go look at hotwheels toy vans and see if anything catches your eye , always thought it would be fun to make a full size van look like a hotwheels or matchbox toy

get something like these to get some speakers in your doors , you could also make something like these with fiberglass . door speakers much better than rear speakers .

I'm going to be needing some more RCA cables soon, as I'm about to install a 4 channel amp. I was wondering if someone could steer me in the right direction. I'm not looking to spend a fortune, maybe $50 or so maximum for a short set to go from my EQ to the headunit, and then 3 sets of about 20 ft. each. I found this link: http://www.monoprice...d=premium%20rca in another post, and I was considering those, but I'm unsure about their quality, as I haven't really heard of anyone running them. I was also thinking about some RCA's from Knuconceptz, either the Karma, or Krystal series most likely, because they both seem affordable, and come in the sizes that I need. If anyone has any other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated as well!
i would try this

the tens sound like a good deal to me , but i wouldn't bother with the pioneer amp unless you would use it to run mids and highs . i think for a small budget hifonics amp might be the way to go for powering subs .
if you pass on the tens , a single 15 is not a bad way to go , i think i would buy the tens just to play with and re-sell to make a buck if they aren't trashed .
ebay might be tempting , but i will tell you the last 4-5 things i have bought car audio related off ebay have turned out to be duds in some way or a nother , used gear that is . might be a different story buying from a big seller who sells new stuff .

that would be the shit to get paid for that .

bout ready to say forget it with ebay after getting my most recent purchase . i bought a jl audio 13w1 sub cause i had 2 already wanted a 3rd paid $80 total . got it today and although it reads good for dc resistance and plays fine free air , no rub ,and doesn't smell , the voice coil is black .
the purchase before this one was for 3 8ohm 10" p2 subs , when they showed up they actually turned out to be 2 4 ohm subs one with broken terminal and the 3rd was a dual 4 ohm with a broken tinsel lead and the cones had cracks and surrounds were rotten , none of this mentioned in the auction . i got refunded on those no problem , i told the seller he could have them back if we wanted to pay shipping and he said trash em .
another recent purchase i bought a tma 360.2 amp , it works but has a high pitch distortion at low volumes .
i bought a couple things that the sellers never followed thru with too .
lets hope the couple amps i am waiting for make up for all this non-sense .

i guess no one yet wirh a full electric than with a big system. between 3-5k I was looking at.
i think for full electric with a system that big , you need more batteries than you can fit in the average vehicle , so you would need to produce a charge somehow , could go hydrogen fuel cell IF you had the money and could find one to buy .
-
i guess if you can afford to buy a slash at retail price you can probably afford to replace it when it fries
that is still a pretty incredible amp if you look at the voltage range where its rated i think down to 11 volts , and the fact that you can run 1.5 ohms to 4 ohms and get rated power , there's a reason why people pay so damn much to have one of these . but knowing my luck i would spend $200 on ebay or at a pawn shop and have my slash amp fry out a month or 2 later .
-
i have been tempted to get a slash amp but i see too many of them dead on ebay , to me for what that amp would cost to replace or buy it should be more reliable than it is .

thanx ,
now im cooking with fire ! i tried renaming it exe a few times and evidently i just wasn't trying in the right place .

i can download it , but i don't know what exactly to do with it after it downloads . i try to open it and windows wants me to pick a program to open with and i can't get anywhere with it . i have windows 7

the all electric car is a nice dream but the range of it is a deal breaker for me as well as wanting audio gear . i would like to build a car or suv that runs a healthy sized generator off a small diesel engine to produce the current to power electric motor(s) to propel the vehicle . i think this would be efficient . the railroad industry has been using diesel over electric for many years on a massive scale , i think scaled down this could be the ticket for economical transportation .
i don't believe the auto industry is going to produce anything too fuel efficient any time soon , i think the oil industry may have something to do with it

i don't dread my computer but i expected way more , i have a toshiba laptop 4 gig ram and 320 gig hard drive running a 64 bit version of windows 7 , amd vision 1.33 ghz , it was $260 at best buy 8 months ago .
i only bought this because my old dell inspiron 8600 got a worm and it wasn't cost effective for me to refurb it get a new hard drive and find a copy of windows xp and upgrade the ram , and it was running a 32 bit version of xp so i couldn't have gotten the most recent updates due to that . surprisingly my new toshiba runs about the same as my old dell ran when it was running good .

pretty hot , if it weren't for the humidity it would be a little more tolerable up here .
the mosquitos would then eat me
. it feels like the same air flow comes out of all 3 vents above the radio the one on the far right is just really cold while the middle and far left vent are not really cold at all they just feel more like the air temp

i have a 98 chevy venture and got the ac working after 2 cans of refrigerant , here is what has me puzzled . there are a total of five vents in the front dash that can be pointed , 3 in the middle above the radio and then 1 by each door , NO DUAL CLIMATE CONTROL , the 1 vent above the radio is colder than all the rest , way colder than all the others . i don't see how this is possible but somehow it is happening
-
not sure how much wire you need , but given the wire you are looking at costs $70 for 50 ft if you only need enough to do one run this kit from rf should be cost effective . i have the big dual amp 0 gauge kit from rf and i think their wire is good

when i seen this i thought it looked alot like an alpine pdx amp , i doubt it performs like 1 .
sposed to be a 2500 watt monoblock with only 80 amp worth of fusing
-
alot of amps are capable of mixed mono , every precision power amp i have had was , but i did try it on my art series amp and it liked to pop the amp fuse running 3 channels of subs
-
got a kenwood pre-amp with rca's , i knew when i seen the back of the cv 900 i would need to buy or make some cords to connect it
i went back to look at it again and it says xlr or trs connector and looking at the back of the amp it looks like i could run balanced or unbalanced input , correct me if i am wrong but i think with the right adapters or connectors maybe the cv900 could be a go
the cxa-8 runs on 220 volt which would be a big pain to get that going in my house
