    x100 on what Duran said about the FatMat... I personally recommend SecondSkin products completely based on personal experience, if you want a great site to read up a little bit more about the different types check out Don's page over at Sound Deadener Showdown. Lovin' the sub, can't go wrong with Fi... off to a stellar start broham keep it up
  2. Holy hell man great build so far! I can't wait to see how those 10" bad boys are going to look all glassed in!
  3. Duuuuuude.... Those ID's are amazing. I was a little apprehensive at first but I sprung for them based on a few reviews, I'm glad I did. And the customer service is top notch! I managed to burn through a set of crossovers, three tweeters, and a midbass before I figured out my amp was bad (they were patient with me the entire time and only charged me for the woofer!) Can't wait to see those pods man, I'm really itchin' to get back into fiberglass again (pun intended )
  4. Had them on my old baby... much better ride quality... haha this is such an old pic don't anybody laugh My homeboy's '80 powder white Monte Carlo in the background Thanks, awesome, can't wait to see it
  5. Okie doke... Progress on the car has slowed to a crawl after investing in the 250amp MechMan alt... makes a world of difference, but now I find myself needing a new battery (plus an extra one wouldn't help). And the cheapo head unit went out, which I fully expected... only a matter of time... however, I'm running my iPod directly through a preamp/EQ back to the amplifiers so it's all good for now. Just no video. Which is what I finally managed to accomplish about a month or so ago... getting these screens mounted! Extremely time consuming! If I had to do it again I would be paying somebody! I originally had 3 15" monitors, but my dumb ass hooked one of them up bass-ackwards and let the genie right out of that monkey. Oh well, stuff happens. Mayhem ensues: Damplifying that roof baby! Looks kinda strange, but there is a method to my madness. Figured this would be the best use of what I had, placing small reinforcing pieces in the middle of each larger piece seems to work great. Overkill? Hell I don't know. It looked like a good idea Might I also add that deadening the roof makes a WORLD of difference. The only part of the car yet to be wrapped are the back doors. I have a sheet and a half left from the door pack which I'm going to give to Hugo More tomorrow
  6. Wow that is very nice. Imagine a set of Fi subs painted like that
  7. As most of you may have noticed... YouTube recently switched to a new layout which many people including myself find to be confusing and utterly ridiculous. The description is hidden by default... the rating system has gone from a sensible 5 star system to a simplistic and absurd thumbs up/down system... button layout is asinine... comment section, really, is there anything I can say about that?? Suggested videos on the right now seem to pop up by related keywords rather than related content... which means no more "surfing" YouTube getting a healthy variety of content, what you type is what it suggests... It's more than "getting to know a new layout", it's having to deal with a makeover gone horribly wrong. Like those people who go to Mexico to save a buck on a boob job or lipo, and come back horrendously disfigured? Yeah, it's kinda like that. You were pretty enough before, sweetheart. And that's my two cents. Whether you're a casual surfer or a seasoned pro submitter, drop in on the link below and add your hat to the pile. Anyone else like to share comments come visit me on YouTube channel CadillacMatt95; while I'm still around that is! *rolleyes* If you miss the old layout... please visit this page and sign the online petition with a quick note. This might not make a good gosh-a-mole to some of you, but as a YouTube regular and someone who has gleaned many professional music relationships from this site it honestly chaps my ass. Thank you and good night.
  8. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or vomit from sheer disbelief.
  9. Yes both the blue and yellow are deep-cycle batteries, meaning they are designed to withstand being repeatedly drained/re-charged without permanent damage to the battery. My Red Top is labeled as a starting battery, it's worked fine for the past few years but numerous shorts have left it dead a number of times in the past month... it's on its last leg now
  10. Probably not really applicable to a truck but... Hell, mount them bishes on the roof dude
  11. Happy Easter!!
  12. Ha you mean like this? Down here they get thrown on everything... worst I've seen them on is a Honda Civic stickin' about 8" out from the car
  13. Nice wrap job man... something I haven't quite mastered yet
  14. One of the best A hearty welcome to you
  15. CadillacMatt replied to southwow's topic in Newbie Sign IN
    Off to a great start with the equipment
  16. x1,000 on the battery man, most of us have made the cap mistake starting out... Hell, one guy in my car club was looking for a "compasiter" so I dug one up I had laying around and made a quick 10 bucks off of it No shame in my game bro-ham
  17. RIdgid makes a good decently priced router we used to use in our shop. And x2 on what Topgun mentioned about the bits... in my line of work I've witnessed two instances where the bit completely came apart and did some pretty good damage to people.
  18. Vodka, nukes, and now SPL metering equipment. Those Ruskies will stop at nothing for world domination
  19. Especially Juice Box with that constant low bass note for three and a half damn minutes lol
  20. OK so we have a few votes of confidence here, now does anyone have any foreseeable circumstances in the next few months so that we can set a date? I'm thinking May or June would be prime... definitely a Saturday or Sunday, with the weather monitored closely to ensure that nothing rains on our car audio parade
  21. Funny you should mention that man Hugo was talking about that same exact thing this past weekend
  22. Wow those Lexani's look a lot like the Akuza Reaper's I used to have Good start keep it up!
