  1. how is the FloridaSPL scene? i want to move to daytona beach, how big is the car audio culture down there???

    Also man, you should look into a head unit that has USB or IPOD in on it, i used to use my touch in my jeep via 3.5mm audio cable and it cant come CLOSE to the sound quality or the lows of USB in with the touch, im sure you would love the difference.

    lastly, :good: for such a clean box & port, lol.

    and sense im so bored right now, i might as well link this, it would be a nice idea to swap out the chinese tweets that come with the crescendos with some of these, but thats just my $0.02

  2. think of an EQ, with the 40hz slider maxed out, alot of amps use different designs, cheaper amps just clip the shit out of "bass"(<70hz) while others raise everything in the 20-70hz range by a solid 6db with a 12db slope, im sure you didnt understand that at all lol, but IMHO its better to use an EQ than any form of bass boost, as long as you know where the EQ clips.

    dont you mean that some bass boosts (like the ones that are normally centralized around 45hz) boost the selected frequency from anywhere between 6 to 18db with a 12db slope?

    Yeah, but the really cheap amps just increase the line voltage of everything under 70hz to over 8v, and its pure clip heaven, this was the case with two old coustic amps that i found while cleaning out a storage unit last summer, gotta love storage units.

  3. And no seatbelts aren't good grounds ecspcially if it's not sanded down good, reason is you're ground wire will make you're subs hit when you hit a bump due to the vibrations leading up to the seat and the impact. But about the bass boost, I'm not to sure on the exact reason but my understanding from what people say is it distorts the signal, and I think it makes you're subs work hell of alot harder then what they should vs if you were to have turned the gain up. But that's my opinion on that, maybe some one will chime in and clear it up more.

    ive never heard of this before...someone else care to elaborate?

    try grounding to a seatbelt ant see, the vehicle rattles while going over bumps, and because seatbelts are a terrible place to ground, the music will dip with the bump because of the drop in voltage going to the amp, due to the shitty ground.

  4. Anyone wondering why bass boost is bad, have you ever wondered as to what it does and how it works? How does it boost the bassline? How does it achieve such audible differences?

  5. soundman needs to try something like this, i mean anyone can mold shit into a dash but only a few can do this

    why cant i post a mobile link no mo? it just go auto to video?

    They charge $600 for ipad integration, there is no way they could do something like this for $600.

    Edit: im a mod on their forum btw.

    yea exactly. they give everyone chance to have an ipad in there car. and for 600 i think thats a good deal. no fish prob doesnt touch cars for anything less then 5 grand

    Plus there is no way fish could do an install like this in a few hours, the reason soundman does simple ipad installs is to make sure they can get it done in a day.

    and for the ones wit that high tech portable ish

  7. Get out your DMM and test the voltage at the starter and have a buddy turn the key, if you have power but no crank, its prolly a bad clutch on the starter motor, if no voltage, its best to have a mechanic look at it. if it cranks but wont start, get a can of starting fluid and spray it into the air filter for one complete second, if it wont fire like this, you're looking at a pricey repair.

  8. Skylar? For fucking real bro? Had no idea this was you! Wow...small fucking world. Saw the same story on your facebook earlier, and I was reading this and was like, dang this is oddly familiar!

    Haha, yeah, thats me. and guys, i didnt have to stomp him in the nuts, his car was destroyed, and im sure he was in alot of pain, plus my cousin knows all the mexicans in town, that wouldnt really fly :x

    forgot to add, a fat mexican with a riced neon isnt so uncommon around here.
