RIP Shawn my thoughts are with his family and loved ones

happy birthday again!

Upgrade my system please! I may try out the ati cards next go around, I've always had nvidia and never tried out ati.....I will however stick to my intel processors....not a amd fan at all

Corsair 400r case, seasonic 650w modular psu, i3570k, 8gb corsair vengeance, gtx 580 black ops (got it from a friend because he gave away one of my old cards, pretty nice upgrade!), asrock z77 extreme 4, 128gb ssd + 1tb hd + 2tb external, 24" viewsonic led, logitech 5.1 surround and g400s mouse on steelseries qck cloth. Just hooked my gf up with my old setup, corsair 500r case, evga 750w modular psu, gigabyte mobo, e8400, 4gb corsair, gtx 560 ti (horrible drivers, tons of issues with it), 1tb hd and a super old mx518 mouse that works intermittently. Play csgo, dayz, arma 3, rising storm, watch dogs

I've met this guy 4+ years ago and he was clueless about anything audio related. He had 2 DC subs in his car and it sounded like absolute garbage. Definitely staying away from anything he sells.....or gives away for free.....

welcome from the ne side

Honestly, for me, it's not a huge difference as one would expect. The enclosure for the 2 12"s (sub up, port sidefiring) wasn't all that great 144's on music with windows down. IIRC with just one xcon in 2.1 cubes @ 32hz (sub up, port up) it played high 142's (different songs and sub positioning) a lot of factors to go into consideration.

Finally went ahead and changed out the amps and removed a sub.......these rf amps are power thirsty gain is only at 3 out of 11 and it's dipping down to 12v's already. (maybe I need to recalibrate my volt meter though) I'll be listing the saz3000d in the next few days (going to hate myself for getting rid of it though)

Downsizing my equipment and looking for a new amp to power 1 xcon. Just looking for a awesome mono amp 500-1500w @ 2ohms. Trying to keep it under $250 and not in a rush, hoping to come across some black friday deals. Any recommendations? So far I've came across http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_34764_Rockford-Fosgate-R1200-1D.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68122_RE-Audio-USX-45KV.1.html and the IA 10.1 or sae-1000d

Looks like a awesome enclosure! I just removed one of my xcon's and downgraded my power, however at times it doesn't seem like it! I love these xcon's

woot! I hear you on the overspray in the garage, when I did my bike it was everywhere.

ooooooh boy, that looks awesome with the white divider!

did you see the chameleon pearls? or the metallics?

ahhhh, my fan is very noisy for some reason, but it never gets over 35c i have it set to 70% iirc, I may check out the 7 series soon and put the 560 in my old gigabyte and e8400 system.

You made me upgrade my system...... Kept my existing psu seasonic modular 650w and gtx 560ti (awesome card, but horrible driver issues......after finding out there are really zero stable drivers, i could have kept my existing setup) New corsair 400r case which is awesome! i5 3570K 8gb corsair vengeance asrock z77 extreme 4 I am super happy with this ~$500 upgrade!

damn man, good luck with that one now.

woot for intel + nvidia!

Then yes sir, you got it. My bike was originally black and spraying the white on the fairings with no base coat was a complete nightmare. I used a lot to cover them and didn't come across any of the gunmetal at my local hardware stores until I was working on the tank. I will definitely do gunmetal base for any light colored plastidip from now on.

If you are doing white, you do not need to have black at all. Just do the gunmetal as the base and go from there. I have no idea how the actual sprayer works with gallons of dip, but yes the cans like to be really close so it doesn't get textured.

Looks great and exactly like my bike! Lol Idk how you did yours, but it looks good. I did 2 light coats of white then did heavy/wet coats to my liking after that. Also, don't forget to lay down that gunmetal as primer. It really does make a world of difference.

Northeast, Crosby to be exact.

Nice, well, the white plasti-dip is really thin and it likes to shoot out blotchy, keep the can warm and it shoots just like normal. I'll try and meet up with you soon, kind of a hectic schedule at the moment.

Have you been on the dipyourcar forum? A lot of great information over there! Since mine was nothing but small fairings and awkward shaped, I was able to rattle can all of mine. The pearlizer is just like the glossifier, it acts as the clear coat and protects, but the best way to protect plastidip is to wax it (liquid spray wax) Once I get the bike legal to drive, I'd be more than happy to show you. How long are you going to be in Houston before you move?

i just finished dipping my bike just like that, minus the clear coat, did gun metal base coat and about 5 coats of white with 2 heavy coats of the pearlizer

coming along nicely
