Aggieland, College station.

We're gonna get him back.
He drives a little POS purple ranger.
All four of us are going to lift it from the back and literally drag the truck down the road somewhere.
Just have a few guys pick up the front end and stand up two cinderblocks under the axles, then move on to the back and do the same. Then that lil truck will just be stuck off the ground, lol.

Someone has that disorder like the dude on superbad that draws penis' all the time...
Goofy bastards...

"Got eyebrow?"
Lol, but seriously that's great! Little car, big sound.

Harborfreight is soooo cheap lol. I ordered a set of their wrenches and broke the 14mm during the first use.
That's what you get for trying to get a quality product from them.
You gotta be smart to actually get a good deal from HF. If it's something you're just gonna use once or throw away items then it's good, but if you're trying to get good quality stuff, it's not gonna happen.
Wrenches and stuff you're probably gonna break and waste your money. Chip brushes on the other hand you're gonna just throw away after the first time you use them.

I HOPE theres no friction on the vc of that sub.
You gotta remember. All a sub (or speaker) is, is a coil and a magnet. The coil alternates polarities causing the attached cone to generate soundwaves. The more power on the coil, the stronger the waves. The more power on the coil, the more heat generated through effeciency loss (there is NO 100% effecient item on this planet!) Your coils are going to get warm. Just make sure they are seeing clean power.
I was thinking the same thing, "what the hell is that dude talking about friction..."
Think of your voice coil as a resistor. Technically that's what it is. Anything that resists the flow of electricity is going to create a change of energy in the form of heat.

Or a slim jim.
I think even at one time harborfrieght carried a form of a slim jim.

got your msg. I will work on it asap. got some stuff to take care of and im reloading some of my programs, had to reload windows....damn porn and viruses. lol
AVG free virus protection worked wonders for me in the past, I've got kaspersky on one of my machines at the moment and it's seemed to be even better. You might want to look into those.

I've always used acid only as a tool to record and mix tracks when I record my guitar work and making my songs, however when it came to giving it the fine tuning and effects I've found that adobe audition is a MUCH more powerful tool.

Obviously your grandpa asking for it back has been ruled out huh?
Very strange situation.

Painting the emblem should be similar to how I painted my upper lip of my grill. Just sand down the metal with a medium to fine grit paper or sanding block, then make sure its very clean, use some degreaser on it. Put a coat of primer on it, let it dry, give it plenty of time. If you see any dust specs, wet sand it with a very very fine grit. Then put on another layer of primer (I don't know why but I did). Let it dry, time and preparation are everything. After that 2-3 coats of your desired color, wet sanding if small specs arise, and then once you have it the finish/gloss you desire seal it up with a clear coat and give it atleast 2-3 days to dry completely. Multiple clears don't hurt I suppose. That is just what I did to a front lip on my car, and after about 3 months no chipping what so ever. I'm no professional painter so my technique could be completely off.
I'm happy how it came out.
Which part are we talking about dude? The section at the edge of the hood between the hood and grill?

It's your voice coils in the subs that are getting warm. It's normal for any mechanical electronics to give off a little heat. Think of them like your engine in your car, you want them to warm up a little before they will be performing at their best.
Just don't over power them or they can get REALLY warm and hot and can damage them.

I like that track you put up as a demo, I'm gonna go try it out in my truck here in a little while.
Man btw, you commented about my video of the titanic bass mix, haha, dude that track is the bomb what were you thinking when you decided to make that?

Good info. I do know how to wire stuff up and actually benefit from the original Best Buy install they did with my rockford amp and rockford components. I actually have a temporary amp wired in now.
what I am ashamed to admit is that I don't know the actual stats on the speakers because they are sealed in the box (i've never 'seen' them), so I will open them asap so I can request help without wasting any of you people's time.
that alpine amp is just such a good deal I bid on one last week then canceled it because i don't know if I can use it (max I would pay for it is $100 so.. a steal!)
Alot of times the subs wont say what wattage ratings are on the sub itself. What kind of subs are they, if you can get the model number then you can find out the specs.
As for amps I see you're looking for multi channel amps in your other thread. Why not just go with a mono block? Alot of multichannels wont be bridgeable as they are more geared for component speakers and such.

Forgot to add, I got a new pic with the box all clean and shiny, as well as a quick video.
-
just wondering if i could but the subs under the seats or not
Small subs+seat lift+ass cushion bracing+lots of creativity... Yeah it could be done.
Get enough volume in the box for the subs, downfire them and leave enough of a gap between the floor and sub and actually I think it'd sound pretty damn good as well.

How big is the plexi? If it's manageable size then just go ahead and find someone with a drill press and use the press. That way you can control it alot better and you would be WAY less likely to screw it up. Just take it slow and take breaks because the drill bit will get hot and start to melt the plastic at where you're drilling and look like crap at the hole. Nothing difficult here, just take your time and go easy at it.

Chode I think you've just answered the economic crisis dude, that is a BOMB Idea! But what do you do about the sugar then? Shit just hit me... DUH, they've got sugar packs at the table!
So you're getting a free glass, water, AND sugar. All you really gotta buy is the koolaid mix.
Genius my friend.
I do similar at the movie theaters, I'm a slender guy so I can fit cans of bee... *SODA*... in my back pants pocket and then you don't have to spend 8 goddamn dollars on a drink at the food counter. Movies are a ripoff.

Speaking of the member info box...
What the hell are those little 3 squares under our names?
-
yes i would like to know also im going to tackle the job of painting mine in a week or so
You talking about the grill emblem? PM me.

Silicone would work, but I wouldn't use it for the plain fact that if you ever want to open it back up for anything it'll just be a pain in the ass to separate the two. And also now you've got silicone fumes in there with your subs eating away the glue on the subs.
Just go with the weatherstripping and be safe then sorry.

Btw, projectplaylist (playlist.com) has it.

Damn I almost forgot about this song! My older sisters used to have all this music when it first came out so as a very young kid I was introduced into the world of rap. I guess that's why I turned out the way I am.
Gonna go bumb that song tonight!

That all looks great man, but next time you might wanna use all black UV resistant zipties and wire tiedowns. I say next time, and I hope for your sake there is no next time, but most likely after a few summers those will get brittle and break.
