Well, the project is out of my hands now. :(
My friend dropped me off back at my house last night after the fairgrounds testing and he took it back up to Tulsa.
It was all really fun and I cant wait to get building again. :mrgreen:
Next step, the CD so I can build them all! Muahahahaha! :twisted:

But seriously, after this, I'll be looking into some T36s and OT12s. Maybe DR250 if I can get all the right tools for it.

Yes, it is clear that Bill had in-car applications in mind.
He certainly sized the speakers to fit in cars very nicely...

Now I think of it, I should have built a single 60 inch wide T 36 instead of two bulky 30 inchers :)

no no, you have it all wrong. How many time do I have to explain this!

The best way to do it is to build a quad loaded cab at 97". Like this, the sheet will already be the right size, and will not have to worry about scrap wood. AND you save money by just buying ONE input jack, and one set of casters, and one set of corners.

I seriously don't know why more people don't opt for this option instead of all those stupid slim cabs :roll:

My bad. I have old plans. The 97 incher isn't included. It makes a whole lot of sense though.
So much hardware saved, and so much less paint - all those sides.

My other idea was to V-plate the (pair of 97 incher) subs by using a single sheet for the sides of the cabs and the V-plate. That would make for a single handy cabinet and should be the match of... anything.

Time to take our meds?

We're merely suggesting a Tuba 6 times the size of a regular one. Put it on the back of your pickup truck and you're a one man carnival float.

Awesome and unexpected turn of events.
My friend purchased a new head unit, some door speakers, and a back up camera.
He said he needed help wiring it all up, so he'll be down here in the morning.

Now I can take some more pictures and some better video. :D

So, tomorrow, there will be videos. And probably some more pictures. :fruit:

Did he get a back up camera because the box has rendered the rear view mirror useless?

That still wouldn't help being able to see out the back. :) It's a cube, remember?
