I don't want my box jumping around and beating up my hatch.. So heres my little solution.. I already started working on this one.. but my car has plastic bins in the hatch from the factory, which are screwed down into plastic adapters. I dont trust these adapters to hold down the weight of the box, amps, and subs, so I removed them. The first one was a bitch because I didnt have a plan. Once I got one done, I was set. Heres my method of madness lol Well.. it worked :shrug: So, fuck it.. These holes are accessible from under the car.. if your arm is 3 ft long hahah.. but I did see daylight at the bottom. As a result, I need to add the bolts from the top. I could use small bolts, but I don't need shit snapping. I knew it wouldnt fit, so lets take out one of my best friends.. Much better. Now, I need to get the proper bolts, bigger washers, and nuts. The washer is what'll make the most contact area with the metal of the car. The layout will be: Bolt --> Washer --> Cars Metal --> Washer --> Nut --> Washer --> Box --> Washer --> Nut Got washers? LOL

Lol I hope it works out. For the amps, Ill use some special screws with weird heads.. that look seemingly impossible to breach. Ive been talking with a few guys, and theyre about to be ordered. The first hole was my test dummy, so it wasnt the best.. But I still have 5 more, which will be spot in. I formulated a better plan. Im going to get a wider top washer. This is just barely hand tightened, but you get the idea.. Make believe my fingers are the false floor.. This is sorta what it'll look like.. I fucked up a little.. One of the washers that on TOP of my fingers will be UNDER my fingers when all said and done.

Sig Sauer 9mm has a nice fit, low profile and packs a punch it's the smallest I've got.

I like my .380, smaller enough to put anywhere but strong enough to do the damage.

So.. A few packages came in from Kyle, Kevin, Cody, and online stores.. First, black & blue 4awg OFC; along with black, blue, and red 16awg primary wire. Cody hooked me the fuck up.. Thats all Im gonna say.. Thanks!! Next up, some 8awg OFC speaker wire from Kyle and Bryan. I couldn't have gotten a better deal. Thanks to you two, along with Laura for shipping it out. I picked up some 1/0 OFC and set screw fuse holders from Kevin. Once again, killer deal lol What really surprised me about this wire is how flexible it was.. WARM. Not hot, warm.. I also got a new passenger window regulator. My old one was starting to go, and the bass throwing the window back and forth didnt help. Remember, I have frameless windows. Before I replaced the regulator, I threw the batteries on the charger. Its been like 3 weeks :shrug:

I narrowed it down to 2.. What do you guys think? Top or bottom? A little after I finished vacuuming my car and replacing the regulator.. The batt charger was complete and in "float" mode"

Im switching from C&D to XS.. and Im getting 2 D975s for an absolute steal.. The batts rested at 13.3 over 13hrs off the charger. They were babied. We load tested them, and they passed with flying colors. After the load test, they raised back up to 12.75 and 12.77. With these and a D3400 under the hood, i should be all set.

Where you ordering your sky high from? Cody Johnson or Kevin Fickling.. depending on who i have the most recent conversation with lol But.. I ordered with a few others (Bryan and Kyle).. So they forwarded my portion of the order to me. Welp, I ran out to try and get the ball rolling on the a pillars. We've had this drill, extra battery, and basically every add on possible... Except the size hole saw size I needed.. So.. Well, the speaker rings weren't as "clean" as i liked.. So Ill have to try a new piece. The weather was BEAUTIFUL, so i figured Id take advantage of it and give the car a wash... This was before the wax.. ... and after..
