You know my answer. Absolutely. Not because he deserves it but because you already thought about it and you know if you don't you'll always regret not taking the time to give someone who tried hard but just didn't have the means to make it happen. If you need anything that you don't pull from the boneyard let me know and I'll dig through mine.

It looks like something the diamond boxx would shit if it had an asshole!

Hi Guys, Need assistance on my truck. Its a 2006 Avalanche Regency Conversion as stated above. I have a very very small system compared to the ones on here. My main issue right now is as usual for a Chevy, rattling and creeks. 22's don't help either. After reading this forum, I guess I should start with the doors as i have most rattles coming from there and kill 2 bird with one stone in terms of sound quality. Also thinking of doing the B & C pillars if necessary. Second Skin will be my go to product but I cannot at this point in time afford to do 100% coverage. Where do you all suggest I start and what will I need? Thanks, Keagan Edit: Fun began! Doors Pillars Well this is where my 18 sheets of damp pro comes to an end! Another set coming in a week or so hopefully! Those will be for the floors and if any remains then I will use it to start the roof. **17/11/15 updated** I went about doing the floors, the extremely hard way! But got it 98% done So after taking out the back seat with the help of my pops, this happened... 5 mins in Like I mentioned, the extremely hard way!!! This is the reason why I went this route than taking everything out. All my audio & video wires run either under the carpet and most of the others run in the channels, up under the dash through the center console. I was not about to go and disconnect and re-solder and reroute those wires all over again. No sir I surely would not!!! And here we are after a few choice curse words and a lot of heavy lifting, I swear those front seats weigh more than i do, (i'm only 130) This is where the 18 sheets ended, about 1 sheet shy of completing the trans tunnel. From my finger to the end of that red wire that you can't see is all that was left. I could not reach it without completely removing that center console and the air ducts. 1 sheet remained and that would of completed it all. Oh well!

A company called Treelabs contacted me about trying out their new "Astro" bluetooth speaker and possibly posting up a few pics. You know me, i love electronics, especially free one's haha......who doesn't? So i said "sure, send it". Today, i received it. The big question...how much is it? Answer: I don't know! LOL - I sent them an email asking so i will edit this post once i find out. "Astro is the only wireless portable speaker that focuses on “pure audio.” Astro replicates the techniques used on $1,000+ audio systems that control volume distortion of music through hardware instead of software. Software changes the music to better fit the format of the speaker, which is why Astro uses hardware in order to keep your music in its current form. Others change the music to fit the speaker, we changed the speaker to fit the music. With Astro, we didn’t feel the need to overdo it; we just want to produce the best sounds that a portable speaker can produce with a beautiful, minimalist approach. Please note: if you watched our video comparison on your phone or tablet, the speaker is not large enough to pick up the difference. Please re-watch using your computer, speakers or high-quality headphones." Anyway, it is a very small, compact and kinda nice looking. They brag about how good it sounds and well, soon i will make a video and tell you how i think it sounds. The first thing i will do is give you a fair unbiased review of how i think it performs. I will show you as much about it as i can. Then, i will make future video's side by side with some of the competitors . For now, here are the pics. Anyhow, for more info, Check out the product here http://goo.gl/OSpBy9

I just purchased the door pack with 8 12x20 sheets I believe. I figure that's a start?

anyone interested in how it sounds? I just spent 8 hours editing this video... uploading now.

when i first read the title, i thought it was going to be some fake steve meade super-fan that writes letters and creeps on the real steve meade... in the eminem fan type of fashion.

+1 to what CleanSierra said about bandpass boxes. However if you would like to try one anyway, here are some things to think about. The reason people (like me) said to ignore bandpass box "ratios" is because they don't really tell you anything. Having a high aspect ratio does not guarantee you will end up with highly efficient box, and having a low aspect ratio doesn't guarantee you will have a wide bandwidth. These is because those attributes are not determined by the relationship between the two chamber sizes. Those attributes are both mostly a function of front chamber size. So if you have a box with a 3 cube front chamber and a 1 cube rear chamber, you have a 3:1 ratio. Now if you were the double the rear chamber to 2 cubes you now have a 1.5:1 ratio which by common (incorrect) wisdom would make the box have a lot wider bandwidth, but in practice its not going to make the box sound that much differently. As far as sizing the rear chamber goes, I pretty much agree with CleanSierra. Larger is better. Making the rear chamber larger will improve you low end performance by reducing the sealed resonance frequency and the QTC. What limits how large you can make it is mechanical power handling. As you make the rear chamber larger your cone excursion below tuning also increases. You don't want to go too far. Modeling software can help give you an idea of whats going to happen.

mine looks VERY similar to that one...the suction table with the zones and all. I hope it's fast or close to as fast as that video i am still looking at a few weeks before it will be delivered. It is 100% on the way though!!

It's been 3 years since i installed this shit....and every time i listen to it i grin ear to ear. The amount of up-front midbass this car has makes me forget all about the subwoofer sometimes. Some songs kick so hard it makes me wanna grab my cam and make a video. If you have heard it in person you probably agree.
