The only long runs I had to worry about were the doors, and I ran the left down the left side and right on the right. That's what I was talking about. My power wire used to be run down the left side with the speaker wire, and I never heard any noise on the left side that was any different from the right.

I have mine run next to the power wire. I haven't heard any hum like you will with the power and rcas crossing. Might want more than my word though. I haven't been in the game too long.

I know what you mean. But hey Ocarina of TIme was beast of a game when it came out...and still is lol. I whip out the n64 when I'm feeling bored sometimes lol... Dude, I'm on my second full run through, and I had to use a walk through on the first. Honestly, if you want something that will fuck shit up, get Ephixas remix of Dragon Roost Island. It's a little calm at the beginning, but when the bass hits it's ridiculous.

I like some Ephixa. Oddly enough, though geeky, the Zelda remixes are ridiculous and have some awesome bass. Other than that, Skrillex.

It could be a whole family! 18- Papa 15- Mama 12- Junior 10- Baby Not sure what an 8 would be, though.

Looks like 1003 people need to quit creepin' and join already. This is gonna be sick. I was wondering when you were gonna stop stock stereo jammin' in that thing. I guess you just had to work your way around to it?

Pfft. I wouldn't even want to imagine that. Forget hair tricks, you could do people tricks.

What would you do if had the funds? What car? Subs? Amps? Etc? I just want to see what other people can come up with off the top of their head. I was looking through a car sales mag earlier and had some massive ideas. One of the best: Buy a limo, and build a b-pillar bass cube tuned as a 6th order band pass. Not sure how many subs would fit, or whether I'd use 12s, 15s, or 18s. That shit would get down. It cool to dream, right?

Enlisting would be my absolute total last resort for anything man. The military really doesn't do anything for me. I mean, it's not even in my personality, dude. I'm sure everything will work out in some way or another. I made one good first step. Rededicated my life to God on Easter Sunday. Damn sure know I'm not alone that way. I'm not shoving religious beliefs or anything, just sayin'. I hope no mods get onto for it or anything... I might take Fall off. I already put money into school, so I know that I'm definitely going back. That'd be like putting the speakers and everything in my car just for looks.

I heard that. I had so much money put back man... My dad borrowed all of it... I didn't even spend half of it, and my dad borrowed the rest. I hate when that happens. It's hard for me to put money back. If I have a little bit, I'm always looking for something to spend it on. But if I have a bunch if money put back I hardly ever spend any of it at all. It's like it hurts me to spend it and see it go away.

I appreciate it man. My dad gave me some money to get my wiring kit so my amp will run smoothly. I'ts a little rigged right now. Two runs of 8awg just so it would stop going into protect. Needless to say I really needed to get the 4awg kit. That'll be going in tomorrow, and then I'm done except for little things here and there when i get some extra pocket change. Still gonna bust ass over summer. Even if my dad gets to keep this place I really wanna move out and get my own life started, ya know?

Well guys, I can't get a mortgage. Atleast not right now. My banks qualifications are being employed part-time for 2 years or being employed full-time. They;d have to have 30 days worth of full-time pay checks and because I work in fast food my employer would have to verify that I'll be full-time for an extended period of time. So I might be able to get a place by the end of summer. My dad's trying everything he can to keep this place. He just sold his truck to get everything out of pawn and have money. He's trying to buy a small pickup or a car for 3k or less from an individual. He also loses his state unemployment benefits this week. This is the last check he'll get because the state unemployment rate fell below the national minimum for state benefits to be in place. What I'm wondering is where everyone's getting all these damn jobs. On the bright side, the landscaping company he worked for back in December will take him back, but they already hired a new guy. He said he's not sure how this new guy will work out, but if he doesn't my dad is the first person he'll call. So there's a bit of good news.

Figured I'd finish the little bit I started on my car today before I had to take a shower and get all dressed up, too. My girlfriend is still In high school, and it's prom night. It sounds kinda awkward being in college and dating a junior in high school, but we've been together since I was a junior and she was a freshman. Got everything hooked back up. It sounds SOOO much better being sealed off. Like I said and ya'll reinforced, car audio isn't my biggest priority right now. I just do little things here and there when I get some extra pocket change. The only other thing I'm gonna do soon is upgrade my wiring kit to a RF 4awg because I foolishly bought an 8awg and tried to run almost 700w off of it. My amp goes into protect sometimes, and I don't wanna burn it up so... That'll be after my dad gets his taxes back. And he's supposed to help me with a down payment for a house because he borrowed a lot of money from me. Trying to keep all my bases covered. I'll have a down payment, the payments will be less than 28% of my income since I'm working full time during summer, and I have great credit. Main problem is that I haven't been employed for two years, but hopefully I can get a first time buyer loan like the lady at the bank said. I'll be talking to one of their mortgage experts Monday to go through my options. I'll keep you guys updated as everything goes down. It's a long ass story as to how things have gotten like this and how life has been punching me in the dick. But needless to say, I've grown quite tired of it, and I don't really think it's so wrong to want a better life.

