  1. RECONE TIME! But which one?

    The stock level 4 will be just fine with that power... If you're getting it stinky off that power then you have sum different issues to work around.

    Yeah. IIRC, the SAE1200 puts out 1500 real power (I'll recheck the sundown section for the clamp test).

    You have other problems.

    EDIT: here's the test thread:

    It puts out 1700 real power with good electrical.

    x2?

    it must be that we have till the 15th to make the order. no way anyone could have gotten the product and made a video installing it with only 4 days notice.

    i'd love to enter this but i only just got my job and paychecks havn't started to come in yet :(

    Well, you're in a better situation than me.

    Order the product, or my LVL3... :decidingsmiley:

  6. My full interior build...

    Heres the formula I use ethat I got from him. You can also use duraglass. Much stronger.

    "I put in 16oz of body filler + 7oz of resin...... mix well. I use a mixer and a drill. Then add 5cc of MEKP hardener and mix again.

    If it is over 90 degrees out, less MEKP.

    This mixture is just a little less liquid than latex paint."

    Awesome. Thanks.

    BTW, I have evercoat "lite weight" body filller and some off-brand fiberglass (not bondo) that works quite well. Will that work?

  9. What happened?

    At least you know what happened. My Xplod quit after 3 minutes of playing. I just found out recently it was drawing ground through the HU and fried.

    My plans are, next summer rebuild it with a board from a diff, budget amp. LOL. No really... :ph34r:

    And you'll be happier with a better amp. To put it lightly, I powered a set off (2) 60 watt 6x9's off of my 800W Xplod full tilt gains and all cranked to the maxx (I didn't care about the speakers, they were $10 Walmart specials) and didn't blow them. They didn't even get hot. And the speakers weren't very good. I blew them on a 200 watt amp with the gains set by a DMM.

    What does that tell you?

  11. Regular Damplifier - Now with black foil - 15% off

    in Second Skin Sound Deadening and Automotive Insulation!

    Posted

    Ant, looks like I won't be able to get the black foil Damplifier. I've been pretty busy. But I do have a question.

    How much would I really need? I want to deaden the doors. I know most people cover the entire door panel, but I don't want to order more than necessary. I've read somewhere (but don't know for sure) that I only need to cover then center 50% of the panel to get the desired result. What do you suggest?

    Thanks in advance.

  12. Can a diode be used with a power inverter setup?

    in Carputers

    Posted

    A diode bridge is whats used to convert AC to DC, you need to convert DC to AC.

    What are you trying to power on 12v? Audio and computer stuff runs on DC , so all you have to do is bypass the original AC to DC power supply and replace it with a DC to DC power supply.

    I plan on switching computers a time or 2. So I'd need a DC to DC converter that had a switch (without costing me a lot).

    Do you know of any that take 12V in and put out 18.5 volts? It needs to have at least a 3.5 amp output.

    Thanks.

  17. Can a diode be used with a power inverter setup?

    in Carputers

    Posted · Edited by 1992Chevy K1500

    Like the title says, can I use what's known as a "current steering" diode (Source: wikipedia "Current Steering") inline before the battery that powers a power inverter? I know most power inverters can induce noise in a system (though I'm unsure how they do it), and that's why I was wondering.

    Could I use something like one of these:

    Or one of these:

    http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store...TIFIER/-/1.html

    Also, could I use more than one diode?

    I'm going to be stuck using an inverter for my setup (I already have 3 or 4 laying around, so it'd be cheaper).

  19. Bad day to be a modder

    in Video Games (All consoles) Ratings, previews, demos......the latest

    Posted

    well if they want us to buy legit games... they need to lower the fucking price... 60 bucks for the new forza... im not feeling it

    i'll say i modded mine... and proud of it

    X2. That's why I never got a 360. I'd rather have a second rate, crappy, first gen PS2 (I was one of the first to get one when the old "fat" type came out) and play outdated games then spend money on games I'm probably not gonna like. I haven't seen a new game for the PS2 in forever! But I don't care.

  22. Runnin on veggi oil...

    in Engine and Performance - Anything for that couple extra horses!

    Posted

    No. The process needed to change veggie oil into a usable diesel fuel is very expensive (and dangerous). Putting those kits together is the same way. Those kits to make your own have to be priced accordingly. They're usually price "manu. cost + 1.2(manu. cost)". That sound high, but it's not cause there's usually only 1 middle man.

    Not to mention, compatibility issues could arise from throwing your own kit together.
