Re: Todd217

Just did a swap with him and even though he was on the road, everything was just as he communicated. Great transaction, and I would definitely do business with him again.

Completely off topic but do you know what this thing does, HP-wise, to the wheels? This couple rolled up on me at an intersection, I looked over and saw the SS badging and immediately knew it had something in it. They told me "Corvette engine", light turned green and the girl at the wheel ...

Why is the fuel pump in the trunk ? I've never seen them beyond the back seat It is indeed in the trunk. When I swapped the engine from non-turbo to factory twin turbo I had to upgrade the fuel system as well which is the only reason I actually know where it is. Otherwise a fuel pump to me is at a ...

Help with my "beauty panels" please

Let me start off with saying that although I have been around car audio for decades and even worked at Car Toys in Portland and Tigard for several years, I've always been in sales and never in install. Frankly, I can't even tell the difference between a screwdriver and a wrench. Being happily marrie...

There's some guy trying to sell a 15" Focal with the sexy red double stacked magnets over in classifieds, you might want to look into that one. Not that I'm biased or anything.

Well. I don't think anyone on here would be willing to trade me a 900.7 for a combo of these amps:

500
2 200
3 100
3 50

In various states of working and non-working.

I thought about it and frankly I love the look, the built-in crossovers, everything excetp that it's so new looking. I'm too old for those young whippersnapper Ti amps.

Those BBQ RF's, that's a different story. Old as the hills.

Well just got back from Jim's. Heard from some Opti fans on other forums and apparently, the "stripped" 200 isn't stripped, the first Lanzar Opti's were made that way. When Lanzar realized they couldn't get consistency in the aluminum coloring they painted them blue. This story jibes with ...

Chrome bleah, but the bare aluminum isn't too bad. I have definitely put the cart before the horse on this one, I can barely fit 3 of them much less 6.

Another amp refinishing post... what is this, 3 now?

Okay, I've got one too. I bought those Lanzar Opti's from WashWithGasoline (thanks a lot, I already had amps, then you go put nostalgia on this board). I ditch the old stuff, buy his, coulda/shoulda stopped there. Then I get it in my head, that if 3 amps are cool an amp for each speaker is cooler. E...

Oh, forgot, had a couple of people ask. Amazingly enough, these things have never been installed, the gasket surrounding the... surround is untouched, the metal ring has no evidence of screws top or bottom, so they are virgin Focal's. Apparently, I cannot fit two 15" virgins in my car, therefor...

So basically stick 2 remote wires into one amp remote and I'd be okay.

That would be a lot better for me, I will have 2 processors so no point in going full DD10.

Question about the distribution blocks DD5 and 10

I see that there's a specific subset of remote turn-on's dedicated purely for amps, and then a crapload of "+/-/remote" for accessories. Is it possible to use some of those accessory "remotes" for amp turn-on only? I'm asking because I don't have a gazillion processors in the car...
