  1. No I'm usually the only one who has the time to get to it. I now am going to school full time and working my ass off so my timed isn't so free anymore. Almost all my posting comes from mobile now. Top it off with the ones who say can I be this or that? No asshole pick a name I'm not holding anyone's hand for a name on the internet. It makes me not want to bother when I see that

    Whatever. Fuck it, I don't care anymore. Good luck with the forum, and sayonara.

  2. 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.

  3. Here is the response:

    No, sellers can't really rip anyone off. You have ebay buyer protection, Paypal resolution center, and you can always file for a chargback with your bank or credit card company. On this case, the buyer purchased the item, we shipped it and he asked us to cancel the order. We paid $27 to ship, $11 for return service fee and another $27 for return freight fee. So far we are out $65, not counting ebay final value fee for selling the item. We need time to process the return package and refund. We have been in business for over 10 years and do millions of dollars a year in sale. We do not want to risk it all for $300.

    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?

  4. With a salvage title the car will have zero resale value, just keep that in mind.

    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.

    "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.

  5. 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.
