So, Seeing as how this seems to be the best strictly car audio forum going these days. And, maybe if I actually start a thread it will keep me motivated to finish a system.
Here goes nothing:
Ever since I started my own business two years ago, I have been sharing whips with the wife. We have a 2004 F150 SuperCrew (hers!) and a 2010 Camaro "ours".
I usually drove the Camaro because I drive more (she works from home), and the Ford gets terrible mileage. I hate that damn Camaro. Especially since we bought it
Because she wanted it. And, now she prefers her truck anyways. Whatever!
I grew tired of that situation. And, finally a screamin' deal on a vehicle more to my liking fell in my lap. (and more importantly, I actually had the money to do something about it when it did!)
A 2004 Dodge 3500 4x4 heavy-duty. My kind of rig!
So, no more Camaro full-time. I have my own ride now that does not need to be shared. That means I can rip & tear in to it without worrying about momma getting pissed.
If I have to drive for a week or two with no door panels, so be it. A big, square, hard subwoofer box for a console? Fine by me! Momma would never let that fly in her truck, LOL.
You guys get the point. My truck. The other nice thing: I picked it up cheap (well, cheap for a one-ton 4x4 diesel anyways). It looks good in the picture. And, its not totally destroyed.
But, its nowhere near new either. So, a little cut here, scratch there, rig-job over here.......I wont care. No big deal, its not a show truck. I now have something I have been lacking
since I started the business. A great platform to tinker with.
Speaking of the business. I have done pretty much nothing but work for the last two years. Everything has been about the shop in one way or another.
Even the little bit of stereo play I have done, has been in the shop!
Don't get me wrong, I love the shop. But, I think my mind needs a little break. Hopefully this will be a nice stress reliever. Or I will just get crazy busy again, and never finish it LOL, time will tell.
Maybe if I have a build thread it will keep me motivated.
