  1. Nah, what you need to do is go into Preferences, go to the Advanced tab, and make sure check "Copy Media to Itunes Folder" or something like that. That way whenever you play a song, or import something, it'll automatically copy it into the folder and it won't be lost. You won't have to worry about organizing individiaul files in folders...

    I used to keep my music folder extremely organized, but when I stopped using Windows Media Player and got an iPod, I realized there's no reason for me to worry about the folder when Itunes would copy everything to it's own folder. Now I just import the CD I downloaded, let itunes copy it, then delete the folder. SIMPLE!

  2. Recently I got the gig at a local bar looking to have a few dance nights each week. I'll be primarily playing/mixing the top songs on the Billboard 100 as well as some tunes from past years. Basically stuff they'd play at a night club, just no techno (yet).

    Looking for a DJ name, so I'm hoping yall can help me as I don't think it's right to pick one yourself. I'm hoping to get about 5-6 good ones, then let my co-workers pick/vote for one.

    There's nothing I'm really known for except the following:

    I'm a big guy, think 6 foot 280 lbs.

    I'm a huge Virginia Tech fan (even got the logo tatted on my arm)

    I'm known for always having a loud system in my vehicles.

    and I ALWAYS wear a 5950 Fitted New Era hat.

    Help me out!

  3. Well first let's get your dimensions right, I THINK he means:

    15 1/2 deep x 51 wide x 45 height.

    I drive a 2001 Ford Ranger, with the extended cab doors that open up in a "suicide" way, and I've measured my width at about 53 inches. You can fit 4 12"s across if the outer diameter isn't to big, so you can EASILLYYYY fit all the 8's and 10's you want to. My plan is to run the 4 12's in a ported box that comes up just above the window line. If you're willing to wall it, I'd say you could probably run in the middle teens as for the number of subwoofers.

  4. I don't know what you call it, but you won't gain or lose volume with the direction the subwoofer is faced. Subwoofers aren't like regular speakers, how if you point the speaker towards you it's louder versus if you point it away from you, bass just GOES, doesn't matter which way it's facing.

    I know if you reverse fire the subs, like with the magnet on the outside of the box, with how the cone is shaped adds a little bit of volume to the inside of the box so it may sound different like that, but you could face the subwoofer in the most random direction in the trunk and it won't change.

  5. Thanks for the response yall!

    I'm currently designing a box to fit 4 CVR's into... proving tricky. Trying to fit 4 in a ported enclosure around 33hz... don't know if it's possible, the math is looking tricky but I think it's doable... pretty much using the entire space of 52x13.5x20.5. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to build a port that "wraps around" the inside of the box. But it'll sound good if I can pull it off!

  6. The dash kit was simple. Just remove the stock head unit and push the entire thing in. There were little clips on mine that just apply pressure and keep it from coming out. Then you install the cage and turn the little tabs as usual.

    I'll try and get a picture sometime this week though.

    I'm thinking about a ported box but I'm not sure, got a few ideas rolling around in my head, we'll see what all happens.

  7. First let me say I love this forum, so many great installs and ideas to grab from to start another idea.

    I got this vehicle about a month ago and the first thing I got into were changing out the door speakers, head unit, and adding some low end to it. While it's not as impressive as the rest of the installs I've seen, I thought I'd post and get feedback from everyone... This is my second install, but I consider it my first because it's the only one I'm proud of. Here's a list of what I'm working with:

    Headunit: Alpine CDA-9886

    Door Speakers: Kicker KS5.2 (5.25" with 1" tweeter w/ crossovers behind door panel)

    Subwoofer: 12" Kicker CVR Dual-4OHM Voice Coils

    Amplifier: Rockford Fosgate 700s

    Note** Wood pieces are now covered in black carpet and a few things ran differently. Will try to get a picture of new carpet/wire runs ASAP

    Please no hating, but 'constructive' criticism always appreciated. :-)
