Dude you'd be shocked... but yeah... the main thing I can't stand is seeing people on here "slowing down" songs, when you could get Chopped 'n' Screwed, which is way better IMO.
Do either of these sites run the risk of viruses?

I know I know, I'm gay for watching it.. and after we started watching some Spice World, even gayer.
Something in the smoke I think hehe
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! I used to watch Spice World all the time when it first came out and I turned out fine.

chrome isnt a metal type its a coating, and no dont powdercoat over it, sandblast the chrome off then prep it and powdercoat over it.
I got owned. Well that means you don't have to worry about pitting it.
-
its night right now cant do much... but lets say its either of the 2 thermostat or just a hose how much do u think the repair would be?
Well the hose would only be parts and you could easily do it yourself. I'm not sure about a thermostat though. Call up a parts store in the morning.
-
Thermostat more than likely needs replacing, when one goes out it will typically make the radiator overflow because of excess heat.
That too. I've seen it happen on a tractor before.
-
yessir it smelt horrible! and might i add the car runs fine..
Check to see if any of your hoses or blown or anything.
-
so i was driving along ht the gas a little harder cause i was inbetween 2 trucks and i didnt like it next thing i know it says check coolant temp rises smokeing but not much hotter then normal... usuall around 98-101c but now was around 111-117(highest it went) i got home poped the hood clear liquid everywere... i dont know much about engines but im guessin somethign to do with coolant ballast or radiator?
If it was smoking and smelled of antifreeze than you definately blew a radiator line i believe.
-
I think it depends on what type of media you are blasting it with. I'm not sure if chrome is softer than other metal types that people comonly mediablast. I'd probably try powdercoating it after a real good cleaning first to see what happens.
-
is it possible
if it is the chrome is coming off my rims
is it safe to powder coat over it
Yes.

:Sorry ahead of time if this has already been done many times before, but I joined this forum to talk with people and damnit I'm going to!
:Anyways, lol.
Lets take a trip back into our noobish days.
Feel free to answer any or all of these questions or don't. your choice.
What got you into car audio?
What was your first experience with car audio?
and finally...
What was the first system you owned (subs, amps, radio, etc.)?
My first system was all from Wal Mart because I didn't know what quality was and neither did any of my friends who recommended I buy my shit from there. I had 2 10" Sony Xplods in a sealed box which was actually custom built and really nice, powered by a 760w Pioneer Wal Mart amp, a shitty Wal Mart Sony deck which I still have. I also still have those shitty Dual illuminite speakers because I thought they were awesome. And of course, Scosche wiring from Wal Mart all around. Even though it sucked, it got me hooked for life on bass and I've gone through four sets of subs including that pair and the ones I have now which was all a waste of money that i should have saved to buy REAL equipment.
okay, your turn.
-
Is anyone else trying to figure out how it wen't from lies to volcanoes?
-
Thanks for the help guys. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with some DC subs. But it's nice to actually have people to take car audio with. lol. One last question: Sould I upgrade the system in my car first or use my money to buy a car and put a system in that? lol. I'm pretty sure the system i have in my car now is worth more than my car.

