Waddup Quicksilver?

Be easier on it after you recone it. You knew it was stiffer after being reconed, so why did you still wang on it? gotta break it it back in just like it's brand new again.

I would love to see somebody attempt this. Just make sure they're not on your head the first time you fire them up. I'd hate to have something go wrong and then you wind up deaf because I said it was a good idea.

Global warming my ass. Flame on.

HAHAHAHAAA!!! Those subs are absolute monsters. I had a hard time getting over the size of Thor's motors on his 10's, and now I get to gawk at THESE!!

Sweet. I remember you saying the mids/highs were louder than you expected. I guess "giving you trouble" wasn't the wording I meant. I remember you posting that they got much louder than expected with no distortion. Glad to see you like them though. That one video where you're running just your doors and walking like a half mile away blew my mind.

Damn, I wish I could say that for half the stuff I owned. Somebody comes along and kicks a hole in my woofer and I'm like "No big. Easy come, easy go!" LOL. Looks awesome and sounds better and better in every vid Steve. I WISH I had the time to go down to Vegas and see this thing in action. Are those mids/highs still giving you trouble? Also, not to be off-topic, but you had a thread about a week ago about when your AA/SMD subs were expected. Any updates on those? I know you were thinking of trying them out before Vegas, but it's just around the corner and I haven't seen any updates on it.

15" Alienware M15x laptop 1920x1200 hooked up with an HDMI cord to my Vizio 22" LCD running at full 1080p. I know it's almost pointless to have a 22" tv running 1920x1080 because it's so small, but it's awesome having all that extra desktop space over there as a second monitor.

If you're going to Great Stuff in the corner(s), it still might be best to do it in layers. Lay down a nice thick layer, let it harden to the touch, and then lay down the next one. If you fill the whole thing at once, no matter what you do it with, it'll never dry/cure. However, Great Stuff and resin are both great ideas if you feel the need to fill the gaps. It's gonna get costly though if you decide to fill ALL the 45's.

Lol, this totally reminds me of Punkin' Chunkin'. Only you're looking to toss bowling balls instead of pumpkins. I don't have any plans for you, but I'm sure scouring the internet would turn up some pretty awesome finds...

I'm SO glad someone else hates this! I've had my moments where I don't put a period or something at the end of a sentence or don't capitalize the word "I," but for the most part I've got perfect grammar. Hell, I even put proper grammar in my text messages! It's just how it should be. That way everybody else understands what the fuck you're talking about. The thing that gets me most is when people go out of their way to capitalize every other letter. ThEy SiT tHeRe AnD dO tHiS aNd It AnNoYs ThE fUcK oUt Of Me. It's even harder to read, and takes probably 3 times longer to type because you have to hit Shift every other letter. Gah!!! USE VOWELS!!! I can deal with no commas, that's not the biggest deal to me, but PLEASE use full words and at least periods to break up sentences. I'll even let you not capitalize the first word of the sentence, as long as I can understand what you're talking about.

Oh my sweet Jesus...

I'm simply amazed at how long it took peeps to figure out how to do this. It's a metal plate cut into a ring. Probably 1/8" aluminum. It's pretty though. Makes me wish I had one. Or two. Or ten. 16 of these little fuckers in the back of a Suburban would be extraordinary to hear. And a lvl 5 8" would be the closest thing to a Funky Pup that anyone's ever created. It would just be one angry little sub. That poor cone would go shooting out and hit some lady in the stomach and cause a miscarriage. Yeah, I said it. DC Sound Lab lvl 5 8". Make it happen Rusty!

You've got some tasty windows, mah boi!

Sweet. I forgot about the tattoo. Those doors are gonna look damn smexy.

Coming along beautifully Steve. Clean, clean, clean. I'm blown away by this build. I was caught way off guard when you threw the touchscreen in the dash of the Hoopty, and then you turned right around and tossed one in the 'Hoe! I'm glad you got the tethering worked out. You've got all the toys in there now! Touchscreen, Mac Mini, iPhone making portable WiFi, screens for the chillun' in the back. I was thinking this exact same thing before I read your post! Mold something like THIS into the center console or dash. Somewhere convenient. Then just run the other end of the cable deep into the bowels of the vehicle where the Mac Mini lays dormant. You could just plug your flash drive/portable hard drive in there and not have to worry about going digging for it just to put some more music on it. Also, it'd be an easy way to charge the iPhone by plunging it in with eh USB cable. Keep this build a-rollin'! When are the doors coming in? I think you mentioned it but I missed it. That deadener on the floor's definitely gonna help. Great work man!

Dumb bitch needs to learn to drive. By the way, you've got a nice looking truck man. I really hope it's not totaled. Threw the damn headunit right out of the dash? AND pushed you into your buddy's truck? She must've been hauling. Best of luck man!

OH MY GOD!!! That's hysterical! AWW, TRUCK!!!

Has anybody checked this out? I'm dying to know how it sounds on a bigger system.

I don't know if anybody's heard of this song before, but I think it's awesome: Next Best Thing by K>Nup My best friend goes to the US Merchant Marine Academy at King's Point, and his gunnery sergeant is a rapper. Well, he showed me this song, and I think it's great. The bass hits pretty damn hard on my system in my dorm, and it's only 250 watts. It peaks pretty high, so it might not sound as good on some systems tuned lower. The only place I can find to get the whole song in high quality was off iTunes (I know, I know, purchasing music is so 1990's). I'll try to find it elsewhere, or I'll just rip the DRM off myself. Anyway, check it out. I think it'd be worth it. And I'd love to see somebody do a demo using this song.

That guy jumped straight out of his skin when that bass hit. 26K watts of bass sitting 3 feet behind your head. Even the guys outside the truck have to turn around and walk away because it's so loud. It's turning out to be a MONSTER Steve! I can't wait to see those doors get wrapped. Hopefully those guys will do a great job. I'm not sure if you already mentioned it, but are they getting the two-tone treatment like the box did?

Awesome! glad I could help! One last thing. Be sure to check on Amazon.com for the PVR first if you plan on buying it. My friend bought one off there at almost half the price. Hauppage had a deal with Amazon, but I'm not sure if it's still ongoing. It's worth a look though.

And maybe YOU should learn something about YouTube. The HD feature allows for videos up to 1280x720, which is full 720p. No quality butchering, except apparently the butchered quality of your videos. And it's completely free as long as you stay under the 10-minute limit (actually a 10:59 limit)

If you want one that will be able to capture full HD, go with a Hauppage PVR. Hauppage PVR It's a bit pricey, but it's the HDMI feature that sets it apart. It's got standard Red/White/Yellow composite plugs, as well as the RGB component plugs, so it's compatable with just about everythign you plug in. It doesn't have an HDMI, sadly. If you REALLY need that feature, you're going to have to get a converter box to go from HDMI to component, such as this: HDMI to Component Converter I hope this helps. I know it's probably more than you expected, but it's the full HD feature that gives it the bigger price tag.

Wait. Who am I kidding? There's ALWAYS more room for subs!
