    TINSEL not tensel

    and 10g is PLENTY trying to shove and solder wire bigger than whats needed is silly

    4g wont fit in the amp.. and really my psi platform 2 15 has 10g direct leads and im running about 2k rms and wire NEVER gets warm

    bigger wire wont help anything unless the leads under the dustcap are 4g

  3. Just got a New AMP

    them boss subs are just right for that amp too

    4000w max amp fused for mid 100amp range

    wont see over 1500w in prime conditions

    amp is 1 ohm stable so id wire to 1ohm if you got 2 dual 4s

    if not then 2ohm

  4. More runs of 0 gauge?

    I do see the logic in it but i dont mind doing some more runs. I guess it cant hurt and then ill swap out the front battey as well.

    I have heard that before. Which then i need 3 runs of +. Although i might as well do more for my next rebuild.. Im on the fence of doing a dual alt setup its just a pain in the ass on monte carlos from what i understand.

    No i dont think that was me. This was my first post in probably a month or 2. I never see voltage over 15

    simply put your trying to pull more amperage than that 1 single run of 0g can provide..simple as that

    i know how to handle customers ive worked in a few shops and always dealt with customers.. and i try the same in what i do on the side also..

    hell i even went thru the trouble of explaining port area bandwidth and other things too wether or not birch is worth the $$ or not etc etc etc..

    dude had a full hr of talking to decide if he wanted me to do his box or not.. what other box builder does that?? im sure a few do but not many

    and hell i even gave him a solid 20min demo of my chevy.. and showed him EXACTLY how i do my installs

    and teamht... that looks like a nice ass truck (for a b/w pic..) shame it went to impound yard.. because when my car got impunded they took my wheels off

    o.p. it sounds like the buyer is retarded . and like i said before i agree with you but the best thing you can do at this point is make a decision and stick to it .

    really alot of sound advice on the thread so you just need to decide which one to take.

    and i wish we had a box builder that charges like you do

    i believe in cutting deals for certain people.. bc i have seen what other people want to build a box..and its just insane..

    generally i make 80 to 100bux profit.. im cool with basically breaking even ( for my time n shit) if the people treat me good and spread the word ya know..

    this will be the last time iever make a box for 40 bux profit lolol (again he seemed like a cool guy and knew his stuff so i gave a break)

    5 star hotel, lol. It honestly is so weird that he isn't picking it up. Shoot, I had a wood worker build me a small custom media unit we designed and once it was ready I drove an hour out to get it. He paid for it, so it just really doesn't add up, lol. Unless he's trying to hide the purchase. But we go right back to square 1, not a storage facility.

    im glad me n you are on the same page lol..

    his girl was with him when he 1st came over.. so i doubt hes making a purchase behind her back lollol

    shit when i had my door pods done i immediatley picked them up also (within 20 mins of him calling)

    yes i had somebody do my door panels bc im not very skilled at fiberglass work..and i wanted a professional looking job

    Depends on the size of the garage. I may have a three car garage now but I remember the first place I got...NO garage, lol.

    ive got a 2 car (still a small space) and everytime i turn around that box is in my way.. space is valueable in my area

    i just put it outside in a junk car ive had sitting for a couple yrs.. put a tarp over the busted windows and left it be.. maybe itll become a nice mouse home right?????

    lol, i have 50 sheets of osb for re-roofing my house taking up space in my garage! Damn me!

    thats for your personal use etc.. i got a few sheets of wood sitting also but it for my own use.. i got to literally move the box out of my way to access my closet then move it back..and try to make sure it stays clean (bc sawdust sticks to velvet like glue). just a total hassle for 8 days now lol

    anyways i got enough opinions n such

    THANKS to the people who actually had good advice and actually understand the situation

    I'd say your last text could have been a little more professional but I'd be pissed too.

    48hrs sounds reasonable since you let him know the time frame. Maybe try to leave a voice message as well so the guy can't say some bs like oh my texts stopped working or whatever else he could make up.

