Like i said, im really wanting this to go through, ill be saving at least $20 a week right now and than about $40-50 during the college year. Leaving me with extra money for a new headunit and amp
edit: its a v6 auto. Im not doing any racing so it doesnt matter if it's manaul or auto for me

Went out 2 hours ago to check it out. Had a fun test drive
Every thing checked out good and apparently the dealer ship didnt clean very well, found some old glasses in the glasses holder on the roof.
Still has stock audio so Ima have some fun with that, that is saying if everything goes as planned.
-
Well for the interior Im hoping that there are no cigarette burns cause it's all gray leather. And under the hood ill be looking to see any if there is anything that doesnt belong under the hood and to see if there are any corroded pipe lines or wires.
-
Well I was called by my mom who works at the Hyundai dealer ship here in town and told me that she had it looked completely over in and out. But when I go to check it out, think I should give it a quick inspection? Look for anything they might have missed.
-
Today I found out that I have a chance to trade in my '95 pathfinder for a 2000 Accord. Think I should do it? The only draw back is that I'll have to reinstall everything into the Accord. But I need the better gas mileage of the Accord since I'll be going to college in another town and I will be commuting there everyday. Have any of you ever had any major problems with an Accord or just some to mention?

It rained here this morning. Unfortunately I didn't have any money to shoot my own fireworks

The name is Bastian Crocker. From Jefferson City, Missouri. Started car audio when I turned 16 and got my first license. Been bumpin ever since.
-
How was everyone's 4th of July? Anyone have pics of some cool fireworks? I left my camera at home.
-
LOL. Ok I'll have pics up later tonight when my camera gets back to me. I made the spades into more of a square ring terminal because they dont shake loose. Got my amp installed back in so the pics will be off them all wired up. Amp still doesnt work though if any of you read some of my previous posts. I'm thinking something went wrong with the internal fuse holder on it.

Well while in the garage i found myself some copper tubing that would be perfect for this since it already has the round shape I need. I already got two of them made within minutes. Just polishing them up and getting them ready to make a good solid connection.
-
Unfortunately I lost my tin snips
-
Im a bit confident. I dont have any special tools for metals. Just my dremal and some good old pliers.
-
I forgot to order some spade terminals with my wire and the wire itself wont fit into the power input on my amp. I have some aluminum sheets laying around that i would think would be the perfect thickness to make my own spade terminal. Would it be a good idea to go ahead and make them out of the aluminum? Im only making two, one for the power and one for the ground connections on the amp.
-
the tazer is pretty much a piece of aluminum tape under the door handle with 2 wires hooked to it. Its not powerful enough to hurt someone, just make them jump their hand back, kinda feels like when you put a 9v battery to your tongue. but if u think they could press charges than ill go ahead and take it off.
-
Oh I'm plenty ready. Leaving it unlocked for the next month with a tazer hooked up under each handle that I can turn on and off with a switch underneath the car. I also decided to make a video camera to stay on all night and stream to my computer. So we'll see what happens. Hopefully I'll catch them soon.

Apparently someone "broke" into my truck last night. When I woke up I went out to my truck like normal to go buy a drink from the gas station. I open my door and noticed that it wasn't closed all the way, like someone just lightly pushed it. So from that moment I knew something was wrong. I looked around to see if anything was missing. My head unit was still there along with the flash-drive that was plugged into it, my amp and sub where still there to. I looked down to turn on my Zune because I use that for music and it wasn't there. Thought "oh maybe i put it in the center console.." nope. And my gps which I keep in there was gone as well with it. My doors were locked last night. My bro's car was also stolen from. Just decided to post that. figured you guys would like to read about something like this.
Come next month I'm installing camera's on my house.

Alright so i took a volt meter to it to check what wires were getting voltage and not. The pos and neg read 14.2v while the truck was on. At first when i checked the remote it wasn't even reading out on the meter. Than i checked it a second time and the amp turned on and started working. I dont really understand how/ why it started working when i hadnt even done anything but tested the volts. I think somehow it just needed a small jump between the remote and ground. But it's all working again. Thanks for the tips guys.
-
Yeah, it's mounted on the back of the box with rubber grommets. That was something else i was thinking of, what if something came loose on the inside. But if that other trick doesnt work than I'm gonna take it apart and see whats wrong with it.
-
So just stick a wire connecting the pos input to the remote input?
-
Think it would be a good idea to check with a volt meter to see if there is voltage going through the wires, even the remote?
-
Ok so I have been bumping this same amp for about 2 years now. Its been a beast. Recently though its been turning off for some reason while I'm driving around. Generally I could just jiggle the cables a little bit and it would turn on. But the other day it just stopped working and won't turn on anymore. I've re-ran all the cables and wires and even changed my ground location thinking that was the problem. Still nothing. So I decided, it must be the remote wire. I have the remote wire hooked up with with the headunit on the same remote coming from the inside of the dash. I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not.

Planning to move all my old stereo stuff into it from the pathfinder. I gotta get new speakers for the doors and rear. But my old woofer box wont fit into the back
So I've decided to make a custom box just for this car that will have the port going into the passenger area of the car. And should the woofers face toward the front or the back?
