  1. yeah. like i said its with a digital camera, not a video camera Ill be investing in a video camera once i get my car back i think. I just wanted a crappy video :-[
  2. LoL its not the best by any means, I made it with a cheap digital camera and windows video maker. No time was spent on the video what so ever, it was done out of bordum so dont knock me too hard please because there is like 10 12 second videos chopped together :^ So saturday night when I was done bouncing at the club, my car wouldnt start. My starter took a crap. Its going to cost over a grand to get it fixed because I drive a cadillac seville with a northstar engine, anyone that knows anything about cars will know that the starter is inside the engine so that means everything from the top end of my engine down to the heads needs to be removed. I dont got time to do this and its about a 10 hour job of not longer so the chevy dealer is doing it, I think labor is somewhere around $85 a hour. So with that said and done, I took the valubles out of my car. Mainly the sub and amp. lol So with my box sitting on my floor, and a fried sub in my powered sub box for my home theater I started to play, just to see if the dd would even move at all, which it did a little, nothing much tho. I was more amazed with the port. So heres the video, its about 10mb and hosted at megaupload. enter the 3 digit code at the top, and wait 45 seconds to download. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R4SAKA35
  3. Its onw of them grey bears with the white tummys that eat koala leaves I think. I wouldnt mind having one for a pet, but I hear they are mean
  4. Oh and as far as eminem goes, I got nothing but love for him... He has some of the sickest freestyles. I just wish he would still be with Dj green lantren, but 50 cent f*cked that one up for talkin shit........
  5. ~50 cent is a joke.... Chicken little out sold the movie get rich or die trying. ~50 cent stold his name from a dead drug dealer and tried actin like he was him. ~50 cent never got shot 9 times, he got shot 3. ~50 cent dissed ja rule because ja rule "sings" but then 50 goes and "sings". ~50 cent snitched on a lot of people like erv gotti. ~50 cent has meetings at the federal building, and gets 3-5 fbi members to tag around with him at all times (he is scared from his snitching). ~50 cent is not respected in NY, even tho thats where he claims he comes from and lives. ~50 cent signed gangsta rappers like mobb deep and many others to diss game, after many rappers dissed him, 50 finally comes out with a song, that says everything else that all the other rappers said, he cant come up with his own diss. ~Only "b!tches feel his shit, and you can find him and loyd banks in the club hugging. ~50 cent says gunit way too many times. Its in every song no matter who the artist is. ~50 cent got dumped by a hot ass model because he couldnt get it up. I could go on and on.... Most of what said in rap is fake, but 50 just blows.. Anti g~unit, g~unot & bws all the way. I also got a few Game songs dissin 50 cent and gunit on myspace http://www.myspace.com/indosmokinb
  6. yea, ive seen a few things about their amps burning out, Ive seen some guy on ebay offering to repair them and upgrade some of the internal compononts for more power. I didnt know the logitechs had all that, so Id deff go with the logitechs. All around logitech is a good company with good cust service. Im a proud owner of a logi g5 laser mouse, a logi desktop mic, and a logi g15 keyboard (omg so many options for programs that can be ran on the lcd display, its unreal, plus you can make your own!). Only bad part is I first had a 1st gen g15 keyboard, and my key paint was wearing off, I emailed logi, and they said, send it back in, and well give you a new keyboard. So I send it back in, and got my new one in a lil less then 2 weeks, with my old one too... I got 2 g15s now, but my old one I yanked the leds out of :^
  7. The forum doesnt use much at all. You just got to figure you get 100 people downloading that eyeball video which is 9mb (100x9=900mb, which is almost a gig), then if they tell their friends and their friends tell their friends that means way more downloads. Then if those people are a video wh0re like almost everyone else is, they will download every video on the dang site, which gets to be a lot of downloading. I got no probloms donating here soon, I just gotta get a checking account opened up here, and transfer some cash from the savings. :^
  8. heh. I got a 250 amp breaker on my + for my big 3. I got another 250 under my hood that goes from my front batt to my rear. Then I got a stinger digital readout amp/volt thing with a 300 amp between my rear batt and my amp. I guess Im all fused up :^
  9. Well my stock wire that goes from my alt to my bat + is not going through any fuse box, I dont want to fry my 300amp alt, or my redtop, so I got a 250amp stinger breaker on it. I see that Meade himself also has his big 3 fused. Ive also read tons of times to fuse it. So theres a bunch of people doing it. Why take the risk of frying a $3000 amp, or a $400 alt, or even a $140 battery when it can be prevented? Right? right. If you got a spare fuse or breaker do it, Its not going to take you but and extra 5 minutes. Not trying to be harsh or anything, but if its worth doing, do it right the first time.
