here i am on the roof with one of my boxes (yes on the roof)...

sorry for the quality

 

...

 

sorry here it is...

 

im having my girlfriend take the pictures and she misses me droping it the first time. so i take it back up and try it again. she takes it this time but its on the ground by the time the camera gets it. she decides she rather me take the picture so she goes up on the roof (she was scared ****less by the way). so here it is...

 

here is the damage of the 3 drops...

the first pic is of the scuff mark on the side, its barely noticable in the pic and not much more noticable close up.

the second is the only other damage on the box that i could see. its very hard to see in the pic so ill tell you its grass and dirt stains (it WAS going approximately around 8 mph when it hit, im good w/ physics).

 

well, I must say, not many people would go this far to prove how good their product is. I have a box already in my car, but hey, you've got my support.

 

i didnt think youde actually do it tamu. good job ... im with CaysE on this one.:lala:

 

i appreciate you guy's support. spread the word. even i dont sell very many, i am proud of these boxes.

if anyone is interested, you can find one of my other threads or pm me.

thanks everyone for viewing,
jacob

 

That's Amazing....

I still plan on buying a box, but the money situation got tight because of an unforseen expense(brakes) so i need to hold off.......

I WILL be buying a box here soon, that experiment just makes my decision final....

 

Thats amazing. good job buddy thats definately a way to prove your boxes integrity! And if anyone ever gets rear ended with one of these puppies, Im pretty sure your gas tank will be alright
greg

 

So your saying, if i get rearended and crash my car, i can still play music waiting for the cops to come given that my battery isnt damaged???

Sweet!!!!!! Just kiddin, look like you got it pretty tough .. how much does it weigh??

 

it weighs 45 lbs, give or take a pound or 2. i cant promise that they would survive a rearending but im sure they could take more pounding than our rear bumbers .

 

See if that was my G/F (actually my wife ) I would have made sure she was under the box when I dropped it.

The reason is because her head is harder than anything you have to drop it on!!!!!! :lala:

I wanna see you drop that same box on CONCRETE!!!!

If you do that, maybe I'll buy it from you just because.

AJ

 

hey tamu,, ill gaurantee that, that box wont withstand concrete, maybe it will once, but the second time, you can say good night. even though we all know it wont with stand it, can you please do it? i think you have a large audiance now and wed like to see it.. itll be funny atleast... ..... good luck :lala: :lala: :lala: :lala:

 

hahaha... I dont see that proves how much better a hatch sub box will be seeing as how everyone knows an mdf box would break. But it would definately be worth seeing/doing if it was a vid
greg

 

ROFL, I didnt think you were actually gonna do it, but I must say thats pretty durable,

 

tamu hasn't replied in almost two days... you guys realize he's probably out on his roof right now getting ready to drop it, right?

That, or he fell off...

 

lol, hopefully well get pictures of something, or someone.

 

sorry its been so long. i am contimplating doing it just for the hell of it. problem is i dont have anything along the lines of a video camera to tape it. if i find something i may just do it and send it to the home page. that would be awesome.

thanks,
jacob

p.s. You guys are funny. thanks for looking. and anybody has some suggestions about getting it tape, tell me. i may just do it.

 

Pics like you did before would be fine.

Actually a "mid air" pic like you did with your g/f dropping it are just as good as a video tape. As long as you back up enough to see it leaving the roof, and that there is concrete under it. And YOU do it. Wouldn't want to hear about her breaking something, and the box being OK!!!!

DO IT!!!!! DO IT!!!!!! DO IT!!!!!!!

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

AJ

 

No way man a vid camera is the only way to go. A pic would be ok but it would be a waste of a perfectly good, nicely designed, strong (as we saw above ). With a camera you will get to see some some boom smash footage, get to hear a nice crunch, you would get the gf screaming and you laughing. That would be awesome. Just try and find someone around with a camera. Makes me wish I needed to buy a box... Atleast I would be giving the doe to someone whos a true subwoofer box structural integrity fan.
greg

EDIT: bonus points if you light it on fire before the drop! :rockon:

 

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!:sillylol: mega bonus points!

 

thats ****ing funny!
so tamu, when are going to see flaming boxes falling from your roof?

