready to go.

  23. Need help finding a thread. A guy from Northern Cali, Sac area, had a white dually with a blow through and 4 alpine (?) 12's. His truck got stolen I think at one point. I can't find that thread, can someone help. I did a search but may not have searched correctly. Searched for Dually Help please.

  24. Well it's official. New build log for the truck is started. After this weekend I get busy with breaking down the civic and start building on the truck. Check it out:http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187138-the-beast-94-ford-f350-obs-cclb/
