Got some more speaker housings today. Really working hard to drop upper cage weight but finding it tough for speaker placement. Pulling down our 2 upper Jeep 6 speaker bars seriously drops weight but kills off great placement. Not ready to get rid of our 4-6.5 Infinity’s but the 8 tweeters can easily find lower placement.
Ordered the SSV Works floor mount enclosures but they just sucked up too much space on the footrest I so like so they went back.
As we all know options are minimal in the 1000. Back doors can accept 6.5 low down but loose a lot of quality muffled by passengers and will loose everything with rear seats down. Placement behind rear seats is crap and front of box restricts seat or bed use.

So...s*** back up top. We never take roof off because it’s important to rub trees even hot out so these will be perm mount to the roof in optimum placement. These pods are as light and small as I could find for a real sized speaker. It’s a pretty good weight saver and still much lighter then aluminum all in one bar. We run a big Boss bar in the Yami but upper weight isn’t a concern in that. Pissed I’m back up top with weight but it did drop a little and sound quality is still premium. Will use insulation in the housings to increase quality due to the small housings but these do have more room then prior.

Where did you get those?

eBay. It was 118 for 4 so I thought that a bit much but they are very lightweight and look like they’ll take some abuse.
I will be pulling out the Infinity head unit (going into the camper van) and replacing it with this (sticking with all Infinity) since I don’t need a powered head unit due to having amps.Still simple to use for family and will be mounted more directly in front of driver

That opens up the center section for an iPad mini in a Pelican case. Fits awesome. I want maps/tunes and ability to commute from a permanent spot. Don’t want this mounted up high or on a swivel, need it to be more solid.

Heavy hats = flop! HA! Just for the record! I have enough issues without adding weight to the roof!

Yep. She’s loosing weight anywhere possible and will be much lighter then Puddle Jumper.

So could I Nothing is set in stone right yet just gathering items. Do have a pretty good idea of what I want and don’t anymore. We all need a little different setup

Well @joeymt33 the snorkel lasted 2 1/2 years so I suppose that’s not too bad. Thank you so much again for that and also the simple but effective intake through the hood idea. I’ve loved it not only for protection but the bad ass sound and the look.

The intake tube survived however the snorkel not so much. Clutch finally gets her own but that’s one of the things I wish had survived because a friend had given me that!
Keeping the “Joey Snorkel” as part of the setup, need a new hole in a hood as it was destroyed as well, currently running a red one without, haven’t decided on color yet.

That’s one of my favorite mods BA! Don’t forget to get u a fancy clamp for that

I should do something with mine still running factory 16' intake

I really thought originally I wouldn’t like the obstruction but it doesn’t bother at all. Love the Indy car sound.

Move it to the side it’s even more out of the way.

That’s a good idea, I probably would’ve went that way originally if looking at the two. Doesn’t bother me at all where it’s at and is a tribute to our original Pioneer anyways. It’s in your face, I still love it.

4 years ago today. Makes one think. Get kinda choked up sometimes when the the phone pops up with one of these dates in time.

My oldest helping my daughter first time on scope. She’s a good shot.

Lots of good memories, no regrets with things just wish there was more time. Not getting any younger, there’s still so much to do and room to improve on what’s been done. I appreciate all those great people in my life that have made things better including many on this site. Going to work hard to have a better year coming up, life is too short to half ass.

Talon showed up today, just gotta assemble.
Lol.
First box for the Pioneer to ever show up on a freight truck. Even a Honda crate Fork lift would’ve been nice! All the new OEM Honda parts are finally here.

 

[100Acre]

I wonder if Honda will ever make Blimps? It could be like “ Try the New Honda” “ Blimp in a Box” they’d probably sell millions....everybody be flying!

 

[100Acre]

Use the boxes to build homes for the gnomeless...

Just caught up on the carnage and the fixing and goodies to come. Glad to hear you walked away from that.

Add me to the list of envy bystanders watching as well.
