  1. What would you guys do in my situation

    Posted

    okay, so last year this kid I know stole a pit bike from a local arctic cat dealer and went one craigslist and found someone who would trade for this red mini chopper. well I however did not know the bike was stolen and he said he got it from his cousin. He gave me gas to bring him AND the pit bike to where the guy with the mini chopper was. So when we got there the guy test drove the bit bike and was talking about how it needed a little work and he would need something to boot seeing as the mini chopper he had was in pristine condition. So now my friend straight up says. Yeah I'll throw my friends system he said he was cool with it. I was kind of angry at this and had to talk to him about it. When we were talking he said he would give me the system he had coming in the mail or give me money later. He had a job and he somehow talked me into it and then no problems until now...this happened in August of last year and its June 2011 and guess what. He still hasn't payed me or anything. multiple attempts to try and get my money from him but have got nothing. I know this may be kind of low but he stole that bike and didn't tell me till after, and then later on in the year he stole a Snap on tool box with ALL Snap On tools and like $2000 worth of impact tools in it and he sold it to someone for $1200. Now he has a job working for the state doing road construction and is getting paid well over $30 and hour and he bought a 2000 something monte carlo and last night a crotch rocket and anything else he wants. Since he refuses to give me my money should I turn him in for stealing all of that stuff? I'm in a hard position

    That is a hard position man. Id def. stop calling him a close friend if he has a moral compass like that.

    Your best bet will most likely be small claims court if you do want to pursue some kind of action against him. You made a verbal contract with your "friend" and in doing so you provided your end of the contract but he is yet to supply you with your new system...so (because you waited this long to deal with his lies)your defense will have to be that he now has a job with sufficient pay to supply you with a new system where as before he would have most likely broken the law again to come up with the money, or another system, to uphold his end of the contract.

    Good luck man...thats a tuff one.

    if you're not a lawyer don't dish out legal advice if you are a lawyer you would know that he really doesn't have a chance in hell in small claims court

    I didn't say I was a lawyer..and I said his best bet would be in small claims court IF he wanted to pursue some kind of action against his "friend". As for his chances..I didn't know you were a Judge!? Either way this is lame to argue over.

    Its ur call man..like I said before..tuff one.

  4. System approach..

    A lot of opinions and a ton of help..that is what you will get here. It comes down to personal preference and what you feel at the time but for myself I am looking to purchase an amp that has plenty of power at 4ohms (600-1000) but has the potential to go as low as 1 ohm and throw some serious 2000+ power when i want to update my sub(s) batts/alt setups.

    A lot of the answers so far are great and i def. agree with a DC audio sub or SA. but again..its what u like and are into.

    Good luck.

    A few minor fixes with the brackets on the amp (Took them off) and also 2 plastic casings over the seat bolts had to be cut to make everything fit properly. Finished product = clean install with only 1 wire showing.

    Thank you both for clearing this up for me !! I find the 8th gen forums a little hard to find a decent answer...you guys helped big. Thank You !!

    Right now i am running 800RMS at 2ohm to one sub. I want to add 4 components, 6 tweeters, and dc subs. I am just trying to figure it all out power wise since id be adding another 2000-3000 watts. i was thinking HO alt from DC and a xs d3100 batt.

    Right now my headlights dim real bad so i only have my bass at half. but i am trying to learn more and more and plan it all out so i can make a new system.

    THanks again for the help!!
