  1. Pioneer never again for a h/u.. Speakers are making all kinds of noises.. 99% sure it's my h/u..

  2. What do you guys use to cover a sharp metal edge?! I need to run my wire through it!

      like though a firewall?

      No, I have groments for those, like through a thin peice of metal. I'm thinking of a small weatherstripping like strip but not sure what its called.. Hope is only about 4-10 gauge depending on the wire

      well dirll through it and cover the wire with that all weather plastic cover then seal the hole with silicon or caulking

  3. Anybody ever buy a car only to later find out the last owner completely effed up the wiring?..

      Yep went to install a different head unit the wires are all screwed around so like when i fade and balance you can hear a difference but you can still hear music all around

      Yeah.. Keep an eye out for my build update.. You'll see the meeeeess of wires. Now I only have what's needed in there

  4. Thanks to the Jackass that tried to put audio in my car. If you don't know something.. ASK!!

  5. Hey Kevin, little error on the 5.25s you accidently put over over, rather than of over. Just figure is let you know! Looks like something ill get my cousin in the near future!
  6. Gotta sell my AG360! Then the Build continues >:)

  7. Woot, get the car back tomorrow so I can finally sell my AB360 Zapco! Then it's time for a new amp :)

  8. Looks like you kept your word with the shirt! Hope to see some more gear soon man!
  9. Thinking if a decent under the hood battery, XS is just to much for my price range at the moment. Shurkin?

      I'm running a group 34 as a starter, and looking at the group 31 as a secondary battery.

      I got the group 34 for $90 as a clearance deal, and Skrilla, and Eflako seem to be having great luck with them.

      Yeah but is that going to support 1.6k rms on a 90a alt? I also can't find there 31 battery.. I can ONLY have one battery, no room anywhere else.

      Maybe try the new crescendo battery?

  10. Touchy subject, but why is the VVME (mystery subs) so cheap?.. garbage spider? Cooling blows? Small coil? Something more than it's not well made. Cousins gunna get one for laughs.

      Probably cost saving things like no quality control, assembly line manufacturing, cheap, fast curing glue, not a ton of time spent with design and testing, stamped vs cast baskets, etc

      Ah, okay so basicly it's not a bad sub, it's just not going to last..

  11. Honestly.. A trillion dollar coin.. That will solve it all!!

      not to mention someone dropped it and i found it :P

      Yeah, make sure there isn't any holes in your pockets!

  12. Quick question.. do people say it sounds better to run speakers, or subs at higher ohms (2 ohm, 4 om) because it's more efficent?... Basicly meaning it would sound the EXACT same at 1 ohm if they had the voltage to withstand whatever equipt they were using?.. I know it's a tad bit confusing because I myself am being confused haha.

      So then with lower independence, the THD would rise therefore that's why the distortion is higher at lower ohms? Also, the THD is higher at lower ohms because the amps less efficent? Or does the efficency have nothing to do with SQ?

    3. mrd6

      The best way to say it is: The speakers dont sound better, the amps sound better. THD, damping etc on the amp changes with impedance

    4. sayhuh?

      sayhuh?

      And higher impedance means less stress on electrical, allowing the amps to see more true power if your electrical is not efficient for lower impedance...or something like that...sry sleepy.

  13. Are there any universal bass knobs? I could use one for the amp I have, and it does have the outlet for it.
