Figured it would be fun to start a meme thread

Okay, I have had this horrible smell for about 3 days. Didnt know what it was until i opened the good and seen my fuse smoking..... So I found my fuse holder smoking with the side that goes to the amp alll burned up and melted.... I dont know why at all.... It only started after my car had ran out of gas... Not sure how or why that would have an affect. but the odd thing too is my subs pound fine and my highs are still going. What can I do!?!? or check for? The only other thing I could even think was bad was a ground? Would that be a problem?

Nothing more than minor cuts, scrapes, and pinches here - mainly from removing panels. Sliced my finger somewhat with a utility knife once, wasn't fun. Anyone else have any other interesting injuries sustained during installation? - Steve

I will be down in Dallas, Tx in a couple of weeks. Are there any shops some of you from the Dallas area would suggest? Looking at subs, amps, and speakers.

Hi I'm in New Zealand and looking at opening a car audio shop in the future, will mainly focus on car audio retail and installs, in mid range - high end and also car alarms, tining etc. Tossing around names/ ideas of a shop names. Must be professional and not already be used. Any ideas?

Can you believe i finally got to meter the MOAB today ;D I got in the lane and they had the 30sec crapp going on and had a wackass burned cd none of the tracks were labled and only jumped in increments of 5. > i did the sweep and by the time i found the track with the tone my time was up > we only got 1 run... Rippoff but i did manage to get a 149.8db @ 5oHz ON THE DASH.

Hey guys, I am about to pull all the seats and carpet out of the ride to rerun everything and dampen areas of the ride... I was looking at second skin and raamat... any pro/cons between these? Also what is the foam they say to put on top of it? Do I just need the damplifier or should I get some of that foam too?

i have a 2000 ford taurus with a 1500w rms powerbass amp and two 12" kicker cvx's. does anyone have any experience with the taurus for bass? basically i am wondering how involved it would be to upgrade the + wire from my 130 amp alternator (my lights dim and voltage drops), and how well the car handles bass. i am trying to decide whether or not to dynamat extreme the trunk.

Hey guys, I have to do a asignment in class where I have to create a manual. Instead of trying to type this, I was wondering if there is one floating around out there that someone could point me in the direction of. My teacher said I could just copy one and give it to her. So if anyone knows where there is one on the web, lemme know. Thx Josh

my friend let me borrow is 08 avalanche for a couple days and i was of course blastin the music....i had the volume on the head unit all the way up bass all the way down and the volume on the ipod all the way up wit the EQ set to treble booster. i played put on and on the high note the lights dim to the point that they are almost off and last night all fo the electronics acutally reset while i was driving the truck when i was bangin. the guages all shut off radio went off lights went off...everything went off for about 2 seconds then came back on and it was playing fine again...but still dimming. also the subs sometimes just cut out and stop playing all together when i tu…

So today i went to replace my girlfriends hifonics bxi 610 with my old rd 1000.1 v1 amp. Before i made the swap she said sub was playing. After i swap the amps i go to tune the amp by ear and absolulately zero output from the sub. So i grab my dmm and turn it to the ohms setting, with the car off it reads .9-1.1 but when i turn the car on it goes to -23-25. first i think maybe the sub has a bad lead or something so i go grab another perfectly working sub and get the same results. Then i was thinking its gotta be the amp then so i switch them back, same results on both subs and both amps. So now shes without beats and its all my fault of course so i wont hear the end of it…

I have my 15" Fi Q sitting in my house just lying around and was going to put it to good use until someone buys it. If i've read correctly then i need a power supply, an amp (sold the sundown that was with it), and some RCA's? For the power supply i was going to try this... Newegg.com - Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US 580W ATX Power Supply - Power Supplies For the amp i was just going to get some crappy lil amp sorta like this Hitron HPA2000.1D (hpa20001d) Mono Subwoofer Amps Car Amplifiers Car Audio Car Audio, Video, & GPS Navigation - Sonic Electronix that will be enough to make the sub go but doenst have to be too nice like my car amp because im low on cash and this whol…

Hey guys im in the process of taking out my system in my truck. Well i took out the three batteries and all my amps and subs i have in my cab and when i went to start the car it wouldnt turn on.

The alt is fine as well it idles at like 13.7 volts. thanks.

I recently ordered 2 Tantric HDD 18s. I got the carbon fiber dust caps on them, mainly for cosmetic appearance. But are there any real performence benefits over normal caps?

does anyone know how to and if you can, carbon fiber panels?

what does everyone think about this career choice? if anyone is in the mobile audio profession, what do you think of your choice? and is there money to be made?

Will carpeting the sub box lower your db output?

Okay guys I need some help. I wanna order some speaker box carpet for my box but I have no idea how much I need... My box is 30"wide, 24"deep, 13"high. How many yards will I need? What kind of adhesive should I use?

will it be harder for cars to get into the upper 140's or 150's than suv's?
