I was smashin' hoes in high school.

I didn't get any pussy in college so far //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

1.Had to study and do way more homework than high school.

2. Couldn't work as much, so I didn't have money to throw around.

3. Wasn't a fun person to be around unless I popped some pills to chill out

4. My engineering classes of 500 people have like 4 girls in them. 2 of those 4 are hot. 1 of those 2 doesn't have a boyfriend. The one hot single girl in the class probably doesn't like guys anyways

5. The campus was so big, people would see/hear my truck and post it up on social media, but nobody knew i was the one who had it. In high school, my truck got me laid a few times. Now, in a college of 60,000 people, I'm a nobody.

I don't go to parties because I can't drink or it will fuck with my meds. Also, there's no way in HELL I would fuck a drunk chick at a party. My roommate did that several times, but I would not. Parties aren't fun if you're not drinking. It sucks to be around a bunch of drunk people when you're sober. Drunk people annoy me.

college isn't the real world. its a joke now n days. at least you have an idea of application. most college kids are ******* idiots.

Yeah sorry for being a crybaby.....i would get a job but ive been dealing with my car. I had a rod knocking in the original motor when i bought it.....changed the rod bearings, spun the bearing, couple months went by.....finally found an engine....did the swap myself, started looking for a job (window tinting) finally got my car up and running, worked out all the minor shi t..then i blew a hole in one of the piston's, so i found another engine at the junkyard this time, so i did that motor swap just about a month ago...took me three days by myself to do the swap.....got it up and running...and now my transmission just went out yesterday...so now i have to go pull another ***** and pull this engine out again to swap the transmisson. And both my parents work and we dont have a spare vehicle, and since i dont have any friends i cant get rides from people so i have to wait till my parents are done with there daily shi t

....so its kinda hard to try and get a job at the moment in my current situation. So its not that i dont want one, it would be hard for me to get to and from a job without my car.....and theres no buses around where i live. So that's what im dealing with at the moment in my life.....so sorry for being a crybaby little bitc h about shi t.....it happens sometimes. Lifes just been very stressful and rough lately. I just got overwhelmed with everything.

Hold on I'll upload some pictures of some of the boxes I've built

Can I ask a question ? Seems this thing is kicking your *** ? I am looking at it and the way you have ended up making it was trying to piece together some thing around everything in the car but looking at your pictures seems like enclosure is small enough you can build a box straight, square and solid and slide it in through the back and anchor it down and build a facia panel to seal it off from back and done right ? I think working on the bench is much easier and yields much beter results than trying to do it in the car. I mean if you take your time and make good square cuts and joints and get a good solid box the rest is easy right ?

You do see now that I was talking to the OP, he is the one that stated he lived with his parents, had no job, no firends. I told him that was stupid and the first thing he needs to do is go get a job and start living life.

Gotcha

 

[ferguson621]

you are absolutely right chaseinbass...... that was the original design that csc_stang came up with, but i could only do two 10" sonotubes for the ports and thats when everyone said i need one big port on the drivers side and that the placement of all three was bad and what i had was just a big box...which is right...i wasnt saying they're wrong lol...but yeah that design was 41 wide x 35 tall x 26 deep and i wasnt able to do one big port, but those dimensions where perfect....it fit in there with no problem....thats what i was going to do originally, i just had to make the facia....but thats when everyone said that round ports are bad when it comes to a wall. So i was like well f uck....I'm gonna have to tear it down....so that's what i did lol

just have a nice supply of molly, hit up a few music festivals and keep in good shape and you should get laid pretty easy man. As for your truck, just roll with your windows down and give a few demos at some college event nights.

I would do do two 18s and slot port and listen to what these guy have to say especially @CSCStang. I have to 18s in a box with two 10.5 octoports doing 152.6 thanks to him and his design. And I had serious lack of space issuses as I am tall and not giving any seat space - seats gotta go all the way back, its the only rule I got lol !

I dont know if you can see these pics

 

[ferguson621]

Yes i can see the pictures....your box looks good! I could do two of them but i don't wanr to have to keep watching my gains each time i want to listen to my music....because these meso's can only take 2000 rms.....and i want to be able to use the 8000 watts that the amp puts out because ive never had that many watts on tap before.....when i had them in the box that csc_stang designed even though they weren't properly sealed off from the front and i only had one layer all the way around they felt like they were twice as loud as they are right now....the wood just slapped to much because i didnt properly brace or have enough layers all the way around

 

[Jeffdachef 5,000+ posts]

shoulda just kept the first one and try to make it work bud. IDK why you tore that sh*t down, that was a horrible idea from the start. didnt even give it a chance at all with a proper seal. you can gain several db from a proper seal and you could have even covered one of the port holes as well for better lows.

