  1. yea, hes talking about just throwing them INSIDE the door, bad idea, water flows through there in rain storms, Ive seen many cars with "blown" speakers that have crossovers rusted/corroded/in a ziploc bag full of rusty water/electrical taped mummy looking cacoon full of water/etc. Apparantly a bunch of these were from bestbuy/circuit city.

    I mounted mine behind the panel screwed to the metal of the door itself, no problems yet. Definately consider where water goes when you're installing your crossovers, or any audio for that matter

  2. that t8004 is gonna be the deciding factor, cuz that thing throws out silly wattage. power components are loud and clear, real crisp sound with good mids, nothing mind blowing, but solid clear all around speakers

    the kicker ss, i dont feel like they have much mids, they are loud and clear, but mostly higher up on the frequencies. looking at your sig, youre running fanatiq 4/tweet center? and the blown down low in kick? and 6x9 in rear? So im assuming its bridged to 2ohm on front stage and each speaker is getting about 50rms. Look into pioneer d or c series components, i love them, and we've had them being beat to death by a punch50 in our work van for like 5 years now (d's) and theyre still loud, crisp, and clear.

    my .02, a lot of audio is preference, try and listen to cars with the speakers you're looking for.

  3. that thing sounds fierce

    lol, how to destroy 4 tires in 4 minutes....awd drifting ftmfw

    my dad took me to an autocross back in the day, he borrowed his friend's little mitsu and set down a decent time, and these two guys ( a viper and corvette owner) shit themselves when they couldnt beat it. I love that stuff, i wanna build a car for it sometime.

  4. how could you love the first one? 75$ for a less than 7 hour long game? i sat down to play to play it after school super excited cuz i got it the day it came out and beat it before dinner....ive never been so pissed in my life

    then go online and its slower than non-respawn rainbow 6

    ive never seen such a shitty game overhyped so bad....and EVERYTHING being brown or grey kinda just pissed me off

  5. bestbuy owns insignia if thats what you were asking....which is why they make 15-20 subwoofers, 200dollar flatscreens, 12 dollar dvd players, 40$ surround sounds, all of which are bottom of the barrel make the flea market look good garbage. save your 20$ and get a dime bag or something, itll make you way happier.

    p.s. the first box i ever built was for 2 jl 10 inch marine's we got out of a crashed wakeboard boat for 10$....built it with elmer's woodglue, nails, and a handsaw, we were just super careful building it and it came out surprisingly good, even if it took all friggin day (i was maybe 12/13 at the time, my friend's older brother was 16 and just had his first car)

    i'm pretty sure the red-cone dual's will outdo those subs....they look like straight poop, and if it takes 600wrms from a good amp i'll send u a single 12 box

  6. If you're going to learn one thing from here, it's to do stuff right the first time.

    new batt under the hood (something like a powermaster 5100, kinetic 1400/1800) 200+ amp alt, big 3 in 0 (charge line from alt to positive, ground from batt to chassis, and batt to rear batt) and then something like powermaster d3100/kinetic hc2400 in rear, two if you can.

    Really read through here and do everything right, build the box right, tune everything right, etc. Higher end stuff is a bit more finiky and a lot less forgiving, and i'm sure you don't want to blow your expensive new toy up.

    And yes, all that stuff is expensive, but completely necessary, you gotta pay to play.

  7. try and find one with xp, i ahte vista, its a resource hog

    if you find an xp machine, 1-2gb ram, 2.0-2.4ghz processor, integrated wifi/network, 13 inche screen is great, smaller or bigger is preference/battery life, biggest harddrive you can get. No need for audio/video cards if you're not gaming. Make sure it has a diskdrive you need (burner? cd? blu ray? dvd?

    if its vista, just make it 2-4gb ram, dual core processor, faster the better. I think i have a dual 2.33 centrino and its pretty nice.

    much lower than that and you're going to have a frustrating machine.

  8. .9cubes apiece sealed, glass the tub, about 2.5, bulge it out in a hump, 4 around the edges and 1 up, can be done easily (invert em if you want, they have some sexy ass ends). These guys will tell you, cone area wins any day of the week. I wanted to do it in my car but my spare tire well is like 8 inches to the left, so it would look like ass. 5 12's with 2krms will beat, and g5's sealed will sound great and play any music you want.

    like i said, my .02, if you want btl 15's, go for it, may end up being hard, may have to build the box in the trunk, but it's definitely doable.

  9. definately a good starter bike. reliable, easy to fix, and very very forgiving. Plus it's one of those bikes you can push to it's absolute limit and learn how to control it, and apply that to a bigger bike. I rode one last summer and its a fun little bike, nothing extreme, but its nice. Then i hopped on a street drop, stunt gears, full cage/slider. worked out cbr 1000cc (no the 1000, 989 or something, like an '01 model) and almost killed myself, pulled a wheelie with just rolling on the throttle for the first 3 gears.

    IMO, get the 500, learn the ins and outs, and trade in for something bigger when you're comfortable with that