Did the math myself and looked into what the payments would be on some lender sites. $20,000/(12x30) = $20,000/360 = $55.55 Then take into account things like insurance and it comes out to around $100 or so.

There are some cheap houses in Georgia. Really cheap. I found one that was perfect. One story, 1120sqft, 2.75 acres, and a huge workshop for 19k. But by the time I was going to contact the realitor it was under contract. The realitor that showed us the tri-stroy that the previous owners looted said they've been buying some foreclosures for $25. However, most of the houses I've been looking at are worth $100,000. They just can't get them sold for that much. I'm trying to stay under 20k, but if I can get a good deal on a mortgage and find one for a little more it's no biggie. The payments on a 20k house are about $80-100 a month. any of you who were wondering why I didn't just rent a home or apartment, I think you could see why not now. Much cheaper every month this way. And once I graduate and get my career going I could move into something nicer and rent it out. I'm planning ahead, so that I don't end up with my back against the wall.

I thought about putting some cardboard or small scraps of mdf in when I started. I got all but one little section foamed up. It's like, 6x8". I'm just leaving the masking tape there. No one else ever rides with me, and if it works, it works. Like I said, loud ain't always pretty. They seemed louder pointed forward, but it also kinda seemed like all the sound was disappearing in my trunk, and I had alot less flex which started making me wonder about sealing them in, even if it was a temporary fix.

I'm gonna have a huge ass build one day. Just gotta get money. It's kinda my last priority right now though. We're losing our house and I'm going Monday to see if I can get a first time buyer loan from my bank. The requirements aren't as high as normal. Main problem being that I haven't been employed for 2 years yet. If I can get it, I'll officially be a home owner, and it'll be backwards because my dad will be living with me. Just gotta find one for under 20k. Not hard in this area, there's plenty for under that. What's hard is finding one that wasn't trashed by the previous owners. Last one we went to was missing the furnace, the ac unit, alot of wiring, and all the brass plumbing you can get to, including the brass faucets. Previous owners stole it. I've been doing little things here and there on my 'Bu, but I keep forgetting to take pictures. Latest being sealing my subs into my cab. I just masked off the opening of my trunk, put tape from the box to the edge of the opening, and starting foaming it up. Too broke for fiberglass, almost too broke for great stuff. It ain't gonna look so great, but you know what they say. Loud ain't always pretty. I'd appreciate any advice guys. Hell, I'm only 19 and life's really punched me in the dick lately, so I could use a bit of it.

I haven't been to a concert since October of 2010. My dad won tickets to go see Black Label Society at the Masquerade.

Needless to say, he wasn't expecting that at all.

I've seen a couple of live vids from the past couple of tours. They were a little rusty a couple of years ago, atleast Roth was. But it's looking like they're right back on top now. Not so stoked for the opening act... Kool and the Gang just ain't my thing guys... My dad had manly tears when I gave him the tickets.

Taking my dad to a concert tomorrow. I know I say a lot about money problems, which we do have, but I had the money awhile back. I had quite a good chunk put back after I got the money for my totalled Camry and what was left over from my student loan. I knew my dad would love to go to it, so I got floor seats off of some ticket site because Ticketmaster was already up to the back rows. Wish I could've caught the presale and saved some money, but whatever. This'll be my birthday present to myself for this year and his fathers day present. Hell, he's wanted to see this band since the first record came out in '78. Who are we going to see? MUTHAFUKIN VAN HALEN BIATCH!

Old ass thread, but I wish I had joined this forum a long ass time ago now. Dude, work the shit out of it now, and you'd be the coolest grandpa ever when we're all old as dirt. Bag it and all that and ride through walmart. Gotta get something down on a bottom shelf? Flip a switch and drop it. Something a little too high? Lift it up. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!

I'd appreciate any help you guys could give us.

My dad has been out of work for almost 2 years now. He didn't go to college or anything, but he does skilled labor. He has alot of experience in landscaping and line work. He worked for AT&T as a lineman, so it's not like he doesn't know what he's doing in that respect. He knows all about buried utility wires and whatnot. He also does some of the best lawn work I've seen. Hell, if anyone needs any lawn work, he'd probably be able to help you out. You could hit me up with what you want done and I could talk to him about a price.

I would personally stay away from the Picasso series if you can, not the best of the Soundstream and it lacks quality. The few I have installed and seen used heat up too hot to touch. Never go into protect but shouldn't get that hot anyway, I also noticed it distorted quickly on the DD-1 (using the SQ track). Aw man. One of my friends has already ordered two of the old Picasso 2000w monoblocks for his build. That's one of my favorite things about being in a forum like this one, you learn a little bit before it's too late. I was gonna go with that one and the same monoblock that my friend got.
