Nice parlor! I mean... enclosure! Some antique furniture and leatherbound books would really go nicely in there, man. Top notch. 

Thanks some leather would look cool on the front but I have a cooler surprise in store in my opinion.

That enclosure is sexy!

There may be a slight difference between coats, kinda hard to say.

 It may help to wet sand and recoat, if you are up for the work (as if you dont have enough already lol) 

Thanks I used 0000 steel wool between coats, which worked pretty well. I have a long ways to go with everything else, if I get bored in the off season I can always add more coats of gloss.

Hopefully you get this done by slam. i'll be there for sure as of right now... 

 

Come on out for a demo. I'm not that loud

12 12s on 15k in a zr2 blazer

I'll get you a demo of the loudest guy in michigan right now. Guy that is rooming with me did a 165.15 at last show

 

Idk I was like all into having it done and then I hit a big patch of meh. I'm still enjoying the build I just don't feel like being rushed into it. I could probably have it playing but I want it finished finished. I assuming you're referring to Mr. Staat I saw Corey posted his score, I would like a demo from you however I saw that you're considering parting with some things on Facebook.

Let me know how those lithiums do I own a xs15kspl and I honestly wasn't impressed at all

Well I've had a Jukebox lithium and loved it, just trying something new. Hoping they give some decent bang for the buck.

Alright minor updates I hit a big patch of meh so I don't have a ton to share.

First off I got the aluminum threaded rod cut and aluminum nuts installed for box terminals, it's going to be a tight fit with a sub mounting close by. Also notice the reflection in the urethane if you'd like:

Alright on to a project that I have no idea what I'm doing some A-Pillars. My girlfriend bought me some McLaren tweeters and a fire extinguisher for our 2 year anniversary so I bought another set for the other side. Anyhow first off I made these rings, took a few failed attempts to succeed:
20170528_131901_zpsqvkgwuwn.jpg

Attached them to the pillars I know it looks like they're aiming down a little but the second piece holding them on wasn't in yet:
20170528_140744_zpsxtoxsjve.jpg

Another picture just because, I bought some bondo resin just to try out with these. I didn't want to order a bunch of stuff from US composites and waste it so I'm starting small I need to pick up some ponte to stretch over these so I can start on the actual glassing:
20170528_144550_zpsgezbdc2e.jpg

I also made a couple of trim/beauty panels to cover up the ugly look of stacked 2x4's and foam. They aren't attached and need another coat of urethane but you get the idea. Also on a side not the factory amp that you can see in the second picture was left on the roof in the rain all week (someone forgot it up there) plugged it in and it still works lol:

Finished my amp rack or whatever you want to call it, it's just propped in place for this picture as the battery holder has to go in place first and the poly is drying on it as well:
20170528_194531_zpsb9v2x01n.jpg

Also I let my girlfriend paint the front and all the foam/2x4's I have a surprise for the front but it isn't time to do it yet as I have a ways to go I really don't mind the flat black though:

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend at slamology I was pretty jealous watching some snapchats and Facebook live feeds. Anyhow a few small updates nothing big, I hope to make a show this month.

So I got my pillar pods done for starters really happy with how they turned out:

Mounted my fuse holders and RCA distribution box:

Also mounted my fire extinguisher. Not sure that I'll keep it there or not definitely no room for it in the back:

Made a small panel to mount my relays and small wire bus bars on:

Thanks guys got a little more fiberglass practice recently. Well sticking with it, not really getting in a lot of time but it's ok. Got all the subs wired up wasn't too bad wish the DSS had some bigger push terminals though. I also made some fiberglass trim panels for the amp rack that also hold my fans. They aren't perfectly symmetrical as the passenger side one gave me some fits and I had some problems but it will be ok.

I think it looks pretty clean but I'm sure it could be more perfect if the time was taken to make it that way.

On to the fiberglass stuff.

Oh also I bought a pneumatic stapler a couple days ago. I got sick of the handheld one not wanting to drive staples into wood all the way or through factory plastic. It should come in handy when I go to do my doors.20170621_194713_zpsxxl6pztw.jpg
