I hope she moves again! Unless it was ran really low and got hot, you're probably OK.

That would be best case scenario.

At least it is an E40D and not the 4r70. It won't tear up the internals as bad if you run it low.

Yea, it wasn't hot when I got there, they were making short runs to town and back. Picking up some 2X's, between 5 and 10 minutes away. It wasn't far, nothing reading on the stick tho. Hope 5 quarts is enough....should be.

This .035 INE flux core is some pretty good wire. I used the Titanium .030 that came with the welder, and it eventually kept getting stuck. After 4 or 5 times having to stop and fix the roll, I made the switch. What an immediate difference.

Amazon Amazon

The steel my Buddy have me worked out well. Didn't have any issues blowing through it. Just existing/thin metal. I'm a rookie... so it's not perfect.



I also tried out one of the new subs in The Eight Nine. Took out my MA Audio and threw in one of the Audio Legion's. I like them. I'm going to pick up a sheet of MDF and go over to my Buddy's house and get building - probably next weekend.

Not sure on the welding, are you going to fill that hole or something ? Looks like some healthy speakers

That's the back side of the panel I put in my hatch. I'd do it different now, but it is what it is. It's not going anywhere, LOL. EDIT: The hole is needed to mount the spoiler. It's 5/16" hole.

Any recommendations on welding goggles?

Oh, yeah... the subs are both decent. Neither are top of the line, but I listen to rock/metal for the most part. I'm not entering bass wars, LOL.
