  1. I think you'd be fine. I'm at like 1200 watts I believe, (could be a little high or low), and stock everything except battery and I just have dimming lights when the bass hits and of course the volume up. So the big 3 does help a lot, so I'd think at worst? You'd have some dimming lights. But your alt is better (mine's like 90 amps) so should be fine.
  2. Haha, the reason it seems like they didn't read it is because honestly, this is asked a lot. And they're pretty knowledgeable. For full potential, upgrade your battery, upgrade your wiring, and upgrade the alternator. I'd get a 2nd battery before the alternator but to each their own. As for the battery, most people will recommend what Snafu said. XS batteries. On the right they have a vehicle fit guide, not sure how accurate, but it recommends a D925. I'm not sure (I'd ask others on here, or wait for them to chime in on this specifically) if that'd be enough without a HO alternator. May need a bigger battery or more batteries if you wanna do 1500 rms. I'm new to the audio world myself so that's why not sure. I'm here to learn and give some advice on what I do know.
  3. Seriously. Put on the lights they have on the mirrors, put some lights in your grill? It's like a 100% authentic cop car. Lol. And I probably would pull some girls over if I had that setup.
  4. Sounds like your budget just went through the roof. Damn.
  5. That's what I'm saying. I see you pull up behind me? *Puts on the good driver disguise*. Haha. You put on the bright lights they got? You got the undercover cop car man.
  6. Isn't the Olympics like 16 days? But my favorite is wherever there's some hot girls. Women's soccer, volleyball (indoor and beach), field hockey, swimming, gymnastics, ect. Along with basketball.
  7. Oh if we're naming sites like that, I gotta go with actually a local shop near me. stealthmachines. I found their site a few years ago, did some research and found maybe 1 bad review total about them so I placed an order. As Derrikm said, it's one of those sites that lets you pick what you want. Well, I did that and the actual owner called me and we went over everything on the phone. Have had the computer for over 2 years, maybe 3. Absolutely ZERO problems. But I went pretty high end and spent 2 grand.
  8. i'd upgrade the CPU. That one is solid, yes, but if your going big... go all out. I'm not sayin to spend $1200 on that 690 GPU that recently came out but could do a better CPU without spending all that much more. Otherwise, seems like one hell of a build.
  9. What you implying? That I spent too much? I spent 2 grand on mine. and yes, that's just the tower. If you include the monitor and all, then it's more like $2200-2300.
  10. I could rock that lol. It would really turn some heads at work if I wore it to hold my badge I vote for you to do it. DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! Also take pics of what those faces look like haha.
  11. 67 shelby mustang gt 500. just my guess though.
  12. Noob input here... but could he just not add polyfill? Tricks the sub in thinking the box is bigger. Would that not help with the box? Again, noob input so if I'm completely wrong, don't hate too hard.
  13. Good to know. I was gonna do the Trunk Pack as they call it and work on the rest of the car later. But as you've all said for his question, the Trunk Pack will obviously be enough for more than just that.
  14. I was in the one in the NE last summer. Where I was, wasn't anything major. But I thought I was on some serious drugs or something. Saw our A/C unit move then the wall move. I was talkin to someone and they didn't notice anything. That just was an added effect. Truly think if/when socal gets a big one, it's gonna rip it off and become an island eventually.
  15. Could always go to gaming websites like ign, gamepro, ect... and go to the pc section. They'll have scores up for games. If 2 sites agree, I'd agree too.
  16. If not, get a friend in the states. Pay him/her to order it and to ship it to you. Way more of a hassle but if you want it, do it.
  17. I wasn't talkin spec wise. I just meant the game overall. People say the first one is just better to play. Better story, gameplay, ect.
  18. i've heard crysis is better than crysis 2. Never played either but just what the folks are sayin. As far as games, I personally think you have it. sc2, d3, mw3. If you wanna build it up, I'd go crysis and crysis 2.
  19. Question. Maybe I shouldn't ask but this forum is about learning so I will. What are you planning on doing power wise? I'm curious cause you say the power will be around 500-900 watts. The RMS of the sub is only 500. If you went with the 10, it'd be 600. So why would you put up to 900?
  20. http://www.ebay.com/...=item3378a84ef9 I have basically the same equipment, except used. It was my first build, or well.... setup. I'm trying to sell it to a friend and since it is used, I'm just curious what you guys would offer it for to your friends. I was thinking $130. I mean discontinued model, used, ect. It's definitely not too shabby for those that aren't sure about the car audio world, like if they wanna get in it or not. I think I could get more but I'm trying to help out a friend as I've had this stuff just sitting around, could use any sort of cash. Any help would be appreciated.
  21. I call fake. Just sayin. Or else that's the shot of everyone's lifetime put together.
  22. And considering you said you're pretty much broke, you don't have the money for em. But don't worry, think most of us are like that. Save up for 1-2 big things and wait until we save up again.
  23. a grand ain't bad. I just looked up some rims and tires for my car. came out to 1135. I like the fact I can get rims I actually do like for $150 a piece. Not stoked on the fact it's just as much for the flippin tires. Lol. Good thing I got other things to work on the car first! But if he can help you out, I wouldn't expect a big drop to like 700 but maybe 950 or so. But again, he'll be able to tell ya, not me. As far as rims, Idk. I've actually never thought about that. I know places take tires but what about rims? I don't know
  24. I'd call to find out how exactly they do it. I'm sure every place is different, even within the same chain. But I'd call and they'll probably say to just bring them in, they'll look at them and give you a price of what they'll give you for em.
