that is definitely coming together great! I'm loving the black on there, and once that lower grill gets put on...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/drool.gif.b5e863e893038027711d4402f340dad0.gif

thanks man

I was bumping at my bro's 5 acre yard and then I went outside of the vehicle and holy batman, I did not realize I got some serious roof flexing issues lol.. Definitely will have to apply like 2 layers of deadener.. Hopefully I will be able to afford some deadeners sometime soon..

Ha. I'm on my second zx2500.1. Would love if I could fit another and another omega, but my car is little. I currently have another box being made for mine. Currently I have it in a 2.5 ft box @35 hz, but its going into a 2.2 @ 32. Should sound a hell of a lot better

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

thats cool

i m assuming you got a 12 inch omega correct?

and yeah i would love to throw in another 2500 and omega but then the box would be huge and cargo space will have to be sacrificed.. I dont want to do that

to be honest I am very satisfied with my set up for daily beating, it is already too loud for me to drive around at full tilt lol.. i can do that but not for so long hah

I am going to build an amp rack in front of the sub and box.. My bro and I talked about it yesterday and our ideas sound really good.. should be a simple mod.. we will work on that soon,

how did you get the carpet up from your backseat?

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

I removed the seat and reinstalled it when i was done

 

[nickolas_j_t 10+ year member]

How do you think I should get carpet up by only having 2 rows in my explorer? Your build looks great.

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

i you could maybe i am not sure but they are pretty tight when the rear bolts are still secured

Update:

I got the lower billet grille installed, it was piece of a cake after all.. but I would need to buy one more spacer for each bolts, that is all I need.. but it looks fine for now thats for sure..

I have decided to sell my HC2400 battery since my explorer's stock battery apparently is doing absolutely fine due to the fact that I got a 250A Alternator from Mechman (highly recommended!) It came to me as a big surprise that I am experiencing ZERO voltage drop.. I am going to save myself hundreds(once i have it sold) and probably save some hassle since now I dont have to worry about mounting this big *** battery in my factory battery location..

So I thought if my stock battery craps out on me, I will just buy a yellow top which will be far more sufficent for my system.. I think I will get YT once I get my 4 channel installed anyway.. Also I ended up not doing a big 3 because i dont have enough 0 gauge wire so I can imagine that YT and big 3 is going to step me up so I think I am all good with electricals now..

some of you may disagree with my plan but I believe I am doing the right thing

What size tires you running?

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

265/40/22r

they are just perfect arent they? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I am very glad i got this size, I always have recommended this tire size for anyone who got 22s on explorer.. It would look good both ways lowered or not

Your right, those rims look good at stock height. Don't think you need to really lower it.

Looks really good!
