  1. I've known people who put big notes on their seat that says: "there is nothing in this car" and the sobs will break in anyway just to jack stuff up.

    Keep the car empty of everything and clean all the time. You won't be able to bump the system when you get it in anywhere near your block b/c you never know who is watching and listening = sux.

    ....but like etaks_crew said, a nice neighborhood watch program with you and a paint ball gun or a BB gun or something NON-LETHAL would be a good start.

  2. Yeah... I just re-read that part in the dashed box with the star by the note.... You can use a MONO sub input or a stereo full range input, but you have to take it down to the left or right side. So- it doesn't sum the rca inputs internally.

    What kind of HU do you have and how do the settings work for your rcas?

  3. Your HU use a Sub out on the rcas? If so just double check to make sure it is on. Many Pioneer HUs with a sub out have a setting where you can disable/enable the sub output.

    I wonder why it wants to get do the signal like that? Because it is a "mono" amp but doesn't sum the Left and Right internally? I have a bx1600d and it doesn't have to be done that way....

  4. Drive like there is a raw egg under your gas and brake! :) As everyone has said- do everything gradually and slowly. Try not to stop unless you have to- like at a light or on a hill... keep the thing rolling just a bit.

    Four years ago, I got to drive across the Donner Pass during a white out snow storm! That sucked. And the last time I got to drive in substantial snow was like January of 06. My wife and I were in Memphis and the rain turned to snow- 6 inches of snow within 2 hours. We were in a front wheel drive Neon! It did well in town, but no fun on the Hwy. The only good thing about a front wheel drive vehicle when in the snow or ice when you take off- it will spin until it begins to go forward. The Mustang behind me was tailgaiting in the snow going up a hill in rush hour traffic. When we had to come to a stop and finally start again, the Neon puttered up the hill- the Mustang punched the gas and went sliding butt first into the curb. They quit tailgating after they did that.

    To me, it is like mudding in a 4WD truck, but instead of mud, you are on a road where there are other people to worry about.

  5. HVAC will ALWAYS be around and needed. that is a good option right there. and good money that comes along with it.

    X2

    I did that as a part time / student worker job while I went to my University. I should have stayed there after I got my degree! FYI: it isn't all dark and steamy mechanical rooms and air vents- the part I did was the "energy managment" side- everything HVAC in big institutions (schools, hospitals, etc...) are run off of computers and programs. That is what I did. I would have made bank had I stayed- but no... I was an idealist then. :dry:

  6. Bump X2

    I have a similar situation for some of my spare Vegas. I have googled some stuff, but haven't found anything that I like so far. Maybe a generic cone and motor? I suppose you would have to know gap size, depth and diameter of the coil, cone size.... so on. It seems like so much to go wrong unless you find a company that specializes in this.

    I'm gonna' keep looking too bro. If I find anything I will post it up.

  7. Dave Ramsey's method worked for me and the wife.

    Went from less than poverty ...how can you be too poor for food stamps??? we were... to having more than enough. I pay all of the things I am supposed to, pay in cash for everything else, and give more money than we used to make. It changes your whole mindset. The crazy part is, I wouldn't be doing good now if I hadn't gone through a trial by fire so to speak.

    Keep plugging on man. Here is hoping for the best for you yours-
