Where are you at in Conklin? That's my stomping ground right now for work, I'm currently contracted to Statoil but I've been at Meg, Cenovus, and all the Devon sites.

Wow, it was like 105 degrees here yesterday.

That wiring looks great. Gotta respect the extra effort bc I know how much a pita it can be. Well done.

Subscribed! Awesome build so far. I'm OCD so nice job on the wiring and labeling, this is always very helpful when you get to wiring the amp and have to figure out which wires go to which speaker. I keep a AA battery handy to bump the speakers when this happens.

You're in a construction camp, that's why. You'd be amazed at what some of the camps are like up there now for operations and maintenance staff, construction and drilling get screwed big time.

My company does a specialized insulation system that I'm here training some guys on. We stayed at Christina Lake the first night here.

Looks like I'm in the wrong line of work!

Snakeskin looks awesome.

How do you think we can afford to do all this crazy stuff to our trucks? Gotta spend it somehow since the wife and I have no kids, dual income, and can only travel so much because of her work schedule. Of course, I've spend more on the truck that the wife likes... or knows about, lol.

I've been delinquent in keeping up with my build logs. I finally finished the install and just as I fired everything up my 600/4 started popping fuses. I need to send it out to JL to get it repaired because there seems to be a short on the power supply. I haven't run this thing since it was in the car crash 2 years ago so that could have been a contributing factor, but the 900/5 that it was stacked on is fine.

I build my on-axis tweeter pods and they're roughed in but not fully finished yet.

Then they got wrapped and glassed together

I have them sanded down and installed just to get things tuning but since that's now down the drain I'll be working on them for the next couple of days to get them smoothed out and painted.

Nice dude, driver seat is starting to look like a **** pit with all the screens and gauges. U know what your going to use to paint the sails? I still can't find an exact match


Nothing more annoying than getting ready to fire everything up and one one component shuts the whole operation down.

Nice work, are they going to be press fit or will you be able to screw them down?