  10. The ones in the ebay link are just pro media 5.1, there is also the pro media ultra 5.1 which come with a different controler. The ones on their site have a different controller. I thought I also remember even seeing some older ones with even a better controller. http://www.klipsch.com/products/details/pr...-ultra-5-1.aspx I hear ya on the controllers tho, They got to be all fancy looking! Which I give the logitech that much. Although I do like the headphone jack on the klipsch controller. It would be hard for me to choose between the two. I like to play alot of CSS and would almost go with the klipsch just for that headphone jack. But I just use my normal home stereo which is hooked up through my pc, and I power my Sony MDR-V700 headphones through that. More power, and cleaner sound, and I can hear footsteps accross the map in a game. Either way, if you going to drop your wad on some nice pc speakers, you wont be let down with either or. :^
  11. I got to agree with that, although Creative Labs is on the cheaper side a tad compaired to the other two. You wont be able to find anything better then Klipsch, they got it on lock down for pc audio, with so many models to choose from. Next Id have to go with the Logitechs, they always performed well, lasted long, and played loud. Here are some klipsch on ebay, they are not the nicest ones, I think they have a model or 2 higher above this line. I had some 2.1s along time ago, I got from a friend and they whre pretty good, all I got left now is the sub box and the two 6.5s in it. http://cgi.ebay.com/Klipsch-Promedia-5-1-T...1QQcmdZViewItem
  12. oh, by no means Im not saying they dont know their stuff. but they talk their products like your a dumb customer. :R
  13. they where called simply punch power dvcs, model number 2212. Dual 4 ohm coils. This was at least six years ago, maybe longer. Way before the power hx2 line. edit: here is a 10inch on ebay for sale... dustcap says punch power dvc http://cgi.ebay.com/W-W-NEW-FOSGATE-POWER-...1QQcmdZViewItem
  14. The extreme in manitowac...I dont know if the shops are in anyways related to each other, im thinking not though. The place in mil town is called Extreme Automotive on fonddulac ave I think is what your talking about. Ive pretty much learned alot from a friend of a friend in town here, but was told he dont know much of anything about stereos according to extreme.. Check out some of his stats for not knowing anything http://www.splmax.com/competitors/2000/aug/aug.html He was telling me how him and Jeremy Weber are teaming up and doing a build with two 18s and around 40,000 watts.. Im trying to get in on the build
  15. HA :^ Im not really a Rockford fan anymore, although I do miss my 2 12" Punch Power DVC's (I could almost put my fist in the voicecoil vent)... Those where my first real subs, then I got on that hcca kick. But sh!t man, id take RF over JL anyday........... Everytime I see jl I think of crap... Its overrated and over used... Every shop trys to sell you it... Or some Bosten Acoustic sub that looks like a frickin 6x9 that is the loudest sub around right now, and it would take out my dd9512, and I got no reason to argue with this shop because they tell me they got all these trophies from "events", but what they dont tell you is all their "events" are hosted by themselfs....... and the funny part about it is, they never heard of digital designs or spl dynamics........ How can you be a competitor and not heard of these major brands........... I can see not knowing spl because it is from finlind, but still anyone into audio should of at least heard of it.... So if you live in wisconsin stay AWAY from Extreme Audio, the only thing extreme about them is their prices and their BS they hand you... Ok vent over......... :-* :-*
  16. The digital designs forums are not to shabby. They dont seem to be too biased at all and can be pretty helpful :^ http://forum.soundpressure.com/
  17. Im deff a css player too... Im teh ownage at it... boom awp shot for the win!!!!! :R I will most likely own anyone at that game. If you got game get at me! My xfire is cpytrw :^
  18. Well since I have a nice 4 day weekend this week (besides the friday and saturday night I am bouncing at the club) I decided to go ahead and carpet the box, paint the port, and ended up making the rest of the box 1.5" thick (before just the front baffle was 1.5"). I was also wondering about going ahead and fiberglass resining the inside of the box, not sure how much it would help though. I still got time to make up my mind on that though because I still got to redrill the holes for the 8 gauge speakers since the box got thicker and I have to go buy some bolts to hold the sub in, It snapped 4 screws that I noticed when taking the sub out. So heres a few pics of the box being almost done. Of coarse another sub pic or two... Here are some pics of the car when I first got it. It had a kx650.4, kx1200.1, two 12" kicker l7s (firing up into the rear deck that was cut out), two 1fared RF caps, audiocontrol overdrive, all RF wiring, pioneer hu deh-p680mp (liked the cda-9833 better so thats what went in the car), and pioneer ts-c130r components in all 4 doors. So I guess the stereo got updated a little bit for its better. I should get my ext-3000d back in a week or two, hopefully they will have all the bugs worked out of it
