This GCON in the top right corner of my screen is beautiful ....

Rear sway bar showed up.

Asserting that kids today are pussies and not tough enough for life is one thing.... flat out saying that it is a positive thing to teach kids to retaliate by escalating situations is just such a horrible concept to me it makes me a little fucking sick honestly.

In regards to technology, yes, but they don't know shit about taking care of themselves, anything about history, half can't do any math without a calculator. I personally think we are going backwards. We're just getting closer to killing ourselves and have mother nature purge herself of our destructive nature. I get the message but I call partial bullshit. They take better care of their health in many ways. Less incident of nearly every disease. Most of what is left is suicide or a culture epidemic. They are more informed about drug a abuse and sex. They are more socially intellectual in almost every way. For the most part kids come out brilliant genius'. We just fuck up that roll and ruin it for them. The people on this site are FAAAAAAR ahead of the average. Even the most ignorant person has a leg up on joe q public. And joe q public of today is leaps and bounds above what our grandparents dealt with. It is just the way it works. If we got slowly worse we would have died out a long time ago. Knowing how to solve a matrix without a calculator is pointless in daily practice. You need to know how so you can learn why we have a machime to do it. If someone blasted us into the stone age we wouldnt need long division anyway. We would have more immediate problems. When you learned how to do all that shit math in school it was needed. Because they didnt have disposable machines that could do it for you, and nothing when we were kids required anynof that kind of math. Now in industry from coding to engineering we need math like that to be precise on a daily basis. And since the long way takes too long it is more important to know how to run a machine. Thinking otherwise is like thinking that learning to put fuel in a car is silly when you can just raise horses. Have you spent any time around children, especially teens lately? They are socially inept. They can't communicate with each other at all without a machine. Two teens sitting 2 feet apart on a couch and how do they talk? They text each other. They ARE more informed about sex and drug abuse and they still choose to ignore it. That is stupidity, steps backwards. As for the machines, what will they use when the machines don't work? Ever go to a store or restaurant and you bill comes out to, oh let's say, $20.36. You hand the person $21.00, they plug it into the cash register, then you find a penny in your pocket and hand it to them. They don't know how much change to give you. They can't do anything for themselves. I could go on with this forever. You live in IN, Matt lives in MN. COMPLETELY different experience.

Having alittle fun behind my office on a Saturday Morning. Volume is about 3/4 since I'm just walking around at idle and not monitoring voltage although its not much a issue with this new badass alternator.

Here we are peoples. The build some of you are waiting for.................. This will be a three phase style build. I will be competing Street Stock at first, then I will switch up to SS NW, the SS 3-4 for the DBdrag sanction. We have here a 2003 Yukon XL that has been Deemed(by me) the SSA YUKONVICT. ^^^^^^^^^ LAST SEASON New Season - New Truck Gotta get them Stock boys off there Much better but needs new tires Those are for the Winter Stock tires the Deuces will get them over winter for summer Much better than Stock radio with the tape player Holy intake Batman Gotta have the Juice! But what about the Alternator to charge it That needs to be cleaned up but thats enough for now lets go have fun!

Throwin a lil somethin to bump to in the minivan I just bought for my girl. Setup will consist of: Clarion CZ401 USB H/U 1 Pair Skar Audio VXI65 Components 2 Skar Audio MA-8D4's Audiopipe APSM-1500 VXI's will be ran off the H/U for now along with the stock rear 6x9's. Eventually will be powered by an APSM-2125 to match the sub amp. Anyways, here's what I have so far:

I think their great temp/cheap amplifiers. I always recommend them for cheap ppl lol

ehicle:2000 mercury sable im guessing. big trunk small opening.

Tuned in!

This thread is pointless period, you already got your point across. Grow up and let it go already.

And it begins...

So are all you guys gonna do is argue everytime Randall makes a post, just clutters up the build thread.

do some online reading please.

You have to be kidding. Read the directions. if he's really hooking his system up like that, YES! he has the 12in. "bridged" on that mono amp and he has the 8in. hooked up to the other 2 outputs. get ready for the magic SPL smoke

"The Big 3" is replacing the factory wires from the alt to battery, power, and ground wire with thicker wire, typically 0 gauge. There are plenty of write-ups and suggestions on wire choices. One of the vendors on this site is even running a sale, of course you have to do the labor. Try the search function, some people have luck with it, others not so much.

