Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol

It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

My Build Log

Posted

Receiving new baskets and re-cones and the re cones don't fit. Call company and get told to cut the plastic pieces around spiders, do that to one and screw it up, ask said company if i can buy re-cones without plastic pieces on spider, get told no and they suggest i send them in to get looked at which is $40 each there and back so i said fuck that. Emailed a popular re-cone company and get one response and nothing else after a month.

I forgot to add that the 15s were in great condition before I tore them up to re-cone to 10s. If i would have known about the bullshit I would have to deal with I could have made a box for 1 15 in my car. I would have been a tight fit but it would work.

How a crappy box breaks and now I gotta make it a sealed box until my real box arrives.

Fucking cheap box construction. Worst thing I ever did was get that box built. Shoulda stuck with known box builders.

Not to sound harsh Jeff, but if you're having all these box issues, then it's time to man up and build your own, you already do your own installs, why not do your own box, it's not that hard.

Guy asked me what kind of numbers my truck did. Seemed to have some knowledge until he told me he did a 174 at the headrest on music. Then I lost hope

cost of all of the equipment.

This is one of those things that gets at me. The cost of gear has dropped so much over the past 15 years that its more affordable than ever to get a system going. A decent deck in the 90s was $300minimum. A 800 watt RMS amp was $2k and was also 2feet long, and 1k amps were almost unheard of. I have a pretty tame setup for today, but back in the 90s it would have been beastly, and cost 3x as much.
