    The new setup help

    As a previous installer/salesman I can tell you the average price for a single 15" box ranges from about 160-200, I would find a reputable shop and bring them the specifications and go from there. It would make your life easier fitting it into your car since it's built to fit.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Leaving England tomorrow, it's pretty bittersweet.. This is by far one of my favorite countries I've been to but It's time to get home.

    TAKE A BREAK!
  5. Unless you are planning on running something at relatively low current draw AH is a pretty useless spec for us in car audio. You should really look at cranking amps, which shows you how much current can be drawn over a 30 second period reaching 9-10 volts (IIRC). You could pick up 4 of the prismatic cells from EvWest and wire them in series for a total of 14.4v nominal and around 1000a for 10 second maximum. If you were to look at a similarly spec'd AGM they are capable of much more current. The main benefit of Lithium is charge time and weight, they are significantly down on output current as they are very temperamental.
  6. Take a picture of the mounting, with a little modification in most vehicles you can easily fit a group 31.

    Beast Mode Subs

    I have heard but not confirmed that they are made by Incriminator with some parts from DC.

    In the market for new 6.5" speakers

    I picked up a pair of SilverFlutes for around 40 bucks + shipping and I am very happy with them paired with my MiniDSP and horns.
  10. I was wrong, it's actually kenwood. http://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/dnn992/ EXXSPENSIVE!
  11. One of the brand new pioneer head unit runs android. It's pretty slow and the unit it's self is like 1k
  12. I have a friend I used to work with and he runs 8 junkyard alternators on his old truck. It's ugly as hell but it does work.

    Thinking of a 6th for custom Q18

    TYPICALLY subwoofers with higher motor force tend to do better in 6th orders and subwoofers with lower motor force tend to work better in 4th order bandpass boxes.

    What carriers do they use? Its unlocked https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-g

    Thinking of a 6th for custom Q18

    I can say with a good amount of confidence that the Q is not best choice for a 6th order bandpass. Also unless you plan on giving up a TON of space for a 6th order bandpass for an 18, I wouldn't do it. my 6th order Zcon wall with 4 15's is almost 50 cubes.

    Samsung smart phones

    If you're on a budget the Moto G is a pretty nice phone for the price ~180 and is probably the best budget friendly unlocked phone out there. If you wanted used, try looking on Swappa.com I've bought 4-5 phones on there with great luck and at great prices.
  17. And dimensions are needed.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Honestly I've been very unimpressed with the Camaro, IMO the new Mustang body and style just kills the camaro's looks. The interior is a bit better in the Camaro but I don't think it looks as good as the mustang interior.. if that makes sense. If I was going to buy a new high performance american car it would be a toss up between the new Mustang and the Corvette.
  19. I'm pretty lazy but I've just been using a good thick layer of plastidip and it seems that it works pretty well.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    If you do vinegar + dawn dish soap it works fairly well, but the best results I've had were from CLR.

    Weird coil readings...

    I had a meter which batteries were nearly dead and it would read extremely off.

    LT160 John Deere

    It was running fine and I had to idle down to get off the tractor to open a gate. When I throttled back up and engaged the pto that's when it started happening. I have a carb kit coming and will pull it apart all the way and make sure everything it working freely. It appears that the spring has broken or lost all its tension. It looks like I need a new carb because you can't take it apart. Does the choke move freely, does it bind at any point?

    LT160 John Deere

    I worked as a mechanic for a landscaping company and we had this come up a few times where someone adjusted the idle/choke causing it to billow with smoke. I would also check the choke just to be sure. Make sure the choke opens all the way and the choke plate is not partially closed (even just a little) or it can get sucked closed. The choke on these engines has a spring and can be adjusted to different settings, underneath the plastic spring housing is a guide that runs on a small pin in the top of the carburetor. Dirt can accumulate in this guide and keep the choke from opening completely. If the choke plate will not open all the way, this will need to be cleaned