Sounds like you need to alter your diet. Sean is fucking you up with all this Jappo food. You need good ol' American preservative and steroid laced goodness.

You're running a 12" and an 8" off the same mono amp? Read the forum rules, introduce yourself in the Newbie sign-in, and read, read, read. There is a wealth of information on this site and many people who will help you with great advice, but it does require some effort on your part.

from my experience no it will not be enough, and or. it would not be enough for me rather. ill tell you a little bit about why i say so. i had a 200 amp H/o and 2 yellow tops in the rear and 1 under the hood. all 0 gauge with big three, with a saz 3000D on 2 15 inch BLs,@1 ohm,. i suffered low voltage, my amp would run hot, i would blow breakers and i cooked a few alternators, i added, 1 more cell to the rear and it helped. but was still not where i wanted to be.... i ended up with 4 optimas in the rear, and 1 under the hood along with a 200 amp h/o to be able to run cool and stay with decent voltage. @1 ohm. i never ran below. lastly,. i can not for the life of me figure out how you plan to run run dual 2s at 1 ohm daily and comps ay .5 unless your going to run 1 sub daily.

There is NEVER an excuse for being physical. Okay, perhaps there is an excuse, but just because your dick is small doesn't mean you should take it out on others.

Thanks for posting the flyer Senchez

Aaron Paul got the Emmy! Yeah bitch!

Agreed, two fifteens in any trunk car is not for a beginner.

make sure you have solid grounds also. paint is all away from grouning point and bolts are tight.

I had to go to counseling because I pushed someone in the bathroom when I was in high school. They wouldn't let me back until I did. All this bullshit about bullies drives me crazy. And I was in NO way a bully, never messed with anyone without having a reason. I've been in one real fight in my life and I got my ass kicked. Did I sue or press charges? No I was looking for trouble and got beat up.

Political parties aside, big brother continues to grow, and that's not cool!

Bullying is only an issue because the kids are pussies nowadays. They can't take anything, have no self esteem, feel like they have to look and act a certain way instead of being themselves. This goes back to the parents or lack there of. And then everyone is medicated because laziness is being excused as a disorder.

In regards to technology, yes, but they don't know shit about taking care of themselves, anything about history, half can't do any math without a calculator. I personally think we are going backwards. We're just getting closer to killing ourselves and have mother nature purge herself of our destructive nature.

So sig worthy if we didn't care if you got arrested

So I guess you've never bothered to use a phase switch on a sub amp and actually listen, huh? Probably love mechanical noises as well. Yummy.

Thought you were taking your time with this build? haha

Get some bracing in that box or you will keep breaking screws, and not from the Dcons but from baffle flex. The port is not acting as a brace so you have six 15's on a big double baffle surface which is no where near enough!!!!!!!! Sorry to be critical but I think it needs pointed out

Pretty crazy. Next I want cement flex.

FedEx didn't show up till 5:45, so no box build today. But, did get the h/u installed and in the 5 mins I messed around with it I am smitten. Best $80 I've spent in a while! http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Clarion-CZ401-In-Dash-CD-MP3-Car-Audio-Player-w-USB-AUX-iPod-Receiver-/350606267398?forcev4exp=true&forceRpt=true

6.5" round in a stock 5x7 hole with no adapter? Yeah, we do that...

Issue is now shipping.

Progress.

I just love seeing another mini van build. There's nothing wrong with having a good sounding stereo no matter what the vehicle is IMHO. My wife and I get some strange looks from people with our van, but we don't much care, we're enjoying it.

Box design I came up with. Skar specs call for .5-.75 per sub ported and since I'm going to be overpowering them I went on the small side. I also tune for teh lowz. .95ft^3 after displacements @ 31Hz w/13.13in^2 of port area. Subs up/port back. This is the first design, may change before I build on Tuesday. Any input/suggestions appreciated.

wow, nice!

It's been my experience as a public educator that people can, and do indeed, fail harder. Indeed, holy fuck.

PM wasn't any better than the thread. :(

It's been my experience as a public educator that people can, and do indeed, fail harder. Okay, boner answer then. Fi > Sundown I like companies that do their designs & build under their own eyes. Manufacturing when tied to engineering is helpful in not only quality control but other factors.
