  1. NO NO NO NO NO dont do this. Take the car to a mechanic or parts store and have them test the alternator. Depending on how old the car is you could and prolly will mess the computer up by doing this.

    BAD ADVICE IS BAD!!

    Nothing is wrong but save your money and FIX the problem not patch it temporarly.

    Why waste money on a cap when its not going to stop the alt from dying.

    Get it tested and if needs to be replaced do that THEN consider getting a cap later.

    well im not really in a place to spend money and i was told i can get a cap for 40 dollars and it would work..

    when im driving the rpms will move and my speed will move with every hit, barely

    the car is a 1993 nissan altima and has an aftermarket optima battery

  2. ok so yesterday i noticed that when i play my system loud, it causes my car to slow down, especially on every hit.

    its like theres a rope hooked up to the back of my car, and every time i play my system loud something tries pulling my car backwards. it doesnt actually go backwards, when driving it feels like the car is being "paused" for a second.

    also ive noticed my lights dimming more than usual.

    my music was getting quieter after playing it loud for a few seconds but its stopped. and as soon as that stopped, this started. and ill add that before yesterday (or maybe a day or two back) it did do the pause thing, but now its just worse.

    i have an aftermarket batter but thats it.

    stock alternator

    no big 3, etc

    ive been told to get a cap but i think that ive read on here where some people have said getting a cap is worse for you.

    im also due/past due (idk didnt tell me when i bought the car) for an oil change. i dont see how that could relate to it but maybe if im due for a change it could start acting that way?

    im not looking to buy anything new right now, im just trying to figure out the problem

    any ideas? thanks

    edit: oh and it sounds like my rpms are atleast 1k higher than what its displaying. when im at 2k it makes the sound as if im at 3k and wont accelerate as fast as it should be.

  3. Every time I read a comment you post, or a topic you make... I cannot help to think of how much of a badass you are!! :rolleyes:

    ok why do you have to be such a dick? swagger is an annoying word but swagga, swag, or steeze is not.

    < check my profile picture its for all of you that just love to hate

    x2. I never knew someone could be so awesome. ;).

    seriously what is everyones problem?

    < check my profile picture its for all of you that just love to hate

    I was told to be nice to him in another thread so ive got a nice new feature I like to use

    This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by deeemc Icon. View it anyway?

    im up to two on that list so far

    man fuck you seriously you are such a dick towards me, i was just replying to your thread and agreeing with it. way to go asshole

    < check my profile picture its for all of you that just love to hate

    I thought it was some kind of old spice deoderant.

    it is lol i have it

    EDIT: swag is style. so is steeze, just different ways of saying it.

  4. this happens to me and what people have told me is

    1 im not really wired at 2 ohms

    2 my electrical sucks

    3 its because the amp is clipping

    im thinking its just that i dont have good electrical and i have an old car which means old alternator.. and i only have a new battery thats all so i dont know i just go with it.

    its seemed to have got better recently now that i think about it. dont know why though, i havent done anything special

  5. Wow..... :rofl:

    hey when i first started looking for a system i saw funky pups on a forum somewhere and could not find out if people were serious it pissed me off so bad

    finally i got it was a joke though after people were like 1 funky pup did this on 1 watt of power (picture of a crater)

    he just didnt know but looks like he found out pretty quick, it is funny though

  6. Alright, well i'm very very new to the whole car audio scene, and know very little. I figured that having questions, this would be the best place to get them answered, so here goes...

    I was wondering, if there would be ANY way to get a new head unit, amp, 1-2 subs (10-12's maybe), box, and wired for about $800-$1000 and it still sound good? I'm not wanting a super bad-ass system that you can hear from 4 miles away, but i would like for the people next to me in traffic to be at least a slight bit irritated.

    I'm driving an 08 Chevy Silverado.

    So if it's possible, then could someone please recommend a good set up for around that price?

    Thanks,

    Jamie

    yea you could do it

    get two 12's off craigslist in box already and make sure they are running good and everything - round that to maybe 300-400 dollars? dont know really

    then get a amp for like 300-400

    headunits can be cheap so for now say 150

    so thats 750-950 right there without wires and install fees unless you do it yourself..

    and depending on exactly what you want those prices will change

    i think it could work.. but some of these other guys on here probably know better than me im just telling you what i think

  7. nobody has replied to this thread because thats not allowed here

    you could get banned i would edit this post and take the question out of it

    you could google for free mixtapes released by the artists as free but dont talk about illegal stuff on this forum

    only sayin that for your own benefit

  8. Very true. Is there an Audacity thread anywhere? Or could we turn this one into one???

    Wahwha is cool too. The effect kinda' reminds me of that one.

    dont know too lazy to check but if this were made into an audacity thread then i would help with programs like cool edit pro, virtual dj, and audacity

    and hey decaf who was your response to? i dont understand who or what your talking about ??
