  1. Jesus christ, went to order a 4ch and 2ch RCA + some 14ga wire from KNU and shipping is $50? That's as much as my damn order...where else should I get RCAs?

      Yeah, I decided I need more than 14 mpg lol. Pretty early, I've got class from 9:30-10:45. We can figure something else out if that doesn't work with your schedule.

      Naw that works fine. Would prob have to be either M or W after class though. Does wednesday after class sound good for you? (headed out for a little btw won't be back til later)

      Whatever works best for you, Wednesday is good with me. You've got my number if anything changes.

  2. OMFG I'm hooked on Plasti-dip. Dipped some trim on the car, now parts of the door panels, and also my steel factory rims that have looked like shit forever. This stuff is amazing!

      Then you should be fine ordering cans from him. Pretty sure the cans are only 11 ounces (311g).

      Oh jesus, that sounds so close lol. Got around to working on some stuff today at least, gonna be a long road

  4. Stretching spandex over the door panel pre-resin...so many wrinkles and it keeps trying to shrink back to its original state. Frustrated lol

      The more wrinkles the more body filler you will need later. Plus it will be harder to get the chop mat layed down without air pockets too.

      its less work when you get to sanding and filling etc. Good luck with the wrinkles. If you are getting them you are trying to stretch over too much of a span. Try filling it with floral foam or something so that the spandex lays on it basically.

      Gotchya. I'm going back over some of the spots now and it's getting a little better. I think I was rushing it too much at first. Appreciate the help gentlemen!

  5. So did you guys know that it's actually beneficial to the life of your computer to clean the screen from the inside? My IT buddy showed me how to clean it, check it out: http://www.formation-massage-stage.fr//outils/nettoyeurecran/cleanscreen.swf

  6. 18 cubic feet gross to work with inside of the shell. Hmm...

      Keep in mind this is just the air space inside of the shell. No woofer or wood volume for the actual "box" is being taken into account. Plan for now is 2 more 12 inch Zcons but I've also been looking at Team Fi 15s LOL

      Don't know if I've got enough space for two of those big boy subs Kyle...let's be realistic here. Was thinking a pair of PWX6s?

  7. Aww yeah, it's Friday and you know this man!

      Dang, I've only been working about 2 days a week recently. We've been stupid slow for most of summer. Might as well enjoy it while I can!

      I have a feeling that's how Fall semester will be for me...soaking in summer while I can and thankful for it

  8. Saved up the past couple weeks and bought a DC Power Alt. Few more weeks and I should have enough for 5 or 6 group 31s. Finally doing it right

    3. 2loud4uboyz

      2loud4uboyz

      Group 31 battery are the trick , well for my system. Delete this if you find this to be trolling sir.

    4. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      No, you're good bro! I'm just really excited to actually have a HO alt and still be able to have a functional electrical system at idle lol

  9. When you can't find that one fking tool (window crank remover) and you literally clean out your car, your room, and still no luck. Jesus christ, I see that damn thing everywhere and the one time I need it can't find it. /rant

      I lost mine once too, had to say fuk it bought another one

      It's probably behind your seats like all of those other things you couldn't find a few weeks ago.

  10. Wisdom teeth getting pulled next friday. Putting up the wall along with PWXs and C1100.4 next Saturday. Fugg yeah

    1. Steua

      Steua

      Good to see you're finally getting the mids/highs on par with the sub stage. Still planning on using the same airspace and tuning?

    2. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Going to see what it sounds like with the same specs in a wall and then tweak it from there if that makes sense. I'm sure that I'll end up lowering the net volume per sub a little bit though in addition to taking out that center port wall and making a sort of 'v' in the back to direct airflow. Just really hoping it's not raining otherwise not a damn thing will get done...how's your big plan coming along?

    3. Steua

      Steua

      Sounds like the smart way to go about it; I'm excited to see how it'll come out.

      My plans have changed a bit; got tired of getting 13-14 mpg so I'm in the process of getting the truck ready to sell so I can get something a little more fuel efficient. I'm leaning towards trying to find a CRX but we'll see what happens.

  11. Damn you FL and your rain! Especially when I was on such a motivated streak to get this wall done :(

    1. poorfish88

      poorfish88

      No rain in St. pete. te he

    2. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      I'm in polk county at the moment, these clouds are looking like I'll get everything plugged in and ready then have to immediately put it away...rain rain go away!