    Owner doesn't seem to concerned to get it.

    He hasn't given you a legit excuse?

    never a solid excuse just says stuff came up blah blah blah..

    i tried calling him 10mins ago and he sends me right to voicemail..

    the way i see it ive been professional as i can be.. ive been waiting for almost 9 days now..

    even called off work and missed out on 10hrs of pay..

    then he continues to ignore me

    Hmmm, do you make $5.00 an hour? i mean 10 hours of pay just to get $50 profit on a box.. sounds fishy.

    no i make 12bux a hour..my boss is super cool and generally lets me call off if i got a decent excuse (been friends for 20yrs now)

    and like i said earlier i cut him A ONE TIME DEAL.. in hopes of maybe getting more work in etc..and ontop of that i DID NOT call off to make the box..it was done on a saturday

    and i called off work a few days after the box was done and sitting..i called off bc he said he WAS going to pick it up

    Maybe at this point you are in deep enough you just need to deliver and cut your loss. That or resell and give him a refund minus a small /wink storage fee. good luck man.

    i would deliver it if i knew where the fool lived..

    hell ive even tried to do research on him to find out where he stays..no luck lol (or i suck at being a investigater)

    Telling someone that you're either going to "burn it or sell it to some1 else" is tactless. If you're doing a business deal with someone, be professional and just say that it's using a lot of your free space preventing you from making boxes for other people and you need it out of there by X date or they will forfeit the box. The person already paid you, so it's not an issue of them not having the money.

    what the fuck do you think ive been doing? sitting around with my thumb up my ass??

    professionalism went out the window a week ago..

    i txt him EVERYDAY 2 or 3 times a day..and he continues to blow me off

    so i see it as your post was NOT needed

    I was going to give you helpful advice, 'till I saw this. You have your money, if he doesn't want the box, take an axe to it and leave the pieces on his doorstep. If it's bothering you that much, scrap the wood and only charge him the price of the wood. But when you ask us for advice, and turn around and start with an attitude like that, you can take that box, take a shit in it, and shove it up your ass. Talent is only a small portion of success. Being an ass is a complete fail.

    Oh, and if you want to be a prick, I'll be one too. This is in the wrong f*cking section. This doesn't have to do with general audio, it has to do with enclosures. There's a section for that. :stfu2::noob:

    your a funny guy.. no shit in my 1st post i said maybe wrong section.. even a moderator posted and apparently he didnt see a issue..soooooo

    sounds like alot of b.s. especially for a guy who paid for the box i would be more worried if he had not paid . really with out knowing his the situation i would try and give him more than 48 hrs i think by law if it does not get claimed by 30 days you can do as you wish. just tell him you ran out of space and that he needs to come and pick it up or you will charge for stoarage for x amount of days ? after that the box goes outside and uf it gets weathered or stloen its not ur responsibility . try to atleast give him more than enough time so he cant blame you and also you can try and get some extra monies for your troubles

    did you miss the part where he expected a fast turnaround so i busted my ass all day.. that was 8 days ago almost 9 days now..

    also i forgot 2 mention 2 days ago..he said "ill be there at 3" so i cleared my entire schedule..and waited for him.. and he stood me up ( i actually called off work to do so also)

    no i did not miss that but some guys are just @ holes so i hope you charged more for the fast turn around and if you did not its a learning experience for the next time and remember you have the box paid so if the buyer is smart you can get extra money for your trouble .

    really you are asking peoples opinion but at the end its your call .

    just remeber you are the seller/builder and he is the buyer/customer so even tho he is an @ss you still have to do things in a bussiness aspect .

    i agree with you the buyer is a d-bag but part of anay business is that some times you got to bite the bullet

    i didnt make a whole lot off this box.. i made exactly 42bux after material cost n such.. i cut him a 1 time deal ONLY.. and he does this

    usually i make at least 80 to 100 profit
