“The 6.9” project thread

[CalIDI]

Thanks my friend. I have 2 shallow mount 10’s that are gonna go under the rear seat and a set of 4 6.5 component speakers for the doors and rear panels. I’m very excited to have it finished

That will be nice. How will you fit 10s under the rear seat? My truck is a extended cab 2 door and I can only fit 8s under there unless I do a down firing box set up... I decided on a pair of Sundown Audio SA-8s because they supposedly sound a lot like 12s... Something about the XMax rating...

That's gonna sound good!

I have a shallow mount 10" under the back seat of my Blue Truck. What I did was to raise the bottom of the back seat by 8".

Man that sounds awesome. The box will be on the tight side. I hope it doesn’t cause any issues. But my seat is also lifted with c channel. The previous owner did it but it actually looks super factory so I never noticed until recently. There’s about 8-9 inches of space underneath. I’ll grab a pic

Short people only in the back?

Cool. I would love to see it.

Yep. Either that or no people which is even better.

I’m still alive. I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving and Christmas. I bought a 2022 ttr 110. Because what’s more fun than a bike for 10 year olds (they can probably ride better than me).

I haven’t done anything to my truck since November……. Don’t be mad. I’ve been busy. Completely re-wired the engine bay on my grandads 91’ dodge. And did every single bushing on my girl’s ranger.

After this weekend, it’s my turn. So don’t lose hope yet.

I'm waiting for the You Tube videos of you riding that 110.

I know where you're coming from lol

I did some carb work on and then flipped a honda crf50. I kind of regret selling it because of how well it ran and much fun I had toying around on the thing.

The 110’s are perfect for a little rip around bike. I had a little 50 when I was younger and it was so fun.

 

[Booyah45828]

Yeah, the 50 was too small. Don't get me wrong, I still rode the hell out of it, but felt like a circus act while doing it. I'd say a 110 would be perfect.

About 20 years ago, I rode a kid's RM80 a little bit. It was fun, but I just don't like being that cramped up for very long. The last times I rode something that small, it was a friend's ATC70 with a 125cc manual clutch engine and then his Honda Trail 90 with a manual clutch 140CC engine. Both were a lot of fun to ride, but not for very long.

I do wish I had my big tall f250 right about now. Where I live in California, along with a lot of other places, experienced one of those every 10 year storms. Over 6 inches of rain. Super warm weather. A bunch of snowmelt. Our levees (not really maintained by the county) started to fail. Made for an interesting weekend. Now the ground is over-saturated and trees are coming down like crazy. We tried to anchor the tree next to our barn until the tree guy comes later this week…. They’re talking about another couple inches of rain throughout the week.

My ranger kicked ass. Almost Too much. Had water coming in the cab. I loaded the back of it with wet firewood to keep traction.

Mother Nature doesn’t give a **** about your house or politics. People get way too comfortable. Is it messed up to say that I had fun? I mean I never thought I’d be looking down at mailboxes from a kayak.

Everything else aside because I realize how bad this is, kayaking through town sounds like a blast!

Well for the most part the folks that have lived out here in the country kinda know what to expect. But there has been a ton of transplants moving in from town that got hit pretty hard. The neighbors were ripping their jet ski in our field lol
