    Good story Ric....
    I always tell my guys, measure twice, cut once... A sheet of stainless isn't cheap.

    As long as we are telling stories on ourselves, years ago I got into leather work and decided to try making a holster. Checked, double checked, measured, measured again and ended up with the nicest left handed holster you have ever seen. Except I'm right handed. :lol:

    Not a derail at all, seems right on topic

    When I had my amps, speaker and Sub installed I went to a high end install shop JML AUDIO - Photo Gallery - Mini Cooper

    They pulled off all the door panels and flooring and installed sound deadening material, in that process the owner explained diff products for different parts of the car. On the floorboards you want to remove road noise and the frequencies associated with that. On the door panels you are looking to remove wind and traffic so diff frequencies. He also set up some whiz bang stuff in both the door speakers and under the sub to reflect sound back up

    Likely it's all the same stuff and you can buy it at home dept of $1/yd but it sounded like a good investment at the time. Cue idiot with credit card driving chili red MINI..... :D

    Damn it sounds sweet though

    Thanks MM. My radio sounds different now. Not better exactly, but different. Perhaps because there is more room back there for the sound to bounce around in. :D

    Yepper, according to the calculations I made with my trusty slide rule, I should be able to get about 174 dozen back there. That should be enough for half the MOM members. :Thumbsup:

    I'll bet MM still has a slide rule, but there are some reading this and scratching their heads. :lol:
