Hello all,

For those who remember, before I dropped off the face of the earth in November '03, I was making custom kick panels, enclosures, and other audio related stuff for 3rd gens.

So now that I'm back in the US I'd like to gradually get back into it. The website is still down for now. I'm going to start offering the MDF enclosure plan sets again at $15 per set shipped. The plans include detailed instructions, 3-D assembly pictures, and a full-size template for the top plate. I'm still working on the re-designed kick panels so they can be reproduced. They probably won't be ready for quite awhile.

I used to be considered a sponsor and allowed to advertise on this board. If that's changed, I'm sure the moderators will let me know

It's great to be back! I'll be posting pics of my rebuilt car soon.

 

Glad to see that you're getting back into things.

 

Glad to see you're back!!

 

HOORAY!!

 

Welcome back. Will stealth boxes be making a come back too?

 

Thanks for the welcomes!

After the kick panels are going, I'll probably start working on a stealth design for the passenger side. The driver side design was small and expensive and didn't generate a lot of interest.

For the moment I'm working on installing my new setup with (2) OZ Matrix Elite 12's, (2) PPI powerclass amps, OZ components (front), Diamond components (rear), and a Clarion DXZ945 optimedia.

I got the second battery installed yesterday and started the pods for the rear components.

 

you should sell front kickpanels!

 

He is dude...

 

I guess I misinterpreted what he was saying, I thought he was making some for his personal use... not for sale.

well that's cool

 

I guess you're new enough to the car audio board that you may not have been around back when he was selling kicks and boxes. Before his military obligations took him around the world, he was building and selling enclosures and kick panels.

 

alrighty.

 

awesome , glad to see you made it back safely .

 

Glad to see you are safely home.... i cant wait til you get teh kickpanels rolling because with my experience cutting mdf rings for my subs.. i dont wanna even mess with the smaller craps..

 

Glad you're back! Let us know when the website is back up and running!

 

Put me down for a set of kicks as soon as theyre ready:-D

DLS here i come...:-D

 

well rez i need a subbox for either side, i hate seeing the box and taking up the space. so i want one.

 

And damn good ones, at that.

 

so whats the status of the sub box, i really want a stealth one, and did you get my pm rez.

 

I had the q logic kiks and they sucked. I'll buyyours if they fit better....when they're ready that is.

 

I'm curious, what 'sucked' about the Q-Logic kickpanels?

they are small sealed enclosures, are they not? or are they open to the car chassis?

the imaging looks very similar to all the custom one's I've seen, but the price is a bit steep for me.

 

welcome Home. Glad you made it safely.

 

just wanted to say welcome home, we're all glad you made it back safely. good luck getting the business up and running again.

 

Sounds like a local legend! Nice to meet you.

 

I just bought a new stereo so I am interested in whatever your selling...

 

First off, welcome home! Thank you for your service in Iraq.

Keep us informed, I definitely would like to purchase a few things from you. Let us know when you have a website back up.

 

If that is the case, I genuinely thank you for fighting for the freedom that I breathe on a daily basis.

#%#$ the war.... But Support our Troops

 

Nice to see you're back! I'm also interested in the fiberglass stealth boxes you were building for the drivers' side compartment.

 

Thanks for the support as usual guys!

I could start making driver side stealth boxes if somebody wants one, just PM me. They're 100% fiberglass, hold up to a single 10" and have .53 cu.ft. of airspace. It takes 3-4 weeks after payment to get it shipped out. The cost is $230 shipped. It sounds expensive, but if you've ever tried to make a sealed enclosure with 100% fiberglass (No MDF, grille cloth, etc.) then you'd understand.

The website will probably be up after the kick panels are ready. I'm expecting to start selling kicks again in early July.

 

hey rez what about a pass side one, and do you have pics of the drivers side one, ive only seen real old ones , do you have any updated pics of the drivers side. And on to the pass side, will it be able to hold a 12" sub?

 

wow no MDF i cant even imagine how to do that...

 

Is the website going to return?

 

The website will come back after I start getting some revenue from kick panels.
I'll try and dig up some pics of the driver side stealth box. I think I only have the ones that were posted to my site.
The passenger side version will be able to hold a 12" and probably have 1-1.25 cu.ft. I don't think that one will be ready for production until late summer or fall.

 

Wow, you left in 03? Damn, I feel old!

Glad to see you are back!

 

Welcome back!

Like always, I'm interested.

 

i was just thinking "what was the name of that site that sold plans for boxes?" i typed it in and it was not there, a search led me to this thread. glad to see you are back. so these stealth driver side boxes, does anyone have a picture or are they still in the planing stage?

i am interested in a single sub type of setup, as stealth as possable of course. can't wait till the site is back up.

again welcome home and thanks for serving our nation.

 

/off topic

did you get any confirmed kills? If so, how many?

 

are those plans for 2 12's? how much airspace?

 

I killed about 30 paper targets and 12 sheets of plywood at the range with the 50 cal, does that count?

The plans will hold 2 12's, but there's limited depth and only 2.12 cu.ft. of airspace. I followed the plans when I made my box, but just added 2" to the height all around and ended up with about 3cu.ft. The top of the box is just above the bottom of the storage box on the driver side, The box still opens for battery access

 

hey , rez, just to let you know when ever you make the pass side stealth box i want the first one , ill have money for you as soon as its done , so theirs one order for a pass side stealth box for a 12

 

lemme join the crowd; welcome back.

 

Yep definetly good to see you made it back. I still have your kickpanels you made for me back in 03. They are awesome they were black and matched my GTA perfectly. When i close my doors you can't even see them in there they blend in so nicely. Ive had lots of people ask where i got them, and they seemed interested in buying them. Ill recommend you anytime i get the chance.

 

Welcome back man. I joined after you left, but i saw some of your posts while archive-diving... Thank you so much for what you've done while overseas man, we all appreciate it.


how much do you think you will be selling the kick-panels/3'cu. dual 12" sub boxes for? I may be in the market this fall/winter and im curious...

 

I'd like to say welcome back too and thanks for your service. Just when I had money for a system for my car you left! As soon as your site is up I will be purchasing kick panels and a box. Just let us all know when you have things running smoothly again.

 

Cool, thanks guys! Kick panels will be first up starting this month hopefully. Then we'll see where it goes from there.

 

Welcome back Im currently in iraq and looking forward to getting home. Thanks for serving!!

Not bad hi speed internet in my room

 

kick ***... did you just purchase it through the army, or through a local Iraq company, or a U.S. company?
