  1. 02 Maxima BUDGET BUILD

    i picked me up a pair of those Hifonics subs about a year and a half ago..fantastic bang for the buck. One thing i would say tho is to remove the plastic piece that covers the magnet, on high freq it vibrates against the basket and buzzes and rattles. They still pound after beating them to death. I upgraded a couple months back so out of boredum i did this to one of them:

    I wall socketed it first tho

    Screen protectors are a placebo...useless if you have a glass screen. Its almost impossible to scratch a glass screen (unless you walk around with a diamond ring or a glass cutter in the same pocket as your phone) and if you think yours is scratched then its most likely a CRACK. Small cracks look like scratches but they are under the glass and nothing you put on your screen will prevent it from cracking. I use a screen protector for nothing more than keeping down on the smudge and fingerprints. Other than that they arent worth the money.

    But personally i use Ghost Armor for my droid. The full body kit works beautifully and there is little to no orange peal from the film. But the best part is that it covers finger prints and smudges like no other protector ive ever seen...miles above the verizon screen protector i had a while ago.

  12. Was i to much of an asshole?

    you were calm compared to how i or my father wouldda handled it. NTB had tried fucking me a few times and that wasnt happening. I learned from my father, king asshole, hes a really nice guy, just not when it comes to business. Hes a project executive for a construction company. Hes known for being a ruthless prick. And its made its way to me, and his brother (shop manager, who is my direct supervisor i guess) is the same way, i guess its in the blood maybe?

    But IMO, no, you werent too much of an asshole, not enough of one. I cant believe he came to your car and knocked on ur window. That wouldda been damn near grounds for an ass whoopin. If Im leaving ur store cuz im pissed, DO NOT APPROACH ME. Thats the way id look at it.

    I work in a grocery store and have to deal with people like you every day..makes me wanna jump over the counter and smack a bitch. There are times where being an asshole is ok, like in the OP's situation, and other times its just uncalled for and the person is trying to take advantage of the worker. You dont have to be an asshole to work out a situation, its often better to just talk calmly and request to see a manager, they will usually bend over backwards to keep you coming back.

    But back to the thread, you were more than justified in acting the way you did.

  15. good daily tuning

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    how many cubes is each sub getting? 10-15 sq inches of port area is recommended per cube of air space. For example: 4cu ft box would have a port size of 10x6-8x5 or any other combination that you would like. your box drawing has no depth..last time i checked 3/4 mdf wasnt .01" thick lol.

    And for me i like my boxes tuned low since i dont listen to much rock. My boxes are tuned to 28-33hz, currently at 33hz and love it, plays the lows and highs wonderfully. I dont compete or anything so no need for me to tune high or anywhere near my jeeps resonant freq, just what sounds best to me.

  19. kicker l7

    my first l7 blew within a week cuz i didnt let it break in long enough..second l7 has been taking 1500 rms for more than a year now but the spiders are pretty much shot..there is NO resistance when you try to push it in so i'd consider it blown..still works tho. They get verry low and pretty loud compared to other 12's ive heard. They tend to shake stuff rather than pierce your ear i always thought but they do not sound great. They suck on rock music but if all you listen to is slowed down rap then get em. lol