www.dcsoundlab.com
WCRusty is the owner of DC Sound Labs. You can pm or send him an email ([email protected]) and he'll get you squared away if there is no local dealer of DC subs near you.
Do you have any idear how much two 12" level 3's would cost?
-
i'd look into some DC level 3's. they are a dual 2 (or 4) woofer and you can wire it to 2 ohms on your amp to get 900-ish watts to them total
Whats a good website to look at those at and possibly buy them from??
-
if you really like the p3's and your on a small budget id go with those. i use to have two in my tahoe and they were pretty nuts. great sq subs too.
What kind of amp were you pushing them with?
-
How about these then if you're dead set on doing a pair of 12's.
Rockford Fosgate Punch P3D212 - $149.99 each ($299.98 for a pair plus free shipping) they would be underpowered though.
Rockford Fosgate Punch P2D412 - $99.99 each ($200 for the pair)
Or you could reach out to Mr. Flowers on here about those DC's. Level 2 or 3 12's would be good.
If I bridge down the wiring to my amp, it's capable of 900 wrms. I'm pretty sure the rms of the p3's is around 500w.
-
So based off the $800 budget and the fact that you want to build around the Kenwood KAC-9103D amp. This what I've come up with.
Wiring Kit
Kolossus Flex 0 Gauge Dual Amp Power Kit - $109.99
HU:
Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X993 - $239.99
Speakers front doors:
Kicker KS650 $74.99
Speakers rear doors: (This is optional for now)
Kicker DS680 -$44.99
Your total right now if you include the rear speakers is $469.96. That leave ya with $330 left to play with as far as subs are concern. You have a few options with this but you'll be limited with your current amp setup and car electrical.
Subwoofer(s):
If you wanted to do a single 15 sub here are some decent novice/beginer setup
Orion XTRPRO154 -$169.99
Rockford Fosgate Punch P3D415 - $169.99
Kicker 09S15C2 (S15C2) -$199.99
Dayton RSS390HF-4 15" Reference HF Subwoofer 4 Ohm $158.99
Dayton RSS390HO-4 15" Reference HO Subwoofer 4 Ohm - $158.99
Dayton TIT400C-4 15" Titanic Mk III Subwoofer 4 Ohm - $219.99
You really didn't say what size/amount of subs you was looking to upgrade too. If you go with any of the options above that will leave ya with some extra cash left over for misc items such as box building material and or shipping for those items that were not optioned with free shipping.
Thanks for doing some research. lol. That H/U You picked out was actually the one I was really interested in getting btw. But I was looking to get 2 12" subs which I should have specified.
-
better question is what escort forums are you on?
NEUMAN
I was a member of The Ford Escort Owners Association (FEOA) Forum but I was only on it for like a week. lol.
-
i suggest you start with the electrical. like ugrading your power and ground wires this will set your foundation for any future upgrades. look into knukoceptz, shok and soundquest for wire good stuff at decent prices. dont bother with the kits make your own all you need is some ring terminals and the most inexpensive anl fuse holder you can find but be sure you get enough wire for the "big 3"
So the first upgrade I should do is the "Big 3" before i even bother buy new equipment? I'm not really planning on keeping the car I have currently. I just want to upgrade what I have subs and radio and then when my car finally dies, put the shit into a new car. Unless it's worth doing the "Big 3" anyways??
-
what are you looking to accomplish, SQ or SPL?
if SQ, i would go with a Fi Q
if SPL, Audioque HDC3, DC Level 4.
I'm looking for hard hitting bass that could break a rib. And SPL.
-
if not what amplification are you running?
A kenwood amp. it's 500 wrms at 4ohms and 900 wrms at 2ohms per channel. I'm running it a 4 ohms though. It's actually a pretty nice amp. the model is in my signature.
-
sonic electronix is a great place to buy from u could get at 12 t2 for 240.00 apeice thats probaly what bestbuy charges dor the p3 rockford subs ar good sq and spl
I just looked and they are actually about $450 a piece for the t2's.
-
do you need the whole overhaul? like amps, power wire, speaker wire, rca's, subwoofers and speakers?
I'm not too concerned about speakers right now but I'm mainly looking for a new seet of subwoofers and a head unit. And a good wiring kit because I am currently suffering from voltage drops and I feel bad for my amp. lol.
-
First and foremost, this is my virgin post. Just to give a little background, I live in a small town and I've only been in a couple other vehicles with systems that were only beginner systems because it's just not that big where I live. I've been in the car audio game for about a year and I spend most of my free time just looking at car audio on the internet. I'm super passionate when it comes to car audio and I'm always looking to learn something new and I always make sure I got my facts straight before I even open my mouth.
But anyways, the point I'm trying to get at here is I'm ready to upgrade my system, But the only other brand subs I've experienced in person besides mine where Sony XPLODS, one of them bazooka party packs, and a blown JL W0.
I have about $800 to spend on upgrading my subs and head unit and I'm just looking for some specific recomendations to get the best bang for my buck. I personally was looking at some Rockford Fosgate P3's.
Thanks for looking!
