  1. a quick google search. darker paint is harder to take care of, shows the emperfections more. second video is more helpfull
  2. with hp he can put out with that engine i dont think weight is much of an issue. besides that, there are ways to build a big system in any car and the car still be able to b put back to stock with no sign of it being altered for a big system. just takes time and hard work
  3. op, you are the biggest failure. good bye
  4. well, if you look at his post/topics he has/had a vs thread might have been locked already.
  5. what?! why would the people that made the subwoofer have the info? thats just crazy, i mean i never would have looked in the manual that came with the subs i have. i just figured companies sold equipment and left it to us to test them and teach others and provide the info on their equipment. you know, i was taught something about this thing called google.com where you can type in stuff and it gives you info about it but i think it works better when you know how to spell.
  6. k, well i will look at the clarion when i get back home. heading to town and hopefully getting the car metered on a termlab today. would like to see what i do comared to the people of smd.
  7. forgot to mention that i will never put a processor in this car. maybe a 3sixty.3 in the wifes car as that will be more of a sq build. so the pioneer hu mentioned above would give me more then enough sq options.
  8. yeah i know what you mean there, we have had some nice days in the calley but not many.
  9. so, my current head unit after 4 years is having issues, i had to glue the volume knop back on and i sometimes have to push foward/next a few times before it goes to the next track. its just a basic pioneer with a 8 band eq with 2volt preouts for front rear and sub, has hpf and sub level. paid around 250 for it. im looking for one that will have good sound quality and decent pre out voltage with front rear and sub preout. want the display to be either blue or changable. wouldnt mind a double din but i doubt i would use the dvd or navi features the double dins come with. this is what i have found so far, http://www.crutchfield.com/p_13080PRS/Pioneer-DEH-80PRS.html?i=13080PRS&tp=5684#overview-tab i love the fact that it has the auto eq and the 16band right and left eq is great. has time adjustment and a whole lot more.
  10. torres, still not 100% on the port tuning from what im heard but its only suppose to be off by a hair.
  11. you guys buy in and come pfd i will be buying 1 maybe 2. sooner if i can sell the capacitor and come up with the rest of the money. ive got voltage drop that needs fixing.
  12. but would that buy in include the cost of shipping or is it 1500 worth of merchandise and then the cost of shipping is seperate from buy in? im assuming cost of merchandise being 1500 and the shipping not be included in the buy in price. it would only make sense to do it that way to me. and im assuming that the bigger amount you buy in at the better the deals right?
  13. what?? real tools. i thought carving the cut with a pocket knife and and using my hand lenght for measuring was the best way to do it. good luck, staight cuts and a steady hand works the best.
  14. oh well since you have better programs i guess you could use those lol. but yeah it is within port range i was just giving my 2 cents. damn no im broke i should have kept thost pennies.
  15. id run xs but shipping is a killer. i could always get some oddesy's from batteries plus or shuriken from image audio but i would much rather have xspower. dsktim - wasnt there 3-4 people out of the what 12-14 people at the last show asking about where you got you xs batteries from? beside me that is cuz i know i told you we need a dealer for them up here
  16. maybe a lil more port and slightly more gross volume if you up the port size, most people do between 14-16sq " of port per foot with being closer to 16sq" being the more common design from what i have seen. but looks good to me, you should get the free version of the google sketchup program and use it to make a 3d image of your box and lay out you cuts on the sheets of wood you gonna use so that you dont waste any wood.
  17. lol, got mine working. i guess i turned on this activex filtering and it was stopping the videos from loading
  18. mine empties on a set schedule. was working fine this morning but wont work now.
  19. i use explorer and ive been having the same issue all day. maybe an issue with the site? or the 3 of us are just having bad luck?
  20. come on guys, alaska needs some xs power supply.
  21. it looks exactly like a prefab i had about 2 years ago. when i say exactly i mean exactly to lol. the carpet on it was coming off like that and the size of it based on the pic looks the same
  22. make the hole small and force the wire through, if you cant get the wire through use the same bit and run it through the whole one more time then try agian. get the hole just big enough to where the wire will barely force through it and then use some caulkin, silicone, or the rubber spray.
  23. sure, im no expert by any means though. ive only been doing this for 3 years and just started to design my own boxes and get into the electrical end of the car audio world this year. i can give pointers and advice but in truth the only car i know anything about when it comes to car audio is my hatchback focus. i can and will give pointers based on what i have seen people on here do with their sedans and what i have read works and what has worked for me. you should search the members build section for sedan builds for ideas and things to consider
