boom50cal Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Well I've been here a year, had my system a year, and haven't really posted anything about it. Figure since I'm starting to put some more money and time into modding it, I might as well start up a log. My dad bought me the truck the February of my freshman year, I'm about to finish my junior year now, with 142k miles on the clock. Had a fairly fresh crate Vortec 350 and 4L60E combo stuck in it at ~110k miles. Got it for a cool $3500. Currently, it has 163k miles, pretty much stock everything. Stock 110a or whatever alt, a new Duralast Gold battery, and the stuff in my signature. It's time for pics! First weekend it was at my house... Exterior is stock, apart from the HUGE dent in the fender which you can see in this picture from when it snowed in January, and yes it was stuck there for 3 days. I've got space for another Fi 10 back there or a single 12. But not much space. Not posting my first box, that thing was a disgrace, lol. But here is my current box. 1.59 net, 2x3 inch ports, 1/2 inch Russian Birch. 1.24 after displacements tuned to like 33.5hz. Clears the SSD PERFECTLY and should clear a BL 10 also. Which is my planned sub upgrade if I stay with a single sub. A little Fi beauty... And the JB weld on the dustcap is from the dustcap popping off during the summer.... Here is todays progress though, stripped the entire interior, reran RCA's, power wire, and the monsterous 14 gauge SkyHigh speaker wire to my doors from my old school Fosgate Punch 40x2 Trans Ana. My floor is FILTHY. But it went from this... to This. And hella clean wiring Thanks for the fast shipping skyhigh! It got too dark to take pictures of the doors... Besides this one before I went and ate my early birthday dinner(Chicken fried steak, mashpotatoes/gravy, and fresh grean beans)... I need some deadener and better door speakers bad! But Those little DS65's have a 14 gauge direct lead to each of them. Sound pretty decent off the 40 or 50 watts the Punch 40x2 is sending them. I got a Nexus 7 for my birthday, deciding on either swapping the Pioneer AVH-P4400BH double din I have in my garage for the CZ501 single din or doing something like this with the Nexus 7 on a removable mount... That's all my progress for today. It's a pretty slow build due to work, summer college classes, and budget. Along with my 90 F250 that I'll post in my next post. Any comments are appreciated guys.

boom50cal Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Thanks Wicks! That's all I have for now besides more phone pictures. Paycheck after next, after I make my first truck payment on my 90 F250, and I pay my class fees, I'm going to try and order some Sky High 1/0. It'll probably be CCA, but I'm not planning on upping the power alot unless I can find a DD m2a for a good price. The box needs a covering too, even though that birch is so sexy On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Nick580 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Have you thought about just staining the birch? Might look better than covering it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boom50cal Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Staining it, yes. I was considering sanding it over again and just throwing a coat of clear sealant on it too. Idk, It would look pretty nice in a simply black vinyl wrap... On 1/4/2013 at 9:31 PM, HatersGonnaHate said: Wow. 184 posts and I think you're a fucking asshole.

Nick580 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 yeah I guess it just depends on whether you like the wood look or not. Vinyl would look clean too though it might match the interior better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 So are we going to have a single cab build off hmm? Jk haha, really like that box. And your lucky that you cut the top of your thumb cause if it was the bottom imagine trying to hold things with it. Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.
