  4. Custom kick panels...

    the plan so far is tan, its a dark tan almost a peanut butter color thou. not sure if i can blend the color very close, but i guess i can always start over since the panels arent very big. going to start on them tonight. Id also like to glass the door panels and put some 6.5's in them but i dont want to recover or paint the whole door panel. still trying to finger out something there....

    So i havent gotten a lot done yet but i thought i would start the build log. for some reason photobucket wont load some of the pics. But ill post up what i have so far....

    Cant really tell in the pics that loaded, but the car was really rough when i got it, major dents everywhere, fenders were creased. I had it tinted at a local shop. 5% 3M all the way around. Cleaned the carpets, put some suede racing bucket seats in it. A grant steering wheel. Ive replaced the lower control arm bushings, upper arms, ball joints, a camber kit from and rear. New ground control struts and tein adjustable coil overs,Had it aligned. And started the body work process. Also ran some Knu 1/0 wire. Ill try and get the rest of the pics loaded. Heres what i have so far...

    yeah, i checked the voltage of the batteries and to make sure there wasnt a short. i also checked the coils of the subs. just to be sure. I mean the car doesnt get driven much, but...i wish i had some pics of it handy, but the amps are mounted on the rear wall, same wall that separates the cabin and subs from the amps in the rear. im about to go to lunch, ill try and take some pics with my cell phone. its not real clean right now so be easy on me. But i really am lost with it, i guess things just happen... :shrug:

    yeah i mean at least it wasnt a $1000 amp. but still, im kinda on the poor side of life for now, so a $300 amp is a loss for me. I know theres nothing more to do. im going to email them, the amp is only 4 months old by production date even, so...also im not a pro, but i have plenty of wire and batteries, everything soldiered and never had voltage problems before, and since i replaced this amp with another 3k i have no voltage issues once again. so fail on their part i believe....

    ok be easy here, i know im going to hear a lot of laughs well go figure expressions here. but..last night, getting ready to go for a drive to relax. I start the car let it warm up, start messin the the system a little bit. Maybe 40% volume, not cranked by any means, i notice my voltage is funky, its dropping to like 11.8 at half volume, which is not normal. so i mess with is some more, rev the car up etc...all of a sudden, poof, subs shut off. so i check sure enough i blew an ANL fuse for the amp. Audiopipe 3k by the way. so i start to replace the fuse, thinking something is a miss, and sure enough when i go to put a new fuse it, huge spark, and the fuse begins to glow red, so i unhook it of coarse, and smoke is coming from the vents on the amp. :ehh:

    so i unhook the amp and take it out of the car, cover off, nothing seems to have gotten hot. Amp isnt warm at all. i check the voltage of the car, resting at 12.9 with the car off, no direct short, throw another ap3k up and it runs great. so bottom line i smoked an amp. And im a little irritated with it, and will be buying a different line of amps......theres my rant. be easy guys

  21. why do you like car audio?

    I myself just love the build aspect of car audio, its very satisfying to build something get it all wired up and then feel the bass in your chest. also i just love music, so the louder we can get the music the better. It really calms me down to drive around and listen to the system as loud as i can stand it. Ive been addicted since i was 11 years old, im almost 23 now, i dont see my addiction going anywhere.... :drinks:
