the ones for 90 a pair are to change the lug pattern not a spacer.
the spacer your talking about would only have a benifit if you are using wheels that are to wide to fit with out the spacer. so if your will is 1" to wide you need a 1" spacer if it is only 20mm to wide then a 20mm spacer will work. if the wheels arent to wide then the spacer is pointless.

so, today i took some time to put some fabric on the box and paint the baffle. i left the speakers in when i painted it and just taped them off. didnt sand anything and maybe spent a while hour at most doing the fabric and paint so i know its not the best job in the world but it is only a temp setup because as everyone knows the build never truely ends. that and im realy wanting to wall the car with 4 12s but i might go with 2 15s instead because i could save a good amount of money going that route which i could put towards some xspower batts or maybe getting the car painted who knows. anyways i will take picks once its back in the car but first i have to find someone to help me carry the beast of a box back down the stairs and into the car.
hmmm. 2 15s walled with the wall being as far back as possible or 4 12s walled with the wall being right behind the back seat??? save money to get better batteries ect ect or 4 12s??? maybe a coin flip??? well i have a good 6 months to figure out where im going with the sub setup because right now im working on my h/u and front sound stage.
-
ok, what they are trying to say is that you need either 1 sub that can handle 500watts rms or 2 subs that can handle 250rms each. if you get 1 dual voice coil 4ohm sub that can handle 500 watts rms and wire it to 2ohms then you will be doing just fine.

liking feel the bass, maybe in a week or 2 i could buy one from you? maybe silver or black? would prefer it to be somewhat small, maybe no more then 2" tall x 8" long i prefer any decals on my car to be on the smaller side.

if you doing a show/comp you might get more replies in the show or comp section of the forum... seeing as to how thats where people look for postings about shows/comps....

didnt see it posted so i figured i would post it up.
Image audio of wasilla will be doing a comp db drag style june 3rd. will be free food and a dunk tank, prizes have been rumored but not much info they are keeping it hush hush.
perfectionist in anchorage will be doing a show june 16th. they always do it big. should be some real nice cars. its a spl king contest no classes just who ever is the loudest wins. kinda stupid to do it that way but what ever to each their own. maybe they will learn this year that there is a certain order and guidlines to hold a true spl contest. untill then what the hell, im going anyways.

-

^ hey that doesnt sound like a bad idea. although you would need so some how make room for a cooler to keep all the other drinks in...
-
^ mine cam with 6 gauge, and if im not mistaken most cars are stock 8-6gauge which isnt realy any better but yeah do the big 3 in 1/0 gauge. the yellow tops might hold up but you might want to consider getting more as they might be needed.

check with mechman dc power and singer alts. one of them should/will have an alt for you.

I just don't know how they would enforce a ban on texting, I mean what if I am just hitting next song on my iPod which is technically not texting and driving although still distractive it's not illegal and there is no way to prove one way or the other if I have my phone in my pocket, it is just my word against what the policeman thinks he saw
That is my only problem with a texting ban
get a h/u with ipod control and a remote. proplem solved. dont have to look at anything to change songs or volume. thats why they make cd players with those functions.
-
there is no point to txt and drive. i was young and dumb and would do it before but after hearing about so many accidents i havent done it since i was about 17-18.
txt while driving should be considered a dui, driving under the influence isnt just drugs what not. the guy was driving under the influence of a electronic device. i wont even look at my cd player while driving. i keep the remote on my lap so that i can easily grab it and change the songs or volume with out ever taking my eyes off the road.
-
well, dykes arent to bad. depending on how they look and as long as the strapon isnt involved lol...
-
well i would do which ever one is cheaper for you. altough the alt with big 3 would make a big difference.
-
hmmm... maybe cut across the bottom of the back as low as you can. reach up in there and place the sound deadener then use some velcro to hold the carpet down agian?
-
the fabric/carpet should be held on at the bottom and should be removable.
-
a removable wall just seems pointless to me
do you have kids and a limited amount of money? makes perfect sense in a budget build where you have to make sure your kids can still ride.
-
Trust me, I want to wall so bad. But It would have to be removable so i can flip the box back into the hatch and put the seats up if i have the kids with me. If anyone can figure out how to do that and still get it to seal i will do it.
all walls are removeable, all you need is a sledgehammer...
seriously though, stupid ass idea. get another vehicle if you have to worry about kids in the back seat.
Yes, removable wall is dumb, until someone makes it work and work well, then all of a sudden its "sick". Seriously though, go read post number #7 in this thread.
post #7 doesnt' change my response to the post i quoted.
kthx, have a nice day.
it actually does change it because he had already said he is working on a second vehicle. the post you quoted was just him saying he would like to but with his current situation he cant...

make a board that fits with less then a 1/4" of room between it and the car then get some door seals and put that on the edge of the board. get it nice and snug then remove it flip box to the back put kids in car.
-
walling is the new back window display. if you dont have a wall you dont have a back window display. simple as that
-
was the show at a shop? maybe there is a website you could check?
-
cant beleive no one mention this... i mean it one of the most important things they could have told you. well i guess i should tell you then...
replace the stock battery under the hood, doing that can make a good difference.if that doesnt work i would buy a ho alt
I think that's what I'm gonna do for sure. My battery is actually under the back seat
but, thanks man!so what your saying is that the stock battery on that car is under the back seat? never would have thought that pontaic would have done something like that.

wheel spacers and extended lug nuts

Well if there are spacers with studs on them that keep the pattern the same that's new to me and I was just giving a general discription of what a wheel spacer is used for.
