  1. What's this I been reading about putting home audio speakers in the car? Is this a pretty nice move? Or think I should still look into the other speakers and tweeters
  2. Yea They did, and they actually sound pretty good, but I think I messed one of them up somehow, or the crossover is wacked up, I gotta check all my wiring but its so damn cold now... I am going to tackle dampening my car soon though
  3. I still gotta learn how to glass though... I wanna put some midbass in the car also =x
  4. Yea I wanted u to help me with a box for 1 15, I am not gonna put the other in untill I get another amp ... Don't worry you didn't hear anything wrong when I asked for the 1 Well I mean I know I can fit them in there with around 7.5-8 cubes net... I have just heard some ppl say "if there is to much box in the trunk the bass or air cant flow around it and it will sound crappy... or not to its potential i.e. muffled." I was wondering if this was true? I am willing to actually build A few box's to test out different cubes. I will be running a 1200D on each one. Just to let everyone know
  5. There not gonna be "In" the rear deck I ment to say "on" the rear deck, I am going to try and make a fiberglass housing for them to sit on the deck
  6. Hey guys, Just wondering if you think I may have made a mistake with the 2 15's I am trying to squeeze into my car, I have a decent amount or room to play with... but do you think I should have went with 2 12's instead? Or do you think I should just throw the power at em and let it ride... My box will be around 8 cubes. My trunk is actually around 17-18 cubes, it's just that it has a tiny opening... do you think there will still be enough room for the air to move around in it... Thx Josh
  7. Hey guys, I am looking to get some more tweeters, I want a brighter sound than what I am getting now, I would also like to get some that are very smooth. I wanna test both sides of the spectrum. Could someone give me some decend ?brands?? to look into... I also want to replace the 5x7 that are in the rear door and put some 6x9's on the rear deck, Or perhaps 6x9's in the door and some 8" in the rear deck... Anyway could you guys give me some of your thoughts on pretty decent sounding speakers that can handle some power and crank out the volume... Thx
  8. Jacob any idea on the ETA? Sorry if you have it on here somewhere I am rushed at the moment.
  9. Yea, they are the stock headlights... they do look cool though ^^ Ok geys well I was trying to put off ding this chit but I guess I will go through with it this weekend I am going to pull out the seats and the carpet and RERUN all the wires.... I wanna get some new "brighter" Tweeters and some "softer Clearer" tweeters, I would really appreciate some input on these i.e. What would be a good brand to get?? Also I wanna look into learning to do some fiberglass, I wanna put in some mid bass in the kickpanels or the door panels and put some 6x9 on the back deck... Can anyone give me tips on how to start this? I really have no idea on how it's done or fabricated Mainly some input on tweeters would be great....
  10. What are you saving to get?
  11. nice shell flying through the air... Looks like you have a razor blade in ur pocket also... Mega boosh on the boots! Looks like a BPS fleece also, and wranglers lol... Where do you live? State.
  12. Yea, I have never tryed to take seats out with air bags in the shoulders... I would be so pissed if one of them blew haha... I will try this and pray several times during I don't knopw what kind of car you have too, but most vehicles you have to let sit after disconnecting the battery for 15 seconds to a couple of hours afterwards to let the battery backup in the air bag module discharge. If not, it can possible still discharge and set off the air bags. Think I should just disconnect it for a whole day? It is a 08 Mazda6 According to the service manual on yours, Wait one minute or more before doing anything to it after disconnecting the battery. Another thing to remember is htat on the newer one there are wieght sensors in the seats now. DO NOT REMOVE THE SEAT FROM THE RISER IF YOUR CAR HAS RISERS ON THE SEAT!! If you do, you will have to buy new sensors, which are usually around $50 to $100 each and take four of them on average. Plus then you'll have to take it to the dealer and have them re-calibrated which can take a couple of hours to do. The sensors, once un-torqued from their positions, are not re-useable. Just be caqreful with it. Other than that, have fun .... Yea that sounds like a load of fun..... Are riser's the brackets they are on?

    Yea and when they vent, it's amazing... LoL I remember when lithiums first started coming around in some applications... I'm sure they have been out longer than I knew of them though... They have come a long way, very nice!
  16. Hey guys, I wanna take all my seats out when it gets warmer. The only thing I am cautious about is that my front seats have airbags in them... Is it ok to take these seats out? Do I just need to unconnect the wiring and be carefull doing it? Thx Josh~

    Hey guys, I would love to get into competing one day, and I have a question for you audio ethusiats. I have a few old "spare" vehicles around my house.... 2 trucks,and a van. One is single cab other is extended. Not my question is, which would you chose to work on. The van, or one of the trucks with a blowthrough. I would be interesed in which you think would have the most potential.. Thankx Probably SQ class... Maybe some SPL Comp... I dunno yet. Thx Josh P.S. could someone give me the pro's and cons of each in their on opinions "IF" you have done this before.
  19. JoshM20 replied to Travo-18's topic in Fi Products
    Exactly, That is the style we wear around here to!! Also a clean white beater and some icey whites... That's a fit!

  21. I would think so too... He could always do that and just drop the armrest to let more air flow through the car. But I'm not sure if that would make it louder or not =/
  22. Yea you may want to get fisher or someone, design a box cut out sheet and take the dimensions to the "box builder". I have never seen some one, that claims to be a box builder, that actually knows what they are doing, want to put 6-7 ports in a box... Not saying that he can't build one, or that you can't, I just think if you are gonna get a great amp, and awesome subs... why put them in a sub-par box? Do it right the first time. Also... what if he just makes a single port tuned to 32 Hz to fit in the rear arm rest dimensions... wouldn't it be similar to a "blow through" ?
  23. What an evil machine~! designed by lucifer himself~
  24. LoL, I wen't out and bought another camera today to shoot the pics and I need it for class. Soon as I get back to the house I ran across my other one. LoL, Yea I will get the pics up asap... just getting cold as hell around here. I am a southern country boy... I don't like the cold, and since my wreck I can feel it in my bones LoL. I got a video of the 10's in a sealed box... but it just sounds like fartin when the bass hits... I AM A try my other camera.. I am waiting on my box to come from BJ so it may be a while on the 15's but I will be making another amp rack for the car when I get it... I hope I can fit the 15's in there with out having to comprimise the box size... I may end up with 2 12's later down the road for comparison. Any advice on the video?
