      If I get the amp back and the problem is still there I will be pissed.

  6. Got an email from Singer today and he said there's another minor setback with the alt. No big deal though, he's keeping me informed constantly and even offered to powdercoat it for free!

      Smaller belt and new tensioner are a must.. People think tensioners last the life of the car and they don't..a few belt changes and they need to get replaced

    3. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      Yeah I went and got two different size belts one thats 1/2" smaller and one thats 1'' smaller and kept the one that fit best. I took it into two places to have it checked and both said the regulator was bad.

      you'll get there. Promise you will. Little things can add up quick. Get the inside of the car cold, close some AC vents, change the seat positions. The 146.6 I did was under an awning that was a solid 15 or 20 degrees cooler than it was in the direct sun.

      Okay ill try some things tomorrow during the test runs

    4. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Tune higher. I guarantee your car doesn't peak at 29. My car peaks at 33 with boxes tuned from 30 to 38, so im fucked. I say its your box.

  9. Waiting on an email from Singer to see what he wants me to do.

      Try calling him or hit him up on fb

    4. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      Yeah I realize he's constantly busy. I just got an email from him this morning at 3 am.... burning that late night oil. He is sending me a new voltage regulator.

  10. Heard back from Crescendo today and they said that they have been prepping for a show they are putting on and it probably wont be till the end of the week till they test my amp. At least they emailed me back.

      Horrible customer service in my eyes. I used to love Crescendo Audio until I had my cs issues on the past.

      Waste of time, you can't drive down the road with it on legally.

      My buddy has a couple light bars and cubes from Totron off Ebay. If you can find ones with Cree LED's and boards, they should work out pretty well.

  12. Thinking about building a weedeater powered bike for when I go to UNCW

      If it's 1.5 miles just pedal the damn thing, that's like a 10 minute ride.

      e-bike would probably cost more. It's cool stuff to learn and play with if you like electricity.

      Why put sp4 soft parts vs team soft parts?

    3. magillaru

      magillaru

      More motor force but still the same sp4 gap....pretty much a juiced up sp4

    4. Carnines

      Everyone loves the Sp4

      Jurassic world is out? How was it?

    4. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      I liked it. It was similar to the older ones but those were great. Overall it was a good movie and it was worth the $12 to see it.

  17. I have a sinking feeling the Saturn is about to bite the dust

      I think they actually might. I've seen some pretty ragged Saturns still on the road

      They rival the crown vic for how ran down they can be and still run.

      and, hes pulling 20 hour days getting ready for slam.......

    3. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      Yeah we talked about the build he's doing for a bit. I know he's constantly busy which is why I never rush him. I know he will get it done as soon as he can.

    4. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      He was waiting to get the bypass for the pcm in and test it. Everything is fine and tested so it's on it's way to NC

  20. Finished a Spanish and Stats test today. The rest of the week should be easy.

      Yeah I had to go through and teach myself everything that was on the test. The professor just moves way too fast for me to grasp the concepts.

    3. DubNDodge

      DubNDodge

      Ditto. I was proud that I understood and could solve any problem. Good thing he only had 2/6 problems that were actual problems. while the rest were definitions/conceptual

    4. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      yeah we had 20 questions and 5 were ones we had to work out

  21. Just went over to DroppinHzs' new site and its awesome. So much easier to navigate and a lot cleaner.

      CJ18

      Thanks I appreciate it. We are working hard to make it better.

      Also about the products, I am removing products that we dont sell any of. If you dont see it anymore, it is because we have not sold any of them in the past year.

  22. Order from Droppinhz was just made. There goes a couple of paychecks lol

  23. Still waiting to hear back from Crescendo about my amp.

    1. Kyblack76

      Kyblack76

      get use to waiting...

    2. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      ....all I want is an email to say they are at least working on it. Im most likely going to buy a amp so I can at least listen to music in the mean time.

  24. another email from Jon at Crescendo. New S800.4 will be coming in the mail soon.

    1. bolanorthhighlands

      bolanorthhighlands

      Cool. I have noise from my speakers/tweets too. I would like to know what happens

    2. Broke_Audio_Addict

      Broke_Audio_Addict

      So you'll have it next year?

    3. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      Hopefully I will have it by the end of next week but we will see.

  25. Once the alt is in it will be time to order more wire and a new HU. Also looking into eq's to put in under the HU.

    1. Ahmed Johnson

      Ahmed Johnson

      Was your factory alt externally regulated?

    2. BigManAC

      BigManAC

      No it was internally regulated.

    3. Ahmed Johnson

      Ahmed Johnson

      Did you ever play your system with the new alt before the regulator and get a reading? I read somewhere that sometimes the cars comp would make the alt climb in the 15's when full tilt. Of course you don't want that, I was just trying to see if it happened with you.
