  1. I like that feeling that hits when the bass cuts on and you can feel it in your chest.
  2. Definitely want one. Hopefully it will in fact be a nice price. I also agree that they will run out very quick and most of us will be waiting on back-order.
  3. I say my voltage drops and you automatically assume I clip my amp on a daily basis or something... I ain't even gonna say anything.
  4. x2 I am running a AQ1200D and a DSC450(50x4) and have zero drop. Steady 13.6v full tilt, stock alt, no extra batteries. Damn really? I have an AQ-1200 as well pushing two 12's and my voltage has scary drops. Might just be my gain though..
  5. If your Exploder is anywhere near as reliable as mine, I wouldn't spend very much on it. Cheap rims and some ebay grill will do nicely.
  6. Hidden sawn off mounted in the front of the car aimed at the spot where someone would have to be to take your amp. Connect a string from the amp to the trigger and when they pull the amp up, they get ther head blown off. Yeah yeah that's fucked up but I hate thieves.
  7. Man that song is great for bass demo's haha. I play it myself. I like the install; really clean. Can't wait for that reality show.
  8. AQ-1200D..the one I have now. New guy here. Lol I'm sure most of you know what an AudioQue amp looks like...
  9. THREE HUNDRED?? USD? Damn I have unlimited texting and 450 minutes (I'll be lucky to use 50 of those minutes in a month) for 60 bucks a month. I don't use internet and even if I did, it's just be an additional 10 bucks. EDIT: Stick with verizon. That coverage chart thing they use is the truth. My parents have AT&T(on iPhones) and they say the coverage isn't the best.
  10. Sweet. Been looking to get a HO alt. Will def check this site out. EDIT: I can call/e-mail yall to get price quotes for an alt in my Scion, right?
  11. Damn Steve, you ain't even that old.. You're one loud Grampa though. =p
  12. I've sat in Chode's Durangho when he had it cranked up. 150+ on two 18s is definitely something. Can feel it in your chest fo sho.
  13. I'd download it if someone gave it some bass...
  14. Looks like you already got some good advice about what it might be but I had seemingly the same problem on my Explorer (and still do) and someone said it could be a vaccuum leak. Could be either of these problems I guess.
  15. As usual this is gonna look badass. Really making me want some new wheels on my car..
  16. 2007 Scion tC. 4 Gauge power wire ran from front battery, through a hole in the fire wall that was already there (from the factory). It then goes down behind a panel in the drivers kick, and under some trim next to the door. From there it goes behind some trim that covers the rear speaker. Next, it goes behind the rear seats, and into the styrofoam area that has my amp. The ground wire just goes from the amp to a bolt on the chassis behind some of the carpeting, rear of the amp. The RCA runs from the HU, through the upper part of the passenger kick, behind the same trim pieces mentioned before, but instead of going behind the seats, it just goes straight to the amp. The remote wire follows the same path as the power wire. Except it starts at the HU of course. The wire is from a RF amp install kit that came with 15ft of power wire and like 2 feet of ground wire. I think the RCA cable was about 12 feet or so. I used every inch of it. EDIT: That hole in the firewall is at the top behind a bunch of random shit. You can fit your hand in there is you have skinny girl hands like me. You have to get your head down near the intake to really see it and I could only manage to work blind as I couldn't look at it and work at the same time. I'll post info on wire needed for the big 3 once I do it next week. If you are going to use anything bigger than 4 gauge, I recommend finding an alternate path than the one above as I have a hard time trying to squeeze the 4 gauge under some of the trim panels. I'm sure you could route it through the center console with out any problems though.
  17. Nice roof flex man. hah Shit is loud as hell in person.
  18. Funny Subaru WRX ad on Craigslist A friend of mine showed this to me and I just thought I'd post it here so ya'll can have a good laugh. Lol. This guy is honest and I wanna meet him. haha
  19. This is also a very good point. Thanks for bringing it up Alex cause I meant to say it but forgot. More or less, it's not worth getting a battery that is not meant for car audio. Ones like XS, Kinetik, Shuriken, etc are all designed to be spill-proof and won't leak. Anything else is for under the hood. Plus, walmart and autozone or w/e are not meant for the stresses that we put on batteries. They will most likely just die or do something stupid like catch on fire or something . Stick to specific use batteries and you will be fine. I am definitely not going to get a Wal-Mart battery. I know enough that those just don't cut it. big 3 yes, cap NO! a cap will do damage to your system, and it will never ever replace a battery .....what I wasn't looking into getting a cap since I work with a guy who has one and he still has significant headlight dimming. He's a big time car guy so my guess is everything is hooked up right so the cap just isn't good enough. I also said wat. Lol
  20. If my step dad doesn't have one sittin around his garage, I can get one at Wal-Mart for like 12 bucks. No big deal.
  21. Big 3, got it. I don't know what my voltage measurement is however I do have a stinger voltage meter coming in the mail so I'll definitely have a better look at what is going on with my electrical system. I'll definitely look into the big 3 a bit more and start ordering the parts I need. I have also been looking into alternators, but like you, I'm not made of money so I don't really want to dish out $600 on top of everything else I'm buying. As for revving the engine up, the dimming is still fairly noticeable so a HO alt would probably be best.
  22. Well it's official, the lights in my car now dim to the beat of my subwoofers (if they're up enough, of course). I know about the battery guides advising which battery is best for the amount of power you're running, but my question is a bit different. Would my dim problem be solved with just an upgraded battery under the hood or would it be smart to get one under the hood, and a secondary one in the back? I'd rather not put an extra one in the back right now, but I will if it comes down to it.
  23. The box was pre cut out (sub holes, walls, sides, all cut to size). The only thing needed was to assemble everything. Glue, screws, etc It's tuned to 38hz.
