yea i've heard nothing but good from that school.

7 11. lucky numbers. gonna be a great kid

Is it me or does some of our local audio shop now a days don't know squat about car audio. I decided to start this topic so that people can share any of their experiences with your local audio shop about the shear ignorance of some of these people. I'll share first: I decided to call one of my local car audio shops here in houston,tx just to mess with them and see what they really know about audio. ME: I'm running 3000 watts rms and my lights are dimming. what can I do about that. SHOP: "I have some capacitors here that will help with that. 2 5 farad caps should be enough to stop the dimming. what kind of amps do you have? ME: soundstream and sundown audio. SHOP: whats SUNDOWN? ME: It's a really good audio company. SHOP: never heard of them. Must not be a popular comany ME: what are some of the better subs out there right now? SHOP: Kicker L7, JL W7, I also have some Q powers that a hit hard. ME: what about sound proofing and deadening. SHOP: we don't sell that here. it doesn't do much anyways. ME: I heard it can help with the quality of the sound of you system and stop the rattle. SHOP: No, it takes away from the bass. ME: ok, i see about the caps and call you later. SHOP: ok bud. after he said that about the sound deadening I had it. had to get off the phone before i call him out of his name. PLEASE SHARE YOUR STORIES. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY THE SHOPS NAME IF YOU DON'T WANT.

the point of this post and why it's been so popular is for people to tell stories of the so called Professionals that work in retail store that don't know what they should know to do there profession. would you go to a doctor that didn't know the difference between you kidney and your liver and what their functions are? I wouldn't. I've worked in a couple of audio shops and hated it because the owner of the stores sold crappy equipment at rediculous prices and wanted us to install them as cheap as possible. and lying to customers about product so that he can make another dollar. I didn't last in those shops because I would question the installers ways, so i quit those crappy shops.

that vent in the back is kinda wierd. is there anything connected to it.?

Ruckus Looks real from a distance

Yea mechman has great customer service and they will help you get what you need

Good choice with the DC subs and sundown amps. I would suggest putting 45's in the corners of that box. I didn't see any unless I'm mistaken. I would go with Kinetik FTW. I'm a Kinetik dealer and could get you some and I'm in houston,tx just PM me if interested Also. Seal off that trunk. increase your DB by sealing off that trunk from the back seat so that everything stays in the cabin of the car. MY two cents

i've had some experience with those ebay brand alt. like DB electrical. but not BNR alternators and starters All they do is take a stock alt and rewrap it with more copper. but what that does is take away from the idle output of the alt. even still I had a DB electrical "200amp" HO alt. bought on back in 2005 for my truck back then and it did nothing to help my system. my idle voltage actually dropped and I did the big 3 and everything. Overrated in my opinion

So your adding two subs and you need springs that can handle 780lbs each?

I could be your browser. For some reason. If i try to upload pics from a external source, like a flash drive or camera, it won't upload. If i transfer those pics to my computer, then it transfer fine. Not sure if your trying to upload pics from an external source.

What do you mean Just like me? I'm not understanding what your talking about. PLEASE elaborate

Naw it just shows you he was trying to sell you what he had and most people dont mess with what they dont know or dont want competition taking there money (a real business person would help you in making the right decision for you and not for them at the end of the is just sales and revenue). So true

keep it coming Jay-cee.

So in your opinion, its a toss up between the SX and the Death Row. In reference to the SX that you heard before, how does the Q hold up against it, or vice versa. in my opinion. The Q is more of an SQ sub. the SX and death rows are more towards performance. like i said they put out some major bass in the right application

Hey just a hea's up at that show with 5 wittnesses 30 ft away from the term lad it hit a 127.8 while demo one window down lmao thats enough to for a good drive by for meca .... this is one my favorite builds. good work sir.

Yea you got alot of space in the boat. LOL suburbans are huge. Do the front stage right. nice mids and highs to keep up with the subs. I've seen that video that Meade did and yes it did save space. but he has a tahoe and you have a suburban. you have alot more space that he does. no need to drill that huge hole in your floor keep us posted on this one. this should be interesting.

yeah... but first i have to pay off a huge fine for violating the sound ordiance LOL Please be respectful for the sake of car audio enthusiasts and the public. Yea. Alot of cities around the country are acutually banning loud car stereos. to the point that they will tow your car and have the system taken out at YOUR expense. some crazy stuff. So be respectful
