  1. As said, whatever you get train then well. I had a husky/wolf mix that was more wolf than anything and he ended up biting my neighbor. He should have been an outSide dog though and not cooped up in the house like we kept him. And if youplan on not being around much and keeping him in a kennel most of te time, just don't get a dog. My sister has two dogs in a tiny apartment and they are kept in the kennel probably 15 hours a day total. Dogs aren't supposed to live like that... Good luck finding one!
  2. Currently driving a 98 Honda civic sedan. Been planning a big build for a while but just came across a truck a buddy told me about. It's a 97 powerstroke diesel truck. 4x4, extended cab, full bed, no rust, just a few dents, and kept up on maintenance. Only has 245k miles on it. She's in real good shape for what she is and I could prolly pick her up for about $5500, if not a little cheaper. Tires on it are about 40%. There is a small crack in the windshield and she's sunspotted up pretty good. Anyways, I've been planning this big 4x15" build for the civic, being as that's ad big as I could go. But I'd I picked up the truck loads of options open up. As for gas, my civic pulls around 32 in town, this thing will get 21 with a chip tuned down to 75 horse. Just looking for your guys opinions. I'll upload pics in a bit seeing as how im at work.
  3. goo gone works well, paint thinner also works.
  4. This. Holy shit...rofl
  5. An underpowered sub is an unhappy sub. All variables being the same a NON UNDERPOWERED sub will be louder and sound better. You are currently underpowering a sub that is begging for power. That is what was stated. So randomly going off about 500w vs 1200w and boxes...It might sound fine with 1200, but giving it more could also be an option versus just going for more/different subs. But as for the simple question, IN THEORY, two 15s SHOULD be louder then 1 18 being as all variables are the same and boxes are built to spec. Side note, jumping to calling everyone peasants = lawl.
  6. You would definitely notice a difference. Im sure those lvl 5s are laughing at the what, 1.8k they're getting a piece now? Thats a BIG maybe getting 1800 a piece. If you have no voltage drop and barely any impedence rise, then maybe...
  7. What Cma said basically. Also if you have a any kind of aftermarket intake (shortcam, cold air, etc.), the ecu needs to reset to account for the increased airflow. One of the most common problems is as Cma said, your iac valve could be dirty. It's normally located on the throttle body. Clean it real good, and do what Cma said about the battery. Let her sit for about 15 minutes without ANY accessories on. Also, this could happen if ts extremely cold out with a cold air intake...I've had iffy idles in the cold with such.
  8. Long story short, unless you're going for one hell of a computer with high end games are coding programs, the amd will do fine. If you want to spend a tad more, id highly suggest a i7 960. You can pick them up for $250 new and they stomp the amds (even their 6 core) in anything more then basic. You'll notice an increase with even bootup being faster, and they ate overclocking monsters. My 0.2 cents.
  9. If you don't mind the space, the btl hands down. The type x's are fine sealed, but I don't care for them too much in a ported box for their pricepoint.
  10. Update = long past due! Would rather buy this then drop 3 bills on a oscope, but I may have to if we don't get updates soon.
  11. The ones Wenn said are great for the price. I've used the dr dre beats and thought they had great bass response, but i feel they focused too heavily on bass and you lose out on the highs. I felt that with all their headphones except the studios...those are my favorite headphones and I use them for regular use and recording. Skullcandy is also a great earbud brand, I also enjoy sennheiser. Great headphones.
  12. Really depends on what you want...if you're wanting to hit the low lows, the sealed box will have to be bigger then the factory suggested cf, although I doubt those jbls will do great on the lows in the first place. Also, from my experience, running x amount of subs closer to their rated power is better then a larger amount of subs being underpowered. Keep that in mind. Due to your lack of power I think the 3 ported would be your best option. Also, 3 or 6 subs on one amp is fine, as long as they are all the same driver/vc config. As for the resistance...what kind of ohm rating are you wanting to run the amp at?
  13. I've had several sealed boxes...and you can still smell burning coils. Not as quickly, but still pretty rediculously noticeable.
  14. You cheat though, crx's are cheating. Nice score op, now add 2 more nightshades.
  15. The only real reason for DVC is you have more wiring options. Example: A 2 ohm SVC sub can only be wired to 2 ohms unless you have more drivers. A 2 ohm DVC sub can be wired to 1 ohms or 4 ohms by itself.
  16. When you're out shooting on your land in the cold, reloading mags is a bitch. Less you have to the better. Nice gun op. Been needing to buy a handgun for a while. Will prolly be saving up right after my build.
  17. Not sure if you ever actually crimped wires with a real crimper, but it is ridiculously easier and much, much faster to crimp wires the solder. The only reason it is "better" is because you can remove the ring terminal by just reheating the soder. Just an FYI. Really it just depends on what you prefer. Soldering IMO just normally looks better if done right.
  18. It being a 88, although they run for a whole, I'd say 900 is a little steep. Try to talk him down to around 700. Definitely check with a mechanic. Also check in the wheel wells and spare tire well for rust/holes. As for the car situation, you can't really help it f he wants to come. I proll wouldn't let someone drive away in it without some kind of collateral for sure.

    4ch amp

    If you can't spend the little over your $200 budget for the new aq, you can find them used for under $200, you don't see a lot of them used though.

    4ch amp

    For a great 4 channel I'd look at the aq4x90. Great amp, built very well, and best ptice point you can get on a new amp. Look at aq's site.
  21. I was curious as to the rating of your voltage step-down modules. I am going to be moving to a 18v system soon and was told the the 50 amp rating on the step-downs was a max, not a continuous rating. Also, how would I measure how many amps are being pulled by my cars accessories if I turn them all on? Thanks In advance guys.
