Here are some pic of the speaker grilles I made for the front doors and covered then in dark red grille cloth. Last pic is the new high end DD tweeters I put in the front doors.

All of those parts already have factory paint so its just a matter of scuffing up the paint to get it to stick good. I did not do the paint work myself.

That is a REALLY nice setup you've got there. Not a fan of that grill or those rims too much, but nice regardless. Have you ever got that setup metered?

It may have too much chrome for alot of people, but that is how we do it down in South Louisiana. I have not had a chance to meter it yet. I have been offshore working since I finished and there aren't any shows coming up around here anytime soon. The new box should do alot better with the subs up and ports firing back. I posted a 147.6 with my old box that was 5^3 with 100 sq in of port. Here is a pic of the old box, I never completely finished it.

I am in Houma. I would definately like to put it on a meter and find my peak freq. I have another friend with 4 15" Power Acoustic MOFO who needs to test his too. He bought a meter off of fe-bay that hooks up to a Fluke meter, but I don't think its too accurate. It is supposed to be within .5db of the TL.

Yes I know I can run a 9.0 on each, but I don't want to make the electrical upgrades to do so. And I will end up buying 2 more 9515's!

The front end of my truck has changed alittle. I put on a paintable bumper and a front air dam, but I did not get it painted yet. I was thinking of painting the whole truck again and going with a silver from the window line up and putting a giant DD in the same red on the hood.
