I've seen a lot of member from Houston around but nothing up farther my way. I'm looking people that will know of shows and like to meet and trade install tips or whatever. Also looking for teams from the area. Basically N Houston report in. Huntsville here, About 30 mi N of Conroe. Our only good shop here just shut down I guess, I can't find 'em. They were a DD retailer too. The other one won't even build boxes or help you decide, they just sell shit and install prefab stuff for ridiculous prices.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbkFpXhV_1o You must look at it.

That's cool shit...

Because it's not a build. I'm just showing pics and pitching retarded ideas.

What about like 20 8s? I still have to able to afford it. =]

Hell yeah, With like a shit ton of those 6.5 Tang Bands or something. This will for sure be a Why not? car.

I finally got this ting running halfway right and driving again. It hasn't been started since 1997! I've had it since November but haven't had the funds or the time to do work on it. I'ts way dirty and the paint is fuxed but loud isn't always pretty. It's a 95 T-bird with power EVERYTHING. Even auto ac. Imma wall it off for the lulz. The trunk is TINY. Seems like a good place for a bunch of amps. I want to make it a comp car. This should be fun. =]

I was just thinking about this same thing. I'm considering mounting to smaller AGMs in the rear of mine and was thinking about the albeit goofy way I have it grounded. Might as well ground the amps the the batts to since they'll be like not 12" from them when done. Might as well come from the source amirite?

You know what? FUCK IT!!! Ill build it in pieces and use tiny angle brackets to hold it and glass the interior. Srsly Buick, get it together. Also, I think Imma cut on the rear deck, that bracey peice to give me a bit more room for movin.

I's that thing even real? It looks like a Mattel toy.

I was just about to type this. If your TV says 720p it's native res is 1336x768. I knows this because that's the way mine is, I also use a TV as a monitor. It's effing awesome.

But how to make sure I get the box sealed? Resin the inside after it's put in?

NOt really, I've only got about 13x30 space that way. The black plastic peice with the Buick logo on it hides the brace that spans between the rear strut towers. I'm about to sawzall something, really.

Moar pichas bump. This is how the boxes are in now because any other way they won't fit. Arggggh, Buick.

SO I have this problem see... I got all this trunk space and this itty bitty opening for it, the opening is like 29x18 usable. =\ But the trunk in and of itself is huge. I made a super hi tech box mockup that was 17x17x34 and even that didn't fit. So my options are 1 Build a tiny box that's no more than 29Lx18H and blend it in. 2 Build the box in the trunk. I really don't want do build in in the trunk because it then will be permanent cause I cant get it out AND I dont know how I'd go about getting it sealed and solid if I did that. What do? Is there a particular reason that you can't angle one side of a ported box? Any ideas that might help in this case? I can get pics of measurements pretty easy because right now everythings out.

Exacly that, WTB a mono class D amp that puts out 1kw rms for the $300 ish range. Slightly flexible on price, depends on amp. Should have a 4ga power input and put out power at 2 ohm. Other than that, I'm not picky. Any bites, ideas? Asking too much?

It's kinda sad when you have no IRL friends to rant to so I'll vent to you guys, here goes... So there's this girl right? We've been together for 5 years exactly now. Like as of today, we started talking feb 14 of my senior year 2006. Well all was hunky dory until I decided to join the Army. This was something I've always wanted to do. Sounds cliche but ever since I was a kid, all I ever really wanted to be was a soldier. So I was all fuck it, I'm doing it. I figured we had planned on getting married at one point and this would be a perfect way to provide for us and do something I've always wanted to do. All was well until I made it to AIT. Somewhere in the silence, she decided she would rather be single. But tell me? Oh no no. Anywho, the day came that my Sgt came and told me I was being discharged because of my ankle. I didn't have a leaving date, but I knew I was coming home. So I told her. She wal all YAY OMG I cant wait. This was a Wed. The NEXT DAY I was offered a PT discharge which would get me home sooner and I could come back in 180 days, right? I took it and called her, not the next day and the tone went from OMG YAY to We have something to talk about. So I was tripping out my last weekend there. I made it back and long story short she told me that she had almost messed around with some random dude she met. Okay, okay. We've been apart for a year now with conflicting schedules on the other side of the states. It kinda made sense. So we decided we would try to see if we grew together then. Once again as far as I knew, I was doing great. You know, random flowers, surprise movies and dates. All the cute shit. Until one day I decided randomly to check up on her. Turns out she had been planning to dump me the whole time but "I was being too reasonable." I confronted her about it and she indeed verified it was true and actually told me that not the night before she intentionally cheated again, just to try it and get me to break up with her. Well I did. But now 5 years of emotional involvement GONE for no good reason. Just because she wants to "See whats out there." Well after a bit of separation and soul searching I started to talk to her again. You know, to see where it goes. And she was receptive. Everything was going really great until today. Good ole Valentines day. I made sure to get the most beautiful flowers and cutest stuffed animal I could find. When I gave them to her she was speechless. Now I know why. I called her later, and told her that I never stopped loving her. Which is true, five years just doesn't up and disappear. And here it comes... After hearing that she apologized for leading me on... Turns out she's going on a date with someone she's never met Tuesday. The whole idea of us talking again was to be completely open and if it wasn't gravy, to let the other privy to that and rework a game plan. But no. That so totally didn't happen. Three strikes, man. I can't handle her anymore. It's officially done for. I'm sure I can find a nice girl someday that doesn't want to just use me a cannon fodder. Oh and the best part. She's going on the date because, and I quote, "Your job and your speakers are just boring. All you talk about are amps this and woofers that." But it's cool. The bass makes the pain go away. Good night SMD. I have a boring job to get to tomorrow to finance more boring car audio.

COOLEST STEERING WHEEL EVAR!

The thing is, I've never heard of Audioque.... Like ever. Or Audiopipe for that matter. I always hear people going ZOMG SUNDOWN/AQ/AUDIOPIPE!! and I've never heard of or seen anything from these companies and I've been around this for a minute or two. Fanciest shit I've ever seen at a show or comp are DDs. First I learn about these other brands is since I've been here and now they're coming out the woodworks. That's why I've always ran MTX gear, I know it's all good shit but for some reason MTX just tripled their prices on all their gear. Year and a half ago I bought both my 8500s and a 4501 for $600 now just a single 8500 is $600.

I've been looking at the bamf series amps for a minute and I dunno yet if they look like they'd do the job. BAMF 4000/1D BAMF 1600/4 Has anyone had any experience with these or PA gear in general? I like em because they put out crazy wattage for not much moolah and look nice doing it. But I'm still iffy on em. =\

That's one of those really long bastards ain't it.

Not anymore you can't.. Apple blacklisted 3.1.2 so you can't restore to it if you use iTunes. You have to update to 3.1.3. Dammit apple.

The materials they're made of. Wet cells use lead suspended in an electrolyte. AGM(Absorbed Glass Matt) batteries are made of win and Jesus or some shit. They charge and discharge quicker and have a almost non existent ESR. Also I could just be stupid and have no idea what I'm talking about, all I know is they fucking work.

Really, a walled Camaro would be a showstopper. A conversation piece if nothing else. Do it for the lulz.

Srsly, just lurk moar. Hang out here and ask way stupid questions until you start to catch on. Lurk the net and READ, read read read. Learning is part of the fun of what we do. Sure, in theory it works. Fine. But how? And why? And how do I make it better? WHY is this like this and not that? Why is a/b/c better than x/y/z? That's what makes this a passion, and not a bunch of annoying fucks blaring music on the highway. Just learn random shit. We weren't all experts when we started. Except Steve. That fucker was BORN at 150+ db.