  19. Im pretty sure you should fuse it by the alt and by the batt, so two fuses on the one line. Id recomend using something like the stinger circut breakers, just incase the fuse would blow, all you would have to do is flip a switch, and not go and have to dig around under the hood trying to replace a fuse. But that depends on how much room you have to work with. Theres no room under my caddy hood, so circute breakers are just easyier for me. Are you running a high output alt? If your not, I wouldnt even really worry about fusing it, stock wires are not fused going to the battery, the fuse is too mainly to protect your after market alt that cost $400 or more. But If you do the big 3 and you fuse it, remember to remove the stock pos wire otherwise your fuse on your newer thicker gauge wire is useless. Hope that helps you some
  20. My amp is getting ext-3000d is getting sent back in this comming monday to be fixed again. I was told by the repair shop that they will go through it better, and run it in their demo vehicle for a few days to make sure it is worry free. (im hoping that they will do something about the repair bil, but who knows). :-X Hopefully this time it works properly. I had a feeling that it wasnt correct after setting my gain with the ROE volt calculator (although I used rms watts, and not peak, I wasnt sure on which to use, so I went with rms). I entered in 3000 by 1 ohm, and it said 54.8. I tuned my gain to that on a really nice dmm, and well lets just say it didnt sound like 3000 watts or even close to 1000. I had a pioneer class d amp in the car when the amp was getting repaired, it was rated at 500watts rms and 1000 peak at 2 ohm (not 1 ohm stable, but took it fine), and was pretty close to the same volume. I also had the line driver in with my ext-3000d and it did nothing but put my amp into protect with amp gain all the way down, and line driver gain all the way down.....
  21. INCASE ANYONE WAS WONDERING ABOUT THAT 1 FARED RF CAP, It is for the Clarion 4channel amp, it needs it... LoL Im glad everyone likes the port, I think its sooo sexy.. Was thinking about throwing some carpet on the box sometime this weekend since I got a nice 4 day weekend thanks to thanksgiving. We just wanted to get it all in the car and hear how it sounded.. That 1 12 put the two 12 inch kicker l7s to shame!!! Until the amp popped! So I just took the cover off my spl dynamics and inspected it a little and say this, I thought it was cute enought to take a picture of........................ Ever wonder what a good amp looks like compaired to a kicker kx1200.1?
  22. oh belive me, that box is glued!. It is glued where the wood meet the other board, and then again along the corners on the inside of the box. i used power grip or something like that. I threw the tube away already. But if you ever seen the commerical where this guys neighbor is working on his house really early in the morning, and wakes the guy nextdoor up, and he walks to his house and grabs the guys hammer that he is banging on his house with, and runs a bead of the caulk along the hammer and glues it to the guys ceiling then walks away. We did cheap out a little bit tho on the wood, we used a old box we made for some dd 3515s that was 11cubed tuned too about 45 hertz that sat in a mazda mx3 firing foward.. That was a big box!!! heres some pics I took with my cell before I got uncheap and bought a digi, but it will give you an idea of the box size... PS: Dont diss the audiobling, right now I have more respect for a 2400watt rms amp at 15.5 volts for $400, then the spl dynamics that is 3000watt rms at 14.4 that costs almost $3000!
  23. Theres about 6 hours into the port. The flames so remind me of an audiobahn amp
  24. :- So I had two 12inch kicker l7s that where starting to fry, so me and a friend built a box for his sub that was just collecting dust in his room. So we build this box and get it all hooked up. It sounded pretty good, went to adjust the gain to 54.8volts on a multimeter, and started banging in our old walmart parking lot. And whats the amp do? It FRIES!!!!!!!!!!! Again! I just got the thing back from getting fixed, I guess a couple powersupply and output mosfets where burned, and a pcb board. So Im assuming its the samething again.. But there must be something causing that to make them keep blowing. I dunno what, but its really starting to suck. I would of thought the amp would of kicked into protect or something, but I guess not... But heres some pictures... Its not the best install, but it gets the job done since we had to work outside because the garage is trashed beyond belief... LoL Box was 3.66 cubed before displacement, tuned to 32 hertz. 1 12inch Digital Design 9512 w/carbon fiber dustcap and triple stacked magnet 1 spl dynamics ext-3000d (3000watts rms at 14.4)
