kickass audio

Oh yea. I checked. Amd whoever installed his unit did a shitty ass job. The brain is right under his center console in plain sight and the wires are very easily accessable. I can't trace the switch anywhere

Hello all, so my co-worker asked that i take a look at his viper 160xv remote start/car alarm system to see why that when he locks and unlocks his doors that it does not honk his horn like it used to. I know that you can do so in programming mode but when viper says to turn the key and press the vallet button, there is no vallet button. His remote antenna only has the antenna itself, no buttons built into it nor is there an emergency disable switch. does anybody on here know how to get into programming mode for this system so i can re-enable his horn honk feature that he wants when he locks and unlocks his doors? Thanks again!!

whats the big difference? i know spread spectrum is supposed to have better range but is it all that noticable? and im thinking of buying the viper from sonicelectronix.com. anybody else have anything they got from this site? it has some pretty damn good reviews and plus it would be cheaper for me to go that route instead of the compustar which i have had bad luck with using that brand with my parents vehicles.

what does everybody think of me getting an Compustar RF-P2W9000-SS instead of the viper 5901 or 5902 unit? I really do like the viper unit but its a little out of my price range. I was quoted to have the compustar unit installed for $450 with a lifetime warranty on parts and labor, all the accessory hookups, and everything else. Unless anybody on here knows where i could get an viper 5901 or 5902 for a pretty good price let me know asap. im going to put this in the second i get it since its getting pretty cold where i live.

damn, thats a nice price. is that also to get the 5902 installed? or how much would it be to just get the 5902 from you and have a local dealer install it for me? i dont have the balls to do a install for this because im pretty sure id screw something up and miswire it.

thanks for all your posts guys. im really considering it. does it give you a lot of range and its pretty good at reporting the status of your car?

do you have one in your vehicle? if it really that awesome. ive heard a lot about this model from viper but i have heard a lot about them in the past about their quality sucking ass.

Okay, so i have a 2004 GMC Envoy and i am on the market for a very good alarm system/remote start. I have absolutely no clue how to install one (nor do i want to take my chances of screwing up something to do it myself) so i will take it to a shop locally to get it installed. but i wanted to see what everybody on here has to say and suggest for me to buy. I would like to have a very good range for remote starting as well as paging my remote if the alarm is set-off, a window is broken, or anything like that. My neighbor has a omega alarm system and i had an omega remote start/keyless entry system and it worked pretty well but i only got about 250 feet which sucked. I would love to have about 500 feet, if not more for distance i can run my keyfob off of. I really want to have a keyfob where i can have a lcd screen (either a lcd with a color screen, or a generic black screen with a backlight) to show me the status of my vehicle, as well has have door lock/unlock and remote start buttons on it. My price range would ideally be around 300 to a max of 400, depending on its features and how much i hear people raving about it. But please get back to me with ANY and ALL systems that you may use, think are great to have, match what i am looking for, or anything in general and i will be more than grateful for it. As always, thanks in advance SMD members!!!

ok, i was looking at this amp and im very impressed on the specs. im just wondering how this sounds as compared to an audioque 3500d.1 amp. im planning to get another kicker solox woofer for my truck but right now i only have a single solox dual 4 ohm sub (2500rms) and this would be perfect for it. but i also read that this amp is a current hog and i only have a single mechman alt with a xs power s3400 batt (1000 crank, 3000 max amps) and a xs power d3100 (1250 crank, 5000 max amps) do you think thats enough power? And whats the gauge input on the amp for the power wires as well as the speaker terminals? Do you have dimensions of the length and width? and just to make sure, the amp is selling for $360 and its fully working? Any and all assistance with this would be great.

it already did go well. its in my car right now (no i didnt take pics of it tho) but you owned it before me so im sure you know what it looks like. haha. now all i need is to get my mechman alt fixed, get xs power to make the hold down for my d3100 sometime this year hopefully, install the d3100 in my trunk after i get the hold down, get another amp for my woofer and use my current amp for the mids and highs. other than that im pretty damn near finished with it. i like where its at now.

Ok, so i fell upon a posting on here where alphasig293 was selling his old equipment. I fell in love with his headunit he was selling, the alpine iva-w205. After i read up on all the things that it can do and looked over the manual on alpines site i decided that this is the replacement headunit i need to retire my old pioneer deh-p4100 headunit that i got for free. So i asked him a good amount of questions about it to see what it was coming with and all that and he was really fast to respond. only on the occasion would it take him 2 days to get to but he had a lot going on with taking care of his family. but none the less he came back and answered every question i had throughly and promptly. I paid him on paypal and then within a week i had the headunit in the mail via the post office. He packaged it like a pro in the box with all the accessories it came with. This unit performs and looks just like it was brand new. I would rate my buying experience with alphasig293 a 200% because of how he went above and beyond and even said that if i had any questions about the way to install the unit that his installer would be glad to help me out with it since he helped put the unit in his truck. With fast email replies, payment, shipping and everything else i am happy to say that i will be more than glad to buy from alphasig293 again in the future. Thanks for the great buying experience!!!!

im sure he isnt at fault for it. i had a alt sent to me from mechman and after only 2 days of use the damn thing is broken. everybody knows its the bearing and believes that the box was dropped just the right way and caused it to fracture inside. you have to love how ups ships their stuff... tossing it around like a ball.

haha, good luck with that, i didnt buy the subs so i cant help ya out there. lol.

youre more than welcome, thank you for giving me such a good product and for the great purchase experience.

thank you. i think of it as a very good review is deserved for those who sell items with the utmost respect, fast responses (which i can tolerate a few days to respond because people have a life other than to be on SMD 24/7 lol) and to sell high quality merchandise.

Ok, so i bought a set of Kicker KS502 component speakers from TeejayBee on September 13th for $47 after shipping which is a damn good deal and i am totally satisfied with the sale from him. He shipped the speakers to me via ups ground on the 14th and i received them in the stock box that kicker provides you without any damages or problems. Opened the box and tested everything and for the speakers being used they sound just like brand new speakers. They sound, look, and perform like a dream. I would rate my shopping experience with TeejayBee a 10 out of 10. He answered every one of my stupid questions (because i am full of them) lol, and was fast to get the speakers shipped to me and the speakers, crossovers, and other hardware are in mint condition. I would be more than glad to buy from TeejayBee again in the future and would definitely recommend him to other friends of mine or other SMD members who are looking for things that he is selling at the time. Keep up the great work TJ, you exceeded my expectations with buying from you.

i saw that one and im thinking of it.

thats a 2 channel. im picky, i want old school ppi with a 4 channel amp, not 2 channels.

cuz their new amps SUCK!! they sound like shit. if i could get my hands on a old 4 channel one thats in good condition like my power pc2350 id do it.

$500 is kinda over what im looking. im thinking like $400 tops for an amp to get the mids and highs. but i may just use my long ass amp i have now for that. it looks sleek and everybody who looks at my install loves it.

not enough power. again i need to get 100 rms per side for the rear and 65 rms per side for the front.

bump for some more suggestions on a amp for my mids and highs.

yea, the only place that has one is where i can blow $300 at home depot on one. for o-scopes there is a place near me who let me use it to tune my amp which was nice

haha, yupp. the only trouble i will face is getting the amp turned down enough to not blow those speakers. i dont have a clamp meter to see how much current its pulling to accomplish its power rating so its damn near impossible at the time being unless i find a guy with one.
