1999 Chevrolet Blazer

So, work sent me out of town Saturday and Sunday. Real upset I missed Heatwave in Austin, but it is what it is. Didn't turn out horrible. Went to Cattleman's Steakhouse:

Got this shirt free at the strip club Saturday night with the purchase of a private dance during some special hour they had going on:

On to the vehicle. Installed my HU and ran the RCA's yesterday:

So no music right now :/

Did my alternator and front battery today. Was a bit of a hassle putting it in, I needed a bigger belt than what was on there and didn't find out until I was trying to put it on. Had to put the old alt back in and run to Autozone. Here are some comparison pics:

And did my Big 2 as well:

I'm really proud of that ground. Got a little happy with the torch when I was doing the heatshrink and toasted the loom a little on the one end. Oh well.

So, just waiting on cash. Rear batts and sub box is about what's left. Door panels still need work too, but I've kinda pushed those aside.

I hope I do as clean of a job as you are doing.

Yeah money is my issue too. Just collect parts over the winter and do it up big in the spring. Or find a heated garage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

And that loom isn't much, like $10 for 25ft. or so.

The loom I am going to do before winter for sure. But I ran out of deadener. But I can finish that next year.

I'll get it done. But I am serious. I hope my stuff turns out looking like yours.

And so it's begun, the part that anyone really cares about (which is sad lol):

Was a bitch getting that wood up to my 3rd floor apartment in the 102 degree heat.

Here's the design for reference:

I do have a question here though. Would it be better to have separate chambers and leave that middle brace whole with no cutouts, or one combined chamber and cut out the windows?

Got the basics assembled:

Now I'm going to be cutting out all 4 baffles, then staining the outer 2 baffles. Should match the amp rack well.

Replaced the belt with a smaller one. Went from 967 to 960. Before:

After:

Worked on the box some more:

Cut one of the flush baffles. This is it just placed on top:

Will be cutting the top flush baffle tomorrow. Still haven't decided what order I want to stain, carpet the box, and glue the baffles on in. I think I might glue the baffles on, carpet the box, and then stain the baffles last. I think that might work the best.
