  1. Does anyone know of any remote starters/alarm combos that you can use for a manual transmission? Ive been looking and i cant seem to find much...if anyone knows of one thats pretty cheap, let me know thanks in advance..
  2. so roscoe do you need another fuse from the second battery to the amp? or is it not necessary...
  3. oh another thing...what do you guys think about circuit breakers? would a bad circuit breaker before my second battery cause my amp fuses to blow? hypothetically speaking... i want this shit fixed lol im riding with no bump and its killing me
  4. aight well ive had a cap before and it really didnt help me at all, so no im not using a cap. everyone on here said a cap would be a waste of time and a second battery would work better. in that case i guess im going to have to get some more inline fuses...i hope thats the problem...
  5. that was my first thought but they are 150 amp fuses im sure thats big enough right? i dont really know, im not really gooad at this electrical shit, i can wire shit like nothing but when it comes to all that amps watts volts and shit im clueless
  6. this may seem a bit noobish, but im trying to figure out why my amp keeps blowing its fuses...i blew them twice now and i dont know why. so this is what i want to know: i have 2 batteries, and i have 2 fuses set up like this: battery-----fuse----------+------------fuse-----battery-------------amp now am i supposed to have another inline fuse between my 2nd battery and my amp? why did the amp fuses blow in the first place? thanks in advance
  7. itunes is okay, i dont like that fact that you have to download the songs in m4a format though, unless they changed that...
  8. this one http://cardiscountstereos.com/catalog%20pa...ct+%23=A12001DT or this one http://cardiscountstereos.com/catalog%20pa...ct+%23=BXI1206D thats i you want to stick to that site
  9. soundblaster audigy if you wanna stay budget as well, awesome sound that doesnt make u broke...as far as a system otherwise, i'd stick to intel. their core2 duo chips are amazing. for ram i would not get gskill, its VERY budget and ive had it before and 4 sticks crapped out on me. crucial for budget, corsair or kingston if u got the $$. for hdd's ive always had western digital, but ive also had seagate and to be honest i like seagate a little better cause of their warrenties. do not buy maxtor, we had 10 out of 15 of their 400gb drives DEAD on arrival at work a few weeks ago, so stay away from maxtor. vid card i'd get nvidia...ive had ati but i like nvidia better. maybe a 6800gt would suit you good. if u wanna go all out on a vid card i'd stick to the 7600gt or even the 8800...that card is beastly...its all in what you need. and as for a mobo ive always had good luck with ASUS and DFI...if u want great quality, budget board then go with asus...if u want amazing quality but a bit more expensive, dfi is the way to go...if u want a designed system pm me and ill hook you up.
  10. BL definatly for the watts you'll be giving them cause they are like a lower wattage btl
  11. maybe a 15" bl? not sure, i know the tc3000 is freaking amazing though
  12. haha the gains....i hate setting my gains cause i never usually do it right. bummer.
  13. lookin nice lol @ the 5% tint the legal limit here in massachusetts is like 35% and if its any lower we fail inspection haha
  14. i got a Q and i been bumpin pretty hard now for several days w/o a problem ...knock on wood..
  15. x2 you shoulda said something to the guy that delivered it to you, then u coulda filed the claim right then and there
  16. yeah ive been a package handler on the air-sort night shift for over 2 years now in windsor locks, ct and we do throw shit around a lot...i'd say the safest way to ship your stuff is air, only because it spends less time in transit. 3 day select is good, or 2nd day air. next day is a waste of money unless u absolutely need it that next day...in your case i would talk to the shipper and if they deny packaging it then take it up with ups.
  17. took the words right out of my mouth, thats written down in my things to do word doc!
  18. to answer all your question about the typo i had in my sig its 2 gauge not 2/0...not sure how i screwed that up but i did as for the 45's...i was gunna but i didnt have the patience to glue and nail them in there...i probly will next time around
  19. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...&hl=blowing i think it was somewhere in there. i had 2 audiobahn 12's in a prefab ported box...idk what it was even tuned to. lol.. i hope this fi beats cause i need some bass in my car asap! and i hope my box sounds good too lol.
  20. I havent hooked it up yet cause im just waiting on my wires from sonicelectronix. they should be here tuesday so i'll let you know by then. by the way thanks mazda for persuading me to make a new box and get a new sub. i think i made the right decision
  21. so this is my frist "real" build...i used to make boxes for my home system out of plywood and drywall screws anyway, i dont have many pictures but its for one 12" Fi Q...2.5 c/f tuned to 32hz. any comments, question, criticizm or helpful tips are welcome. enjoy My Fi Q and A1300HCT sorry for the crappy cell phone pics thanks for looking. and thank you to everyone on this site, you guys were an awesome help!
  22. get the Q...i just got one and this thing gets LOW
  23. i seen that JL 1000/1 pretty tight amp...althought i dont think its stable @ 1 ohm it may be @ 1.5 or something
  24. i guess i never properly introduced myself...lol my name is kevin, im 19 and i live in the springfield, MA metro area. ive been into car stereos since i got my first car...an 88 honda accord. i drive an 88 audi now and im in the process of building a box for my new Fi Q that everyone on here reccomended! i love this site, its my new homepage i found it um..i think from meades video page like a while back. everyone here is so helpful and informative...thanks steve for the great site!
