  1. pens agaDamn car crapped out on me this morning. Went to leave for work this morning and the car wouldnt start. Could it be because my battery is low? I dont know if its low but its never not started. 

    Since my rear seat is removed i can hear the truck compartment where my stock battery and fuse box is. When i turn the key over the dash lights come on and the trunk area makes a "click click click click click click" sound really fast for a couple seconds then everything goes off, then if i try again it does exactly the same but shuts off even quicker. What do ya'll think it is??? I gotta try to fix it when i get home from work.

      Yeah check battery first. Next would probably be a starter solenoid. I only work on older vehicles so I'm not even sure if newer ones have the solenoid.

      Alright ill pick up a digital multi meter. Would the dmm be able to tell if my alternator is putting out sufficient power to charge the battery? My coworker brought up a good point to check the alternator. I dont beleive the battery should've died. I think maybe becuase i dont drive alot (works less than a mile away, maybe even a mile round trip) that my battery weakens a lil from not being driven for long periods of time to keep it charged. The car is running for maybe an hour- hour half total per week on average. 

  2. Did anyone elses "Equipment" section get combined with the "For Sale" section???

      I aint a small slim dude lol getting into those side fender gaps was kinna difficult. Just aint used to this kinna work i guess.

      Aww shit, thats gonna suck too. Keeping arms above shoulder height for extended periods is weakness of mine. 

  5. Ended up taking a chance on Sonic and just got some RCAs in today. They look legit. Wish i was at the point to install them lol.

      Lol foreal tho this aint "overpaid" because these were the cheapest ones i could find, of THESE exact rcas anyway. I still need to buy 2 more of these but Sonic only had two left.  If i was to buy them at my local shop it wouldve been $249.95 PER SET. They were $159.99 per on Sonic. Shipping was rediculous for these too but still cheaper than buying it localy. BUT i will say its probably overkill, and i wouldnt be able to "hear a difference". Fuck it tho, i wanted it. Everything else about my setup is overkill already so i might as well lol.

  6. Why doesn't Stinger Electronics acknowledge any online retailers???? I emailed them a couple times directly and they ignore the question and just tell me to use my local dealer. 

    So i emailed a "supposed" authorized stinger dealer about it and asking them if they could clear this up for me (why stinger wont acknowlegde them) and they wont reply. 

    Whats really real?

      Ill probably just get the Knu wire. I wanted the Stinger becuase i know being awg standard it would fit easily. And also for the name.

      Knu is just fine man. It'll fit great, promise. Dont let if stress you too much. And dont expect great customer service from everyone. Because theres plenty of vendors out there that will NOT help. Move along to another vendor with better service that deserves your dollars.

      Yah i ordered a 1foot length of all the sizes of knu karma ss, just to be sure. So i can test fit it and find out ho big i can go on each wire. I know u dont need 12gauge on ur tweeters lol but im the type that would do it just because lol. I know 14 standard awg fits my tweets and the 4inch. But i only had 14 awg and 18 awg on hand to test. I should be getting the knu wires today or tomarrow. It was only like 7-8$ including shipping. 

      Stinger emailed again and said pretty much that sonic is a dealer. They still seemed reluctant to admit tho lol, their exact words were "they are.....". That was after i said "oh ok so sonic is an authoirzed dealer?". Becuase they told me they were forwarding my warranty question to sonic because warranties are handeled at the place of purchase. Had to go a little tricky route to get the answer, but i think i got it.

  7. These should fit nicely in my doors.

      I dont use facebook. I already paid for the membership so that will make it alot easier, not having to upload to some other app then load it here. I post from a phone, i dont use a computer.

      I messaged admin kyle and also steve. I think their inbox is probably so full im not sure how long before they actually see my message. I dont wanna message every statf member and irratate everyone lol. Ill just be patient.

  8. This is some BULLSHIT right here. Something always gotta fuckup when im tryna do something. I was cuttin out my speaker adapter, went to out in a router bit on my bosch router table for the FIRST TIME. And the shit dont fit, brandnew collet was fucked up and bent closed so the bit wouldnt fit without jamming it hard. Used a vise grip wrench to yank out the stuck collet(nut was already separated from the collet which isnt supposed to be). Then i use a needle nose pliers to stretch it back out to how it should be and....this

      Thanks man, yah i did order some earlier off amazon, i got prime so standard shipping was free. Wouldve cost an extra $20 to have it here by wednesday. But im only off today and tomarrow so doesnt matter as long as its here before my next day off next week. But i went and got a new router from lowes anyway so i can work on it tomarrow. I might just keep the router so i can have one i leave in my table and one i can keep as a plunge router for free handing. Tempted to just swap parts tho and return it lol.
