if your car is a repeated target I would recomend upgrading your alarm before you spent any more time installing an gear. I guess I'm exaggerating, it got hit 3 times over a couple years at my old house in my driveway but I've moved to a different state. I think it was the suction cup marks on the ...

Just as a general aside, I had an issue once buying an engine online for my drag car years ago. The short version is the guy took a $500 deposit then 2 weeks later tried to raise the price $300 before shipping it. I said no, gimmie my money back, and he basically said "sorry, I don't have it, I...

I'm bored. So, anyone have any experience with this puppy? http://www.amazon.com/Clarion-EQS746-Graphic-Equalizer-Crossover/dp/B000EZV3T8/ref=pd_cp_e_3 I'm trying to accomplish a super cheap and absolutely undetectable install in my car since it seems to be a magnet for break ins, no idea why. Plus...

We have all been guilty of it at one point or another I imagine. I know I have. What aggravates the shit out of me though is people that 1) spout of shit when THEY know they don't know what they are talking about, and 2)refuse to ever, ever "be wrong," aka learn something new. I welcome be...

I can't hear clipping and I have been in car audio for several years now. Any time I set gains by ear, when I go back and look at them on my o-scope, they are clipped. It is not a ton of clipping, but when your goal is no clipping, any amount is no good. *disclaimer, I have entirely too much time o...

I keep hearing this theory that "alot of people can't hear clipping" - what prevents them from hearing it? Is it just something in their DNA that prevents it or is it just that they hear this theory and want to take the easy way out? Maybe its true but if it is and they continue to tune t...

Using your phone's 1/8" output (headphone jack) is essentially adding another gain stage to your signal path. You certainly don't want the volume at its max. Ideally you want to bypass the amplification if possible, for instance using an iphone's docking cable output with an adapter vs the 1/8&...

Another bullshit citable statute solely for generating revenue 90% of the time. Residential, heavily populated business district (like a strip mall), and areas with heavy pedestrian traffic, OK maybe I buy it. Mostly though I think its just one of those things they use to pull someone over that mayb...

Well if I had to have a 4th gen it'd be a windsor car (well unless I somehow magically could get a 2000 cobra r). The install looks pretty damn impressive. With all that added weight though, NEEDS MOAR POWAH. :D I saw the bolt-ons on the invoice sheet for your chip so it looks like you're approachin...

Man that sounds eerily similar to what a friend of mine dealt with for a while due to an undiagnosed gal bladder issue. I hope you figure it out, I can't imagine the frustration of not knowing. At least I have a pretty decent handle on how I got to where I am and kind of what I need to do from here,...

<1 ohm bridged @ 13.8vdc = UNICORN DO NOT ATTEMPT

We do not recommend attempting to generate the 1.21 jiggawatts necessary for time travel with this product

They say money can't buy happyness but DO YOU EVER SEE A SAD PERSON ON A JETSKI?!?!?! LOL I know I just got here, but I can relate to a lot of what you have been going through. Without getting too specific, my life has completely imploded over the past 2-3 years. I went from being an extremely succ...

I have always and will continue to stand by my belief that Paul's Boutique was an instrumental turning point in hip hop production and doesn't get nearly enough credit for how influential it truly was. Granted a lot of the concept was already done by the Dust Brothers beforehand, but the end product...

If anyone has a non-operating BX series cassette deck or any idea of a place that sells parts for them, I need need an idler hub and tire. The tires are available new but I seem to have misplaced the hub for mine. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

Is it one of those sealed get jobs that you can at least orient it however it will fit..so you aren't limited to mounting it right side up only? I'm in the middle of making 6x9 baffles/adapters for my rear deck. Pretty sure I can feel my hair growing just in the back as I'm working on them, and have...

man I hope but its liiiiitle....... I think I had large flashligh/lantern batteries for camping that were bigger. I am going to try and design the trunk in a modular format so it can all be pulled out for servicing or track-days easily, including the big battery. That thing is supposed to be able t...

Come on, a day is like 2 years in internet time. We are certainly e-buddies at this point at least, no? I'm just trying to kill some time and start some discussion. I'm not sure why you seem to be insinuating that i have malicious intent when I am clearly here because because I share common interest...

I have no idea who you are, what you are talking about and have no intention of clicking on a strange link to see if I might enjoy it..... :roll: You responded to the thread I introduced myself in yesterday. Its a nightclub demonstrating its sound system's exceptional low frequency reproduction. It...

I knew 2 of the owners for a while before it opened so I had a pretty good idea of what they were doing sound-wise before-hand, but you really can't get your head around it until you hear it in person. I played here 2 or 3 times before my "retirement" and it was almost scary. Its actually ...

ive had this sony t7 digi camera for like 7 years and its lack of a manual focus option has driven me nuts since day 1 so i decided last night maybe i should rtfm and low and behold there is a macro setting that works surprisingly well. lol oh well now I know, snapped tons of pics last night while i...

^^^As in a Maxima?? yeszir. i guess you could say i like maximas...this is the 6th one ive owned. I almost go through cars like a lot of people go through sneakers though. You can check if there's fluid under the caps (the big ones you can see through the plexi) by slipping a piece of paper under t...

Hey guys, just discovered this forum last night so figured I'd hop on. Me: Andrew about to be 32 (jesus how did that happen?) Long time hobbiest in home theater/car audio/perfomance car/nightclub dj (was a full time jock for a few years as well) I'm pretty broke these days and my driving record is p...
