No idea... Going to see if I can get a new end plate from Ruthless.

Hmm. Hopefully something will help get back on track. I call this era of amplifiers"Mystery Amps" usually. you never know if you get one thats excellnt working or a hit and miss, or even one that last more than 6 months these days. Shame I still have some 25+ year amps that still work excellent with no cap replacements or leaking and perform well to this day? Kinda strange really. i guess storing indoors in great temps has worked within my favor.?

LOL. Are you sure you were awake enough? Maybe you thought you ran over those objects or wished you had instead of being half/Azzed asleep and ran over a concrete parking pillar in the parking lot or the medium making a left turn? LOL !! My last 93 Integra sat so low that youb couldnt fit a 12oz. Cola can under it. Not even sure it was legal to be honest. Id rub every speed bump. Had roll sideways very easily.LOL

Luckily I quit drinking 5 years ago.

I have been tempted to buy another truck to daily but prices/interest rates are still to high for me to pull the trigger..

New balancer and case came in today. Installed and good to go again.

Windshield tint has been failing for about 3 months now. It was expensive ceramic tint with a lifetime warranty but dealing with them was a joke. (Sambos customs in Wildwood Florida)
I just pulled it off myself and will have another company redo it.

Poor little 4 channel has taken a beating from vibration... I asked Ben from Ruthless if he had a way to get new end plates and he said no..

Added another layer of 3/4" to try and help some more. Thinking about moving it over the yinlong bank.

MAYBE then I can quit being lazy and wrap the back and seal off the front and wrap it too.


Before.

After.

Looks like its going through some hell and back man. Machine screws and Thread Lock might work?

Well the time has come. The hooptie is going back to stock and getting traded in. Loved the 4 Xv3 12 setup in it and will miss it alot... Wish I would have taken some videos and metered it but it's too late now.

Currently doing this with my Honda. Almost got everything out, next to remove the subs sell those and remove the wall enclosure. Never fun taken it all out lol. Need a truck as a beater now so this must happen.

Yeah taking the wall out is going to be the most fun part….

Gotta buy a front battery tomorrow. Man have battery prices went up…

TC started having AC issues and I’m just tired of driving a manual after 13 years in a row of it.

My civic is a manual and is due for a clutch, another reason I wanna sell it cause I have no desire to do the work lol. I need a small awd automatic pickup for everyday. I have other toys, currently putting all the wrench time on my 87 foxbody mustang. Gonna do a small setup in that car audio wise. Worst part is selling everything after it’s out, I have no desire to ship subs anymore
