TeamHT Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 I agree with ya when the owners say that about their shitty system. But paying like $400 for everything and doing 145s or up is awesome. Oh yeah, credit is given where credit is due. And you don't need $1,000 woofers to get loud or be happy with your setup. But don't eat tree bark, and then tell me, meh. It tastes pretty good for being tree bark, lol Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-train-13k Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 sorry for the story but i must share my frustration. im adding a ground or two to my system in preparation for my DC 2k. using all 1/0 of course and an xs d3400 in the back. when a buddy of mine who is wondering why i have to use such large wire, i tell him im planning on running a dc 2k. he has two boss phantom garbage subs and a audiobahn poop amp in a prefab box from a pawn shop. and he says that he is using 4awg wire and a 4 farad cap and is getting 2k rms. i told him id bet 400 $ that hes not seeing 800rms, whatd he do? he says we'll use my DVM and test it when he puts it in his new car. WHAT A MORON! people like that piss me off.

Autruche Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Let's see... Not sure if any of this was mentioned... Amp companies that overrate their products How much test equipment costs People that dis companies like DC, Fi, Sundown, Etc. because they aren't mainstream like Alpine or JL People that won't believe that their Pyle stuff is shit People that want you to help get them as loud as you but don't want to get a new alternator or battery. People that buy nice equipment but run it all from a shitty head unit. People that want their shit ran on the stock head unit that doesn't have any features worth saving. Especially when they don't have volume displays. People that run 4 channels for subs. "MAX" ratings "4000 watt" amps that have 70 amps of fusing When you buy a $900 amp and it says you need to buy an external fuse block and fuse. Why can't it come with one? When you get an amp that is proven to do like 2500 RMS but it has 4 gauge inputs. WHY IS FIBERGLASS RESIN AND MATTING SO EXPENSIVE? when someone sees that you have a 15 and they say 'you must like the lows' when you use a crimp on butt-connector but you didn't crimp it hard enough and the wire falls out and you can't fit it back in, so you have to cut the damn wire and put a new connector in. Rise I hate that it takes so damn long for my soldering iron to warm up. Running out of solder. Not getting every strand of wire into the terminal. Having to upgrade your suspension for 800+ pounds of equipment. When you sit down, use a tool, put it down next to you, then can't find it. The list goes on. Need Test Tones/Sine Waves?

FUCKING THIS. also when your headliner is falling apart form all the bass ppl trying to break in to your car because they know you got some beat prices for 1/0 ipod/mp3(or whatever you use for demos or for daily bumps) run out of battery engine wine when you are installing an amp, and the number 1 thing you forgot to run and connect right before you turn the car on is the remote wire when ppl ask "ill give you $100 for that 18 you got" when ppl say "why do you like that so damn loud?" when using cd to bump your music, it starts to scratch and gets a bit embarrassing. how heavy a woofer in an enclosure can be ppl calculating their power by MAX or PEAK rating. and much more that i cant think of right now. How do the Japanese feel about bass?You know that since 03/11/11 Progene? I just saw that stuff on CNN. They said it makes your junk shrink all up. lol.im pretty sure the op wont even notice if it gets even smaller.
