Thanks bro, I absolutely love the plasti-dip... it's so easy to work with, and clean up. Car has come along a lot since we all met up last time. More changes coming too.

Does the plasti-dip ever get messy? And same here, I'm on to a whole different vehicle for goodness sakes xD

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

I didn't use the rattle-can plasti-dip... Mine was HVLP, once the gun was setup it was fine. Real nice spray pattern, didn't tape off the car, and clean up was super easy.

I did figure out that goo gone is not good for it... but the cool thing is, that if I ever get tired of it, I can just peel it off.

I been quiet awhile, but don't think I'm done...

Going to redesign baffle and run 1 new port configuration before the season is over. Hoping to break 145 Db without changing any equipment. Maybe some new stuff next year, just gotta get the money right.

I'll post a pic of the new port design in a few... Along with another recent purchase...

Anyone else going to be at the Respect show?

As promised, here's a pic of a recent purchase... Springfield Armory XD45... Have to say, I'm quite pleased.

Also, here's the new baffle... Centered the sub, and added another port...

Alright, I've changed a few things... I'll let the pics speak for themselves... I haven't recalculated port tuning, but I will say I hammer "Cookin' Crack" at full tilt (23Hz)...

Lol at the new title... The new port configuration looks wild! I may have to swing by tomorrow when I get a chance and when you are free so I can hear it. I'm in need of some bass therapy lol.

Awesome, I can show you some ideas I have for the doors too. I think I finally found a way to fit all 4 mids lol.

Well, 2 trips to the dealer in one week, and I get home and the car is still not fixed. Plus I paid $60 towards a rental, but the "repairs" were under warranty.

Also, kinda pissed that I dropped the car off without the key in the system, but everything working. I pick the car up and my mids/high amp is continually in protect mode.

I'm beyond irked at this point. I'm stripping all of my system out of the car on its return trip. One more chance, and if they can't fix this P0420 then we're going to have a long talk about replacing the car....

Aveo has 44800 miles on it. It was taken to dealership back in January for the same code. At which time they replaced MAF (broken pin in connector), and Catalytic converter (had hit 2200° and melted).

Last Saturday, they had the car half the day, called to tell me that there was no reason for a P0420 and they reset the CEL. I told them that this had been reset 3 times prior. 50 miles from dealership (it's an hr away), the light returned. I called Monday and was told to drop the car back off. I dropped it off on Thursday, was given a '13 Impala as a rental, and had to buy insurance for $20/day...

They called Friday afternoon and said it would be ready that evening. I didn't get off work in time to pick it up then, and picked it up Saturday. I had to pay $60 for "insurance" on a rental, and the car was "fixed"... They replaced 02 sensors, and that "fixed" the problem for all of 50 miles.

Immediately, my mids/highs amp went into protect where it has remained. I had no tools to diagnose it there... so I waited until I got home, all my speakers ohm'd out correct, power and ground seem to be fine. I disconnected RCA's and speaker wires to check amp and it stays in protect...

Now, I'm pissed... I'll be dropping the car off at the dealer again, after Thanksgiving... I don't know how much longer I can play nice...

P.S.- I made them correct the paperwork, because they had that my "aftermarket generator" was causing the SES light to illuminate. I told them that was heinous, and it made the brake and battery light illuminate, but that was of no concern, and my battery charged fine...
