yo major that rabbit goove worked efiin awesome, i took a spare peice of wood and practiced on it before i took it to the real thing and it came out perfect. now i just have to order more carpet, b/c the one i screwed up i threw out.
thanks alot dude
-
yo i really think that e-40 song "im da mang" was writtin about meade. definatly keep us updated on the "Meades To-Do List."

i wonder how many people are gonna help steve on the T15 build. i wonder this b/c obvisoly when you do custom installs you need to do test fittings and moving the amp around and stuff. now when he does this he is gonna need 3 people to help him everytime he nees to move it. No doubt steve is a god, but this thing weights close to 200lbs not to mention its an awkward shape to hold also. (well....a little awkward)
-
hopefully that T15k install!!!
seriously, i wish i could travel to Sactown and just stand in his driveway and watch him do this install.

So whats next on you "to do" car audio list dude.
-
it just sux cuz im always the guy saying dont let anyone do anythig for you, b/c if u want it done right you gotta do it yourself. but i now find myslef in a situation where i wont be able to get to it for a few weeks and the last resort is bringing it somewhere. thank god its just a tailight and nothing too too serious.
zax, i thank you ery much
-
yea i hear you on that man. we already tried tracing the wire from the brake light to the fuse box, but all the wires get lost up under his dash when it gets to the front. i dont have the time, nor does he to take apart the dash to try to get a look at where all the wires feed into. might just take it to my friend who works at Avenue Sound by my house, this weekend.
-
you can always try expanding foam. good luck trying to clean it up tho

A little trick i learned that might make it easier is to take a rabbit bit and cut a small groove on the endboards and then you can wrap the carpet around the top, bottom, front and back.
example: set the box on the carpet and roll it up like a burrito.
Then for the ends you can take a piece of carpet and stick it in the groove and use a screwdriver to push the carpet down into the groove and then take your razorknife and cut to the outside of the groove and voila.
there are sides and you cant see since the carpet is normally thick and fuzzy enough to hide it. Also, this only works if you put the sides on the inside portion of the box. ive never seen it done with the sides held on to the outside.
im trying to picture this in my head, i got the roll it up like a burrito part, then cut a groove on the end caps of the box around all 4 sides of the end? then stick the carpet into those grooves, then cut a square piece of carpet and cover the remaining uncovered end?
i think after the part where you stick it in the grooves i lose it...
you would'nt happen to have a picture would you?
either that or im just looking into it way to much
-
yea steve, i was lookign at your builds and thats what i was trying to do, but i was my first time and none of the 4 triangles that i cut for sides lined up. needless to say it looked like garbage. so now i gotta start over. but w/e i love car audio and im gonna take whatever steps necassary to get it right.
-
i really need help carpeting boxes and doing corners b/c i suck. i built all of my friends boxes and they came out great, but the road ends for me there, i dont know how to carpet at all. any tips / advice or pointers on how to carpet like the pros.
anything at all would be much appreciated

Where is your fuse box in relation to where you pulled the wires through the firewall?? And do you have a fusebox inside of the car...I am sure you do just where is it..??? Also what model matrix do you have...Toyota Matrix
my fuse box is is about 2 feet from where i ran my 2 runs through the firewall to the right of th engine bay, under my hood. the one on the inside is under the dash and thats the one where the 15A fuse keeps blowing that controlls the tailights. 2005 toytota matrix btw
-
hope both of your recoverin well, and yes, take it easy, but if you feel as if u can continue this build by all means you have my approval, screw the torn muscles. start building!!!! lol jk dude
but seriously, take some pics when u get a chance
-
plus, i think the btl takes like 5 days to machine all the parts and build, since they are for custom applications. scott will eventually get back to you, it might take a day or two, but i emailed him several times and always gotta response...two thumbs up for customer service over there!! dont worry, you will have them before you know it!!
yea scott got back to me in a matter of 3 hours, since i emailed him last nite. amazing customer service! i cant wait to start this build
-
i never noticed FI had their own forum...i guess i will join it.
its not bad, nowhere near as good as SMD but informative nonetheless. your polls get overlooked sometimes as s1795s02 said
-
its funny, i actually found their website b4 steves, and i was in their forums and steves name got so much attention, that i had to see what SMD was all about. then after hearing a ton about how sick Fi audio was i gave in and spent 500 beans.
-
yea because i went on UPSs' quantum view thing, and they require a tracking number, and i dont have one. so i cant even see where its at
-
how did you get your tracking number??
-
SWEEETTT!!!
-
dude the hc800 is insane and well worth the money. i installed one in friends car and his voltage barely drops. (he is running around 3200rms) thats the one im gettin for my car when all my equipment arrives. maybe u already have a dry cell batt undeer you hood already, but if you dont then i advise you get one (a HC2000 maybe?) but the kinetik will run alot better when its hooked up to another dry cell
-
well i was on the *** audio forum and nobody ever responds to you posts on that site it seems. so i did email Fi (i think scott) and he still asnt gotten back to me. but w/e i dont care. i know it will be worth the wait.
-
ahh, thats more comforting, thanks alot man
-
(i think imposting in the correct thread, if im not just move it)
i ordered my BTL about a week ago and on Fi's website it says they have received my payment, and i got a confomation email from them. but on their site it also says
Status: order recived (Payment is being carried out by Paypal)
Does this mean my order is still in the process of being sent to Fi, or does it mean that Paypal is the company that is transfering ("carried out)" the money?
i could be looking into this too much but im jus extremely anxious
anyone who has ordered from them in the past, how long did it take you to recieve yours?

i mean at first, ill admit i was really just very anxious, but now im straight up concerned. the whole crew got back on the 25th and still no tracking info on the sub. i sent another email to scott, hopefully he gets back to me soon
