Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

hmmm, well this is only temporary, and the wood may be glassed eventually. and with 7.1 one way linear xmax...i doubt i will be hitting any thing.

but you are right, Lexan would be a better choice, but for us cheap/poor basterds we have to use treated plywood.

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

they sound great. nice and clear. not a whole lot louder than stock but then agian they are getting 25w peak if that. probably 10w RMS. and they still move like a mofo. I cant wait to get 50 or even 100 on the midbass. for the price i would reccomend these to ANYONE with an EQ (to tone down the highs). IMO these are better than JL XR 6.5's 2way componet set. Probably even compareable to the 3way though i havent heard their 3way componet set. once i get 50w on these they should be more than able to keep up with an XXX18 to where i want them to (no need in getting componets that can kepep up with a 150db sub stage completely)

Heh, well 3-4 years ago (when i was 12) you would have seen a sort of wigger. only not fat, average sized and weak as a tooth pick.
Now i listen to just as much rap as i do Rock, Alternative, Classic rock, and Reggae. and i even have a few country songs i like. oh and since i started HS i have started weight lifting and all that good stuff. so now im average and actually have some muscle on me. WOOT

Bech 175 p0nds.
Mah Pec's 'n' tri'z pwnzz joooo!!!11!!!!11!!!175!!11!!1

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

Ya, even though I was still squating the same you were when I was a freshman, although I was about 40 lbs heavier, I never cared much about how much someone can bench, squat, rack...etc... I was benching half of what some kids were doing, an still laying em out on my highlight tapes

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

hmmm, well at my school the weight lifting team is big, foot ball is huge, and athletics are all around 99% more important then acedimics. though i care about my acedemics i enjoy making these huge dudes that weight like 250lbs wearing their "275lb weight club" T shirts and all over the place shut up...when i tell them i am 138lbs (when i want to be, but since im not on the wreseling team nor the weight lifting team as long as i keep my body fat % down i am good) and benching 170...and it was just last thursday i did 175. and 315. well that is my max this year. last year it was 350...but that is when i lifted weights religiously for the most part.
I just wish i could clean and jerk more. there are kids my size or slightly bigger cleaning 225. i can clean 150 on a good day. but power cleans are all in technique.

but anyway, back to audio discussion.

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

Well i started on some tweeter pods today and finaly just got tired (and light headed ) from working with fiberglass all day with out a resperator...so here is one of the molds, the other is finished but needs some re enforcement and some trimming... have happy fun, i will post them in order and give a shot discription of what is going on....


I was gonna go for maksing the entire thing, the tape was so really cheap...like 2.89 for a 3" roll....but then i said, F' it...well ya, make sure to make where and near where the resin is going to be WELL...


for door panels trash bags work really well....
but make sure it is the HD ones.... no wimpy kitchen bags...


though resin wont eat through maksing tape, aluminum foil is always a good idea....


give you a general idea of what sizes and shapes to cut out, NEVER try to make a big area, especially a contored area, one pice of mat....it is a pain in the ass, trust me from experence... lots of little pirces fit togather alot better...


Get'R'Dun


Both panels and some of the stuff you will need, incase yo uare wondering abotu color differnces....the panel on the left i used 2 month old resin, just some stuff i had lying around from repairing a surf baord, the other stuff was brand new, and i mixed it alot hotter than the other... on top of the fact that the one on the left was on its 2nd coat and the one on the right was only on its 1st


tryin to figure out how i am going to shape it....eventually i abandoned the clippers for a Jig saw, faster and easyer, but make sure to use eye protection... wood is one thing, fiberglass and metal are another...




another shot of the door with the mids


the 18 isnt too far off.... like my internally amplified flea markey sub....excelente` if i say so myself....lmao

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

wow... looking good Fry-guy! Are you going to have enough room behind your seat for an 18" sub?? My 15" in 3.25 cubes takes up most of my trunk... it's gonna be one looooooong box...

You're lucky your door panel comes off so easily by the way. Mine is a royal pain in the butt; I still haven't figured out how to get it off yet. I'm just bending it up enough to unscrew stuff and get it out. It looks like you're gonna have enough room to put crossovers any everything in the door... my door's so thin there's not even enough room for a tweeter

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

Well, you obviously don't know how to fiberglass...

You didn't use NEARLY enough resin...you dip the entire piece of mat IN the resin, wipe off the extra by dragging it over the edge of the container...then apply if to your spot. You literally should not be able to see the individual fibers anymore...at all. Just so ya know...

NG

PS: You must be a messy fellow...covered the whole damn panel in a garbage bag...lol

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

i like the paint brush method better, especially since i didnt have gloves or a resporator....which is why i stopped...my head started to hurt....and if you look at the one with the new resin, it is completely clear, it was dry at that point waiting for a layre of mat. that old shit just didnt want to doak in, that is why it is so lumpy i had to put gobs and gobs of resin on there just to get it to soak up what it did...then when my friend dropped by (sorry no picso f his set up, batteries where recharing at the time) we drove down to lowes to get a few quarts of some new stuff.....
ill admit it wasnt the best job ever, but then agian no body even sees that, so who cares right?

Re: Bow Before Thy Mater, Bitches (Pics/ My Project)

oh and BTW, i dont like dipping, with a paint prush you can controll the ammount of resin you use to get just enough needed, dipping, sure you can strain it out but there will still be extra, unneeded, resin in the mat or cloth...
