  1. i couldn't have said it better bro. very well put. that is all. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  2. don't need the wheee.....lol...maybe the middle finger....nah.. jsut the profile of either the car or sub and the additional text bro. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  3. cute lil thing isn't it?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  4. cbfryman and of course steve, aka chevy350tpi... both excellent buyers! don't hesitate with these two! btw, you both have pm's on the way! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  5. but what about "wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee "? i'm sure we could get my little bro on my shirt!!! but steve, the sub idea or the outline of the car (i suggested the car becuz that's what's on the home page. figured that it was kinda the SSA logo) would be sweet. there ya have it elias. either the sub or car outlined, and "the baddest forum in all the land" on the back. hopefully won't add to much. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  6. but jim is right and if the new xxx is on the list, then i say get a pair of solo x 18's. build 7-8 cubes for each tuned about 25hz, throw 3-4000wrms at each one and pray your truck doesn't fall apart. and don't think they won't sound decent, they will. xxx quality? no, but no xxx will keep up on the output end either IMO. 18's FTW!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  7. i'm in...but i definitely think something needs to be on the back. what about an outline of the ferrari on the home page with the text "the baddest forum in all the land" or however it's worded? i think that would be cool. anyway, lemme know when you need the money..and i'll need a 2xl. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  8. wow, haven't seen one of those in awhile. nice find ryan..is a 5.0ltr tranny from a t-bird the same internally as one from a mustang gt? my b-i-l stang broke not only 3rd gear, but hte mainshaft as well. teh rebuild kit he bought for a 5.0stang won't fit in the tranny he has, which is supposed to be oughta a t-bird. what gives? i think they just got the wrong kit, but i'm no ford expert. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  9. looks real nice! good job dennis! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  10. HA HA! That reminds me of an MTX 9500 versus JL W7 ad. Totally misleading. Too bad the big dog has been whooped in sales for 25+ years straight. That'll change though. Toyota just keeps growing. true, true....but even that can be misleading. maybe it's because chevy owners love their vehicles and don't have to trade them in every 6 months to keep them running? can't say that about toyota, but then again, toyota has always been japan's answer to chevy. muhahahahaha ford boy! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  11. the white MB prawns the chit out of the H2 piece of chit the truth is, the H2 is a fairly capable vehicle. alot more so then it's tahoe/yukon brethern upon which it is based. while not as capable as the 'mog, among soccer mom suv's, it is the king. range rover's highend stuff and teh big lexus are it's only true competition. and they are the queens, due to the fact they look like every other suv on the planet. wiat, can't forget the porshe or volkswagon. the vw will probably be the new king. the TD powerplant is badass. way better then the turbo gas motor of the porshe. TD torque FTW!!! as to the mog, the H1 owns it. no other vehicle on the plant can tranverse hills the way the H1 does. or the steepness. and with the, (crap, i forget what they are called) gear reduction axles, independent of each other, the H1 is truely a torque monster has well. with the duramax in one, wow!! but i will take NOTHING away from the mog. it's one badass piece of machinery. i'd own one in a minute, second only to the H1 Alpha. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  12. but that would imply that some work be done. not just some simple sealed, rectangular enclosure. and here in america, that just can't be thought of. only the easy way out please. but your right. a little fiberglass and blam! totally cool, custom install! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  13. x2. but only if proper airspace can be achieved. in a standard cab silverado, a pair of ported tens is usually the way to go. but since you already have the 12's and mike isn't makeing rl-p 10's....... i'm a chevy guy, but this is where dodge boys own us. we've actually put a pair of 15's sealed behind the seat of a standard cab dodge. if only we had that room... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  14. we just did a toyota highlander with that crap. pulled everything out. put boston acoustics up front, memphis in the rear doors and memphis for the sub stage (sealed of course). used an infinty reference 4 channel for the highs and a memphis m class for the subs. night and day difference. only thing left factory was the head unit/touch screen/dvd/ navigation thing. best factory system i've heard to date? the harmon kardon (spl?) system in a mini cooper. it rocked! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  15. for a typical "custom" box, ie: one built to fit the car and sub specs, runs $100 for sealed and $150 for ported at the shop. that includes carpet. this includes wedge boxes and rectangular boxes, all mdf. some will be 1/2", some will be 3/4", depending upon application. those are the prices i use when i build for people, except those would be a two sub box. single sub, i drop each one down about $25. the truth of the matter is, it's your labor. if the person won't/ can't build their own enclosure, then they need to pay for it. simple economics. i don't see/ feel like the prices i listed are too much, especially when you consider the quality of the enclosure. if people feel your charging too much, then they can go elsewhere. my time is valuable, as is my skill. if they don't want to pay for it, cool, someone else will. and in most cases, i'd wager that someone will end up with a better product then the one who won't pay. but that's just me. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  16. what new truck? i missed something..lol.. l8rs ryan wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  17. i'd still wager that if you run the 6-700wrms port noise will be minimal, if at all existant with the 4" aero (especially if it's f;ared on both ends). run full power and then i'd suggest a second 4". wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  18. T.O.P. yep, that spells top! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  19. What size enclosure and power? Lower power, you'll be fine. I was thinking 2ft^3 gross and prob 6-700W. You'll need more vent area. bah....one twelve, one 4" aeroport. unless he goes mucho power, i'd bet he'll be fine. unless he listens to the port right next to his head..... yada,yada,yada wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  20. lol at elias....i didn't think my 3434 was all that hard to figure out. steve, you will have package on the way tomorrow!! justin....i can see the vids just fine. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  21. mrray13 replied to Tirefryr's topic in Photography
    nope, not yet, but it's worth a shot. and a ported single 8 should be plenty of loud..lol but i wonder if a 12 sealed would work in the tailgate. the only issue would be the added weight on the struts that keep the gate open. but i shall look. let me know if you do it first..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  22. that would be $20k well spent! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  23. i understand what you are saying with the first statement, but that is what the specs of the amp shows, its an audiobahn so....... lastly, i read on some guys reveiw of a sub that he had his system wired at some shop and when he looked at it, it was wired to 4 ohms. so he re-wired it to 2 ohms and it hit a lot harder.........i dont think they guy knows what he was talking about.........but is that even possible? also, does wiring subs to 2 ohms cause for more of a draw on your battery and stuff, compared to 4 ohms? like make your headlights flash more and stuff? basiclly what i'm saying is this.... if an amp is rated 200 wrms x 2 @ 2ohm, and 400wrms x1 @ 4ohm..you will be getting the exact same power outa the amp. 200+ 200 = 400. when you take a two channel amp and bridge it, you combine both channels to make one channel. when you do this, you have to add the rated impedence of both channels together, 2 ohm stereo stable means 4 ohm mono stable. as to the review, that all depends upon what amp he had. if he had a mono block amp that was 2 ohm stable and the shop at it wired to be getting 4 ohm, then yeah, what he said would be true as he is now getting full power out of the amp. in most cases 400wrms @ 4ohm is better on your car then 400wrms @ 2ohm. it takes less current to create the same power. but it's amp dependant. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  24. if showcar shows up thursday like he said, and hopefully he's in his imp ss, i'll snap some pics of his wheels. they tuck nicely (i believe 19" upfront, 20" in the rear) and the rears carry huge meats..like 305's. it is the sweetness!! i will do my best! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
  25. steveo..i'll do my best bro!! elias..i think so..lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
