Ford Ranger MT 15 build

started the re-cone today...

courtesy of team psi. 15in MT, 8 layer flatwound dual 1.4 vc, dual woven tinsel leads and i don't know how many spiders there are but a 25lb weight didn't even budge it...

i picked up a can of dupli color paint before i started gluing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif i also had to buy all new screws to attach the basket to the motor. 70 cents a piece for odd ball metric stainless steel screws. they didn't have any zinc coated ones //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

it was my first time trying the direct splice on tinsel leads. i think it came out pretty good. i used a torch to solder them together and i think i could have gotten a little more coverage with a gun but take my word for it; these aren't going anywhere...

i like the way the basket came out. just two quick coats with minimal prep made it shine...

i wanted to do something a little different and unique with the dustcap. i like the way it turned out..

skadude is building my enclosure this time around cus i really don't have the space to anymore now that i live in an apartment complex. plus he does great work and is a real cool guy.

what do ya'll think so far?

when you get it in the truck you need to swing up to American Radio again when they do it. Looks good dood //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

finally updated this...

got it installed. built a quick box in the rain. 4 cubes gross tuned to ~30hz. painted pumpkin orange haha.

yes, those are wire nuts, yes that's industrial 6 gauge wiring going to the amp and yes it's all going to get replaced //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif:laugh:

as soon as i turned it up the first time it blew the dust cap off and i still need to do all that but i couldn't wait to take it out on its maiden voyage since i've been bassless for many months.

i also need to buy a new HO alt. wish i never sold my ohio generator. my voltage drops to low 13s and hits high 12s when pushed to the max.

will make more videos with a much better camera and different songs later. beats 4 my van is brutal...

thanks to jnralp00 aka dj db designs for the tunes that i've been bumping for years. i gotta get back into the lanes now!
