  1. Here it is! Now i only messed with it for about 30 min and i haven't listened to it in my car yet. I definitely am gonna mess with it some more. Please give me some feedback so i can make it better. Thanks!

    Murder Bass (JL1 Bass Remix)

    Definitely sounds a hell of a lot clearer but it also doesnt seem to hit NEARLY as hard, course the 12's I have hooked to my comp arent tuned good at all and have no kind of bass boost so it could just be that. Anyone else have this problem?

    Hell yeah!! This is freakin' sweet. It's definently gonna get a lot of sound system play. Keep us updated.

    Well Im glad I could start something then

  2. Hella good track, but yeah I agree with you, clipped and distorted to hell. Maybe you could send the link over to Decaf. Maybe he can fix it up and work his magic.

    I was thinking about that but wasnt sure if he does requests. Is the only way to help the clipping to slow it down? Ive just noticed all his songs are slowed so I wasnt sure if thats how he does it or if he just likes it slow

  3. Run the wire under the car. Btw, why can't you get it through the dash?

    I have the stock stereo out and when I try to drop the new wire through they get caught somewhere and I cant find them, if I could them Id simply finish it the proper way.

    are you trying to power an amp off the HU power wire? cause if you tap into a wire that small you WILL burn it up. just drill a hole in the firewall and run the real power wire through it. dont risk burning down your car man.

    NO no, Im trying to just get the HU itself hooked up

  4. Long ass time ago I was watching some magic thing on tv and he showed how to do this one card trick where you pulled out the ace, king, queen, and jack of each kind, put em together in a certain order and put them back in the deck. You could cut the deck as many times as you wanted (aside from once of course) and somehow when you flipped the top cards over they always managed to be in the same order ace, jack, queen, king of the same suit all thru all 4 suits. I know it worked cause I used that trick a thousand times as a kid to mess with friends and guests but I completly forgot how to do it.

    Got any help?

  5. make sure your tip is clean, also make sure you tip is tinned. Get you a small sponge and get it wet but not soaked. when the iron is hot take and roll the tip in the damp sponge. this will get any extra solder off the tip and help clean it up a bit. then take some fresh solder and get a little on the tip and roll the tip again. this should tin the tip and make soldering easier. it shouldnt take 5 mins to heat up the wire but depending on the thickness of it, it may take a min. also if you are going to try to resolder the wiresin the pic i would cut that out and start fresh.

    EDIT:

    just found this, it should help you out some. when you have some time just get you some scrap wires and practice man. once you do it a few times youll get the hang of it.

    how to solder

    Great, thanks dude!

    velvetdreams:

    I outline the exact way to achieve a perfect solder connection, as well as how to properly make every other conceivable connection in my book - Automotive Wiring and Electrical Systems. You can pick up a copy at your local Barnes and noble or order one from Darvex, Mobile Solutions, Amazon.com, Jegs, Summit Racing, etc.

    Best of luck.

    If I didnt recently lose my job Id prolly look into buying it, unfortunately Im looking for free tips lol, sorry man

  6. heat the wires really well before you apply solder. Make sure you have flux core solder. This looks like a cold solder joint. The solder should flow into the wires if its hot enough and if you have flux

    I tried using some thick stuff my mom had in her basement but the stuff wouldnt melt for some reason so I used some much much thinner stuff she had but it wasnt on a spool so I dont know about any name or anything

    thanks for the info, anything else I should know?

  7. pull the passenger sill plate, and the bottom of the back seat. Run the wire out the bottom of the dash, under the glove box, down the kick panel, then to the back, under the rear seat, into the trunk, to the factory amp just on top of the passenger wheel well. It seriously takes all of 20 minutes to do. If you car run RCA's, you can do this no problem

    the only RCAs are on the new HU for the amp and acc. Thanks for the info, Ill start working on this when I can stand being outside that long (no garage).

    You have to run wires from the tuner in the trunk. The tuner can be in 3 different places depending on the model of the car 1. back of seat 2. right side of trunk 3. under rear deck . Metra makes a relocation harness 70-1856 that comes with everything you need.

    Unfortunately Metra's product page wont load and when I emailed them about it they sent me a different link that doesnt work either.
