[IM1THE2KING3 10+ year member]

Hello,

I'm new here so please inform me if at any point i'm doing something that is against forum rules.

The Basics:

Vehicle- 1993 Chevy Silverado 1500

General- This will not be an epic world record build in any way.

I am a senior in Mechanical Engineering so both time and money is limited.

I try to do the best with what resources I have and can afford.

On the side I have installed numerous sound systems for fellow university students.

Majority of it being prefab that people simply have me install.

I have also built a number of custom sealed boxes, and a small handful of ported ones for people to use.

I have fiber glassed once and I learned the hard way through trial and error.

This is my first aero/circular port build.

I have too many hobbies and not enough time or money.

I appreciate all feedback positive or negative as long as it is indeed feedback with suggestions and not just slandering.

I WILL BE ASKING LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND SEEKING ADVICE!
