Better be glad you don't live in Kentucky. I heard some fat bitch wont let you marry your car.

Do you have an online blog/journal depicting the daily life of the RS-6?

Yes.

More importantly, are you afraid to fart in it?

At my age and with what i eat I never trust a fart.

No but its in a group on FB.


So on to the fun stuff! We were a bit slow this morning and I knew I had two hours before the tow truck would arrive so I figured I would take 10 minutes to swap the subs around. Of course nothing goes as planned. LOL I pulled out the Alpine and set it next to the Boston on the table and knew right away this was not gonna work. I knew they were the same depth but I forgot how massive the motor structure is on the Boston, heck it weighs almost double what the Alpine does. Go for a test fit and the motors braces hit the box since the box was molded around the Alpines magnet. So I set off to build some spacers and then think about it and realize the Boston is going to fill the entire box. I went math stupid and messed up calculations pretty bad. Looks like with the Boston in there it would only have .3-.35 cubic feet. No wonder the Alpine struggled to hit low notes. Box is just way too small. So I decided to invert it instead as some smart people suggested. So I threw all the polly-fill back in (also made sure the surround was not going to rub the hole) and got it in. Powered it up and was a bit disappointed. While it did sound nicer and play deeper it just wasn't the sub i remembered. My buddy (who was watching the whole install and loves my misery) reminded me that these Bostons dont like polly-fill in small boxes. Duh! So I pulled out the polly-fill and there she was! The deep rich bass I always loved. Too bad I only had 15 minutes to play with it before the tow truck arrived. Was a kick ass 10 minutes though. That sub really growls! Cant wait to tune it in and really play with it and get it broken in. Suspension is very stiff right now so I am careful not to send more than 100 watts to it until it loosens up a bit.

Just wish Boston would have doe a better job on their leveling of the silk screening. LOL

Not sure yet how I feel about the way it is mounted. I may just make that location stock again and make a regular proper size box and mount it under the deck on the opposite side of the battery box. Wouldnt be hard to make one that mimicked the battery box.

And guys, look I realize a 12 year old 4 door means little to nothing to a lot of you guys. Most of you have bad ass cars like CTSVs , new GTs, Shelbys, Corvettes, Miatas and shit. So me being all excited and posting pics of my old family sedan do seem absurd. I even step back and realize how stupid it seems but I just get excited over cars, all kinds. But when it is a car I wanted so freakin bad for so long and to put in those 70 hour weeks and sweat my ass off and work on peoples cars that do nothing but swear at me or trucks that are filled with used chaw and maggots in a chicken box that I have to move to replace a blower motor, well I am just proud to have made it there. I had that goal and held on to it and achieved it. I feel really good about that and i am so used to feeling bad and sore that being this happy and excited, well I felt like sharing it with all those I have come to kinda know and respect. I wanted to do it DFW baller style and walk in a dealership with that special car in your head and point at it and say "Ill take that one." and just whip out a wad of cash and buy it straight up. Felt like a gangsta yo!
I missed that feeling of being at a stop light and looking around at every other car and thinking to myself "I could blow the doors off of every single car around me."
With my truck it was more like "Bet I could take that Yaris."

I knew that the jokes would be plentiful though. THIS IS DFWM!!!

I may have to apologize for ordering these though. Car has chrome ones on it now and they just dont match anything. Figured for $10 that these were kinda neat. LOL

Ban him for buying valve stem caps! Cool car brotha! Love me a solid Audi, I almost bought an S4 a few months ago.

Good luck. It always seems to be something with those cars. There are certain model year audi's that are ticking time bombs. I've got an 02' S6 V8 Avant at my shop right now with a 6 speed swap. It's gonna be pretty neat when I finish it.
