  1. It's cold out here today, but I may pull the truck into the building tomorrow to swap wheels. I will post pics after I do it to show the difference. Trust me, the girls like it the way it is now
  2. Kelley Blue Book value on the truck is $11,295 in good condition and 12,020 in excellent condition. http://www.kbb.com/kbb/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?YearId=2001&Mileage=96000&VehicleClass=UsedCar&ManufacturerId=26&ModelId=175&PriceType=Private+Party&VehicleId=4586&SelectionHistory=4586%7c32592%7c29202%7c0%7c0%7c545675%7ctrue%7c177975%7ctrue%7c545675%7ctrue%7c177975%7ctrue%7c545675%7ctrue%7c177988%7ctrue%7c178010%7ctrue%7c178027%7ctrue%7c178028%7ctrue%7c178033%7ctrue%7c178037%7ctrue%7c178049%7ctrue&Condition=Excellent&QuizConditions= I just happpen to have the wheels on the truck, but I would definitely remove them. I know most of the people who actually drive Range Rovers don't want rims on them; I just felt like putting them on. I think they make the whole truck look bigger. Actually, the intent was originally to color-match the rims to the body of the vehicle, but I got distracted for a while.
  3. That's a sick blue. Also, look at some of the Nissan blues, if you get a chance. I like that Chevy blue, though. How about color-matching the rim lips blue like the truck? That would be ultra-hard on 26s. I think that would bring the truck's look up to date a little bit. http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1216474
  4. Okay, so I am finally selling my 2001 Range Rover. It is the 4.6 H.S.E. version and hss leather, power and heated seats, moonroof, navigation, tow package, grille guards, etc., etc. It also has 24 inch Player wheels with brand new tires, but the factory wheels (on new Goodyears) also go with the truck. It has 96k miles, which is why I selling it. I drive the Interstate too much to have a 100k+ vehicle. I need something newer and have had my eyes on the G37 for a while now. Bearing in mind that we are only just now emerging from a recesssion, I wanted to get some input from you guys on this sale. What are Range Rovers selling for in your locations and do you think that $9900 is a good price for this truck? I wanted to have an even $10k from this one for my next car, but is that reasonable? Should I sell it with the wheels or put it back on factories? Anyways, here are a few pics of the truck. I'm going to be sad to see it go, but even happier to see the new G come!!
  5. The new Forum is very slick!

  6. ^^This. Lanzar OPTI 1533D (3,000 watts RMS) dual 1.2 ohm coils on an AP 30001D (3,000 watts RMS at 2 Ohms). $550-ish shipped for sub and amp together. Another $200 on wires and batteries and you'll have serious bass. Just make sure your box design is right so you don't waste precious bump time rebuilding. Ask me how I know....
  7. I know this may be hard to hear, but just do 1 big boy 15 right now. That way, you can put it in a properly designed enclosure and, with some power, will knock the trunk off that cavilier. Later, if you decide to upgrade, you can get another 15 and amp and stuff it in the trunk despite what everyone thinks.
  8. 2 12s are mainstream, but if you have the space, 2 15s are definitely better. 2 18s are beyond reasonable space limitations for most of us.
  9. Why not build one big square port instead of multiple aeros? By the time you start doubling and tripleing aeros, you'd be better off with one square port. You could even put 45s in the corners of the port if you feel like getting fancy.
  10. Well, when the port shares one wall with the enclosure, it creates more drag as the air enters and leaves the rear-end of the port. You probably won't notice unless you have a meter or are putting a lot of power on the sub, but there is a difference. Maybe move the port over a few inches? Put a 45 (not 90) degree bend in the port? I have lots of ideas, but you have to figure out what your application needs.
  11. That port "looks" about right to me. A port in a huge 9 cf enclosure doesn't need to be as long as one in a smaller box to reach the same tuning frequency. Why are you using the enclosure wall as one wall of your port?
  12. You don't necessarily need to max your system out for tuning. If you make a change to your system, it will show up at 126db even though your system may be capable of playing 146db. Also, that little cheap Db Meter can help you figure your vehicle's resonant frequency.
  13. I also have a BNIB Planet Audio BB2 2400.1 that makes 1600 watts RMS at 2 ohms and 2400 watts RMS at 1 ohm for $400 plus shipping.
