complete showtruck - worklog

[hydroxy]

OK, this should be rocking by now. I can't beleive I have been waiting since January for my stuff to get in and I have already paid. This is only a few days away. Please, share some pics with us. You said in a post earlier you already had the truck stripped and installing liner. Can we see some of those? Please, please?

actually his installer quit a few days after that post... his explorer has been sitting in the shop and hasn't even really been touched. He is going to get a new installer soon, but first he has to yell at the owners. So... I'd say in 3-4 months he should have his 2 week project completed....

Sorry BBQ, I couldn't help it

ROFL, NP I can handle it. But my dream is becoming a reality. hehe, I have so much stuff in my garage to put on my Explorer. Maybe I should have called it a "showtruck worklog" teeheehee. But still, Brandonloserkid, this thread aint worth the time reading it without pics. We want pics, we want pics, we want pics, we want pics, we want pics, we want pics, we want pics, we want pics, GET THE MESSAGE?

Voprware..

And if that's the show in Bradenton, I'll be there with my Ex for it's first official SPL contest.

the 2 week deadline was for some audio stuff to go in for the comp. but you were right i could get it done in 2 weeks for the comp. made some decent progress, will get pics from my boss. on a side note, i will also post the yukon we are finishing tomorrrow for a show in miami. 4 RF HX2 15"'s with about 4500-5000 watts of power (depending if we can repair the RF amp) 6 sets of components (3 in the front door, one in kick panels, and 2 in the rear doors) its pretty damn loud. and its a Street class we got the truck on monday to be finished on friday. weve put in some 12 hour days to get it done.

anyway back to my truck. the rockford hu is in, the wires are run, im waiting for my second skin damplifier/STFU80 to come in. then i can start on the enclosures. ive decided to go with OZ audio instead of AA kodas. for price reasons mostly, but supposedly OZ is the only company to ever hit a perfect score in SQ.

cmon typhoon come on down, you can compete for the state records... :-D we have iasca judges itll be fun.

bbq i was gonna buy my dampener first but i decided to get the HU first beacuse i couldnt stand the portable cd player with tape adapter. you will get pics dont worry, tomorrow ill get pics of the HU, and if we end up pulling my carpet up for my second skin damplifier crosses fingers ill take pictures of my KnuKonceptz wiring. unless my boss wants to give me the floppy with pics on it.

Im pretty pissed with my HU actually. well mostly my stock speakers.. I just sold my kenwood 6x8's and havent had enough money to get my component sets. DISTORTION sucks... anywho, ill try to sketch out my plans too

i FINALLY got my out of state taxes back, even though its only $210, i can get my OZ audio components (at my price) and once the yukon is out the shop i can get moving a little faster. to be perfectly honest its already going good, i expected it to be EVEN slower, but my boss is being cool with me having a "tab" she said she might just let my throw in the Niche Audio 12"s to see how they handle my (soon to be) bostwicks
in a comp. Ill be competing street 3 (i think)


i think thats all for updates right now, i know you all think im bullshit, sometimes i think i am too lol, but everytime someone posts about me being bullshit, i wanna work that extra hour to get this finished.

 

[expo5.0]

why would you want 2 sets of components in the rear doors?

 

[XplorerKid]

ok fine Bullcrap! now work harder, i might have to coem check this out!

let me know when you get closer to completion......

 

[black99sport]

where are the pics?

 

[BBQ_HotDogs]

I don't want to see any pictures of a Yukon or anyone else's truck. Just your blue Explorer with the suede trimmed interior.

 

[brandonloserkid]

lol bbq like i said before, the paint and interior are not coming for a while... im not rich ya know... i only make like 170 a week, then take out gas, cigarettes, food, and $20 to my dad. and im not left with much.

expo5.0 i wasnt working the day he came in. (monday) he said there was a show in miami on saturday, he wanted to make it to the show and WIN. so we said ok can do. he wanted his mids and highs to be as loud as his 4 15"s but in the box i think he'll have the drowning out problem. anyway, its almost 8:30 im off to work. hopefully if my paycheck is enough ill get my components sets

 

[mhn3773]

u make 170 a week and u install car steres..i make more then that installing on the side for my friends and there friends...u really need to get a raise dude seriously

you sir have no room to call this person a liar, you claim to have a 351 and a SAS and yet no person has seen a single pic

 

[redsport]

you have no room to call me a liar, my scanner is broken, you guys give me so much **** about this, someone who lives in michigan ill meet you somewhere, or you can come to my dads shop and see it and verify to everyone that i for one am not a liar

Sorry to get this offtopic again, but hey, i offered to host photos, i told you to email me, so you siad you did, i never got the email, now you change your story to your scanner is broken??

 

[typhoon43]

Scanner? What is this, 1993?

It's called a DIGITAL CAMERA. You sound like a social guy. I'd hope you'd know ONE person with a camera to use for a couple of pics. I'm not calling you a liar. I'm saying I choose not to believe you. In the world of the internet people act a lot richer, prettier, and generally embelish a lot more. If you play on the net enough you'll know that it's "Put up or shutup", meaning "Put up Pics or shut up" Not trying to rag on you man, but if people were doubting me this much I would have found a way to prove it and shut them up...

 

[mhn3773]

hey i wassent meaning to bash him buy comenting on what he makes i was only saying he is under paid for being an installer

and also..when it comes to web sites dont ***** about people not beliving u with out pictures..if u have what u have then u shouldnt care if anyone belives u when u get a camera ull show them all up..if u dont ve what u say then make a new name and dont bring that stuff up..no one here would look down on u if u didnt have what u say all of these guys are really really good friends =)

 

[hydroxy]

everyone STFU - let him post his pictures when he has time. Good lord, if you care so much about if he has done it or not, go drive to his work and take a look. Otherwise WE DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!

NOW SHUT UP!!!!
