I will for sure! Because I have not heard them either -- despite having owned them for about 10 years - maybe even longer! LOL
I bought them for a project I was doing and then decided to go with one smaller "lesser" amp.... so they sat. Then I was going to use them in my '32 Highboy -- but that was a true roadster - so "stereo" was a complete waste.... then I sent 'em down to Roy Brizio for the '33 build - he said "no way - the car doesn't get a stereo and certainly not something that size --- so they sat some more. Finally - I have a spot behind the seat for them and at this point I would have made them build a box under the bed for them ---- because this is my last chance at any of this.... so "f it" -- they're in !
Gwen isn't in to "noisy" / lumpy cammed up hot rods.... and she was the only reason this truck is being built -- I was trying to sell it back in 2016 when I blew off all my other stuff.... and she said NO -- She wanted it completed.... so since she'll end up with it - I asked for a little quieter mufflers... (and added the cut outs for me!).....
Actually -- I'd thought about turning the truck in to a track day toy -- just a "dare to be different" -- I'd have put Roadster Shops more competition chassis under it -- and nastied up the motor some more -- and made room for some fat Hoosiers.... LOL Would have been cool to show up for a track day in an old truck... but that was mostly just a passing thought (maybe passing gas IDK). I really just wanted it to cruise around Sun Valley versus a "normal" car/truck...
What I did know for sure was.... I didn't want a Riviera.... LOL |
