  1. That looked sick, I'd love to do one here in MI, sh*t would get crazy I bet. Maybe when I get another building not so close to the general population, my neighbors hate my shop as it is, lol. Good work on both sides, Trippi and Beast both killed it!
  2. not sure how far you are from metro Detroit, but I'm a dealer and usually have stuff in stock
  3. we finished this up last night around midnight, it still needs the trim panels made to seal it off, but it plays loud and low as is. We predict the rear moonroof glass is going to give up the battle to keep it together soon... 4 SA12 D2 2 Audipipe 3K's 10 cube box before woofer and port displacement, 3 6" pvc ports, 1" 4 UPS batteries 4 layers Rockford Dead Skin on that little patch of sheetmetal on the roof
  4. We run a single SA12 with a SAX-1200d to them as a daily in our shop demo truck, so I know it can take 1200 comfortably without issue or getting stinky(although we used a SMD-DD to make sure we didn't have a ton of clipping), I've also sold a couple pair with customers that had amps ranging from 2 Crunch 2000's, Audiopipe 3000d, and a Sundown SAZ2500d, Hifonics Brutus 2500,& haven't had one blown woofer come back yet. And the guy with the Audiopipe 3k beats the crap out of them, and even with the dirt-ass signal from the factory head unit and the more than likely clipped output from the Audiopipe, the SA12s are still going strong.
  5. Should I calculate port area at the net volume(which would be after port volume and woofer volume)? I'm current designing my box for my 4 SA8's, and while calculating the actual box volume after port displacement and woofer displacement, I started to wonder if I should be calculating the port area to the box gross or net? To put that in perspective, 4 SA8s displace .4 ft3, two ports(3.5x7.5x28) displace 1.2 ft3. That drops your enclosures volume from 4 cubes to 2.6 cubes(which close to the .6 per sub recommended). So do you calculate area for the 4 cubes or the 2.6? Is 52.50 too much for 2.6 net? Its good for the 4 cubes gross? Or do I simply add everything together based off the net volume needed and shoot for the gross volume when I design my box?
  6. That mounting dia for the SA8's need to be revised to around 7.25, 7.375 is a bit on the large side with the v.1 baskets, just cut 4 holes that I'm gonna have to side screw to catch the wood on.
  7. I had a customer with a 67 Chrysler have his voltage regulator go bad, while he was driving, the voltage hit 16+ volts, then when he shut off the car it would not shut down, ign kept powered up, even with the key removed. I'm trying to figure out if the voltage screwed up the alarm brain. Anybody have any ideas?
  8. Its not a show, but we're having a "Get your car metered for $10 day" this saturday, the 30th, from 1-5. Forum member Bob Barker will be hosting with me(well, it is his meter), and we're looking forward to seeing you guys out there. 5K is located at 1347 S. Wayne Rd, in Westland, between Palmer and Cherry Hill. Our number is 734-895-7799. You'll get 2 runs, so if you put up a number you think can be better, run it back through.
  9. Man, I wish I didn't have to open up that day, looks like I missed out on alot! BTW, we'll be hosting a "get your car metered for $10 day" on the 30th, an official thread will show up this week for it.
  10. Thanks guys for the love, I'm ecstatic to have this thing done! they're there, between the radio and gauges, and one up top for defrost, all functional I still haven't even met this guy, and no, he still hasn't seen it, just a few random build pics It was cool kicking with you up there, that 'Scort is a beast! Fail, I should have come up too... Oh well I was beat from drinking like a 19 year old all week up north anyways Yes Rob, FAIL!!!! LOL, you should have been there, who knows when I'll be able to get back out that early on a sat night, lol Get you ass out there before I send it back to its owner on a flatbed this week!
  11. Well, since I can't find the original build log in the build section, I thought it was only fitting to just throw this in the video section. We finally got it finished, there's approximately 6-7 70hr weeks into it, wish I would have just went hard and did it all at once, this video could have been posted a long time ago, lol. But anyway, here it is. Build Log : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/99401-only-a-3k-build-but-lots-of-fabrication/
