awsome bro!!! i love the way that "squaro port" is lookin. Keep up the sweet work, can't wait to see more vids and pics!!! :^

sweet!!! :^

with a normal air suspension set up, the air bags/air sturts do not automatically refill themselves. The reason that struts are "more comfortable" is because they are able to expand when going over a pot hole or whatever may be in or on the road. Air cylinders are not able to expand because it is metal/steel. the struts on other hand, have rubber air bags on them, rubber = flexing and expanding. The newer stuff from air ride technologies is able to level out your ride at the set ride or pressure height, so if one of your struts loses or leaks some air, the computer will automatically refill it, leveling out your ride. The kit you are looking at has some small ass valves, i think 1/4". The bigger the valves the faster the air pumps and dumps, the quicker you can adjust your ride. As for the different ride heights over speed bumbs depends on how fast your switch finger is as well as how fast your system is. the quicker you switch the less air you allow into the strut, if you want to fill your struts up all the way and get to your max ride height you can sit your finger on the switch and let the strut completly fill. it all depends on how many how much control you want, you may want to only go front and back, or you may want to go front back side to side. I don't know to much about the new computerized leveling system, but with my air ride i was able to get my car pretty level just by seeing how much air pressure i have on the gauges. Although i did love to drive with the rear slammed on the floor, and the front in the sky. The looks i got from people were definently worthy of being a kodak moment. :^ if there is anything else i missed or am wrong about, hopefully some one can correct me. goodluck with everything!!

one more point to add is: if you insist on air cylinders which are cheaper than air struts (most of the time), you can balance out the bumpy ride feeling, by using air accumulators. Air accumulators basically expand the air chamber of the cylinders to make a less bumpy ride. :^

sq. inches of a port is the width x height of the port face. In your case your sq. in. would be 120.

is that from personal trial/error, or is that more of a general rule that people follow???

oh ok, richard small that was stupid of me :-[ i was just wondering where exactly you got that formula, any links??

who is R. Small? and where do i get his formula. i wanna compare it to other formulas.

i had air cylinders on my accord. the problem is, while they are efficent being nice and fast and can take high psi (in my case 180-200 psi), they cause my ride to be extremely bumpy and uncomfortable. The reason that struts might work better is because they use an airbag, which gives and flexes much more than a steel tube(cylinders). I don't know how much psi they can take but i have ridden in cars with air struts/air bags and the ride is much more comfortable than my ride with the cylinders. This is just my view on past experiences. Hope it helps, maybe someone could correct me if i am wrong. :^

mark my words!! that is gonna be one of the most memorable car audio videos ever made!!! unbelievable!!!!

so i should use some kind of epoxy to attach it to the wood, and then when you say wax the threads on the bolts, what do you mean? what is the purpose behind waxing?? also what kind of wax?? one comment said to use loctite, is that what you would recommend??:-[

that is true, i see your point, but are there gold or silver bolts available??? i know that in a hardware store like homedepot they don't sell them, but who knows, they might have them in some kind of specialty store... plus you could always take it to a jewler and see if they could plate some bolts..

AWSOME!!! thanks for sharing that idea. i have a quick question, what do you recommend using to fasten some high powered subs, such as a btl, mt, solo x, etc... I used some drywall screws on my box, but i heard that if you ever try to switch out the subs the drywall screws will easily strip the mdf... do you recommend some kind of heavy duty threaded t-nut, or what??? once again thanks for sharing that idea!!! :^

no way, our batteries are grounded to the chasis??? LOL!!! of course i know that. just wondering what everyone thought was the best place to run a ground...

how do i test the resistance of my chasis??? where do i put the positive and negative probes??? thanks...

Did you guys see that woofersetc.com now carries RE products??? check it out..... http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?curren..._account_ID=109

ok, but what happens if your amp has only one ground terminal??? i can't ground it to the chassis and the extra battery... it's either one or the other

thanks bro, but does it matter?? what is the advantage of grounding directly to the battery?? (just wondering)

would it be better to ground amps to the chassis of a vehicle, or to the negative terminal of the extra batteries??? how do you guys have it on your own rides???? :-[

i think you can buy different colored hid bulbs. I know the higher the temp the more purple they look.. check em out on ebay

another sweet vid!!!

BumpinLow what vehicle are you going to do the install on??? just wondering

i'm trying to figure out if the btl's are ported thru the motor(magnets), or if they have some other kind of vented cooling feature... :-[

meade, are your btl's ported for cooling???
