My black on black VIP "style" build

[ricky_db]

now with the 4 15'' subs are u concerned about all that added weight in the rear? ......... Where did u get ur wheels cause i seen the same ones at jdmautohouse

no i figure it would only be about 20 more pounds than what i have back there now since my box weighs about 40 pounds (built it out of 3/4 MDF) and the subs dont need to be as beefy as what i have now since they sill share a few thousand watts or maybe only 1000 watts

i used to have 125 pounds of system in my trunk at one point so i know she can handle it

and about the rims im not sure of the company name anymore but they said they were a importer and are located in cali somewhere

Damn Ricky! I haven't seen this thread since I bought your heads. Hope you don't mind but I'm just gonna put this here so you can see how they came out on mine n thanks again bro.

yea this thread was brought back by popular demand lol and those heads look great on there and good job on that lip

So as a update :( all hell broke loose yesterday. It was a beautiful day the sun was out the birds were chirping chicks were jogging and I was rolling..... then BAM I broke a rear air shock slighly bent both my right rims and blew out my front tire. I was outside of my towing area so I had to make a comand decision lol I rolled that bish all the way back home (about 30 miles) on a flat and my ass end on the ground bouncing the whole way. I figured fuck it I have to get both rims fixed anyways its gonna be about 250 for both :( now I'm just waiting on my new air strut to come in. I have a week with nothing to do but go OCD on my interior since I can't drive her lol

One of the minuses of air ride if one goes out so do your rims. Im sure you'll get that bad boy up and running again soon.

@ fresh
Well I have been experamenting with my rear struts getting them spaced out far enough that I could ride with no air in them and the wouldn't rub. I worked for about 2 weeks but I guess I had the angle on the bracket to steep and it broke my air clinder shaft and the rest is history.

The rest of my air ride was fine it was just the dent in the rim that made it loose air

This will NOT stop me from driving slammed lol

[ricky_db]

ok so time for a update. seeing as my car is still down i have to much time on my hands so i finally got to work on my trunk soo i gutted it looked at it for a day and a half till i figured out a plan on what to do and how to save space. i figured that since this is my daily driver i NEED a spare tire due to allll the blow outs i have on these rims.

[Predat-R]

surprise to see u still have a spare!

[ricky_db]

lol i recently had to go junkin to find one i learned there is nothing cool about setting on the side of the road for a simple flat tire. i felt like a chick but no one would help if i showed a lil leg (in most areas of dallas lol)


THE WELDING BEGINS IN THE TRUNK TOMORROW CANT WAIT!

[ShiZnitH]

Nice progress :)
About the 2piece heads/ EU heads. Almost every car with stock heads has the same gap. Its a big mysteri LoL

thanks shizzle and ok im glad im not the only one lol


so for a update i picked up some new goodies lol
buuut they threw off my plans i had for my trunk so its back to the drawing board my new sub likes 6-8 cubes so i figure the whole trunk can be the box lol but now i have to glass, plug, seal, and deaden the whole thing. but without further delay THE SOLO X!!!!

OH YEA!




and its lover

What you could do to save space is put the air cylinder underneath the car on the rear passenger side opposite the muffler. Theres an empty space there big enough to fit another muffler or that air cylinder...

is that the 18"?!?!?

[G-code88]

Man that thing is a MONSTER!!!!! no matter what size it is. I heard a 12 before and it was literally like an earthquake below my feet. This is why I only mess with kicker audio products. They are top of the line IMO
