  1. Whatever. Fuck it, I don't care anymore. Good luck with the forum, and sayonara.
  2. The mods have obviously abandoned this thread...
  3. Hey guys. Would like my name changed to "Stereolab", I can't remember why I began using "Merzbow" in the first place, I don't even like that band...
  4. Whatever happened to rapping about being poor?
  5. Carpet is really the way to go. Hides imperfections, hides screwholes if you move stuff around, protects the box. Then you just have to worry about painting the inside of the port. Bedliner would be my second choice. The only decent painted MDF boxes I've seen are ones where the guy uses like six different types of paint and filler with two dozen grits of sandpaper and it takes three weeks... far more difficult than finishing and painting even fiberglass IMHO.
  6. Fucking hell that's awesome... a car PC, custom rear-view monitor, wall with giant speakers in an era waaaay pre-rap when no songs had any < 50hz material at all (so he had to build real-time audio hardware to generate that material), multiple alts, battery banks. In the mid-80s. This is shit that 99.99% of people in car audio just started doing like 5 years ago. Fuck me.
  7. Jesus H. I was considering getting an AudioControl processor but your experience has now convinced me otherwise.
  8. You could do brain surgery on the floor of that shop it's so clean... looks like ultra top-notch work is being done there.
  9. You have to be a detective and go step-by-step to rule in or out specific pieces of equipment or wiring as the cause. See the link in my sig. Every situation is different.
  10. Try plugging an iPod into the dqxs instead of the HU...
  11. Ground loop, ground the dqxs to the same location as the amps.
  12. Can you post the Torres screenshot?
  13. Here is the response: So he appears to be claiming he'll refund the OP minus expenses, but needs more time to do so. Is this what he told you Snowdrifter?
  14. I PM'd the seller on eBay asking them to clear the air here.
  15. Wrong, the loan value of a salvage auto is 80%, meaning it does have some resale value, just not the same as a clear title. You would be surprised how many cars out there are salvage title. A lot of times, it may be minimal damage, but the insurance totals it out cause it cost more to fix than what they consider it to be worth. http://www.foxbusiness.com/personal-finance/2011/06/03/5-reasons-to-avoid-salvage-title-cars/ "Most salvage title cars are priced at least 5% below market, which seems like a good deal. But in most cases the true value is much, much less. Consumer Reports calculates that a salvage-title car is worth 50% of its Kelley Blue Book value, at best." If one has any intention of selling the car someday, then it never makes sense to buy it back with a salvage title.
  16. Go to Google Shopping, search on "gates <model number>". If you're lucky Amazon has it, if not there are like 3 stores and eBay that always have them that are pretty reliable.
  17. Justin Bieber on 18k watts. Love this video...
  18. With a salvage title the car will have zero resale value, just keep that in mind.
  19. Ground your HU all the back to the same grounding point as your amps with 10g wire. Pull all extraneous connetions from HU, like the antenna jack, those could be grounding out also. Make sure you HU metal case isn't grounding out. Make sure your amps metal casings aren't grounding out. Run new RCAs directly from HU to amps over your seats. My god there are a million things to try... Google and start making a list... within an hour you should have 100 items on that list to try. Every time I finish an install I have to fix at least 2 causes of alt whine and they are never the same 2 causes.
