  1. Copper clad Aluminum

    Only drawback I personally know of is less current flow. Oxygen Free Copper can handle more current (350A or so) than CCA (300A). But it's also cheaper (CCA) and depending on the price you can get it, it MAY be cheaper to do 2 runs of CCA than 1 run of OFC. I'm sure more knowledgeable people will chime in though. :)

    Edit-OK so maybe CCA isn't good for 300 lol (see post above)

  4. Best place to buy tail lights?? and looking for suggestions

    its funny you mention those... From the beginning i've liked those lights but ive really wanted to see what they look like on a silverado... Any chance of getting your buddy to take some pics and send / email me them?

    Well...sorry, but I can't. lol I just found out he wrecked it last night after a car show. Nobody got hurt, just the truck, his ego, and a phone pole. The pics Beatbox posted should be good enough though ;)

    Those look clearer though, my buddy may have VHT'd his a little, they seemed a bit darker.

  10. for anyone who works in auto paint and body

    in Interior / Exterior / Paint - Detailing, washing, waxing,tricks of the trade!

    I'd say 1-2 weeks (where I work, we are understaffed and busy, so it may be faster wherever you are) and we'd charge around 2500 just for the paint work for a full color change (jambs, interior areas where you see the color, etc.) PLUS any bodywork. Remove & Install (R&I) time for the handles, emblems, quarter glass, most likely taking doors, hood, hatch off the car, it all adds up. But on the other hand, we mostly do insurance work/repair, so a custom shop may be a good amount cheaper, AND be faster. We turn out about 100 cars a week, while the busiest custom shop I know of around here MIGHT get 1-2 cars done each week lol. But stay away from Maaco or any of those "$399 paint job" companies. You will get what you pay for.

    Sorry for the long post..

  12. port ratio?

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    Posted

    Is there any difference between these 3 ports?

    30" x 1"

    10" x 3"

    6" x 5"

    they are all 30^2 but is there any difference? More port noise with the thin port? Just curious, going to build a few small boxes and play withe the tuning before I build a box for 4 10" and decide I don't like it lol. I have never seen any certain ratio, but then again, I've never been around people that know what they are doing :) Thanks

    Planning on 4 10s. Not for sure getting the amps, but for the price...I'm really leaning towards them. For right now, I'm only planning on the 2 amps, but later on, may upgrade to one per sub if I feel like I need it :) and if I can figure out how to cram more alts under the hood lol. Thanks guys, I guess I can start designing a box now.

    Kinda off topic- I'm sure there are a few, but I've never seen a multiple alt setup on a truck like mine. I'm going to email Iraggi & DC in a few days, but in the meantime, anybody seen a setup for a 99 dakota, 3.9L?

    edit- Naturally, Thor's PMs are full lol. I'll try again later, it'll probably be a few weeks before I need a real price anyways :(

    I'm still in the planning stage now, but my newest plan is 4 10s in the cab of my Dakota. I was thinking 2 Crescendo 3kwps and 4 XL's (with full electrical of course) in a 8 cuft box, tuned to 30-32. But now I'm also looking at level 5 10s. Being in Kansas nobody has anything besides Alpine and Kicker, so I haven't heard either sub.

    So, if this was your setup, would you do the XLs, or slightly underpower the 5s, or do something else completely? It will be my daily driver, no comps, probably demos every few days, not chasing numbers... Also, I'm trying to stay below the window line, so I'd like to stick with 10s, but a wall isn't COMPLETELY out of the question. A blow through is though (yes, I'm a pussy :) ) If I need to, I could get around 10 cuft without a wall, haven't checked what size I could do with a wall.

    By the way, pricing on both (XLs, 5s)would be appreciated, I work long, messed up hours, so when I call DC, nobody answers. This is the earliest I've been home in 3 weeks lol 14 hour days SUCK, but they also help fund my system so.. :/

    Thanks in advance guys
