Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I've done it (texture) on stuff & liked the results. Wheels obviously are a different ballgame....

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Had some free time today, but it was too cold to paint wheels, so I set to work installing bigblock73's corner mounted 6x9 brackets. High quality, excellent fitting pieces that sound WAY better than my old boxes that were stuck in the corner. Two thumbs way up!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Much mo' betta! Actually can hear the 6x9s now. I did line the cavity with heat/sound deadener and the inside of the panel with 'dynamat', to kill any tinny-ness. I'm quite satisfied with the sound quality.
Thanks! I think they turned out nice for the effort involved. Check with member bigblock73- he will do another run if he has enough interest. Quote:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
As mentioned bigblock73 (Jeff) is the man to contact for your very own set. He originally designed them for his own project and had a demand for more. Now he has ventured out and is making them for you 67-72 guys. Great person to deal with too.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Wow, I've missed this build from the get go. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up. I just finished reading through the 6th page and I know I need to check in so I don't forget to finish reading. I've lost track of so many builds by not check posting to subscribe. I have to refrain myself from jumping to the end to see the finished product. It all Looks great so far. I can't wait to finish reading through.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Tested out my wheel finish on one of the fronts tonight. I think it turned out pretty decent. The paint is glossier and darker than I wanted, but I think it will work. Just gotta do the other three now...
