Yelawolf - Trunk Muuuzik would do it. Those rapid fire kicks really work on the kidneys. lol One that reminds me of Trunk Muuuzik for the intense kicks is Slayer - Raining Blood. It nearly made me tapout on my own ride. lol It took me some time to get used to it. In the ISF it would be amazingly intense! Another good pound yourself to death song is Nine Inch Nails - Closer. Not rapid fire just canon shot after canon shot. Enjoy.

I have a line driver in my system that can output a 9Volt "line level" signal. If I blindly set my line driven output as maximum undistorted signal, I'd have the same problem this man had. My amps cannot handle that high of a line input signal. So to set my preamp output levels I have to turn the amp gains down and measure for distortion through the amp. With the head unit at max clean output and min on the preamp I adjust it's output until I get clipping and back it off until clean. Now that I have the maximum clean input to the amps I can do the normal amp gain procedure. The line driver adds an extra step.

I thought we were about to see a finger go through it for a second there at 1:57. Almost saw an IKEA Futon get some revenge on dude's head. Sure not idiot proof!

nahhh just being picky. I knew what i wanted. I got it. No big deal, lets not turn something fun into any sort of bickering. Agreed. People are far too quick to read only negative intent into comments sometimes. The only reason I responded to the criticism was because It wasn't meant that way at all and I didn't want people thinking I was being an ass.

If you are talking to me, I don't understand why people are taking what I like this. I would not have won. It doesn't matter to me. I'm not a sore loser. It was meant more in the tone of "I don't know if it matters to you but...".

Really ?????.......... really????........ Yes, but it is Steve's call. The word "its" was missing from all the posts prior to the one I mentioned. It doesn't matter to me, I wouldn't have won either way. Only Steve could know how specific he wanted the answer. It's over and done. No big deal. It was cool he did this.

Steve, just pointing this out in case you hadn't noticed. Coolwasabi was actually the first with the "specific" wording from the manual.

If an earbud or earbud tip becomes lodged in the ear canal, seek professional medical assistance for its removal.

Turn the volume up. lol

Keep your eyes out for a White Astro Van doing 97mph! lol

Damn, I thought a Cinch Wire was just an RCA to RCA cable. But that wouldn't be a Wire Cinch. I was so close.

It's cool that you can haul all the build materials in the build vehicle and still have a lot of room leftover. lol

A lexan wall would be badass!!!

Reminds me of stair entrance scene in the movie Rock Star. Props for getting right back up and playing dude!

Once a month I run mine through the dishwasher and store them in the refrigerator so they are nice and clean when I need em. ...what?

You can count on me demoing! One of my first major tap outs was PM Turn It Up! Proud moment for me. Didn't think to video it and upload.

Looks better than factory Steve! Amazing work. You have me scratching my head how you held the plexi in place. I ended up using Zinc plated, Phillips head, Modified Truss, Lath Screws. Gives an interesting look. But no screws looks sick as hell! Are you using Acrylic or Polycarbonate? I haven't been to Sacramento yet to go supply/parts shopping. Where do you get such great plexi? None worth buying in Yuba City area. Too thin. Thanks Steve.

Careful Steve, we saw what happened to the last box fan that got near the port of the Tahoe. @¿@

Steve, which tires did you have on it when you did the doughnuts visible from space? Is this your 2nd or 3rd set of tires? Proper suspension geometry FTW! I know quite a bit about racing suspension geometry. My suspension designs set a few track records. Including South & North West Tour. Even set the track record at Daytona. Bobby Allison was having serious chassis problems early in the season 1987. His chassis guy purchased my software to setup the chassis. They were desperate and had heard of the amazing results people were getting in South West Tour. They set the car up as instructed and took the car to the next race, never touched the suspension. It was like a some kind of brand new super car. Several races later he went to Daytona and set the track record. He won the Firecracker 400 BTW. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a wind tunnel or he would have gone a whole lot faster. Aero at that point became the weakest link by far. The car was going so much faster that it was pushed into unknown territory with regard to aero stability and dynamic chassis loading. The increased speed lead to unfamiliar tire loading which caused a tire failure and his infamous crash a few races later at Talladega. Watch Car 22.

"Candy Stripe" the wires, I love it! Makes me wanna lick it and that's just wrong. lol I did recently see the most bad ass wiring trick I'd ever seen. Say you have 4 different wires. Twist them first clockwise 2 at a time and then the 2 pairs counter clockwise the same amount of turns. The wires untwist but are magically all braided together! Looks like it took forever to do. If anyone hasn't seen this done or the result, do yourself a favor and try it. Friggin awesome trick!

Damn dude! What'd that come out of The Bat Mobile?

For a second I thought the same thing, then I realized it was a FOJ type Fuse. If used in the right way they can enhance car audio builds. lol

Damn Steve, now I'm hungry. Thank you for not posting pix of the sandwich build. If you had I'd have been on my way to Sub Way and not finished typing this. lol Yes lets see some smoke in a rainbow of colors.

Hey Steve, you sure are an inspiration. Love all the build pix and vids. I gotta make me some of those corner templates! Inners & outers on the same peice. I have some clear drafting templates but they are too light duty for shop work. Looks like I'll be picking up some 1/8 or 1/4 inch plexi. Also, I had a small problem soldering on one of my eyelets on my 1/0 power cable. The local supplier only had crimp on eyelets but I soldered them anyway. I used 1/0 welding cable. I picked up a little hand torch like I'd seen you use on your ends. Worked great btw! Anyway, The crimp on ends were the closed end type. So I had to solder them upside down, cable in from the top. I was putting an end on an 8 inch cable between the bat and the fuse. So I'm heating the end and the solder wouldn't melt. Seemed to take forever to heat up. Then when it started to melt the eyelet wouldn't fill up. Finally it did. When I was finished I was checking all the ends and only that one was solid several inches up the cable. It was wicking up the cable without filling the eyelet. The copper wire was getting hot without the eyelet heating properly. Is that why you use the open end eyelets and clamp the cable instead? That was my first time soldering 1/0. Any advice would be much appreciated.
