  8. Spl Car?

    in SPL - SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL

    Posted

    I have a 1991 oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra that I am in the prosess of building right now. I am going with 2 15's in the trunk. I will be cutting a bigger hole behind the rear seat to allow me to slide my box in through the cab. Will be ghosting the back part of the rear seat with nylon or kevlar mesh to allow the subs and port to breath and still be able to use the back seat for passangers. (Thumper did somethign like this with his Ford Tempo) There is plentry of room on the passanger firewall side to run multiple runs of 1/0 or 2/0 wire. The trunk is fairly large and should be able to fit an array of amps and batteries with no issues it you wall the back seat. The only speaker locations in the front are the dash and those are 3.5. You will be making door or kick panel mods for sure. The front doors should be able to house 2 sets of 6.5 comps with little modifications. I have been kicking around the idea of a double din touch screen that can fit with stock llocation with a bit of work.

    I got my car with 69,000 on it back in 2003 and now have 130,000 and it is a nice running car. You will need to replace the rear shock/sprint with something alot more stiff for sure. Once you get any type of weight in the back that ass end will bottom out hard core on you..

    Just my 2 cents brother.

    Funniest thing I have read in a long time. Brought tears to my eyes....

    Pocket Tazer Stun Gun, a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:

    Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse- sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety....??

    WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.

    AWESOME!!!

    Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.

    Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two triple-A batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?

    So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

    All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries) thinking to myself, 'no possible way!' What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.. .?

    I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as to say, 'don't do it dipshit,' reasoning that a one second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one second burst just for heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and . .

    HOLY MOTHER OF GOD . . WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION . . . WHAT THE HELL!!!

    I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs? The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

    Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor... A three second burst would be considered conservative?

    IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!

    A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling.

    Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

    P. S.... My wife, can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

    If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!

    I would say the 82 ford bronco for a couple of reasons...

    1) tons of space behind the read seat and if you take it out even more

    2) Parts for this are very common, any ford truck/bronco from about 1980 till 1994 maybe later not 100% sure.

    3) I am a bronco lover,yes i said lover.....I have had two Bronco's in the past. 1979 full size and a 1973 smaller one.

    4) the room under the hood to work with is unbelievable, just so much space.

    5) I love me some bronco.... :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub:
