///M5

G'night. Just realized that 3Am is way to close to my 7am wake up call.

wow, i look somewhat clean shaven in that pic i havent shaved since that pic was taken though and my hairs way longer now Sweet, keep it growin', if it weren't for being in sales I would. I will try to find a pic with my "hair" before the sell out days.

And sexy!

Crap, why does everything have to be so hard. I suppose I should qualify. My system started out as 2 JL10W0's that I had in my other car. I also had a set of Infinity 6.5components. The M5 has 5.25 drivers in the kicks, 3's in the dash, and tweets in the sails. When my old car was totaled I removed my old system and was going to put it it my car. What I didn't realize is that I tore a surround on the Infinities in the removal process, and that no way in heck were 6.5's going to mount to my kickpanels. I built a new box for my 10's and it took up the whole trunk which I need for my job, needless to say a fiberglass project ensued. I selected the Rlp based on lots of reading and enclosure size. Then I heard the sub and realized I couldn't put some crap azz components in with it, so I ordered Cheapboys used Seas W18's from Diyma. Next thing ya know all I do is think about the car stereo and now I need to upgrade the truck. I really want to try out the Daytons, but don't really have the time to go that custom to get them in.....unless Jim tells me it will be fairly easy!! Aargh!

Did Jim fit 7's in his van? I really, really have the itch to buy the new Dayton RS180-4ohms. My F150 is dying to have a system...

me neither then. I don't spend much time there and "thought" I remembered something. I guess the brain recognizes patterns that aren't there at 2:20am after working 12 hours

Ahh, Ill M, eh? no comprende If you subtracted 2 months time from crap, you'd have?

Tom and I are alike, when I don't have to visit customers that is. Sometimes the working life drives me nuts. Short hair, have to shave. She-i-o, give me a break damm it.

Made a wrong turn and drove by it once. Passed N. Hollywood by way too much at that point though.

Ahh, Ill M, eh?

nice to meet you too Sean my name is Yeti if you didnt know Use your right name Funny, my friends called me Yeti in high school. Being 6'8" tends to give you specific sort of nicknames

i've met a few people from the forums, but only one person on CA.com did i know before i joined SSA meets are fuunnnn I will make one someday! Just a little hard from MN. I do travel a bit though so hopefully it will line up, I am in St Louis this week and will be in Orange Cty, CA next week. Too bad I won't have my car, I'd love to have a few of you give it a hear.

Since I was asked a question....do you all know each other just from the site? Obviously there is a VA connection and perhaps a few other locales, but otherwise is it just an SSA brotherhood?

Oh, Jordan my name is Sean. Nice to meet you all.

that is surprising, my dad's truck just got a new battery for the first time in like 7 years, we were amazed the old one lasted that long Mine car didn't start last night, so I checked the numbering on my battery and low and behold it was the original--from 1991! I'd buy another one! Hell, I'd kill to have a batt last half as long. Normally I get a few years max out of them up in the North, but this one takes the cake... couldn't believe it. It is the size of a tractor battery though. Nearly twice the size of a normal batt, not that it should have anything to do with it. I was talking to the salesman at MB. He was telling me the german batteries are way better than the american ones. And they do look like tractor batteries. One time i hacked a bunch of old tractor batteries apart with a machette(sp) In Soviet Russia car batteries hack you up with Machete.

Thanks, I love it as well. I have wanted an E34 M5 since the day they came out in 89 and finally could afford one. Good confusion though....only found the site in Sept, so you haven't been gone that long. Never had another name...on diyma I am B&K but other than that pretty much M5 all over. Here is the history: Bought the car of my dreams Needed a stereo Started to do research Found a few audio forums (never belonged to any forum before) Decided on a stereo Picked a username on the forums that I found thinking I would get some quick advice and get out. Really felt original and used "///M5" as I figured M5 would be taken. Installed said stereo Now re-addicted to car audio (had a few "large" systems including my first in 1989) And of course, like it here at SSA

St. Louis sucks. Not just cause their new "car stereo blue laws" but chit just don't like it. I can see the arch out my hotel window which is cool, but dang nothing I want to do here

Chancres? Get those taken care of ASAP?

Sweet, want a pair of those 8's to dink with myself. Your crossover connections crack me up, soldering isn't that hard--now don't ask to see my soldering joints as, well, oh, ya, they ain't much better than using quick connects.

lol, nice work!

Hey, Welcome or welcome back or nice to meet you or whatever makes sense...

I suppose it is a carputer, but it gets so damn cold in Minny that the LCD on my current deck even isn't happy, I can't imagine a cpu screen taking it any better. That and the 15w oil creates a sluggish startup. Boooo. Have........the........worlds........slowest........connection........here. Stuck...........in...........Chicago...........O'Hare...........aiport on...........my...........way...........to...........St.Louis. Hope...........I ...........eventually...........get ...........there.
