      When I was looking I ended up coming across these guys.

      http://www.americantonneaucompany.com/content/contact

      They make a hard tri-fold that's $600 new,

      Cheapest I could find for new and it's made in usa.

      I was looking at their products and at Tonno Pro's stuff. Tonno Pro has one for my truck that's right at $500 but it doesn't have a keyed lock, just two folding jams that keep it held down from inside the bed. Going to get a electric lock for my tailgate when I pick a cover up, wire it in with the secondary lock on my truck... drivers door unlocks first then a second press unlocks the rest of the doors, thats what I'm wiring it to.

      I might look into building one, I have a friend that owns a metal shop that can get me aluminum diamond plate pretty cheap, I'll just have to figure the whole folding and keeping it sealed part out. Oh and he powdercoats, so that's covered too.

  4. whats the current price/performance king of graphics cards that runs really cool?

      AMD and cool?

      my HD5750 never got above 48C... my GTCX570 used to not ever get above 50C... cleaned the fins out and reseated the heatsink with AS5, didn't help at all

    4. RainStryke

      RainStryke

      AS5 is a bit dated, i'd suggest Scythe Thermal Elixer 2 or if you really want to see a huge difference, the liquid metal stuff from Coollabratory Liquid Ultra... Put some of that stuff on my CPU and my temps were crazy low... Like 40C under load with a 4.9GHz overclock on my i7 4790K.

      Also, AMD is known for hot GPU's only when you purchase a reference card with the blower style fan... I'd stay far away from those... You can adjust the fan speed to keep it cool, but at t...

  5. guess I'll try some Rockford gear out... damn DD out of stock on a4's :(

      hmm. thanks brian. Entry level or not, pretty satisfied with this little amp. will hold me over until I start making good money again and can finish this shitbox.

    3. audiofanaticz

      audiofanaticz

      Wasnt trying to diss it or you. Its just what it was for according to JL. It was for those customers that didnt want to spend $500 plus on an amp, this way JL was in the lower tier market.

    4. boom50cal

      boom50cal

      no i understood what you meant lol. was a good market move for them. got about 4 hours of play time on it so far and it's pretty nice. on 12v for probably 3 hours, didnt get too warm

      yes sir! Learn from it, make adjustments and kill it.....reality is when you get out there on your own you'll do it your own way that works best for you. A lot of it comes with time and experience. A little tip you may know....use your sense of smell, it'll help you catch issues that you may not see like a leaking hub seal lol

      I had to do a full format of the USB twice, for each part of the update. What would have taken 10 minutes on a Clarion took over an hour and a half on the Pioneer.

      all the guys are cool though, at SCT and the other meets in OKC. The producers ruin it all.

      I really thought i was going to hate the show from the very first episode, but it turned out to be a pretty good show for what it is, and the show has to run on a closed road for safety and legal reasons, so i can understand peoples points of view on it but overall i think it is worth a watch every week.

    4. boom50cal

      the racing and is REAL. the victories aren't staged. It's just the environment. The guys are cool as shit. Shawn has a nasty little white RCSB 4.8 based turbo pickup that puts down 700ish at the wheels. It's made several appearances when I've been up there.
