^^^ (@cleansierra) Been on many forums and seen many online communities inside and outside the audio world. Not only is this a great community but even though there is no "king" of subwoofers I would say the SMD series AA sub is freakin nice. I wish there were some on the east coast. The SMD sub does have like 4" xmax in both deirections though... Any way not trying to argue but I dont think he means too much harm even though I'm kinda new to the SMD community

Nice L7 kwag looks like ur enjoyin it

Your youtube the same name as here?

@swag: glad you don't have to put another 160 down that can hurt the wallet sometimes @beat: really? I guess it helps knowing the guy there and him having 20" rims with low profile tires on a eclipse. I guess colony tire would be about the only option to get a tire plugged like that. @jmilch: you pure need insurance on tires haha

Just patched a 275/65/r17 about two weeks ago. Tire went on 05 yukon xl and the tire has tire pressure sensors in the valve stems. I took it to wal mart and for 10 dollars they removed the tire, ground down around the puncture to the steel braid, and patched the tire from the inside. It has held up under many tasks towing two zero turns, towing a carolina skiff, and heavy cornering loads. I will say my man phillip at wal mart has my loyalty in the tire department

Adaptable to the KD-A315? I am lookin through the list and can't find it.

The JVC interface adapter is discontinued. Doesnt look like I'll be able to order one. Any suggestions? Maybe just rock the Mp3 cd like Hotdog said?

Sexier does usually come with a price haha but adding a switch is def a must when it stays on all the time

Dakota digital is lookin expensive. How does the 10 dollar one look hooked up?

Not tryin to jack the thread but how much is the auto meter?

good point Big. Maybe like a 1500w rms amp would be good if you were thinking of expanding your system but if nothing else you could run 2 of these amps on 3 L7's or 1 DC XL 15 right?

From what Kicker amps I have heard I'll have to say they got some constant power. On the birth sheet of the Kicker ZX1000.1 its rated near like 1100w right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Edit: 1100w is under perfect circumstances (excellent constant voltage, no clipping, gains set to the right place)

Ijust went out and listened to the system with the ipod and aux cable and with the ipod wide open I could hear a liitle distortion so I did the "one click" with the ipod vol control and the distortion seemed to fade in the subs so I cut the sub lvl and bass lvl back so I could hear mainly mids/highs and a little distortion came when the ipod was one click back so looks like 2 clicks back solves a little distortion problem. If the pay check is good and I get the ipod adpater for my HU ill def say how it is. My HU vol never went above 20 out of 50. Its good to have a small project to learn about and to take up a small bit of my free time haha

I sure will have to give them a call. I think Chris is right but hey why not before droppin cash right?

@chris: O that ain't a problem at all. When I get a pay check in this week I'm considering getting one of those shipped right to me. Looks like the adapter has a good design and looks quality though.

*edit* Srry double post from mobile...

@chris: thanks dude that looks like it will work. Only concern is under the "note" on the product specs of the adapter it says not compatable with ipod touch, iphone, iphone 3g. You know it works with ipod touch? Just curious before I consider droppin the money on it. @hotdog: the cd's have done me well and earned a good reputation. I got so many of decafs songs left to go through I just needed an easier way than cd's. If its all ne

I don't think the adapter fits my ipod touch :/ and didn't see the KD-A315 in the compatibility list. Great find though. I sure wish that adapter woud work. If it did I would have it ordered this week.

@chris: lol you good bro. I bet the system helps out in that department we need knowledgable members in all seriousness. @blown: mine doesn't have the USB port so I guess mp3 cds would be my best bet. What you think? What y'all think "Mp3 CD" or "Ipod"?

Thank y'all for all the quick responses. I do have an aux cable and so badly would like to get rid of it. How can I do so? Like how can I let my JVC KD-A315 access the hard drive on my ipod? @klown: I would like to be able to control the volume with one unit to make volume adjusting easier in places I don't know or places with a lot of cops. I do have a remote for the HU but its still 2 units controlling volume since I have the dreaded aux cable. @blown: is it trough bluetooth or what? How does the alpine access the ipod I'm wondering? @chris: thanks for the detailed description on that. Can my JVC KD-A315 access the ipod hard drive like steve and others? I'm looking through the manual now.

Hey what's up y'all I know this is a kinda of the wall but I was just wondering what everyone thought of the next two questions (listed below). I usually burn mp3 cd's and play cd's through my HU but I can only fit about 140 on a cd and I have quite a few songs on my ipod but the ipod has a volume adjust and a EQ. Only played my ipod on the system just a couple of times to play around with it. I found that if I have the ipod volume about 3/4 the way up and my HU volume about 1/3 way up played the best. I also turned the bass boost off and put the EQ on "flat". Just want a few opinions from the ones who love to run their system off their ipod. I know Steve plays his 30K system off an ipad so they can't be that bad. Do y'all turn the ipod volume up and HU volume down or just the opposite? What is your EQ set to? Flat sounds like the least distortion. I'm also wondering if the ipod volume can create distortion in the signals? Thank y'all for any help or opinions on this. Its much appreciated. -James All Decaf (thanks for all the hard work man):

Glad you got it fixed bro. I know you will be glad to have it back. Also its a good thing ur buddy paid for it tho

That is correct bro

Just a thought but maybe you could clear coat those lights or seal them somehow to keep moisture out and like @RooTxBeeR said maybe some weather stripping or some sort of foam to help isolate the vibrations? I'm not a 100% sure on this as this is the first I have heard of this problem. Hope you can get it fixed though. Also maybe the local auto parts store might be able to offer a solution? Sounds like you got a killer system though. Congrats on that part
