[All of you mini truck owners..]

Just recently picked up a 99 s10, was wondering what a good active forum is for mini truckers?

Looking to get some ideas for interior and exterior mods. And to get some knowledge on my truck itself.

[DC's Slammin Astro Panels and Lights NEW Update!!]

Hey rusty, bring it down to acme tops and tunes so you can actually show the guys what you're made of

And you can check out our 4 XL 15 boat build.

[hows american bass?]

American made LOL you mean American assembled.

[Crank to power windows?]

fiberglass a drill motor into a housing that fits over the window crank and then screw it to the door if you wanna do it the ghetto way, if not junkyard doors would be your friend, if you can find ones the same color as the truck just swap em over and wire em up or swap the parts

Wtf.

[Crank to power windows?]

This damn s10 has manual everything lol

[Crank to power windows?]

What's the difficulty of going from manual to power windows?

Not sure if I actually want to install switches inside the truck or just wire the windows to the alarm.

I've done manual locks to power locks before but I've heard windows are more difficult.

[another stock 6.5 vid by the trunk this time]

Cool?

[Safe to store batts on the ground?]

I store my batteries upside down on a metal table.

Going to go try this now.

And shut up minel lol.

[Safe to store batts on the ground?]

Thanks lbox.

[Safe to store batts on the ground?]

I need to store my batteries somewhere for about a week.

Would it be safe to just let them sit on the ground in the garage?

They are XP3000's

[Finally broke down and joined the sundown team need alt now]

You don't need a H/O alt. upgrade your starter battery and maybe a secondary battery.

[Amp just stopped working]

On my 3500.1 I've always used a 200 amp fuse on each input.

Check the wire that goes from the batt to the amp.

Their is obviously something wrong at that point of your system. Make sure the wire is secure in the ring terminals,

No shorts in the wire, no corrosion, etc.

[Too much power for lvl 6??]

I'm unsure why no one has said anything about running your bass boost on your deck 15/15. I never and mean never run my bassboost more than 25% of max. Let the amp door the work and stop trying to overdrive it with the headunit. One of the largest misused settings and biggest killer of coils.

Now as to your current issue. Did you take pictures of the recone broken still in the motor? Before gutting it? I know you say you fixed it 3 times but I really dont see that amount of glue on the spider nor ring? Im not saying you didnt, maybe you used small beads I dont know. Call the shop and we can chat.

Next....

On to the xl build what you got in mind?

If Op and I are on the same page,

Then that's not bass boost, but sub level. On almost every alpine and I believe some kenwoods, you need to turn the sub level to 15/15 to get full RCA voltage out.

[quick Q about multiple runs]

So then why do you need a 2nd run?

What amp is it?

[quick Q about multiple runs]

Do you have a second battery?

[quick Q about multiple runs]

Is this run coming from a second battery?

[wtb 4000+ watts rms amps]

Aq3500.1.

Rated at 4300 rms. people have clamped 4800 at 1 ohm.

$600 shipped.

[4 15" Ascedant Audio SMD prototypes in a bagged Toyota hitting lows]

Prototypes... Whhhaaaattttt??

As in some of the first SMD's made.

Not new ones. They look good in there. But doesn't look too loud. 6th order? Specs?

[has anybody put 8 12s n a blazer]

How many alts and batteries will I need if I'm walling off on six 15''s?

Lmao no mention of what power your going to be running...

But to answer the question how it is. None. Subs don't need power. Amps do

Subs don't need power?

So people just do 50's on hopes and dreams?

[I have 2,000$. I want four black 24" Rims. What are the cheapest yet best rims.]

i can get 6s with tires for under 2 bands brand new. Check ebay for the cheapest price, as far as google. I know i picked up some brand new 28s with tires for 4 bands and they were bad ass. So i know damn well you can get em for atleast 1600 with tires. I had a caprice with 4's on it priced a set of tires from firestone in my hometown they wanted 2000 dollars for i forget the name and brand but they were good tires, found em on the internet brand new bought all 4 for 800 dollars. You have to do research.

I think I'll stick to legit tires. Those aren't something you want to cheap out on.

If I buy nitto's, I want nitto's not neettoes.

[I have 2,000$. I want four black 24" Rims. What are the cheapest yet best rims.]

And for 2k I hope you already have tires or a separate budget because you're looking at another 2k just in tires.

[I have 2,000$. I want four black 24" Rims. What are the cheapest yet best rims.]

Make sure we get the cheapest price? Uhh are you going to pay us to find shit for you?

Do some research. I'll tell you which ones I think look the best. But fuck doing the research for you.

[Sundown owner Jacob taking one for the team]

Jacob's wearing the perfect shirt lol.

Never seems like he can handle loud systems.

[has anybody put 8 12s n a blazer]

People love to over compensate their electrical around here.

Not saying that's a bad thing. But when people start hearing about all these alts and batteries,

Noobs start telling other noobs that if you wanna run 4 18's you need 4 alts.

Like you just saw in this thread.

Love when I see noobs giving noobs horrible advice.

[Need help with my system please!]

In all honesty, your best bet is going to be sticking around the forum and just doing a little research before buying anything. I do suggest selling all of your equipment tho and starting with a clean slate. Then once you have a little more knowledge, you can purchase better equipment at a cheaper price than those retarded Orion's lol.

Just tryin to help out man.
