SUB BOX!!! Almost ready...
Single sub face

I'll have 3 of these for sides. A portion of the box will house the amp.
It should be done by Friday!

I finished my box yesterday
It's got a little leak but it doesn't mess with the sound. My shop teacher thought it sounded really good. The box volume is 1.55 cubic feet, it's got a good low thump now

Yep lol. I's a 4"x18" off of a buddy of mine's truck. Picked it up for $10. I'm getting my exhaust done on Monday at 3:00 
I'll definitely have pictures up, and hopefully a sound clip. Straight piped with a cat and piped out to 2.5"

Ha, yeah. My composition teacher got the class into a debate on loud exhaust. It was him against us!
I cleaned up the wiring for my lights and stuff today. I ran them through where the clutch slave would be on a manual. Since my one KC is burned out and it's getting warmer, I cut the wire going to the lights and spliced it into the fan harness so my electric fan works again
Tomorrow's my last day of driving without exhaust... I see no work getting done tomorrow at school So excited!!!

Got my exhaust done!!! 2.5" straight pipe with a PC Cat and cheapo tip. So happy with it.
A guy who came in for some pipe had an XJ. When the the guy fired up my jeep I was told it sounds really good and then he asked me if it had the 318. Told him no, 4.0 to which he responded "You mean that's a V6, straight six, kjdshafkjhfjk, MY TRUCK COULD SOUND LIKE THAT?" Totally worth $140. I love it.

This past Tuesday has got to be the best Tuesday ever.
I started school with a first responder's call and ended the school day with one. A firetruck got stuck on a min maintenance road so me and my best friend were all horny for mud. So we got this:
Had to break it in for the 250th-k mile!
