El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 And it only cost me $3. Here's how it went. Start with 1 truck, circa 1959 http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To009.jpg one RCA coupler http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To011.jpg one RCA iPod splitter http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To012.jpg two shitty boombox speakers, RCA jacks http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To013.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To014.jpg one iPod 80GB http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To015.jpg and one roll electrical tape (maybe going to duct tape when this all fails) http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To017.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Step 1: Tape speakers down to something really unsecured, so as to make the whole thing really dangerous and more insecure Right: http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To018.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To019.jpg Left: http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To020.jpg http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w147/caxidea/How-To021.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bam Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is this a joke or you seriously gonna rock this?

I'm not gonna drive it around until I have something alittle more.......solid to keep that left speaker in. Fortunately, there's a step inside the door where EVERYTHING in this truck falls, and its big enough that if the speaker came loose it'd just fall in there. Still, I'm gonna use a lot more tape, maybe use some L-braces to keep it over there. I was just going for that pre-Pimp My Ride look with this thing.

It sounds pretty good, I'm actually astonished that an iPod could even power these speakers at all, even though its not THAT loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 This thread is pretty funny. Nice work I guess. I still don't have an Ipod In my 05, I listen to Sirius though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted May 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 That truck is fuckin sweet! Thanks, man, I appreciate all the comments I get on it. something kinda awful happened the other day; I filled up the tank with 93 and left it out at Bob-Boyd (I drive for them, my neighbor is one of the owners). Well, it was in the sun and the gas expanded and leaked out of the oldass gas cap, and since the paint isn't clearcoated it basically peeled a huge stripe directly down from the gas cap to the bottom and it looks like complete shit. I was so pissed off I was about to kill someone, and as I'm driving home a guy in an F-350 passes me, honks, and gives a thumbsup. Its fucking amazing how much that compliment helped my day cuz even though the truck was completely fucked from my point of view, that guy still saw it for the monstrous piece of history it is. Man, maybe I'll wash it and post pics soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
