if i could hear, i'd kick yer ass

Can you say, hook-up, kiddies? That's right, hook-up. Not the kind that leaves you worrying and checking for strange goings-on south of the border, but the kind that you get from a buddy with connections. Way back when I bought my sub and amp, Polk was having a deal where if you spent over a certian amount of money, you got a free subwoofer. I think they have a similar deal going on now as well; anywho, at the time I didn't get my free sub. Both local stores were out of them, so I never got one. I didn't really care, I had no plans for it other then selling it, but the other day I was at HiFi Buys and happened to mention it to my buddy Jermaine who works up there. He said he'd take care of it. Take care of it he did...originally you'd get a 10" single voice coil sub....he was able to get me a 12" dual voice coil sub (just like what I've already got), for free. A $140 sub, for free. So I'm taking the remaning jump seat out, and putting this sub in it's place. Hoo-rah.

Although, with running two 4Ω DVC subs isn't ideal, or at least not trying to have the total impedence 2Ω, which is what I want, but beggars can't be choosers, so I'll just wire them up to run at 4Ω. At least this way I know I won't be over-amping the subs and won't worry about them blowing, so I'll be able to crank the power up some. Yee-haw. Maybe someday I'll replace the DVC's with SVCs and wire them to run at 2Ω, which will be very, very loud. I'm already looking forward to how loud my lil' truck'll be by the end of the weekend. Slowly, little by little, I'm taking away everything useful about the truck. Eventually, it'll only be good for taking home trophies, which bothers me none.

I didn't get a chance to finish my shave job today either. I would've been done, but I did a half-assed job mixing up what I thought was to be the final skim of body filler, got a soft spot (and area where the hardener isn't mixed and the filler doesn't cure), which I had to dig out and redo the area. I'm glad I found it now and not the hard way by it flaking out 2 weeks down the road. Tomorrow, I should be done, with pics and everything. Should be done with the box tomorrow, and have it installed and wired up Sunday, so look for that as well.
