Welcome to the IHoP
ummm, no? i remember thinking it had anti locks, turn right and grab brakes....it did neither. meaning turn or stop, lol. that's a fairly large area, i thought i could just do a quick 180 or so and be on my way. boy, was i wrong! and it was early evening, no rain, so no really wet grass, maybe damp. but tires on the car are < 3 months old, brakes ~ 1 month. hell, i don't know. the whole thing is just flat weird. and to top it off, the last two days i've developed a pain between my shoulder blades, centered off to the left. sends a stab of pain up my neck whenever i turn my head to the left. and i can't sleep worth a crap. so i get to call my chief today and see what he wants me to do. yay for me. thanks for the concern tom. like previously mentioned, i was way lucky. did i mention that that was the only time that day i didn't have a seatbelt on? yeah...talk about timing. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee What the heck, that timing was awful I hope the pain is nothing serious. doctor tomorrow at 10:15. hopefully it's nothing. pain isn't serious, on a scale of 10, it's about a 4 when i turn my head and about a 2 when i'm doing nothing. more of a nuicance then anything right now. but i don't want it to get worse. yeah...worse timing ever, lol. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
burton..i honestly don't know how fast i was going went i wnt into the creek..i'm guessing more then 50, less then 70... sorry sean, no pics taken of me,lol...and the chin is healed now. teh inside, my playback, was freaky. that moment of there is nothing i can do to make this stop and that moment of you know it's going to hurt, and a whole bunch of slamming around. and yeah, the car might have been malfunctioning, dunno. brakes were definitely bad, the esp (traction control) is very invasive and unpredictable. it even tries to work going to through corners, and that might be what set the whole thing off. the car felt weird, like i was losing it without losing it. it didn't react right and then it reacted...of course i could just be a crappy driver, lol. and yeah, it could have gone way worse then it did...i am waaaaay lucky. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
that's where i "parked" the charger, looking down off the bridge.... pulling it out. gives you an idea of how far down i flew. it's wings sucked. i missed this, i was in the hospital. almost out....looks like it's got a booger or two... and it's out. it doesn't have a chin anymore and i poked an eye out. the inside is as bad..i broke the sterring wheel and it's shaft. i also broke the dash mounted gear shift. i had a steering wheel tread mark on my chin the next day, it's gone now though.... i know, the pics suck, but they are cell phone, whatcha want me to do?? lol wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP

Welcome to the IHoP
for those that asked....i'm fine. will go back to wrok wednesday, had to miss just a couple of days. dunno why the airbags didn't deploy, thinking about getting a lawyer. brakes were shit too, and they were less then a month old. car shook like hell at the top of the hill (when i really slowed down), and according to a witness, fishtailed (hence me saying it stepped out) just before i launched the car. and nope, because i responding to a call that required me to run above the speed limit and code (lights/siren), i am in no trouble at all. those accidents happen and are forgiveable. and we all hated the charger anyway, lol. and no, i didn't yell out yahoo as i launched, lol. i'm no duke of hazzard, though i tried. i do feel a bit like roscoe though...... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
now this I have to hear long story short....i was responding to a fight call, the rear of the car stepped out, i overcorrected,(i think that's what happened) and at about 50mph (slowed down from about 90) i launched the charger about 15 ft down into a creek. it didn't swim very well, i got a concussion. no airbags deployed..and the charger has no front end. i've got cell phone pics that i'll eventually gt uploaded. and that's the just of the story, lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
X2. I'm still catching up Your going to be here a while, me and Duran really tore it up tonight. :bigclap: We decided when it was on page 14,990 that we wanted 15,000 pages by the end of the night. I'm just glad to be rid of that damned flood control. It's some Next time you N00BS whore up the forum post in your first posts if not, the posts are going bye-bye... It's annoying to sift through 10 pages of whoring. and just 10 pages? that's weak....real weak. damn, i guess one of these nights us "old timers" should really whore it up. watch this bitch grow by a few hundred pages. and remember kiddies...in the first whore post, edit it to read where the whoring ends...ie: SKIP to page XXXXXX and when finished, edit the last post to read where the whoring started, ie: USELESS posts started on page XXXXXXX....that way when we do catch up, we can skip to actual conversation. and noone will ever bitch about your whoring that way. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Fi Q or Memphis Mojo 15"s
sealed and mojo shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence. and mojo shouldn't be considered for anything remotely sounding good. also, best spl and sealed don't go together. you might want to look into a single ported 15 vs two sealed ones, otherwise, of your two options, grab the Qs. 155+ on music is a definition of loud? most people won't/can't/ are smart enough to NOT sit in a vehicle doing 155+. that is INSTANT hearing damage. and just plain stupid. a good loud DD would be high 30's, low 40's, and even that is loud enough to hurt one ears. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

memphis mojo's
mojos aren't bad subs. can get very loud, but aren't all that efficient. they will eat some power, and most of the time will take some serious abuse. a good spl sub if one wants mainstreme brand name. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

kicker subs??
as mentioned above, box is going to determind alot, that said... i loved my cvx15. while box specs escape me at this point, IIRC it was a kicker recommended size, mine was powered by ~750wrms in a trailblazer. it was indeed loud and low. getting high 30's legal off a factory headunit, the sub did it's best with a subpar install. are there compareable subs? absolutely. most will probably sound better as the cvx is definitely geared towards output. the offerings from this very board, soundsplinter, fi, SSA, sundown and mach5, should all be looked at while looking at the cvx. they'll all have something that'll run with or exceed the cvx, all else being equal. and install is the main thing. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

RL-i10 vs FI SSD 10 vs Re Se 10
i love the rl-i, i've given my 8" version 1700wrms, although it hated it. small and sealed enclosures it works very well in. the kicker sub is way more at home in a ported box. will work in a sealed one, but don't like them, unless they are of the larger variety. the ssd has proven iteself among the internet crowd. i have no experience with them, so no real useful info. the only re product i've played with was an xbl^2 xxx, and i like my soundsplinter rl-p better. not saying re is a bad product, but from experience, there is better out there for the money. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
i've had several lifted trucks through my life, and all my chevys were the best. my 86 with 16" of spring lift and 38" gumbo monster mudders was a beast, and i could drive all day with no hands. my 88 ranger with 9" of lift and 33" tires however, lol, i couldn't sink enough money in that truck to make it run/drive right. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Your Ranger was a Mazda though wouldn't that make it better?? lmao....to be honest, the lift was fine on the truck. it even had a strong rear axle, 8.8, however the front dana 28 was junk, as was the 2.8ltr v6. a 289 was destined to take it's place, but i just flat ran out of money trying to fix that thing. one cool feature was it had dual tanks. never seen dual tanks on a little truck before that. oh well, maybe one day my new truck will get an altitude adjustment. though at current income levels, i doubt it. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Welcome to the IHoP
you'd lose. i've yet to lose to a dodge truck with one of my chevy's, even against the vaunted "hemi". and your 5.9ltr isn't all that, my 01 ram was a dog, my 00, 04 and 08 silverados would kill it. and get better mpg doing it, lol... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I know most Chevy's would get it. My transmission would fall out half way down the track. lol, no truer words have you spoke, lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
