Since you want to run a store, I'd concentrate on Business and/or entrepreneurial management. Get an SA or SSA in that type of field. It's good schooling to have and if you were to go to Best Buy and try to manage the car audio dept. that would look a lot better than a electronics (or the like) degree. I have a friend thats a corporate car audio schlub at best buy, he makes a good living, but he spent a lot of years in the store selling/managing/installing.

It was supposed to be a hush hush deal, but through the grape vine I hear Rockford may be in some financial problems.

Isn't the prices on them a special for pre order? I'd rather pay less now than more later. Some people I know think I'm an idiot for wanting 8's in my suburban, I'm hearing everything from 8's won't sound good in a Suburban because theres too much cabin space to 8's can't go low like a 15" Besides, if I spend the money now I'll be that much less likely to decide on cheaping out and using some of the old equipment sitting in my basement the last 8-10 years.

Spice 1 - azzhole naked Yukmouth - New Testament Deicide - Serpents of the light Drugstore Cowboys - In da wood 2 Yukmouth - Bombell To name a few.

Getting there, I better hurry up and pay.

Oil has come a long way since it became standard operating procedure to change every 3000 miles. Oil will continue to lubricate, it's the additives that begin to break down. If you do mostly highway driving and the car doesn't idle much I wouldn't hesitate to change it every 10k miles. I usually run my oil 5-6k miles depending on conditions, obviously more frequently in the winter because of the increased idling and richening of the fuel mixture in colder weather. In short, 10,000 miles is a long time to go between changes on an old "looser" motor with dino oil, but a more sophisticated, newer motor I personally wouldn't be too bothered by it. Take it for what it's worth, but I'll tell you right now I'm the proprietor of a "stealership".

lol i did the other day. it was by far the funniest stupidist thing ive ever seen...picture this 87 escort.... walled(kinda) 4 die hard batterieson the floor in the backseat....6 12inch superblues.....6 performance teknique 1500s plywood covering the air holes,,,,not ports air holes. the car had a 600$ 2 way alarm installd at a local shop by me and all the installers just walking out of the back shakin theyre heads and walkin back to the shop. the rear windows were spray paint like a chrome and je had a disco ball hanging were the dome light is. he had speaker wire and some other kind of cable to connect the batterys together. it was ghetto as hell and t answer the question....hell no it didnt sound good Well that's a pretty bad example as to the amps being junk, not that I disagree, but don't knock Superblues, they'll surprise you. Richard Clark used to defend the hell out of them back in the day.

Look into an SSA through one of the box builders for the discount on the box, just a thought.

Not exactly impressive camera work but it's a beautiful sight to see 5 old school ultra rare Sony amps.

The 63 Split Window Bickel Chassis car is when we took it to Black Sunday in St. Louis @ Gateway. The other pics are from US 41 outside of Chi Town. Nothing but street racing going on at the track there! I wish there were more tracks close by where I live but I have to tow my pile 3 1/2 hours south to Cedar Falls or 3 1/2 hours north to Brainerd. If my car met the requirements to run with Midwest Superstock Mafia I'd probably be more inclined to travel more but it's a lot of work, time and money to make $50 bracket racing a 12 second car. I like to go spectate at Byron every now and then if a friend is going to take their car out there but that's close to 6 hours from me. Minnesota sucks, it's cold, taxes are high, we have no street racing scene, no car audio scene. If my business goes under and I lose my house I'm definitely moving.

My buddy launching on a 300 pill.

What tracks were the racing pics taken at?

Not set in stone yet, but I'm planning on 4 Sundown SA-8's powered by an MB Quart DSC-2000.1, or a similarly powered Hifonics. I'm still undecided on a head unit, speakers and 4 channel amp at the moment, just reading and learning before I make a final decision although I'm pretty much sold on the SA-8's, everything else is still up in the air. I'll definitely be running a volt meter. Luckily for me I have a few months still because I'm not about to stand out in my driveway doing all this work when it's 5 degrees outside. If I search my garage long enough I can probably find enough wiring to throw my old school Shocker II in the truck for the time being, I just have to stop being so lazy.

Go to the Sundown section, I believe they're running a deal on SAZ1000D's at the moment.

Oh?

I remember about 10 years ago that name showed up seemingly out of no where, all over eBay, pawn shops, flea markets. It seems as though they disappeared as fast as they came. If history is any indicator, I'd stay away.

No you can't. You can hear harmonics of what is being excited by the sub, but definitely not 16Hz. You seem to (understandably) ride this guy pretty hard. What happened to that Minnesota nice I see advertised?

It's kind of hard to make a purchase, especially if it's going to be at least a few hundred dollars off of someones opinion. Not to say most people are stupid but I've been around a lot of "experts" and a lot of forums involving a lot of topics and it makes me wonder how some people manage to dress themselves in the morning. Does anybody actually have something to say about this based on fact? I'd really like to see the whole line of Maxxsonics monoblocks opened up and sitting side by side. I'd have to imagine the build quality is the same across the board, but I'd have to assume the main difference between similarly advertised wattages is just that, the advertised wattage.

Unlike some others I'm not one to say what a man can or can't do with his vehicle and money. I've never ran more than 1200 watts in a daily. Honestly, I was completely satisfied with many stereos with 300 watts or less. Personally I don't think I'd really ever have a need for much more than 2000 watts should I desire that much, but it's just because of the cost of upgrading to multiple batteries, expensive alternators, etc.

Hey whats up, where about do you live in Minnesota? I live in the eastern suburbs.

Hey thanks for the diagram, thats exactly how I pictured it in my head but I just didn't know for sure as I've never seen it done.

1 sheet will be more than plenty.

Aren't Hifonics ad MB Quart both Maxxsonic? I'd assume being that they're both of the same parent company the build quality would be the same and if history is any indicator wouldn't the guts of an DSC most likely be very similar if not the exact same to a similarly advertised Hifonics and for that matter Autotek and Crunch amps? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I remember back in the day when Boss released a 3000 watt mono amp and it had the same guts as the Lanzar 1200D, both those companies were owned by Sound Around or Anaba or whatever. Just making conversation.

You don't have pricing listed for 8" enclosures, I would assume they're just about the same as a 10" enclosure?

I must be blind. Thanks for the link.
