  1. WTF? No more Mean Gene or Super Dave?!!!
  2. Well, 40 doesn't feel any different from 39, but it does roll off the tongue in a peculiar way.
  3. Thanks Matt!
  4. I had to go to the allergist today too. They poked me again, and I've "grown" some new allergies. Apparently I'm no longer allergic to eggs though. They're smell still invokes vomit from me though.
  5. Good to hear. I've never encountered one with polarity.
  6. I'm home. Respiratory and circulatory system are all great. Apparently it's just my GI issues. I have to schedule an endoscopy. Yay.
  7. So, I've been sitting in the hospital for two days now with chest pains, and the doctors have yet to talk to me. Kinda freaking out here!
  8. Alright, here's the beautiful job on the Stang.
  9. I'd love to, but not to work on that turd!
  10. That's okay though because I'm just going to beat the shit out of it.
  11. Yeah, it's pretty bad.
  12. I'll post some pics of my Mustang tomorrow. You'll shit when you see the "paint."
  13. Cheap bastard!
  14. That car looks oddly Japanese and Korean. . . . . And Doug Demuro is a total tool.
  15. . . . . And the Audio Control takes this one step further. IT was designed as a solution to problem. You need a low(er) voltage signal for your amplifier input, so the LOC is instaled. Every accessory (amp, crossover, processor, etc.) needs a signal (remote) to turn it on. The Audio Control has the ability to create this signal. It allows you to run a wire from the unit itself in case your factory headunit does not have a remote wire to switch the accessories on. It's just used for simplicity. Most people will mount the LOC in a trunk or hatch close to the amp, so it's just as simple to run a short piece of wire from the REMOTE OUT of the LOC into the REMOTE IN on the amp, and BOOM, you have all the control you need without a need for finding a switched lead in the car, installing a relay, and running extra wire.
  16. UGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! They couldn't wait 2 months. Dammit! https://southbend.craigslist.org/cto/d/laotto-for-saleford-galaxie-xl/6778241645.html
  17. I tell you what, the adhesive repair is actually stronger than spot welding. It creates a molecular bond along the entire seam versus just spot welding and seam sealing. MUCH better. Ask any quality body man. Those W-body rockers are a MFer!
  18. Each piece of equipment will have a positive run that comes from the battery, straight to the + side terminal. There will be a ground that gets connected to the steel chassis, or directly back to the battery. For the remote, this is a 12V trigger lead. Basically, it's a voltage controlled switch that normally comes from the headunit. When the unit comes on, it sends 12V down this wire into the equipment. This is what tells it to turn on. The amp and LOC will require this. That particular LOC though has circuitry that enables it to sense voltage through the speaker wires that are used as a signal source for the input to the LOC. These circuits are sometimes temperamental, so that means sometimes remote line is needed for input to assure the LOC turns on and off as it should. Now this unit also provides an remote output switch as well. The ONLY wire(s) that will go to the battery are the 12V positive inputs. The remote should come from the headunit if possible. If not, he will have to install a relay and wire it up to a circuit that comes on and goes off with the ignition.
  19. Merry Christmas y'all!
  20. LOL! I'm roasting a turkey, ham, and some polish sausage with some noodles and green beans. Fuck all that bullshit!
  21. I think that's CHEAP. I'd charge at least $120/ hr for my labor. As for the LOC, it's not difficult at all. He's just letting you know it may take a little more if the voltage sensor does not work properly. I have yet to see a sensor in the home or 12V side that functions properly every time. Either the electronics are too sensitive or not enough and you either have a unit that never shuts off, never turns on, or just flops all over. Honestly, I'd talk to him and tell him you'd just like to have him run a switched lead to a relay to control the Audio Control and then use the remote out feature of it to turn the amp on. This gives you a 12V switch you need and allows for timed on/off to eliminate any potential interference or voltage fluctuations.
  22. Congrats man! Merry Christmas!
  23. I like the way this guy thinks!
  24. Are the tone rings the same? Just something to check. I've seen them fucked up before.
