alright, done for the day, didnt start the 2nd door, i picked up the dremel, got the good model with verible speeds and such. which was a great choice, wish i had just done the purchase sooner, gives you much MUCH more control while sanding with the rotor sanding bit. picked up some cutting disks, some reinvorced ones too. which turned out good because the other ones melt right up in the finberglass\bondo. :-s I finished up the day by mounting my re-cut baffles and setting the fit, the fit was great! finily my door panels close with no obstructions, took me awhile but I got it still havn't repaired the terminal base on the one mid, i totlay forgot to pick something up to use while I was out

 

I want you to know, those door panels are terrible to work with, looks good so far though.

 

don't i know, add 20 lbs of sound deadening to each one and it's even more of a pain in the ***. they aren't bad though, i like how the pocket works out so i don't have to cut into it. I cut to much off on my driver side, i cut less off on the passenger side, so they will be different shapes, but you can't see side to side at the same time anyways. the bondo diformed the back bone i made, but Ive worked out all of my next steps in my head, i can't do it till i get a god damn ****ing grill yet from scott over at hybrid, but he won't give me anything i did order the l4 grills.

 

looking good man

 

looks sweet! cant wait to see those doors finished

 

gonna be 4 weeks min. scott says he can't get me a set of them so i'm SOL, i can't build the rings till i know the exact demensions of the grill i plan to use so i'm up the creek with out a paddle. i did manage to get the door panels to fit, still havn't repaired the mid. i'm the middle of removing the MS-8, well it's out and the 700 is in, but its not set up and i have NOOOO IDEA how to set it up.

 

alright, well...got one of my mid woofers reinstalled, still havn't repaired the other one. that's a bit of a long time coming -_- keeps slipping my mind when i'm out looking for materials.

but i installed the 700, i never did find out what the guide con. wire was for, but it powered on with out it. everything else was stright forward. it's looks like it works, my damn sub amp is acting up again, it doesnt like the 3 ohm load it has, and likes to act up when it gets shut off and on allot which is usialy what i'm doing when i'm setting stuff up, can create quite a headach because only time cycles reset it's memory to go into normal operation it seems it has some kind of time out cycle where it forgets it didn't like something.


sold this guy already, just got it out for the buyer today. it's in incredible shape, i dont even know how i poulled it off but when i repackaged everyhting, it looked brand new.




i am having one problem though, ive found speaker setup, cross overs and some of the basic stuff i need to know how to tweak on the 700, my problem is I think i have my mid's and mid woofers mixed up? i'm not sure. i have it wired like this -

left to right, tweeters, mids, mid woofers, sub. I still can't exactly figuire out how to tune things either, bit confusing. >_< nothing like the 3 min tuning of the ms-8 but it is what i signed up for :-s just didn't mean to jump so heavy into the deep end :-s plus its been so long since ive really played with EQ or even T\A for that matter, gonna really suck.

 

fixed the terminal base worked out real nice, was a bit skechy with the short leads he has off the cone, but i guess you don't want anything flailing around in their to much eh :P just put it back in, works great. still no idea how to do initial setup of my processor, but i did manage to get the sub amp to turn on, still PMSing, went right back off next turn on.

i turned ON the rear fill in the setup, that was the only way i got music out of the mid woofers. I'm not sure how to tweak things :\ i gatta figuire this out, i havn't found anything stating 3 way in the modual, im do some reading through the manual see if i can figuire out how to work it.

 

HOLY **** did i come home to a surprise! the best kind! :OOOOO holy ****ing **** did i honestly forget about these 18's coming...and holy **** are 18's big...this is sure gonna be a tough fit just for one of these. you know, you really don't think their that big when you look at them but holy **** their huge.

 

nice subs man! i hear great things about those! 18s are huge! i was at the southeastern SPL comp and 18s look ungodly. im upgrading my system also. i cant wait to get my crescendo BC2000 tomarrow
