  1. That's a very touching story, thanks for sharing! I'm sure your grandfather would be proud of you for going back to school, and doing the right things in life. And karma will come back to you, so just keep it up! And good luck with all your adventures in life, and starting your own sub company. There is nothing like pursuing a dream!
  2. Umm, hell no, not in 8 minutes! Dude it took me forever to do this! I picked one hell of a time to learn how to edit! Anyway, it's done now, just gotta upload and process. Thanks guys for all of your help! The new copy of Windows Movie Maker did the trick! You gotta get Windows Live Movie Maker, the other one is from some other company, and it sucks ass!
  3. I think I figured it out! I had some bs copy of Windows Movie Maker, not the one from microsoft. I installed the K-lite mega codecs pack, and the real WMM, so now I'm gonna go try this again. Keep your fingers crossed for me..... Sure hope this works!
  4. Okay well that didn't work. Almost 12 hours in, and I still don't have a clue what the problem is. This sucks. Also, I don't have a mac, so Final Cut Pro X will not work for me...... WTF should I try next?
  5. Sweet, thanks man! The problem I'm having is this: I tried wmm for over 2 hours today, when I go to save my project, it says the source file cannot be read. But it can obviously read it enough to let me make the project, just not save it.! Idk? So I am about to try again, after installing the latest divx codec. Also I am downloading Final Cut Pro X trial version atm. So, any suggestions?
  6. Thank you sir, got it, and installed it a little bit ago! Thanks man, I am dl a trial version now! Hope it works out for me! X2 X2 Thanks! Man, I would just let you do it for sure, but I tried uploading them to rapid-share earlier, and it was gonna take 6 hours! Plus I'm a stubborn mf, I am bound and determined to figure this out now! Thanks for the offer though! I appreciate it! Ahhh, too late! I already installed all that crap that comes with it! FML! Should I un-install it now?

  8. So does anyone have any suggestions? I noticed that my computer doesn't want to play videos, but if I watch them online, it's fine. Do I just need to update something? And what software should I use? Thanks!
  9. I have tried several, I think the problem is actually my computer. Maybe I don't have the proper video codec? Man Idk, but it is frustrating me to no end! Dude your avatar is hilarious!
  10. I need some help editing my new video for SOTM, and I figured I would hit you guys up! I have been trying for 2 hours to do this, and I have wasted every minute of it. If someone who is good at editing will please do the dirty work for me, or at least help me do it, I would very much appreciate it!
  11. Man, that is really cool! And very similar to my story as well. Actually, if it's okay, I'd kinda like to tell it real quick now, after reading yours! I was into car audio growing up, and always had some sort of a system. But at age 18, I fell in love, and had a kid, and did all the family things for the next 9 years, all while still playing with car audio in my spare time. But then, around 2003, I developed some bad habits, and within 2 years, I found myself divorced, and depressed. I wasn't suicidal, but I was strung out on drugs very bad. I finally hit rock bottom, also back in 2008. I lost everything I had, then finally I got busted with some stuff, and the judge made me chose between rehab or prison. I chose rehab, obviously, and it was the best choice I have ever made! While in rehab, one of the things they forced into our heads was that you must have something to occupy our time, and our thoughts. So, when I finished my six months there, and came back home, The first thing I did was to find a job, and buy my PT. Right after I got it, I had to have some bumps, so I installed a $100 Walmart system, and that did it. I was hooked all over again! So I started hitting youtube, and I found this cool guy named Steve Meade, and his beastly 4 -18's, and the rest is history! So I too can honestly say that this site, along with car audio/ mobile electronics, has saved my life! And I'm not the only one that has benefited, but also my son, Shane. He has lived with me full time ever since a few months after I got out of rehab. His mother also got into trouble, but she chose a different path. So in prison she sits. So, I guess you could say that it has helped make me and my sons life better! Because it's really hard to say where I'd be had I not stumbled in to this site, or revamped my love for car audio.... But it's like they say, everything happens for a reason... And btw, I'm glad that it jammed on you!
  12. Hahaha A friend of mine actually said his was louder one day and not the next, and when I was adding bigger wire for a new amp he had rattled his ground loose which would make it do that.. I was gonna say, yesterday on my way to your house, I noticed the same thing, the same song getting louder at times. It was my bass knob shorting out, I unplugged it and it fixed the problem. But damn the luck, I really loved my bass knob ;( But yeah man, check all your grounds and rca's, and bass knob if you have one. He shouldn't have any voltage issues, he's only running 500 rms.
  13. Hell yeah, you guys w your chevy's have it made! Wish I could mount a second alt! Or a third, or fourth.... Jk man! Can't wait to see what's in store next!
  14. Thank you all so very much for the votes!!!! No matter what happens, this has been an awesome experience! SMD = #1 site on the planet!

  15. Well I got a little something yesterday... 12oz Mt Dew Thanks Kevin, the subs look awesome!
  16. Okay here are a few anyway! Each door will hold this: I got a bunch more to do today, but I'll try to start a new build log by tomorrow.
  17. Damn I gotta move out west! You guys have all the fun! You too Rob! Damn I want a demo... Shit looks wicked loud! What song is that by the way?
  18. Sure go ahead! So, I've been busy, anyone wanna see some new ninja pics?
  19. Thanks man. As I said before, I planned the .75ft3 of extra space in the ported section on purpose, you will see. It's all good! And thanks again for doing that for me, I'm sure it was no easy task considering how I designed it, with a pencil, a notebook, a calculator, and my brain! Ninja pic Again, considering, you did an awesome job! Many thanks! Now to get it built!
  20. Thanks man, yeah I seen how happy you were with them, and figured I'd give them a try! So, thanks for the influence!
  21. Anyone else wanna see a ninja pic? Okay, so I came up with a design for these subs in my car, but I suck BAD at sketch-up. So, I got some help from 412 CVX, and now I have a sketch-up rendering! Big thanks to 412 CVX, I guarantee it was not easy with the info I gave him, but as you can see, he's pretty good!!! So here is what is about to happen: Stay tuned fellas, Stage 3 starts TODAY!!!
  22. I'm starting tomorrow actually, but just on the doors, dash, and interior color change. Probably be a couple of weeks before the actual wall building begins. I'll be starting the new thread in a few days! Hell yeah bro, look out!
