  1. Better cone control and dynamics at all volume levels. If you're asking about peak level (full volume) only, yes there are diminishing returns. But more sound is still more sound.
  2. Figured that was the case. I buy vehicles with what they will be in mind, not what they are. Last three cars I bought had springs and wheels waiting in the shop before I brought them home. The only time my wife saw them stock was on the test drive. We were test driving a used one that I started peeling stickers and pinstripes off and thought 'I should really go buy this before I get too much further' lol. Had already pulled the springs out of the warehouse before I remembered I didn't own it yet. Your stance and wheels are just about perfect IMO. Another great vehicle in your fleet.
  3. So much better lowered. Of course I think most vehicles are better lowered, so... Cool that the front spring perches aren't welded and able to be replaced like that. Nice video Steve, as always.
  4. Very cool to get see your own stuff in progress like that. Rims and tires both impressive as hell. Congrats. We daily'd a shop Focus back in 2000 on 225/25 20s. Some of the worst roads in the country in MKE WI. Like you said, be aware. Tire guy hated mounting them though.
  5. Congrats on the patent and the new rig! Funny enough I hadn't checked my credit in a while because I haven't had any payments that reflect on it for 6+ years, but I did a couple weeks ago and I was just over 800 myself. Good feeling, isn't it? My wife got herself in trouble before we met and was down around 550. She financed our Tempur-Pedic and setup auto-pay to be paid off before the interest hits, which has raised her to over 700 now. Much more comfortable with that as I had to finance our first house myself before we got married--two of us combined was too low and if we would have married first we wouldn't have gotten it. I've also been looking around here for another thing you might need soon--a bigger shop!
  6. Nice! Some of the best money I ever spent was my chordless impacts. Can never have too many. Miss my old Snappy dealer in my old city. That guy rocked. Even let me borrow his show trailer to move 200 miles away because it was the only way I was getting my 2500lb box up here. New guy is a tool.
  7. To be fair it does say "prototype", so there may be some odd pre-production concoctions out there. But yeah, motor and surround too small, Ti basket, cone and cap material look wrong etc. Only way to know for sure would be to send the link to Rusty.
  8. Like the guys said above I'm a bit leery when a company sends you something rather than picking one at random off a shelf our out of an end user's car. I agree it's a good looking amp though...and made good power. Just happens to have an unfortunate company name and logo.
  9. Chevy C10 reg cab long box. Three headed monster. Two dudes one chick. Domino's Pizza triangular delivery sign on roof. 10" Realistic home woofer cut through roof. 6 15" mismatched Pyles in the bed no crossover no blow through. No bed cover. At a competition. Rolled in blasting 'The Lion Sleeps Tonight". Was pissed when he went to meter it and they made him roll his windows UP. 116dB.
  10. Haha. Awesome. Years ago my buddy was judging installs at a show and some dude opened his trunk. All I heard was "Nice flocking amp rack!" and a bunch of laughter. Nice work. Interested to see the final results.
