wow, you guys have some nice stuff, im a hunting guide part time right now so mine is full of hunting crap.

 

Just realized I never posted mine in this thread, so here it is!

 

Looks good Renton. I like that setup.

 

2000 ford ranger....what i "had" alpine 9835 deck,mtx8001d,4-infinity 12's(all 3 stolen 3 weeks ago)
front-6.5" infinity kappa,rear-5x7 infinity kappa
200 amp alt,optima yellow top deep cycle/start,1farad cap(soon to be upgraded)
new stuff on the way....alpine 9887,tc8001,4 infinity 12's.....and buying amp for highs
i gutted the whole truck and put dynomat in the whole truck minus the doors
box sits off the ground so the subs fire to the floor

 

OUCH!

I'm feelin' for ya, man! I've had my stuff swiped before too. (If I find that b@$t@rd that swiped my bagpipes he's DEAD!!) Hope some of it is found or tracked.

-Chance

 

Another reason why I don't have a flashy system or drive around with the bass pumping and the windows down. People watch and wait.

 

what makes u think that i do???? i drive my work truck 98% of the time, did people know what i had? yes, so thats why i know it was someone who knew me and knew where i worked, seeing they cut a 6' fence at my job (only truck in our fence) on a hunch of just maybe something being in the truck, and my better gut feeling says its someone from the body shop i just had my truck at that found out where my truck was.....they worked for that box and im sure it gave them hell so thats why i laugh at them.....and i pay insurence for a reason but next time they wont get anything

and no i dont have a flashy system and no i dont jam it everywhere, thats why i love the gain **** for the amp because i turn it all the way down

 

people lie and wait...some jus walk by and look...i caught 2 guys in walmart standing by my truck looking in...but now...2 1/2 percent tint makes it hard to see in the back

 

just a simple sealed box for the 2 elemental designs 9kv.3's just a temp box till the spring time when it is warm enough for me to show everyone what a real fiberglass box looks like.

 

it was on the back side of the building in the gate u cant just look from the gate and see in it.......side window 35%,ext cab window has 35% plus factory tint,rear window is double limo

 

lol they been scoping you for a while...or could been someone u knew

 

Could've even been someone that seen your system on a website like Cardomain or a forum site too. All I'm saying is, be careful what you post. It's not always the poor that steals, or kids.

 

i have said it before. steal my stereo i dont care thats why i have insurance on it. i think of it as i get to pick out new stuff and rebuild. and thats why you should have a 2 way 1mile range alarm on the truck.

 

i should have some pics of my new system some time new week got to get paid first

 

it was someone that knew me or knew what was in the truck and knew where i worked...how many cut a fence open to go after one truck the only truck in that yard that they have no idea whats in it??? on top of that the truck was wiped down they knew what they wanted they knew how to get it, that box i had was from the bottom on the window to the floor and from one side of the truck to the other......they worked to get that box out of the truck without removing the seat inwhich thats how it was installed,,,,,,,i had cds,volt meter,jumper cables, all they wanted was the radio subs and amp oh and my bottle of curve

oh and i forgot thats not a daily drivin truck it had been parked there for about a week or so plus it just came out of the body shop acouple weeks prior so thats why i think it was someone from teh body shop that dug through the truck and i guess found out where i worked

 

makes since....nice truck though...

 

"No officer, that big wrench isn't a "WEAPON" it's to tighten the ball on my hitch." lol

My box is bolted through the floor and the screws holding the speakers and the amp in are 8 sided pin center security screws. Sure someone could get it and take the stuff if they really wanted too, but they'd better bring a sledge, cause that's the only way you'll get the box out. Maybe some ear plugs too....because the Viper is LOUD lol

I had the windows limo tinted. Sure it's illegal.....bah. I've been pulled over before and he didn;t say anything about it. It's not a vette or a mustang. It's a Ranger lol I even had the back ones done again over the factory tint.

Out of sight and out of mind.

I don't really crank it up in town much or at all for that matter. I like knowing that if a good song comes on, I can jam it or I had a bad day at work, I can rattle my troubles away lol

But I know what you're saying. Someone is always out to get something for nothing. If my truck was an everyday driver, it wouldn't have a system.

 

LOL my dd does...and its jus thrown back there...but everyone in my small hick town knows that if it comes up missing then when i find out who did it and i will...well they will be "missing"

 

I was just looking for someone with the infinity's. How do you like them? And I have to ask, where did you get the box! its F***ing Sweet! Im wanting to put a system in the truck when i get back from Iraq, but im not sure what to get... I have heard really good things about infinity though.

 

damn thats a nice box.. but why does it have infinity and rockford fosegate logos?? all i see is infinity.. oh wait nvm i see the rf logo on the amp, my bad.. still a nice box.. has to be custom??

 

my setup right now.....gotta exponent amp pushin the polk/momo 12. whenever i can get the time, i am going to go by our teams audio sponsor and see what they come up with so it can be attached to the truck instead of just sitting there.

 

i really like that infinity set up

 

just a infinity sticker that comes with the subs stuck on the plexiglass and thats some time in the box and cuttin the plexiglass to fit those fans

do have them setup to do a push pull action or all blowing in or what???? and do they circulate enough air to keep everything cool???

 

Thanks for the comments guys.

As far as the speakers, I love them. A buddy of mine runs them in his S-10 Xtreme and loves them too and they have a 4 year warranty! Can't argue with that lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking any other speaker because I've heard Kicker, MTX and Polk setups that sound amazing. I guess I really went with Infinity because he was big into doing bass competitions bace when he was younger and he knew more about it then I did.

The box was custom made.....by me....and the frustration level that came with putting the counter top laminate on the outside was borderline numbing lol It came out good though....took a little time, but I'm pleased with the result. It's made of 3/4 fiberboard underneath and covered with counter top laminate instead of the usual carpet. All the wiring is hidden under the box and I wired up a relay so that he head unit could activate the amp and the fans.

The amp is a Rockford POWER T100001 BD amp and it's only running at about a third of its max power. The reason I got an oversized amp is so that it wouldn't need to be getting hot everytime I ran it. Heat kills electronics. The fans are 80mm quad LED computer fans. The two on the front pull air in and the top fans pull it out. The amp has a fan on it already, but I like to keep air circulating inside the box.

That's about it. It took a while to get everything done....but I'm really happy with the outcome. It sounds great and I've found that with the Pioneer 3 way speakers I put in the 4 factory locations and the two subs, the AC/DC live album almost blows you out of the windshield lol

 

not to knock your system because i looks good. you should swap out your 3ways for a set a components and then your system will sound 10 times better, better midbass response and cleaner crisper highs. and be careful running an amp with that much power on the infinity's because they are notorious for having issues if they are fed too much power i am talking like as little as 25watts over rms, i have seen burnt coils,broken spiders and tinsels, more in those subs than any other brands.
