  1. Not enjoying the tax raise on our paychecks. Already got hit with the changes apparently and they arent to be in effect until the 20th.

      and it's not because I smoke it

    3. sayhuh?

      sayhuh?

      Well it would still have to be regulated to some extent..like not allowing people to grow, or sell. You'd still have to fight that, but legalize it and control the sale of it via govt controlled stores, etc.

  2. Pioneer you piss me off.

      Jonathan Price has already gone through 3 or 4 of the new 80PRS, great units software wise, doesn't seem durable at all though.

  3. Just saw a Dodge Magnum catch on fire and burn to the ground outside the local "install" chop shops. Looks like they're finally fucked.

      They throw a lot of taxes in the fines down here.. I'm sure its like an extra $100 just taxes alone or something.

      Same lol. But with Florida, because no state tax. So they gotta make money somehow. With CO? Taxes on EVERYTHING. And high as hell taxes too. Best part of CO is the gas. Cheaper than usually rest of the country. Gas was $3.30 or so in DE, under $3 in CO. Now it's more even but still. ONLY good part of CO

      I guess the only good thing about it, is I can keep making different plans and designs for what I'm trying to do in my 12ft^3 trunk lol.. and lots of measurements.

  5. Got offered a job paying 4x the paychecks I am now and actual hours... Prides holding me back being an original employee where I'm at though :/ Not sure what to do.

      My manager is my ex's current boyfriend. It's not that bad man.

      I have a friend that recently quit his job at the grocery store I work at to earn twice the amount of money, get the same hours but consistent, and he likes it more--at the local hospital. Money isn't happiness, but it sure enough aids in creating happiness.

      i'd do it without a doubt. I just started working away in the oil field, I told my self I would never do it.. but after my first pay check. I think I'm hooked, money talks. lol

      Rmichael91

      Well with my hours not being as expected I guess I could look more into the other job for my off days, potentially dropping the bar entirely. Just over the favortism that occurs with scheduling and getting called in on my days off for a month straight. Wound up working 5 weeks straight without a day to myself whether being on for a shift or called in to cover.

  6. My airbag lights been on for 2 months now. It's really getting annoying. Reconnecting all my sensors didnt do jackshit

      That's why I'm getting a degree. Full time school and work. I was thinking about applying at a local chain for car audio as like an installer (as they make more, but not much more. But anything more is helpful) but with 0 experience? Doubt they'd even consider hiring me. so just get muh degree then boom. Hopefully start my way up. Too bad 4 years til my degree eh? Lol.

      Just dealing with the arms of my trunk. Not 100% on if my new 6.5s will cut into my height clearance either. Atleast right now this is with the cardboard mockup and not MDF

  9. Just priced my build out and the hefty $1700 minus box, batteries, and a new hu just made me cringe. But fuck it, it's time to get everyone coming my way and hacking the car apart.

      That is true Nate, didn't consider it on the spot.

      Yeah Mario, nothing that hasn't been seen before. Just dedicated to one audio company, wiring company, etc. Then when it comes time for a new ride, its a simple move and some fresh wire.

      Rmichael91

      Cars a compact. But 3 runs front to back, plus jumpers, big 3, and to the amps off the rear bat bank. Thats why I asked.. Figured roughly 100ft. Plus 250ft of speaker wire. All amps/crossovers being in the trunk. 8 runs to the front, 6 in the back

      Think so. Was a '96 Bonneville. They looked at the struts, some ties, ball joints, so on and so forth. Everything was worn a little but, it all looked good and they couldn't see why. So now? New. Hence an '08, '10 and now '13 lol. All brand new off the dealer lot with no more than 8 miles.

      radiator hose blow sux when you are out, I had my intake gasket blow recently. Now that's no fun at all!

      Yeah I've seen the feedback about all that. Anythings better than the stock alt though, 85amps of fail. Lol Might go with Tenney unless the Mechman'll match up with minimal machining

      I've never had any issues with DC not responding. I always get a response within a couple days and my alt shipped out 2 days after I ordered it

    4. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Its all in timing. DC is No.1 in my  book, and worth the wait.

      ddm I heard nothing but good from them besides the customer service an when you order 55w they take about a month or so or go with xenon supply that's where mine came from haven't had one problem going on a year

  14. Just rearended a silverado with a Reese hitch, front ends fucked. I'm tired of this shitty rain in Florida

      Coming to a light, I was 4-5 cars behind. A trailblazer stopped short infront of a Silverado, I was already on the brakes stopping for the light. Saw he stopped short and laid into them more and wound up losing grip, hydroplaned, and into the rearend of it. All infront of a cop, who witnessed the whole thing, reported as a no fault. Full coverage on the Veo. Puts the build back a while after the deductible and I'm getting new tires if I get the car back and its salvagable. If not, well it...

    3. Rmichael91

      Rmichael91

      then its getting gutting and I'm getting a new vehicle. Aside from a tense shoulder from the seatbelt locking up, not a scratch on me. I did prevent sideswiping another car in the other lane while I was hydroplaning. Guess thats a plus.

      Sucks man hopefully it all works out I totaled my mustang back in November so I kinda know the feeling

      Guess what... I pulled into a gas station and turned it down. Could you believe that no one there was annoyed? Amazing isn't it! Just a simple turn of a knob eliminates all those angry glares. You should really try it sometime ;)

  21. Got some AudioTechnix wire in the mail.. 100ft 16ga. Ran the front tweeters and doors to the trunk to the crossovers. Finishing up tomorrow night. Should have the Skar mids and highs going with a DD1 + CC1 tune. Excited

      At this point I'm just hoping its this drivers door.. but I'm gonna double check the back 2, which are currently speaker less. Debating on throwing a set of Skar Vxi 6.5s in each and another set in each front kick or a pro 6.5 off another Skar 85.4

  24. Got an order in to Skar to rep em during SBN and BHE for decals in memory of David
