My Build Log - Chevy Dually
#221
HAha Ya it is pretty sweet ! pretty close to that 136 mark eh ? Not the same punch though cuz of the higher note, but is still pretty awesome and ears hurt in less 2 mins. crystal clear all day long at that volume as well.

Yes Don You are correct. I have mounted them in the grill and looks/works pretty nice. Jsut Need time to get to work on it again Work is getting the way of working on the burb.. 14 - 16 hr days is not good for build time. Maybe tonight I can get a few hours in on it. if not then friday might be an allnighter to make it to your show. sooooo much to do.. make amp rack and mount / wire in 14 amps, wire in subs . wire and tune front end... I can see 2 days work alone in that..... and not to mention the other minor things I need to finish.

14 because after the issues of using big amps and one or 2 of em in past years and when it ***** the bed it is game over for long time... Not cool at all, It will be one per sub and 2 4 channel for the front end. 1 ohm per amp , tweets on one set of channels, mid range on a channel, mid bass on channel and rear speakers in doors will be used on last. I have provision for rear fill but is pointless. More batts to come down road if needed, But 900+ A in alts should suffice for daily and most demos... Only est 14500 watts on subs. So about 1400 A max consumption ... but will rarely see that if ever.

Haha Ya right . Maybe down the road when I feel like doin it bigger, After so much work I am going to enjoy it for awhile . The wife specifially told me last night when she was cleaning that this will be your build for awhile now , Not tearing it out every spring and rebuilding something else. Which I feel as well. Body not happy today. 3am was shutdown time last night and have 10 amps mounted and wired just not terminated yet.
Hard on the body working in the back ... Knees aching like a wedding ***** today!

So have some pics to upload, But I am wondering if the gear can be guessed what make is going in it. Those who know me or who know what it is already can keep the comments to themselves. I know it must eating alot who are looking and wondering what could it possibly be. There is some many manufactures out there the list is endless. So Here is the hints . When I started my build ideas 2 yrs ago , I thought this . Well I am from canada , If I build one of the worlds loudest daily driver It should be canadian based company that I use for gear. So i hunted a few down and had mark at a show in the peg him and murilo put on, Got to stay at his house and got to know him. He is a good guy and he was willing to help me out. But unfortunatly his stuff is not geared for SPL, and I am sure there is all kinds of horror stories, About Mach5 but in all you cant knock a product that is designed for home audio and small car audio installs. So after the SD issues last year and woofers not working out I called my buddy from out east and asked him again. He hummed and hawed for a abit but eventully we met in Battleford last feb for a meeting when he was out this way . He was looking for pormo ideas for his dealers and help boost sales out here So we agreed to do this build. It has been a long hard road getting to this point and Must say thanks to him for putting his trust in me, he has done things in past but has been burnt almost everytime and was very skeptical about doin this with getting his money worth form me. But he has not to worry , I will make him proud ! I hope it will boost some interest in his product again.
So start guessing away , Not to many to choose from . I will post pics after we have a winner.
