Herokight Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I'm gonna have a huge ass build one day. Just gotta get money. It's kinda my last priority right now though. We're losing our house and I'm going Monday to see if I can get a first time buyer loan from my bank. The requirements aren't as high as normal. Main problem being that I haven't been employed for 2 years yet. If I can get it, I'll officially be a home owner, and it'll be backwards because my dad will be living with me. Just gotta find one for under 20k. Not hard in this area, there's plenty for under that. What's hard is finding one that wasn't trashed by the previous owners. Last one we went to was missing the furnace, the ac unit, alot of wiring, and all the brass plumbing you can get to, including the brass faucets. Previous owners stole it. I've been doing little things here and there on my 'Bu, but I keep forgetting to take pictures. Latest being sealing my subs into my cab. I just masked off the opening of my trunk, put tape from the box to the edge of the opening, and starting foaming it up. Too broke for fiberglass, almost too broke for great stuff. It ain't gonna look so great, but you know what they say. Loud ain't always pretty. I'd appreciate any advice guys. Hell, I'm only 19 and life's really punched me in the dick lately, so I could use a bit of it. Quote Lane AKA HeroKight '96 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4x4 R.I.P. Molliboo $200 for new tires, on a jeep!? Is she stealing them or building them with a heat gun and rubber bands? You hear that????That's a category 5 shit storm coming n8: hey you doing today.

fox_racin4 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Use gorilla tape to seal box from trunk, do a layer or gorilla take then lay some cardboard down Then more tape The cardboard reallly helps to stiffen it up, also make sure your box is really secure or it will pull take off the box or car Quote 1998 gmc extd cab 12 crossfire C710s 4 SAZ-4500s 3 Singer 400A altsbuncha mids/highs Team Asshole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herokight Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I thought about putting some cardboard or small scraps of mdf in when I started. I got all but one little section foamed up. It's like, 6x8". I'm just leaving the masking tape there. No one else ever rides with me, and if it works, it works. Like I said, loud ain't always pretty. They seemed louder pointed forward, but it also kinda seemed like all the sound was disappearing in my trunk, and I had alot less flex which started making me wonder about sealing them in, even if it was a temporary fix.

iceman1575 Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Dude, don't worry about audio right now. I'd LOVE to get my v.2's, batteries, wiring, deadener, and door speakers done, but getting my life going in a good path with my chosen career and working on trying to support myself is getting in the way of it. Family/housing first, cars second. You can't live out of your car (comfortably at least, especially if you're doing a wall ) Well, you could sleep in the port...keep a nice low note going and keep a breeze on... Best of luck to you man. I'm a first timer to loans too. Working on paying off my truck. If you show you're determined and responsible, I'm sure it won't be a problem for you. Quote POTATO!

OrionStang Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 You said under 20k for a house? Are you missing a zero? Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 You said under 20k for a house? Are you missing a zero? lol you're used to cali prices. Where I lived in Michigan most houses were under 20k. Long time condemned ones sell for less than $10.00 Quote And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..
