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…

Rant a little right now, I am just so...... i don't even know the emotion I am right now. :suspect: I am laying in bed listening to music, and it gets me to thinking about my old truck that got impounded. Makes me think about the system I had in it, no it wasn't the loudest. But it was mine and had ALOT of blood and sweat in it. 95% of it was paid for by me, and my working. And I just don't see it fair/just that they can take it for one reason not related to anything inside the truck and not let me get ANYTHING out of the truck. I lost ALL my tools, extra wiring, speakers, amps, even my damn school clothes. . i tried several times to get things out and every time they…

I had to schedule today, and I changed my choices around, and decided, hey! I'll take a woodshop class and learn how to build boxes and stuff. But when I asked my counselor, he said we didn't have a class like that. I just said, is there any class that deals with wood in general? He said no. My school is pretty damn nice (cept for a majority of the people that go there) and it used to be one of the top where I live. I can't believe their is no wood working class at all lol.. so yeah just wanted to say that how many of you guys have wood classes in school?

can you change your username, and if you can how?

If so, please shoot me a PM.

I haven't been to active in the past couple of days and I'd kind of like to share with everyone why. (As you are all like another family ). I found out on Friday that my Dad's place of employment was shutting down in June. He's been there fro 22 years, and to have this happen is very rough. There are very few jobs around here.. Well to make matters worse, he suffered a ruptured anuerysm last night at about 8 O'clock. There's nothing scarier than holding your Dad thinking that it will be the last time you see him. He was in the process of hanging a wallmount for his new LCD TV in his room last night when he bent down to grab a screw. He stood up and said he has the…

Every once in a great while I come across some posts that make me think, "Damn..." like those asking about speaker impedence when they got the website up in front of them with the diagrams and they STILL don't understand it. Anyone got any zingers to share from the internet, retail side, friends and customers? Fire away!

Okay so most of you probably already hate me but anywho... So im selling my JL audio 10" w1v2 in a pre fab box with my alpine 500 mono. This kid offered me 200$, am i ripping him off or is this a good price? I know how most of you feel about my system so its probably ripping him off. Sorry if i posted in wrong section but i didnt know where this would fit in.

Got this from another forum and decided id start it here

I don't like seeing "Junior Member" under my name when i post..... How many post do i need to move up in the world? LOL I can whore my post count if i have too. :bigclap:

I am asking because I signed up almost a week ago and still have not been accepted as a fourm member. I can read but am not able to reply.

i went to look in my sent pm's box and none of them are in there. anyone know why this might be?

By the time I finish typing this I will have spent 30 minutes trying to think of something productive to say. I am browsing SSA from the comfort of my couch, thanks to Nintendo. Where is your most memorable place you have logged into the forum?

I figured this could go here instead of the box section So yeah, I was telling my friend how I'm going to die when I build my box because it just looks pretty hard. He is a pretty stubborn person and he thinks theres no difference after 2000 watts whether you have a sealed or ported box. He says I should just get a box premade because its not worth it and it won't make a difference He also thinks that no matter how big I make it, it won't make a difference in how loud it gets. lol, discuss.

So, might as well get the whole story out there since I have been getting questions about it for months now. I was pulling out of a Wal-Mart parking lot, with the system up, and there where cops at Smoothie King. Smoothie King is about

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

So I buy all this stuff and bam, got laid off. Oh well, free time to BUILD !!!! As bad as it feels to have your job eliminated after being at the same place for 12 years, maybe its time for a change. I got a decent severance package (I'm paid until 9/30/09) WOO HOO. I'm going to fix some things around the house and try to get my chit installed/built into the car. As long as I get a job within the next month, I'll be real happy, because then I'll pretty much have a $32k check to deposit in the bank of extra cash, that would be sweet (wife says new kitchen). Anyway, hopefully I'll have some build pics up soon. The network engineer formally known as Bob.

So bigjon you got me thinking about buying another car... Well, I'll tell you all originally with my income tax I planned to get my door fixed and get a new paintjob on my current ride, but now I'm tossing the idea of a second vehicle around... I don't need one by any means, but I'm starting to get nostalgic over my old '88 Brougham that I lost a few years ago... and it would be fun to have two Caddys in the stable What would you all do? Does anyone have multiple vehicles and can give me a ballpark figure of how much extra I might pay to have another car on the liability insurance? Thanks guys Here are some pics of the old car

Here is what I woke to this morning in North East South Dakota... The 2-4"of new snow is on top of the 3 feet or so we already have. And to top it off we have 30-40 winds...

Anybody watching the big game tonight? I'm going for the gators of course, hopefully Oklahoma's no huddle offense doesn't shut Florida's defense down. I doubt it will be a shutout like last year against the over-hyped Ohio State. Should be a good game though.

OK everyone, i hired my man Mark LaFountain again to build me another site and so far i REALLY like it! He is REALLY GOOD!!! Yes i know i drive an SUV but other then that i care about the planet so dont give me any crap I will reduce my tahoe driving to make up for it. Im hoping to drive the honda more anyway. So please visit www.greenerplanettoday.com and also, please help me get the forum up off the ground!! I dont really want any of the crazyness that sometimes happens on car audio forums so if your a mature adult, or at least act like one then join up and help me make that site as good as this one is! If you know anyone else interested tell them to join too! than…

So I was on here like 2 hours ago and everything was fine. I logged on a half hour ago and everything was messed up... so I waited and it's still this way. I can only see the first post in the topic then all the replies are in a very small font in a list on the left hand side of the page. If I click a reply it just reloads the page. SO if anyone knows how to correct this pm me because I won't be able to read replies here
