so he can hear the awesome lyrical metaphors?

all the cook kids sit in the back of the bus. and on the short bus, all the seats are in the back.

see...thats where im bad. i text on the highway, i keep most of the difficult texting to when im at a stop, and im pretty good with texting without looking at my phone. i can text by touch, but the fact remains is ill be texting a im driving down the highway, take the exit, and so forth....lol

its law here in alaska, and i agree with it....but i still text and drive =) and not trying to say its a good or cool thing either. just something im admitting

i can only think of a couple of the channels off the top of my head but heres goes... igotitfasho zteam teamfourstar derrickcomedy

actually he did....he said 2 l5s 400 watts each

on 400 watts apiece? i need to sell all my rf amps, and my fis and invest in kicker l5s and an 800watt amp =)

because you have people who use jl audio because they truly love the company. and then you have people who have NO idea what theyre talking about stating kicker and jl to be the best audio subs in the world. and that 2 of them broke 160dbs EASY

......................

ive installed these for people. 2 lanzap opti15s which didnt suck, but when you compare to other subs in the $400 range they blow. the optis arent as cheap as their max partners but seem to be more cosmetic than performance. but in my opinion, if youre already going to be paying $400 you might as well do it right. funny thing was they did NOWHERE near rated power which was 3000watts rms and 6000watts peak.

dont go with lanzar...please, lol i gave a small list of AWESOME subs from good companies that all make 8" subs that are really cheap. if i had to choose, i like the diamond audio d3s and the jbls. really nice for size, power, and price. i just installed some infinity 8s into the rear door of an sti here and they sound incredible.

very true. i know thats what it means, but honestly i have never had any luck in rewriting the cd. so ive gotten used to when its done its done, lol

i believe once you burn to a cd and finalize you cant rerecord on there.

dude...one of the things i find annoying are people too lazy or incapable of doing their own research. asking for suggestions...totally cool. but needing to provide you with links as well? google has a search button for a reason. also since you already own some audiopipes maybe asking them what they think would be a good match for the subs is a nice idea.

dont take this the wrong way...but youre an idiot. i know it sounds harsh, and thats not how i mean it. just..there are some things that are EXACTLY what you paid for. finding good deals are one thing, but going the cheapest route wont work out at all. especially with lanzars. i have installed for many people trying to spend as little money as possible...i have to say one of the worst things i have ever heard. but if youre set on these lanzars, check them out online. both for reviews (im assuming you dont have firsthand experience or you wouldnt be thinking about them) and for cheaper prices. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/cm_18_623_Lanzar_Subwoofers_8_Inch_Diameter.aspx?PageNum=1&SortField=0&SortOrder=0&ShowAll=False&AttrID=1&AttrValue=8&RowIndex=2 if youre not looking for something with the sundowns pricetag i would reccomend looking at RF p1 or p2s, kicker cvrs, diamon audio d3s, infintity references, or jbl gtos. all of those are available in 8" subs that can actually be listened to without wanting to shit in your ear just to hear something nicer.

which plastic pieces you talking about?

when people are on a tight budget this is what i usually do. to help them out but to also make a profit. pioneer championship subs at online at like $75 each and are AWESOME subs. then a very nice 2000watt amp. really youre looking at $300 before wires. but i also shop craigslist and negotiate lower prices. iowa should have heaps in the electronics section.

for cars i charge $1000 midsize suvs $1300 trucks/suvs $1800 and that includes my buying the paint =) but the prices definitely go up if theyre wanting something extra nice, glossy, or candy. but like you, im in alaska, lol

now mind you I AM NOT SAYING to pay out the ass because you dont know how to do something. i mean, common sense would imply you would shop around and find deals, do research, and make an informed and smart decision. i think his price and what he is asking for is incredibly steep. but its still his price. cant argue too much with that. go to maaco, smaller paint shops, check online, go to craigslist and find what works best. but at the end of the day you still must pay someone else to do it.

actually...in my opinion...it does. is it fair? nope. but thats why you learn how to do it. i just find it funny when people who cant complain about the money people who can charge. its what they want, its what they think is fair. its how i started learning how to do a lot of stuff. i wasnt interested in paying someone to paint my cars, or build my bed, or lay down wood flooring in my house. so i learned how. everyone only has two options. do it or pay for it. cant complain. if you find something cheap, by all means good on you. but if not, dont complain about it. its that guys profession. its his money to be made.

omnis not bad... but i totally get where youre coming from dude. im only saying if you cant DO then your only option is to PAY someone who can. so theres really not a lot of room for wiggle there in my opinion. if youre short on cash, what you can do is check out auto services on craigslist and find someone willing to do it for cheaper. but either way you still have to pay someone.

i love it when people say to eff off for someones price. even when someone is ripping off someone, youre stuck with 2 choices. either you paintt he car yourself or pay someone else to do it. theres a couple things to look into when doing paint jobs. are they doing the inside doorjams? engine bay? trim? it can be a lot of work to sand down, fix the body, primer, then paint. i never charge a lot, id charge about $1300 for an explorer if the body wasnt in too bad of shape. but ive charged up to $4000. of course that was a truck RIDDLED with dents and whatnot and they wanted twotone candy paint. bottom line, in my opinion i dont think $1600 is expensive. either you do it yourself or you pay someone else to do it. kind of hard to complain about how much something costs if you dont knwo how to do it

also, take a stroll through onlinecarstereo.com really easy to find good deals on quality stuff while checking reviews and comparing prices.

pioneer championship subs are awesome subs that dont break the wallet

this isnt a bad thing, but shops need to make money. i find the price to be a little steep but if you dont know how to make a box you really are limited in the options available. if you feel frisky, try making it on your own. it can seem very daunting at first, but you could start by making smaller test boxes to get the hang of it and then tackle your task. in my opinion, if you cant make one your only choice is to pay someone else to do so too. you might check some other local forums or the auto services on craiglist to find maybe someone else who could make one for cheaper.