Wow when Slo_Ride is talking **** to you you better re-evaluate your life decisions as he is the friendliest bleeding heart liberal on this forum.
Seriously out of everything you have said your statement that you have no job is the stupidest one yet, go get a ******* job, get out of the house, make some friends, start living a life.

I don't consider myself a bleeding heart liberal. I don't like welfare, I don't like taxes, I'm a very firm believer in capital punishment and the second amendment. I believe if u harm a child in anyway or **** anyone you should be executed on the spot. I believe they should of put a bullet in the guys head that plowed through Time Square killing that cute 18 year old chick the other day. I don't believe homosexuality is natural but I do support gay marriage. I consider myself more Independent then anything but I do tend to vote Democrat.

Bro....one word. Xanax. Talk to your doctor Or depending on your state med rules or legal(f u cali Oregon Washington and Colorado lmao) a blunt is a life raft lol. To each their own. If used right will help u not rage quit. Life is tough for everyone but bro one foot in front of the other and one day at a time. U said you gotta girlfriend. Spend some time with that girl and chill on the car audio. If your ever done I'd take those 18s lol. But really bro 2 will do u justice and sell the third to fund your new box.

 

[ferguson621]

See chaseinbass your running round ports and your doing 152.....like i said they were teice as loud the first time and it was far from even starting to be solid hence why i was getting the wood slap obviously.....abd i posted on here asking how to brace it better to eliminate the slapping and they said the design was shi t and to tear it down and do a huge slot port etc which is where im at now.....im thinking i should have stuck with the original design csc_stang provided me with and did the double layers all the way around and said fuc k the slot port.....ive used sonotubes in my previous boxes and they got really loud....i was just itching to achieve 150+....i had absolutely no problems with the design csc_stang gave me....i know he knows what the fuc k he's talking about...so i know i can trust him like that

 

[Lbetts818]

Fergy pm your number and if you ever just need someone to talk to give me a call or text. F it. Mines 989-859-5256 names Louie hit me up man. You sound like you need someone to talk to and not saying you are will or anything but had a good friend kill himself over a hoe and sometimes just knowing someone to talk to goes a long ways. Even if u just wanna vent bro I got you

Was going to text gabby and see if she wanted to hang out, actually.

Good plan, maybe she'll give you hep C or the bug this go round. Seriously, son, don't put your d!ck in crazy.

you can build a box straight, square and solid and slide it in through the back and anchor it down and build a facia panel to seal it off from back and done right ?

Not with adequate strength and then he is limiting port options. With two subs that would have been good.

you are absolutely right chaseinbass...... that was the original design that csc_stang came up with, but i could only do two 10" sonotubes for the ports and thats when everyone said i need one big port on the drivers side and that the placement of all three was bad and what i had was just a big box...which is right...i wasnt saying they're wrong lol...but yeah that design was 41 wide x 35 tall x 26 deep and i wasnt able to do one big port, but those dimensions where perfect....it fit in there with no problem....thats what i was going to do originally, i just had to make the facia....but thats when everyone said that round ports are bad when it comes to a wall. So i was like well f uck....I'm gonna have to tear it down....so that's what i did lol

The worst part was the box was not rigid/soid. If this last example is any indication of how you operate I'm going to guess it was not airtight either and the back side of the ports were rather crowded up to the back wall. The first box was a disaster, I find it hard to believe CS told you it would be cool 1 layer.

just have a nice supply of molly, hit up a few music festivals and keep in good shape and you should get laid pretty easy man. As for your truck, just roll with your windows down and give a few demos at some college event nights.

The last thing he needs is drugs. My .02$ focus on school, do your own thing. Women can't stand it when you're single and happy.... sort yourself out and as soon as a woman senses that they'll be all over you trying to ruin your fun.

shoulda just kept the first one and try to make it work bud.

The box was 1 layer and seriously, look at what has happened since, do you think it was properly sealed?

There is no reason what he has done now can't be turned into a proper wall though.
