  1. Some headers can lead to issues on some vehicles. I have seen this happen a couple times. Once a set kept burning up an O2 sensor, the next would cause unburned fuel to puddle in the collector and eventually drip into the cat clogging it over tim.
  2. You need to use a tone, set your meter to AC voltage, run the tone, connect the + probe to the center electrode, the - to the RCA shield or outer electrode, and measure. This won't tell you if it's clipping though. You need and o-scope for that.
  3. Signal is still voltage and current. A poor connection could cause a voltage drop across the RCAs and cause level matching issues, but this is highly unlikely unless they are damaged or just cheap as shit.
  4. Copper is copper. Given it's a normal name brand product, you really can't get bad wire. It's usually the cheaper no-name brands that suck. The power cable used as speaker cable should be fine. For RCAs, take you pick of the mainstream companies, or products available online like KnuConceptz. Try Darvex.com for some good prices, or look on the store here, but I don't know is SSA is selling anything aside from power cable yet. Why do you think you have a clipping issue? Switching cables is NOT going to cure that BTW.
  5. Better heads They were back then, but the entire engine is a different beast from the Windsors. Indeed, the Cleveland is a much different beast, the 351 is huge and has the potential to make some real serious power. They are nearly impossible to find now at decent prices. They're a dime a dozen around here. I'd still take a Windsor any day. If you had to take a stock 70's Windsor or Stock Cleveland you wouldn't, but of course that is an idiotic requirement Boss 302. Windsor block, Cleveland head, factory fun, but yes, stock for stock, Cleveland is the winner. Hell, even the later year Windsors never made the torque of the Cleveland and even the factory GT-40 heads on the Windsor couldn't compare to the flow potential of the 4V Cleveland heads.
  6. Not gonna happen with that application unless you use a vented aperiodic membrane/IB or glass an enclosure into your footwell.

  9. 1 word, Liability.
  10. I saw a program years ago on car thieves and one of the things that draws them in is window tint. Ironically, every car I ever had tinted windows on was broken into. They do have cameras, but they have one or two people manning them and they are trained to stay on the shoplifters. Add to that, they will not allow you to view their footage unless you have a court subpoena and you won't get that for some audio equipment.
  11. Jaime, was it you that got a job at Norfolk Southern?
  12. That's great!
  13. I don't know that I'd consider it old school. AB didn't start until 1999.
  14. That would be epic, banning his cousin lol. Hear both sides first not just the deyoungs. If you have problems with each other, keep it off the forums. If it escalates to a level needing attention, we will take care of it, no matter who needs to go or be reprimanded, paying member or not. This isn't Jerry Springer.
  15. Your cousin or what not? You know we can easily take care of that.
  16. Their older gear from about 10 years ago is not too bad. Then again, when Audiboahn first came around they made decent gear.
  17. Poor guy.
  18. What are they? I can see they're Chinese, but what?
  19. Sweet!
  20. Enjoy!
  21. You're right. If you were close, I'd come punch you in the face, but it IS your car, so have fun! Just do me a favor and put some subframe connectors on there before you stuff all that weight on the rear subframe. You're just asking for trouble and will soon find you t-tops and window don't seal, and your doors won't open or close, not to mention the safety factor. Expedia.com Talk is cheap...so are plane tickets. come by anytime. But really, the car already has subframe connecters, full suspension (rear shocks need replaced and plan to before closing up the back) Im not a dummy when it comes to cars. i have had several fast ones and this will be no different. it wont handle like an ss camaro but will be just as fast. i have plans to address the extra weight. Thank God! I cringe when I see some people and the weight they add with no consideration to the structural integrity. Sounds like you've got your bases covered

  23. Hey! I see you on F150 online all the time!
  24. Press "Play" and walk away. I had to do a power point presentation in computer class a few years back, as a joke, I typed in everything I was going to say for each slide into a computer generated voice, saved the mp3 files and attached to each slide. Game day came, I walked up, started it, then just walked out and got a drink of water, came back with a big grin on my face, teacher didn't have a good sense of humor. Aidan doesn't get to watch tv. Plus its fucking gorgeous outside. All the shit on tv now for kids seems like such a steaming pile of shit. Rots the mind I tell you. Now I'm off to work.... yay. I let Gavin watch racing, baseball, SportsCenter, and the shows on public access. Those shows are actually educational. When he's with his mom, he watches stupid ass Spongebob, and iCarly, and Victorious gay shit since that's what she feeds her 8 year old to shut her up.
  25. So buy a fucking amp already!
