  1. I had a 99 SVT Contour (in 99 and 00)... I ran a MMATS on 3 W6's sealed and it slammed. If you want to run low constantly though you have no choice but to go ported in which case doing even 3 would be tight unless you dedicate the entire trunk (well close to it).
  2. What's wrong with them? For <$200 (mine was free) they are hard to beat.
  3. I just used a Flip UltraHD. Does ok and you can get them now days for <$150 ($99 yesterday). No matter what cam you use it's going to sound like crap without a separate mic (and a good one at that). This flip doesn't distort too bad with the bass compared to some of the more expensive camera/video options.
  4. Post em up man they are done processing
  5. Actually as a general rule the guys that show up at large companies to work on your desktop make next to nothing. The companies the big 3 used around here were paying something like $9 an hour. Horrible... IT isn't overpaid... We get screwed out of holidays, are on call 24/7/365 (in most cases), are responsible for ALL of your data, your backups, your emails, your files, your desktop, your laptop, your phone, and it goes on and on and on. It's a PITA high stress job more often than not especially when you're a net/sys admin. These jobs go beyond complicated especially when you came from a time before Google when people actually had to know stuff... I'm a really nice guy, but I used to be a raging asshole and the only reason I'm not anymore is because I had a break from lusers and well my wife made me relax. My last 4 jobs were through people I knew (which covers the last 10 years). This latest one was a childhood best friend who I haven't seen since I was 12 and it turns out he has owned a consulting business for 10 years and needed help. Wish I would have known he did this 10 years ago...
  6. Most skill based jobs pay well. IT, carpenter, electrician, iron worker, pipe fitter, etc. Number one problem is that these jobs aren't growing right now (except IT obviously) so making the switch now will be a serious problem. Honestly if you don't have any skills yet then making a switch now is more than likely a very bad idea. All of the skilled guys I know started when they were 16 or 17 and back then there was more work than workers. You would have to go to school to learn the trade or take a job which won't start paying well until you hit journeymen. I've been in IT since I was 18 (16 years) and never finished college. Back then I had gone for 2 years with CS as my major and I just couldn't take learning Cobol and Fortran and other crap that was out dated when I was 5 years old so I quit. While I do pretty well not having a degree does hurt you on the job search itself. Once I would get called in for an interview I was golden simply because experience is king, but getting that interview is another story.
  7. NP man, I've used tons of apps and screwed with a few roms over the last 14 months I've had the phone (obviously), but now days I use it for mostly work so I've trimmed it down a bit. I'm actually up for a new phone (have a hero now), but I still don't know what I want. The damn EVO is just too big. I want an updated Hero
  8. What's on my phone now (sans root crap) Android System Info Angry Birds Fandango File Manager Free Advanced Task Manager Notes NPR OpenTable PDANet Peep Ringdroid Scanlife Ustream Wifi Analyzer Yelp
  9. Under clock it or try a better PSU (one that is either more in line with the box's needs or one that's just more efficient). Outside of that really the only other thing you could do is put it in another room/closet.
  10. Do you know anyone with a ton of messages running an EVO or Epic? I'm chugging along on a Hero w/ 2.1 and it's literally killing me at work. For contacts with a ton of interaction (huge history) the screen at times will take upwards of 30 seconds to load a text from a contact with a large history. Or if I get a text or call while I'm writing an email or a text the phone just stops responding for 10 seconds. I know it has more to do with it being on an older platform, but just thought it was worth asking about on a newer phone. All of the reviews on bother the Epic and EVO are positive, but not with people who have monster history (they are just reviewing it so they might have 20 messages and an email for a given contact). I'm still not sure if I want an Epic or an EVO though... How is the keyboard? On my Hero I get a good 5-8 words ahead of the screen which is pretty annoying.
  11. Thanks man! What happened to you running woofer(s) anyways? Slacker!
  12. I had dual 300a Iraggi's. Their idle amps were close to Mechman (within 20a), but since my pulleys were to small I was actually getting close to full output at idle. Mechman completely rebuilt my 4 plug Iraggi for far less than a new one. The 2 plug was working fine, but it blew up so I bought a new 2 plug based on an AD244 from Mechman and sent my Iraggi in to be fixed (for the 3rd time). I have it back and need to sell it one of these days. The long and the short of it. Matthew from Mechman rocks, he will answer any questions that you have because that is his position with the company. To take care of customers, unlike Dom who did it all himself which obviously took a toll because now he is MIA. That fucker still fucking owes me over $200 not including all the money I had to spend to get my one alt fixed, shipping 4 times, etc. Going with Iraggi literally cost me hundreds upon hundreds of dollars. $200+ on shipping alone (3 dead alts) 3 belts ($99) $200 on a bracket that didn't fit that he never refunded me for $225'ish to get my one alt repaired and the list goes on... Hopefully I can at least recoup $300 of that from selling this 2 plug. Hands down the worst experience I have ever had.
  13. No way man bust his balls all you want... x127 I wanna see him float some D cups
  14. Yea man it's pretty sick. I'm glad Aaron talked me into going overboard. I'll never have to worry about it again There are a couple small things I have to sort out sooner or later, but its long term stuff. I'm still not sure about the inductive pickup, I really want to incorporate it, but, meh, such a PITA. Maybe I'll find one at a junk yard and mod it. Shit I even have rear fusing now (never posted that) lol
  15. Couple people had asked for video's of the subs so I took this on the way to get Tubby's to feed this POFS cold I have... Bottle trick too, but um, yea it's my first one so don't expect too much In my cold driven haze I forgot to turn the subs up on the HU, was at -6 which I noticed when I started the next video (which is above). Oh and don't mind the voltage, it doesn't stay there long, just at start (the meter is off .3-.4 volts on the low side that's actually 15.7).
  16. Wow you guys have some great numbers! I got banned from Adsense in 02 I think it was... Never did find out why (they refused to tell me), but when my monthly check showed up it had an extra 0 so I assumed someone ran a scam on it rather than donating...
  17. I've used cut2sizemetals.com twice, great service (shipment was late due to ups, refunded on shipping) great people. I honestly wouldn't buy anywhere else after how nice and responsive they have been even with my small orders (.25"x1"x20 x2 copper) and a repeat of that a week or two later.
  18. Do we have to keep it down in the lot?
  19. Don't you still have it all gained back?
  20. Silicone it from the inside and be done with it. Sooner or later you are bound to need a recone so deal with it then. That's what I would do anyways...
  21. That's great, but this guy doesn't have an XP and runs his w/ a stock alt.
  22. For 15+ you have to run a VCM or MLA.
