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

I tried to sell the project when it was still at Pinkee's in 2016. Gwen wanted it completed.

The difference between Gwen and Shirley.... Shirley just wants you to spend more time in Arizona.

LOL
