a 700+ LB box by yourself on a Saturday morning? I got this! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got the box in most of the way but it snagged on a Second Skin covered metal bump in the back.  I couldn't move it anymore.  Since i was by myself, i decided to call in the big guns...aka my beloved forklift.  I lifted it just over the little thing i was hung up on and pushed it in. BAM! Done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This port is strong and the way the box is designed i could easily just pick it up and move it around by this spot.  It makes me nervous though none the less!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Were in!

Of course i have a TON of trim work to do. I don't plan on just leaving a big box sitting in the back, plopped in place.  I plan on making it look like it belongs.  It already does IMO!

the shop is UNGODLY busy.  It is really hard to work on these projects with so many orders coming in.  I also, back in April or so, had an issue with one amp.  It didn't really like being at 16.5v and i ended up sending it back to be worked on.  In the meantime, we moved to a new house and i had a lot to do here.  Now i am back on the caddy as much as i can.  I know i have tons of work and it will probably never end. But at least i am getting some progress.

 

 

 

 

a lot of what you see is subject to change.  It usually starts out with some ideas, some cardboard and some scissors.  Right now i am just coming up with some ideas. But i really need to get my B2 mids/highs started.  Anyhow here a few updates.

after i put the amp back in the rack, which is a BITCH i must say, i decided to drive it around for some miles and make sure all is well before i start working on the mids/highs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So far i have put a few hundred miles on it and no problems!
