LOL... ummm nah just looking for some decent sound at a good volume to overcome the sound of the engine on those long cruises.. Its not too loud when its running through the mufflers.. But un-cork the headers and its a diffrent animal //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Under the hood:

Think Ill have to do the big 3 LOL... 12ga going to the alternator right now BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I hate you right about now!

Reminds me of my buddies s10 from back in the day. I believe it was a 93 IIRC. He had a 400 small block in it and was something else. I remember every year when we had the "Hot Rod Nationals" in town they threw competitions at the fairgrounds and one of the competitions was to see who can burn their tires the longest. He won every time he competed, lol! Of course you put on **** tires, lol! Guess what you won? New tires, lol! Always got a kick out of that. His truck was running in the 9's IIRC and was tubed out. Was a site to see and was in a couple different mags.

I wish I had an old school s10 like that.

What y'all think about the door panels? I need to build this panel to get rid of the map pocket. Should I angle the speaker up and out some so its pointing toward the listeners, or just leave it flat? (Extra hole in the angled one will be for the RF 4" speakers, but I dont think Ill put em in.

or

Cant draw the angle on the "pod" how I want it in sketchup... IMagine it coming out and up a little. This will be my first attempt at using resin and fiberglass too, so it may get interesting!

I personally like the 1st sketchup myself.

And normally, I would not post a pic with quality this poor, but have to show the purrdee lights!! The main reason it has the EQ is because it lights up BLUE !!

Todays update:

Started on the door pods

Before:

IN Process:

Thats all for now, maybe youll get an "AFTER" shot after the weekend. Gotta do the resin and fill coat, then mount and re-paint the whole door panel so it looks like it belongs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif If you can't "see" it, the pods will be in place of the bottom panel of the door assembly. Also, ordered 50ft^3 of Fatmat today. That will keep my busy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
