i see that people are taking what is being said the wrong way... I know that respect is the key to getting an answered... Every question i have EVER asked on here has been answered, including the ones that i have PM'd other members... I just DO NOT want to see this forum end up being like so many of the other ones, i was a member on at least 3 other sites and every time someone would ask a ''stupid question'' someone would have to be an @$$ about it (i.e. what is a good 12 for under $200?) there post would be flooded with "go to walmart" and ''jensen or roadmaster"" type answers... and for the record, SMDMEDIA.NET is my homepage, and it is the ONLY favorites link on my mobile browser... I have no complaints with the site or any members on this site, again THANK YOU to STEVE MEADE AND HIS CREW....SMD FOR LIFE & FTW)

First and foremost i want to thank Steve and his crew for starting a website and forum for all the fiends, addicts, and fans of the automotive world...This website is NOT just for people who have a love of car audio, but for automotive enthusiests as a whole...I cant thank you all enough... Now a concern that i have about the site.. There are noobs to this page who ask questions that most people just role there eyes to, or probably smack there desk in rage and say "are you @#$%ing kidding me?''...I understand your frustrations with those questions but also take into consideration that there is no age limit for loving car audio... There are members on this page who dont even have a drivers license. They are looking for guidance and answers to questions that they dont have an answer to. As a member with a decent amount of installation and product information i DO NOT EVER reply to a post with any negative comments, if i DO NOT have an answer i do my best to find an answer, and i believe it would be in the BEST of this website if other members did the same. I know questions like: how many Db's will this hit? CAN NOT be answered, but do we have to be negative or sarcastic with an answer?? I grew up with everyone downing me for my passion of car audio and cars in general, I learned about installs thru reading CA&E and by spending my free time at my local car audio shop and asking tons of questions..There are still many corners of the mobile audio field that i have no hands on experience, and have always been told ''the only way to get answers is by asking questions''......there is enough negativity towards car audio enthusiests from the general public and law enforcement we dont need negativity from each other....THANK YOU

Thanks for all the feedback, i was wondering about A-pillars myself and i seen that most everyone that replied to A-pillar questions got told to use ''search''..i didnt really find any 'detailed' pages on here so i figured id find something that was basically a 'walkthru' for A-Pillar rookies like myself...

Year on the job and they promote 2 noobs--FUCK THAT No raise in almost 6 monthes--FUCK THAT Haters, Jackerz, and Hoes--FUCK THAT Me wanting to build A-pillar pods and peeps saying it CANT be done--FUCK THAT Dad telling me that its IMPOSSIBLE to fit 22 speakers and 4-12s with over 5000 Watts of power in my truck--FUCK THAT AND ANYONE THAT AINT DOWN WITH SMD--FUCK THEM & FUCK THAT

http://home.comcast.net/~bill.lawrence/Aud.../A-Pillars.html NOTE: READ THE PROS ADVICE ON HERE AND APPLY WHERE NECESSARY(i.e. using hot glue, tshirts, etc....) but as far as it goes with the steps id say well explained.....

much thanks to both of you, been alot of help to me i cant thank ya enough cda-9887... 3 preout front/rear/sub @ 4v...2 amps to subs and 3 amps for highs, im thinkin of running all hifonics amps (bang for buck and ive never had a prob with em and my buddy has had the ones in his expedition since '00 and there still runnin strong) with that many rca's ima need a line driver and a few y splitters right??

**just rough examples -Drew alright, i was just checking prices and itll cost about the same for me to run a 1k watt amp to each sub, once u figure in the extra wiring, dist. blocks, etc....i might just do it that way.....kinda like rustys box has the 1 amp cept mount all 4 of em vertically..only thing that worries me is ima have 3 amps for highs/mids, plus whatever amps for my subs...

2 ohm or 4 ohm??? svc or dvc????

price range???

yeah thats what i was thinking give each sub its own chamber.. Now i am going to run 4 12'' LVL 4s off a T40001BD if i cut one sub off with a toggle would that not increase the wattage to the other 3?????

Thanks Noob...Great lookin box Rusty... back in the day my boy had a 4 channel amp pushing 4 kicker comps and he ran a toggle for each sub to turn em on and off, they were in the same box.. now the ? i have is this: 1. Is it safe to do that? 2. If yes, is it best to give each sub its own chamber? 3. If no, is there a way to control each sub on a mono amp?? i would think that cutting the power to one would throw more power to the others.....

Hmmm think something like that would be PERFECT....bet itd look just as nice with the T40001BD

@ ''he passed me a note in home room said you were cute''

rusty...someone said u got some pics of 4-12s in an ext cab pickem up truck thats NOT done blowthru...if ya got em or know where there at can u shoot me a link please..i got a 95 ford f150 ext cab, and need to brainstorm some ideas(box design...etc....) THANKS

****UPDATES***** Okay things on the yukon fell thru but no loss of sleep over it....scored a 1995 Ford F150 Ext Cab from my uncle for $500.00 Now the problem is figuring out just how ima fit 4 DC LEVEL 4 12's in it(**note** I am NOT cutting my cab up) but if anyone has any suggestions ill gladly take em) the subs are specs are listed @ http://dcsoundlab.com/specs.html

Im thinking that after reading over 200 sections on here since i joined that when i get off papers i might have to move to sac... , There just doesnt seem to be any ''decent'' shops in my area(not for audio/video/suspension/or anything else)...seems that the west coast is calling
