Cars that is... This was brought up in another (non-audio <gasp>) forum. I had to think on it a while. How many cars have you had? Now, this'll be easier for the younger end of the forum members... for the rest, a guesstimate will do I supppose. I started around 15 1/2 yrs old. In order, as best as I can recall: 85 Camaro 2.8 86 LTD wagon 302c.i. 87 Olds Calais 89 Olds Calais 82 Olds Cutlass 307 c.i. 86 Aries wagon 85 Olds Cutlass 90 Dodge Shadow 88 Cougar 92 Geo Metro 91 Thunderbird 302 c.i. 89 Olds Cutlass 94 Grand Cherokee (miss her) 99 Grand Am Gt * 02 Trailblazer * 90 Mustang Bought the 'Maro during the summer of being 15 yrs old. I just turned …

Ive lived 28 years here in the Cali valley and have never, ever seen snow on the valley floor. I live in 0 elevation and awoke to snow on my lawn. Now it wasnt that much but the fact that Ive never seen it here before is blowing my mind. I love it!!!!! Glad I didnt put money on it last night. snow in my hood

I thought I'd post this here, since I've noticed that there's quite a few people from both places. My wife and I have been thinking a lot about our future. We currently live in a small town in Kansas. The largest cities are more than 30 minutes away (both of us drive about 45 minutes to work). My wife will be done with school in the next year and a half and is getting into the medical field (the administrative side). I'm currently in school and am strongly considering going into the medical field (most likely radiology or physical therapy). The job outlook around here is decent, but the biggest town we'd work in is less than 130,000 (Topeka, KS). That's where my wi…

Have a good Birthday Bro!

Happy Birthday!

So I finally convinced my girl to putting a system in her car. Lol I bought a 10" RE Audio SE-x dual 2 ohm and a Rockford Fosgate T500-1bd amplifier. I bought a premade sub box from Sonicelectronix.com its 1.3 cubic ft. The stuff came in today. Im so stoked on the install. I got kicker 2 gauge wring and stuff from my previous setup and I'll just use those wires. The problem is my girlfriend won't let me take her car to do the install. She hides the keys and always has the door locked lol. It's like she's ok with me putting the stuff in but won't let me. She's a lil teaser I wanna break in her car lol. Ive been watching YouTube with the coathanger trick and whatnot. Any s…

Ok here it goes. I have some 'splainin to do lol. I've had to take out two of my subs from my 4 sub system because I don't remember which company (DC or DroppinHz) mistakenly sent out the wrong voice coul setup, no biggie we are all human. I'm new to big systems so I don't know a lot about the electronics yet as far as wiring so when I called the company's I asked for two level 4 18's that at would wire down to 1 ohm together on a DC 3.5k and accepted what I got. The problem is I got 4 subs on two different voice coils. 1 set was d1's and the other set was d2's. I thought DroppinHz made the mistake so i called them and they said they would handle it, and turned it over to…

postin it up...

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them thebill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and goto their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made anerror and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as anopportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would havea tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell themthat the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to eachof the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dol…

Well, sorta. My friend told me about a '70 Chevy C10 pickup that a buddy of his was selling for $500, so I figured while I had a little extra money I'd pick it up and have something to play with It's got an Olds 455 big block motor in it, rebuilt Holley 600 carb, new water pump, new distributor/wiring, new fan. She's not very pretty to look at right now but that'll change once I get it running well... I'm having trouble getting the engine to start for one, the guy told me it ran fine but I can't get the thing to run for more than a few seconds before it dies. Also, the entire brake system needs to be replaced (master cylinder, lines, shoes, wheel cylinders) as do the tr…

So today I was in a HURRY to get to school, ya i know school, well one of the 2 lanes I was on was closing so I popped into the other lane which wasn't being closed due to street painting and to my surprise the dude in front of me slams his brakes on and I couldn't get out of the way fast enough. His story was he was turning into his lane-way, well turns out he was and i guess he had to stop to do it? at any rate here is the goods! 2- lights 1- power steering tank 1-front fender 1-hood (kinda) 1- 90degree fitting attaching coolant jug to rad! and ya this is my dad's car, my car was getting new tires/wheel bearings! and if you are wondering about the truck well I turned h…

Do people who don't know what they are talking about have to say " I have a D class amp" or a "Hifnoics Titan 1500 D Class" Isn't it automaticly asumed if you have half a brain you have a D class on the subs? sure they have a/b amps for subs but they $$$ It's just bothers me horribly. Ok I'm done lol

I just got a new car. A 2000 Crown Vic Police Interceptor. I got lucky and found one with the 3.55 Trak-lock in the rear and already has some flowmasters on it. Car runs pretty good needs a tune up and some tweeking but it still hauls ass. I will post pics today.d
