At last my second box has arrived......now to trim the inner ring to fit the fat butt subs and wire them up at 2ohm and 500w.......I hope they go boom boom with only two subs as well as they did with 3.....more watts to two than I had to 3......so it should be about the same.

 

Ok before everyone post this is worthless with out pictures.....lol




more to come once they are installed.......still got one more to trim and wire up.

 

those look sweet!! nice.

 

wow... that's exactly how i want my subs mounted

 

ok i might be totally exhausted at this point as i had to trim the inner rings to fit the subs......3 hours later the subs are in the boxes......

I cannot drive with them in the car for now though as the floor has to be raised up about 1 3/4" to snuggly fit them which is good cause it gives me lots of room to mount the NINe.5 under the floor under plexi.......

It really would of been nice if they arrived 3 weeks ago like promised to be able to start mounting them back then for the show,perhaps I can get the floor built by the next show but I doubt it as I only have like a few weekend days to do it all.......

under construction sign will be a must for the shows.......lol

 

just a little teaser of what you will see tomorrow on chris' car....

 

:D

 

nice

 

ooooh, broadway mirror, nice, lol.


headliner looks good too

 

What broadway mirror did you go with?

 

lol i don't remember... i bought it awhile ago i think it's just a standard 200mm

 

pretty sure cindy has one of those mirrors somewhere but I hated it......too big.....wonder where it is......seems all the cool people are sporting them now.......

 

Small request........could someone please bring me about 12feet of speaker wire tomorrow.....I am out and have no money to get any......need to hook up and tune the subs and amp......I need at least 12-14 gauge.....as it is for the subs.

 

all i have is 18gauge, i have 100ft of it and you're welcome to it if you can't find any 12 or 14 gauge.

 

sooo does anyone wanna help me with a design for the paint on my box?

I wanna incorporate the nautical blue of my tC and white cause it a secondary i'm using w/ my theme so any suggestions? I'm trying to get this step out of the way..

here's a pic of the box shape so far. (no where close to being done )

 

I can help but it is a bit far to drive.......we actually have one person in the Portland area that paints.......box is looking very good at this point.If it was painted car color it would look very nice.That is my final plan for my new boxes as well,was going to do the false floor as well but due to money and time I am gonna wrap it in either vinyl or carpet cloth.

who knows what the guys name and number is that paints......he is building the Sweet Honda right now.....my brain is soggy.

 

One of my friends can paint really good, originally i was gonna get him to fiberglass but then i decided to take the leap and try one last time,

I just need a design like stripes or idk any ideas just throw em out or don't whatever is fine with me

I'm just not that creative

 

Easy enough.....goto Google and put in "pinstripe designs..." there are many out there that will work great in whit on the box.......the brush for pinstriping is about $16 and paint about $4.......

the paint will give you enough to practice with a few times and it is easy and does not need to be perfect......lots of intricate patterns that are easy to do.........

It is a clean look and can be tied into the rest of the car with other areas.

 

An easy item to practice on are beer bottles.......about the same surface testure as a paint job........and it has a curve to ad soem diffficulty.

 

i was looking at US composites and they mentioned something about a "wet out" coat

do you know what this is?

beer bottles haha clever
