I would run them all the way down. Won't hurt anything.

I would run them all the way down. Won't hurt anything.

i did not thinks so, but figured i would ask.

does it look right ?

would you change anything ?

i plan on...

rounding over the port

rounding over the back of the port

also do you think ill need to double up the baffle ?

no biggy, just not sure if its needed.

 

[CSCStang]

I would double up, can't hurt. Definitely round off both port ends. I would do .75 round over on the port piece in the front and .50 both sides of the rear.

brings back memories. i had an 88 S10 2-door, black/grey, and despite the 2.8L hamster under the hood, i really liked the trunk. despite religious washing and cleaning, it rusted in the same places, to the same extent by 140k mi. i never got a chance to do a system in it.

 

[big scott]

yup, all these truck have this rust in the same spots. i hate it.

but its looking alot better now. just need to finish it.

at least theres on rust outs now.

but i want to get my interior done as im tired of looking at it. i did paint everything inside so now its all black. exept my seatbelts.

trying to find a black set.

and ya the 2.8 is not the best, but with some internal mods and bolt ons it gets up and goes.

i have redone mine, inside and out ( engine )

ill have to get some pics of the engine. the 1 thing im pissed about is i spent 3 days cleaning/deburring it and i painted in chevy orange but its not all flaking off. looks like shitt.

and heres a nice tool i picked up. its a mic . im using audio tool app . works great.

 

[big scott]

well it looks like ill be doing a wall after all.

wanted one when i got back into car audio.

so wall specs...

6- sq 12" subs on 3- 2k amps.

45" w

38" h

23" d

all double baffle

port - across the bottom ( 5" h x 42" w x 30" L )

also will be using some 2x4's for more bracing on the sides and maybe the back of the wall.

im in the process of doing a sketchup drawing, and ill post it up when im done.

also going to brace my hole roof with more deadener and probably 1/2" ply. but i mite do 2 layers. ill see when i start.

and will be sealing the wall completely off , and ill be doing a nice beauty panel.

going to build a amp rack. not sure what im going to use. always wanted a floating rack.

Good choice....to do a wall.

I had a 92. them things area easy to work on/around.

Should get loud based on small cabin size.
