The BS Daycare but no build thread

Couldn't find anyone to spoon better with while at Moab.

Unlike @JKO1998 who locked himself in his truck. He didn't wanna cuddle with anyone.

 

It was unlocked

but bucket seats don't make a good cuddle spot

 

Plus you were way too drunk so...

 

Sad that @BartMaster1234 didn't even offer one of his rooms in the Marriott.

 

I offered you and Jaxon big spoon

 

You wanted to record us

 

So I posted this up elsewhere but now it gave me an idea.

Long story short, I fabbed up an amp and crossover bracket for a local Land Cruiser owner and it got me wanting to put a subwoofer and amp in my own.

I've wanted to for awhile, just dealing with a case of the "I don't wannas".

Some pics of what I did for him.

Here's the "skeleton" I cut. This serves as the base for everything since MDF will be attached to one side (facing inward), and crossovers attach to the MDF (facing outward) via the openings to keep things hidden. Amp of course goes on the MDF side.



There will be no drilling into the interior panels or any weird shit like that. Also, he wanted to keep the panels on so we went with using the 3rd row seat mounts.

Here are the brackets being cut and bent.





Fitment is fucking mint.



I was back and forth between square tube and rod, until I decided to opt for 1/2" rod. Now I didn't get any pictures of it but it took a lot of heat to finally bend it on a vise.

Here's how it'll go.



With dimensions figured out, got the tacked into place.



All welded up.



Everything above was again, for a customer however I now want to pursue buying a mono amp and making a smaller version of this mount.

In my case, I would mount the amp facing outward to keep it hidden from view and proceed with finally adding a subwoofer to my setup.

 

Seemed like you're having too much time on your hands....

@Yota X

 

Well it's side work, I fab from home if you recall

 

@Kwikvette runnin all angles. But, those 3rd/4th genners are prob on that kind of shit too. They will let the dealer tell them the howl in the rear end is normal then spend 5k on bolt ons. Perfect customer.

 

Talk about bolts.... I finally organized my shit. $500 Global Industrial bin rack with probably $1k worth of misc RockfordG5, G8, G8.8, G10.9 of all sizes and length bolts, nuts, split washer, and flat washer. Took all effin day to organize and semi done

 

Dude...I went to Fastenal today in Sanger only to find out they don't do retail anymore WTF?!

And really I could've just gone to your house?

I need 2x 5/16" carriage bolts at 1" to 2" long; need them tomorrow

 

Shouldn’t you be picking locks??

 

You must be rich!!!!!

I fucking need that shit too. Just bought a tool box but that is 100% next investment. Sick of making everything with 10-24 or 1/4. Just makes things better with the capability to set size to application.

 

Why when I'm working on the key to your heart

 

Don’t fabricate and drink

 

Who does one without the other though

 

More like spending more $$ than I need. I was fed up with looking for bolts and u end up buying more bolts. For example, 1/2-13 size, I have maybe 100 bolts and 100 nuts. Haha. Now, it's organized, no more buying
