    Deer blasts the side of my truck

    /photoshop funny No but seriously that does suck. At least it's just the plastic doesn't look like any body damage. probably gave the deer a hell of a headache.

    **Official NFL Playoff Thread**

    w00t Green Bay's out !! AZ missed the field goal that could've ended the game at the end of the 4th but it went into OT... Rodgers fumbled and Dansby recovered for AZ touchdown. Pretty good game, it was the highest scoring in post-season history

    KnuKonceptz wiring

    KLMX has worked beautiful for me, I'm running an AQ2200D with a run of 0/1 gauge and a 250amp fuse no problems whatsoever.

    What programming do you usually watch on TV?

    Haha I do the SAME thing! I put on a program to watch and then I'll get engrossed in the computer, before I know it the credits are rolling and I miss the entire show...

    Routing power?

    Why would it be a fire hazard it's heat-shrunk and taped for good measure.
  7. Hey all, I have a question about routing power in the car for mobile video... I have 6 items that need to be powered on the roof: 3 15" flip-down monitors, 2 sun visor monitors, and a video signal booster. Each piece of equipment has #18 gauge power/ground leads and they are fused with very thin glass fuses, so I'm assuming they draw very little amperage (none of the equipment lists actual numbers and Google searches proved useless) so I'm assuming total load I'm looking at under 15 amps or so. I have some spare 9ga wire I could run from the battery up to the headliner for power (it might be overkill but the next smallest wire I have is 18ga and I'm trying to work with what I already have available...) Once I get the 12v lead run from the battery up to the headliner, I'm not sure what the best way to distribute the power would be... I've thought of everything from installing a mini-fuse box (might not fit up in the headliner where I need it, plus cost issue) to an inline fuse holder (9ga in, 6 x 18ga wires out) and for a minute I even considered the half-ass way but I'd rather not do that (cut the 9ga insulation 6 times and just wrap a wire around each slice to tap power.. lol not very professional or safe) So, my main question is, what would be the best way to distribute the power to each of these devices? Thanks!

    Routing power?

    Thanks for the input guys, I ended up making a sort of custom harness with the nine gauge wire: Hope it works OK. All the devices are individually fused and I'm going to fuse the wire as well.

    Alarm System for New Ride???

    I have an Excalibur system installed, with the remote pager... it's been pretty reliable so far (mostly for catching these neighborhood kids kicking their football around and nailing my car lol...) but honestly, among the major brands you can't really go wrong.. in MY opinion, it's who installs the system that matters... ...the idiots who put mine in neglected to set the sensitivity correctly for my shock sensors - a week later my car got side-swiped in my apartment complex and I was none the wiser... didn't even give a warning chirp get it done by a reputable shop or if you're a DIY-kinda guy make sure you triple check your work... Oh nice Deville taillights BTW

    help with trunk lid rattle

    Rattles are caused by two pieces of metal, plastic, etc. vibrating against each other, and "vibrations" are a single piece of metal flexing and making noise on its own, like the sides of the trunk... dampening material like Damplifier will help 100% with vibrations of single panels but for rattles you need to put something in between the two parts that are making noise, such as expanding foam, CCF, or as Ant said you could even temporarily rig it up with a sock, sponge, etc etc until you find something permanent... I used to keep a couple of towels in the car for this Depends on the car...not sure about the other guy but for me, my box was too big to let the bass through when they were faced backwards... so I turned them around... if you have pretty good clearance on either side of the box then I would leave them as is. But it never hurts to try it the other way too.

    Second Skin Promotion - 10 free Door Packs

    Just now ordering it now... lol But on a side note I did get to spread the word about SecondSkin at the car show last night... I had a group of car audio fans come up and check out my setup, the first thing they noticed was the lack of panel vibrations... and after they mentioned the high price of Dynamat, I pointed out all the DampPro on the inside and shot them the website, so hopefully you'll be getting some new customers soon

    Sorry about non-responsive PMS

    Non-responsive PMS? That time of the month already?? Hehe j/k shizz
  20. Hey all, I started off back in February about 173lbs, a little beer gut and not a bit of muscle on my body... a friend from work is training me and got me involved in weight training. It's been three months, training 4x a week and completely changing my eating habits I've lost about 15lbs of pure fat, but my main goal is to gain a lot of lean muscle mass. I haven't been doing much cardio or abs so I need to pick up on those two things... tell me what you think of my progress so far 2/23/09, First week in the gym 173lbs 5/9/09, 160lbs

    help with trunk lid rattle

    x2 on what these guys said... I ended up filling the hollow spaces in my lid with Great Stuff foam and covering it in two layers of Damplifier Pro... however the trunk lid has a tendency to close under its own weight now... so if it's a concern to you you might want to stick with one layer or just apply it over the larger flat surfaces.

    Do you smoke?

    lol same here... I used to ask my friends what the point of smoking cigarettes was I said "all they do is make you dizzy"... I used to smoke mainly when drinking but now I'm starting to smoke more often again...
