What was your spacing and depth of cuts to make that kerf? I'm looking at making an enclosure really similar to this for the 12 in my sig.
-
You could always just live with playing it lower until you upgrade the electrical. But I guess if it's too hard not to...taking it out would do the trick.

I'm looking for a simple high/low pass crossover, nothing too fancy. It'll be used in more of a home audio setting, with one set of RCAs going to my sub amp and the other going to the mids/highs.
Let's see what you've got
-
or do a DD 1508 maybe molex plug the amp wires so you can quick disconnect it.
I know what you're getting at with that, but it also makes it easier for thieves...I would always be worrying about that.

I've already made a deal with myself...If I ever get another "sports" car that I'm not gonna bulk it down with tons of stereo weight and destroy it with tons of bass....
I personally would upgrade the underhood battery to a decent sized one...something comparable to a hc1400 and go with a single 10" or 12" woofer ported with 600-1000wrms run components front and rear, tons of sound deadener and focus on a clean install with some throttle but more SQ oriented.
I would go with a RF Power1000 (5 channel amps typically does 100wrm x 4 @ 4ohm, and 900wrms x 1 @ 1ohm) just to keep the install clean and simple.
^This. Forget my idea, wL's got it. That RF all-in-one amp will save space and a bit of wiring. You *could* add in a higher-amp alt to the mix, but at least do the big three. A single DC lvl 3 would be nice, or maybe a Fi SSD or an AQ SDC.
-
What work was done on the engine? A rebuild or modifications? Just curious here.
And as far as the audio...I would run components where possible in place of the stock speakers, and dual 10s or 12s in a relatively small (sealed) box if you want to conserve space in that car...tis a nice one.

anybpdy else wonder how he got to the store in the first place? lol. Wonder if he drove.
I thought the same...kinda frightening
-
He annoys the hell out of me. Especially with that squeaky voice he's got
-
The short answer: don't have the dealer do it.
-
You're only looking for the valve covers? I thought you were looking for head gaskets, my bad.

Try rockauto.com
have had good luck with them for my Jeep

Anyone who owns a Cherokee of any year knows that the rear drum brakes are garbage. I definitely know that about mine, which is actually kind of a special model (Limited, 2001 (last year built), skid plates, tow hooks, transmission oil cooler, heavier-duty suspension -- all factory)
I've begun to notice that the rear drums are barely doing any work, so instead of adjusting them and just putting up with it, I decided to swap to rear discs. I'll be using the caliper brackets/backing plates from a '96 Grand Cherokee (have parts in-hand) and the parking brake cables from the older (rounded) Liberty...not the new boxy one. (have those on order at the dealer - should have them in tomorrow) Aside from that, the axle seals, rotors, calipers, lines and pads will all be brand new.
Pics to follow sometime soon...let me know what you think

i ended up buying a ASUS nvidia based 512mb card. pci 16x 2.0. has hdmi output which i like. im really fine with what i have now but my video card brings my windows experience score down from a 5.9 to a 3.4
The new one gives you the 3.4, or the old one did? What model did you go with?
-
sparkle is just a OEM car with their boxing =| its no different whatsoever
What I'm referring to is the lack of customer service from that company. Plus the huge rate of DOA cards they happen to make...
I always recommend XFX and EVGA to people...bulletproof warranties and good shit overall. XFX stepped into the ATi market now, so now people can get ther HD4xxx and HD5xxx cards with no worries. ASUS and Sapphire are also good for the ATi folks.

I could always post up (or PM) a list of part suggestions if you wanted.

An Alienware is a dressed up Dell with some blue LEDs and maybe a liquid cooling system thrown in. It's still made of the same cheap internals at the end of the day.
Coming from a computer hardware engineering major, just telling you guys I know a thing or two.
If you're looking to only spend somewhere between 500 and 1000, I'd suggest building it. There are so many tutorials out there...plus for that money you'd be able to get FAR better components if you bought them all and built it up.
My $.02
-
I've heard Aleinware is pretty good.
Sarcastic comment or no?
-
I would stay away from them. I've heard a lot of times that their systems have sub par build quality, or simply aren't shipped in adequate packaging. If you want a custom computer from a reputable company, I'd look at some of the models from Digital Storm or Velocity Micro. A quick google search will get you to their homepages of course.
-
but you want a new one so here you go....

the card linked above me is SOOOOO much better in GAMING . but for internet surfing and watching movies theres no difference whatsoever.
I would still not for the life of me buy anything from Sparkle.
And the 9600GT is by no means a power-hungry card...
-
Yes, the black PCI x16 slot is what you want to be dealing with. As far as the video cards themselves, you could go with either a regular x16 or x16 2.0 one, you won't notice the difference. (they will both work in a PCI x16 slot.)
If HD YouTube is the most demanding task you have, I recommend the following:
If you need help installing anything, shoot me a PM.

I'll slap up some vids of that sub in my sig...wonder what that would do
-

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll make maybe $5 over the next year haha
big money

So years ago I filmed a video of me and my cousin putting ~120W through a 3" "woofer" we took out of a 2.1 PC speaker set. I decided to put it on YouTube afterward, and it's gotten something like 79,000 views. I signed in to my account, and was met with a notification that YouTube wants me to be a partner, so they place ads on that video (or others) and I earn some fraction of a cent per view from then on. If anyone can further explain this process to me, it'd be great! Like the title says, I'm really not sure what to expect.

I've been wondering myself actually about the differences between each kind of competition. I know there's the IASCA, USACI, bassrace, and for some reason I'm blanking on the rest. (long day, don't hate) What I'm basically asking is can someone make a sticky listing out all the 'leagues' of competitions and describe each one so that those of us who have never competed or are looking to compete can see what each one entails? Like the basic rules, popularity, cost, etc. of each one.
Just a suggestion.

What are your enclosure specs?
And is it the strokers that are all black and the stroker pros that have the clear plastic dustcap?