      Nice to see some Florida bassheads.

  12. Decisions decisions...those LVL 6 18s are looking pretty good and say 4500 RMS a piece. Would require same airspace for 2 as it would for the 4 12" Zcons I was planning (already have 2) and would fit with my DC9k just as perfectly. Just wish I could hear LVL 6s in person to make a judgement call :/

    1. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      If only I hadn't seen the 10% off for first 100 SHCA orders I would not be in this predicament haha

      A team mate is doing a 156 sealed at 28hz with a pair. Sounded very good if I do say so myself

    3. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Was that the 6th order I saw on YT? Tried looking up some vids and didn't see as much as I'd hope. Realized I don't have funds atm for them anyways, need the money for batts for now

  13. Rear view cameras? Any people with walls here have one? Would be a lot more visibility than a square foot of plexi in the rear of the wall through 5% tint...

    1. Jessica

      Jessica

      No camera, I don't even care.

    2. ChevyBoy95

      ChevyBoy95

      dont need them really. the mirrors on my truck can peek around the sides of the bed a bit. If you get the little globe looking mirror add on you can see pretty much everything.

    3. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Would rather be safe than sorry but I don't even know the first thing about these cameras :/

  14. Time to make some more sawdust

      Today's project: working on mounting tweeter rings on the a pillars. Coming along slowly but surely lol

  15. Can't believe how much cleaner and clearer everything sounds. And to think people doubted 2 12s in a wall. Only thing I miss is being able to play mid 20s, can only play to upper 20s :(

    1. will77530

      will77530

      why would you put two 12s in a wall

      I'm a full time college student who delivers pizzas about 40 hours a week lol. Still need to get to my spare tire so I have the amps mounted in the trunk on a hinge that gives me access to it. And I can't do any fiberglass work so mounting the 4 6.5s in doors was out of the question. It's an 03 Cavalier though

  16. CarAudioFabrication...I think you've finally given me motivation and expertise to fiberglass my doors. Absolutely cannot wait any longer!

      HELL YEAH MAN! GOT ER DONE! Haha

  17. Decided to fool around with the idea of a removable port on my past few days off...I can now play down to ~23/24hz and still maintained loudness in the upper 40s/low 50s. Fugg yeah!

    1. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Without it I could only play down to about 26 or 27

    3. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Thanks man, should really be focusing on side panels to seal the wall off though lol, instead I find myself doing weird experiments!

  18. Just ordered a Jasper Circle Jig 200, long overdue lol. Least I'll have perfect circles for my door pods/speaker rings!

    1. Casket

      I would LOVE to get my hands on a toolmaker alumnimun JJ. I dont really trust the acrylic JJ's. Probably just me but....

    2. Amart88

      Amart88

      Yeah. I have the 200. ONe of my best investments. They are a little flimsy-ish when the router is attached though.

  19. Sealing the edges of a wall in a 4dr car where the wall doesn't quite come up to the B-pillar and there's a gap on front of back doors. How do I seal it and make it look good?

    1. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      Forgot to mention I need it to be removable from inside the cabin so I can still unlock my back doors manually. No automatic locks :/

    2. Amart88

      Amart88

      Make MDF trim panels to go around the wall. Use some peel and stick weather stripping on the edges.

  20. Florida's starting to get some pretty nice weather. Good time of the year to start working on rebuilding!

    1. pioneerforlife

      Meanwhile in Michigan.....lol

  21. Sundays are so sad these days without Breaking Bad...going to bed an unsatisfied man lol

  22. Got the tweeters installed just now. Finally a complete system, 4 Vifa Tweets, 4 PWX 6.5s and 2 Zcon 12s. Think it may be time to do a build log once I get these trim panels done + wall covered

    1. Sergeant_Skyrim

      Sergeant_Skyrim

      And I just want to say a big shout out to the SMD community. Finally getting to this stage has made me realize how much you all have helped me learn over the past year or so. A year ago I was rocking 2 Kicker Comps, now this? Blows my mind...

  23. That time of the semester for group projects to start being due...oh joy. One more semester...

  24. Basically, I'd saw my grandmother's arm off and slap her with it just to get this amp...fking lol'ing so hard at that Amp Test Tuesday

  25. Applied first bit of the US Composites Duraglas just now. Tried going too big and didn't get it all on before it hardened, but the bit I did get on worked pretty good. Plenty left to learn I suppose!
