10lbs of sht in a 1lb bag

[Doug118]

This poor truck is busting at the seams (literally). It’s hard to fit this much equipment and still seat 5 people but we got it done

12 10” midrange
12 tweeters
4 horns
6 15” subs
~40,000 watts total

Those door panels are works of art I think.

They absolutely are. I can’t take credit for them but they are my favorite part

Wow...I've never seen a c-pillar crack like that.

Wow...I've never seen a c-pillar crack like that.

Something is going on there. Crack appears to begin at a hole drilled into the body and radiate out from there. That may be more than coincidence..? Strange for sure.

Crazy awesome build, by the way. I bet windows are rattling two states away!

The hole is a stop-drill hole to prevent the crack from spreading further. It appears to start at the window frame and they drilled the hole where the crack ends. It's standard practice to use that same technique to stop cracks from spreading on aircraft fairings and such. What I can't figure is what would cause the c-pillar to crack like that. Must be some stereo! Lol.

Never knew that.
I appreciate you helping me learn something entirely new here!

Maybe the cabin pressurized enough to "raise the roof", literally.

 

[Doug118]

He’s correct, the hole was drilled to drop the crack from spreading more. Here’s what the sheetmetal looks like on the inside

Speaking of roofs, we had to reskin the roof because it was ripped in several places

Ahh...the result of an accident?

Those subs are tearing that thing apart LOL.

The result of one of the loudest gmt900 trucks in the world

When your stereo tears your truck apart at the seams.

I think that's around the same area @TahoeOn30s' split.

Probably can't listen to the sound system with all the windows closed...
But I am wondering, if the windows are even safe inside the doors when down.
They probably rattle inside the doors like a can of marbles and shatter anyway.

That might be a problem either way.

Hmmm... These are the kinds of problems that must be fun trying to engineer solutions for!

I can't afford to blow up my daily, but it is fun to see all the experiments you all are doing.

Keep posting on the project! Thanks!!!

Leaving all the windows up just causes issues like ripping regulators out of the doors or ripping the regulator itself in half. The truck has gotten to a point where it can really only be played at full volume when parked with the doors open and I’m cool with that because it’s not enjoyable sitting inside of it

The glass is fine with the windows down now that I’ve reinforced a bunch of things. Because, the glass would hit the window motor and it actually destroyed the tint on both front windows

I see you’re from Ma, we have audio shows on the RI/MA line just about every month and have one in 2 weeks. You should come check it out

Maybe someday, I can make it. I work weekdays every weekend, with two Fridays off a month.
If I go, I'll have to park far away. 1) So my windows don't get blown; and 2) nobody will see me come in with a stock system. It's a Bose, but still...

Is it a truck or a big a$$ stereo system on wheels? The vibration from the bass is probably what is shaking it apart. If you amp up a fart it will break glass! Image what your truck(?) will do!
