  1. next it was time to fab up some tweeter pods, and since at the time i wasnt too swift with fiberglass, i took the opportunity to try a new method and loved it, still use it to this day on new installs because its so cheap, easy and fast. ill step by step this part just in case anyone wants to know how this was done...

    take your tweeter trim ring, go to the hardware store and get some PVC end caps that are slightly larger than the diameter of the ring

    next, determine what angle you want your pod at and drill a hole at appx that angle into the pvc cap

    you will also need some steel nipples, usually sold in the lighting area where lamp cords, plugs etc are sold. they are threaded on the outside and hollow in the middle to allow a lamp cord to pass through. thread it into the hole you drilled into the pvc cap and secure the inside with the nuts provided with the steel nipple lkg

    find the spot on your a pillar you want to mount it to and drill a hole for the steel nipple to pass through. push it through the hole and secure it on the backside of the a-pillar with one of the nuts provided in the kit,

    now that its in and you have it where you want it, take it back off LOL and find some paint to match your a-pillar and give them a few coats

    after drying, place the tweeter into the cap, re-isntall onto the pillar with the tweeter wires passing through the steel nipple and re-install into the vehicle. if your tweeter is slightly too small for your cap wrap a layer or two of electical tape around its sides, just enough to make it a snug fit when you push it into the pod

  2. so I know most of you are familiar with my 69 chevelle build, but i figured i should show my daily driver some love and make a thread for the build i did for it a while back. its a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. so without rambling on too much, lets just get to the pictures.

    first, the equipment

  3. I also just bought a used TL. Make sure you deauthorize the install on your computer/s before you sell it. If you do not it WILL cost the buyer at least $69 to have a new key code. Also if the buyer does ever need assistance from TL like trouble shooting it will also cost $69. You may want to take that into consideration on your price. Please do not take this as a post dump I just wish I had know this when I bought mine..

    Good luck with the sale and it is a great product! :drink40:

    i have already done so on my laptop that it was installed on, so its good to go, and as with any products bought used on forums, very rarely if ever does the warranty or tech support carry over for the new buyer, and this is no different. i cant forsee anyone with any common sense needing assistance though, its pretty straight forward to plug up and press go

  4. recently my brother bought a termlab, so i have no use to have one of my own anymore when i can just use his. i got this back in september so its only about 4 months old, and has been used no more than 15 times. everything is still like it was the day i got it, even the cables still have the ties on them lol. not looking for trades for car audio right now, i need to uprade my clay shooting gun so this sell will be going towards that. 600 shipped for a basically brand new termlab(685 after shipping new, which this basically is).

  5. MICROSOFT may announce the plans for the 720, but it definitely wont be shown. and for the ps4, no chance. sony has said many,many times that they are using the current ps3 for a 10 year life-span with add-ons and software changes to keep it evolving during the time. with the marginal profits they make on the consoles and the HUGE up front r&d and building costs involved, they have to run them that long to get into a good profit margin for the amount of money invested

  6. Just wanted to say thanks to Meade, Chode, Snafu and each and every person who voted for me in the September 2011 SOTM vote, it truly is a great feeling to have other people appreciate the time and work you put into your build. I opted to use my prize money towards a tool i could put in my toolbox and use for years to come, and i am SO GLAD that i did! it greatly improved my overall clarity and loudness, and i will be doing some TL tests this weekend to confirm. once again, thanks Meade!
