Greenlee makes some pretty damn nice tools.

Yeah alot of the newer models after 07 I've seen most of them run 4v outputs, however I've metered mine and it's been in the 5v range at optimum volume level. To the poster that said 24 on the alpine volume level. Supposedly what I've heard from MANY alpine dealers is they've also noticed the newer alpines like my 9887 that volume level 22-24 is a sweetspot where every aspect of the output is perfect. About pioneers having a 1db scale at each level of volume, I'd believe more of a 1/2 db scale with as many levels of volume they have. The higher premiere models of pioneers are damn nice, but the lower models just piss me off. :censored:

Alpine 9886 Usb Problem
The Performer replied to brewer_brewer's topic in Head Units-Processors and Eq's
Yeah that's a feature I love from my mp3 data CD's, however with an ipod you can still have it Artist>album>song. It's not bad using the ipod, I just wish I had one still. -

Supposedly those are ok for using in pranks or similar but I've heard they suck quality wise. Just a word of knowledge. -

I'll be damned, I'd never knew that/ or ever had that happen. Eh, eitherway, the way I work with glass is tried and true, so I'll stick to it. -
Alpine 9886 Usb Problem

Hell yeah! That's a hell of a track if you've got the S&M album. Sounds to me like the alpine doesn't know how to process the newer larger flash drives. If I remember that H/U is from a year or two ago, not sure if 16GB drives were getting used to much that alpine put the technology into the processing. If you absolutely NEED to have more music space I would recommend getting the full speed ipod and a large ipod that you plan on leaving in the vehicle. Go to a pawn shop and look for a simple, cheap, large ipod to hold all your music. I'd be willing to bet even the portable HDD are even too large for the alpine to process. Look into the booklet, I want to say they should say the limits of how big of space you can be safe with. -
That answers my question. Good to hear that it's not only DC subs that are full blown amazing. I yet again tip my hat to DC audio!

Yeah it should, when resin with wax in it dries, the wax builds up on the top extremity of the layer. If you sand that down, it removes the wax layer and then you have solid resin to work onto. -

Come back to the thread and let us know what you decide on. Put up pics as well, it's always cool to see how things turn out for everyone. -
Nice man. Also, love the LED's you put in your lowers, however when I was in that thread I didn't see that you mentioned you used white's in the turn signals? That's fine to do on a vehicle that you know of? Either way, ticket sucks, but your tahoe is looking great with or without red and blue flashing behind you.

Hate to break it to you man but that's not a senior prank, that's just the senior class fucking with one dude. Better watch out, the kid's gonna pop a cap in everyone's ass while yall are at lunch. Gotta do something better than that if you want to brag about a senior prank. You gotta do something that's funny, but still fairly harmless, but something all the seniors can appreciate. A fairly harmless PRANK, not just fucking up some kid's high school year. Take for example a good one that was on MTV, some kids snuck into the main office and tapped a cordless phone into the main line. The phone would have a line you could dial and it would go over the campus' announcement system, so they would take turns playing party music over the entire school intercoms one day. See that's a cool senior prank, they could still get in trouble, but odds are even the police will get a chuckle over it if they got caught, and they can't get in THAT much trouble because they didn't hurt anyone. Also the chances of a pissed off kid with a fucked up reputation wont come back and blow everyone up. Have fun, just don't hurt anyone, waste the school's money, don't break anything, or make a obscene performance that could be considered illegal. -

You can get some really nice ones here. http://madtach.com/cat_gaugeseries.aspx Simple also is great, but there's some pretty cool digital ones as well that add a nice touch to the vehicle. -
Yes, that's an electrolytic capacitor, if you solder it back on, make sure your polarity is correct because unlike a non polar cap (bass blockers, X-over) it does need to be soldered in the correct way. Chances are, if that's loose in the amp there's more loose. I've repaired many of good amps, and many of crap amps and one thing that happens alot is the component leads just slip out of the solder joint, or simply break at the component and you have to replace the component entirely. And you can attach amps to your box, you just have to know when it's acceptable and will be sturdy. See how mine's done? if you go to the build you can see how the amp mounting area is completely braced and solid.