 

i think i'll shy away from lighting it on fire, but I'd still like to try it with the video camera.

jacob

 

this means I'm definatly buying from tamu130 when I redo my system...

 

see tamu,, your getting business here!

 

ill take whatever i can get.

 

I think you should throw the flaming box at an import from your roof , or your neighbors roof, don't want to get cought.

 

that is brilliant. maybe i can find one somewhere. ill have to find a nice one though. oh wait i think that was an oxymoron.

jacob

 

You could say "ill have to find a rice one" but then it's a redundant statment. :sillylol:

AJ

 

LOL


I would buy a box from you even if I didn't need one if you did that

 

Hey Tamu,
Usually Digital Cameras have a function to video tape for a little bit. I don't know if yours does or if you even have one but that is just a thought

 

hmmm...ill have to find the manual.

thanks for the tip

jacob

 

want to sell the one you tossed off the roof??

 

the one in the pic?

sure if u want it. if u want i can replace the top piece, unless u plan on carpeting it anyways.

jacob

 

lol,, i was just messing, but since its been abused, what would you sell it for?(just in case anyone else is interested)

 

K I have a new Idea. You have to Ride the box in the air while it flies to the ground. If it dosnt break when you land on it. I might buy one.

 

ok, yeah, im not selling boxes anymore .

if anybody want the one i dropped u can have it for $80 as is. if u want me to put on a new top piece then $85. there really isnt any damage on the rest of the box and the grass stains would not be visible when it is in your car.

jacob

p.s. and no i will not drop everyones boxes off the roof to save u 10 bucks.

 

LMFAO!!!!!! :sillylol:

I say you use the same one for the concrete and keep is as a "display model".

And just use the damn camera to take a pic. I'm getting anxious!!!!!


AJ

 

WHy?

 

hey tamu awesome box would it be possible for me to get those box measurements cause u are a little bit far away and i kinda need a box it look like it was for the back of a camaro or fire bird about a 1992 right please send those measuremeants to me

 

ok, for future reference, i will sell the measurements for $45. if anyone wants them that bad they can have them. i know it is steep but it is a business people.

i was just kidding.

i may do that, but i dont know yet.

jacob

 

No offence man but business? Man thats a rip! I can search google.com for the measurements. Or I can go out to my car and measure it myself. Geeze what are you thinking keep making the boxes and put them on ebay or something. Now that would be a good idea.

 

i dont think u understood what i meant. i keep having people ask for the measurements. if someone doesnt want one of my boxes thats fine but i can not just give away the measurements. i am stil making boxes if anyone was confused on the matter. i dont want to give anyone the measurements cause that defeats the purpose of selling them to you guys.

thanks,
jacob

 

45 is steep for measurements but when you look at it from his view he is loosing a sale more or less. Definately try ebay you should have no problem selling them for $90 there.

And if you pour some gas in your *demo* box, light it up, drop it off a roof on tape I will personally do everything I can do to endorse your box and spread the word. hell I will even make you a webpage!
greg

 

OK sorry guys, but not to just jump in someones conversation or start a flame but...this just popped in my mind with the last few replys on selling the measurements....

Say Coca-Cola comes out with a new style of bottle for there drinks that REALLY attratices the public and raises profit....

And Pepsi wants to increase profit also, do u think Pepsi is just gonna e-mail Coke up and be like...'Sup Dawg, think u could tell me the measurments of that new tight bottle so i could make one bc i can't afford to buy your bottles and fill them...its cheaper to make them YO!" (sorry had to through the ***** slang in there)

I don't think Coke would be to Kosher with that Idea, it'd defeat the purpose.

Not saying that your gonna try to sell his boxes...

But thats Just how business works myfriend...

:lala:

 

Eee Eeeee I have measurements.... + my box is sturdy too. I know I'm probably annoying but I think I'm funny. LOL
BBBBBBBAAAHAHAHAHAHAHaaa..........


<img src=https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/attachment.php?s=&postid=930789>

 

I have a feeling pepsi could afford to buy a 6 pack of coke and a measuring tape hehe...
But ya thats what I was getting at. Just cause someone asks he doesnt have to be all buddy buddy and fork over the measurements. I wouldnt...
greg

 

hahaha good job there. Is it just me or are the lighting conditions on the legs and frame different?
greg

 

and dude...u have no shadow. u should really get that checked out.
