Socky Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Sorry I was in a hurry last time. It was resin...sand. bondo...sand. painted it silver and cleared it and wet sanded just like a car. But like I said it has a mirror finish...looks sweet. I think it was 3.8 that he gained. He set the US record for ss1-2 at slamology this past year. What vehicle was this, the guy with 2 stetsom 14ks and 2 18s i think?

PUNKYOU007 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 If you reface the wall and gain .3-.4 then sand the inside and gain .3-.4...that would be a nice gain. If pleasing the meter is your thing then you should know it takes a lot of work or a lot of money to gain anything. Doethepaperboy "Bars of Pain" Doethepaperboy "Hero Remix" C.

fecupe2001 Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 Yes you are right, gaining is not cheap but sometimes it´s easy, he has a big ass box, maybe he could try getting some bricks or something in it before the show, shrinking the box could raise his score without spending a cent I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

skittlesRgood Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 carpet hurts a lot. pvc "roundover" helps. ive seen sanding help and ive seen it do nothing. i think it all depends on how much work you put into it. covering the floor in plastic helps. waxing and buffing the box and dash helps. you can get a hand full of syrofoam balls and put them in your box, burp it and see if a bunch of them collect in one place. if they do then you know you need something to get air moving out of that corner. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted November 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 carpet hurts a lot. pvc "roundover" helps. ive seen sanding help and ive seen it do nothing. i think it all depends on how much work you put into it. covering the floor in plastic helps. waxing and buffing the box and dash helps. you can get a hand full of syrofoam balls and put them in your box, burp it and see if a bunch of them collect in one place. if they do then you know you need something to get air moving out of that corner. We already put a fog machine in the box and found the problem areas, there is only a few right by the port. But I have a fix for that. It is funny you say carpet hurts alot, cuz just recently I had the same thought, but on this guys truck I built, it is an extended cab pickup similar to an s10, it is a Nissan something. Anyway, built his box two square 12's both firing up and port on driver side firing up. Metered it, did a 148.3, then a week later, carpeted the box in trunk liner, metered again, same number. Oh and didn't change an single thing other then carpeting the box. Explain that....
