  1. TAKE A BREAK!
  2. Unless you are planning on running something at relatively low current draw AH is a pretty useless spec for us in car audio. You should really look at cranking amps, which shows you how much current can be drawn over a 30 second period reaching 9-10 volts (IIRC). You could pick up 4 of the prismatic cells from EvWest and wire them in series for a total of 14.4v nominal and around 1000a for 10 second maximum. If you were to look at a similarly spec'd AGM they are capable of much more current. The main benefit of Lithium is charge time and weight, they are significantly down on output current as they are very temperamental.
  3. Take a picture of the mounting, with a little modification in most vehicles you can easily fit a group 31.
  4. I have heard but not confirmed that they are made by Incriminator with some parts from DC.
  5. the new kindle lineup looks very promising!
  6. I picked up a pair of SilverFlutes for around 40 bucks + shipping and I am very happy with them paired with my MiniDSP and horns.
  7. I was wrong, it's actually kenwood. http://www.kenwood.com/usa/car/excelon/dnn992/ EXXSPENSIVE!
  8. One of the brand new pioneer head unit runs android. It's pretty slow and the unit it's self is like 1k
  9. I have a friend I used to work with and he runs 8 junkyard alternators on his old truck. It's ugly as hell but it does work.
  10. TYPICALLY subwoofers with higher motor force tend to do better in 6th orders and subwoofers with lower motor force tend to work better in 4th order bandpass boxes.
  11. What carriers do they use? Its unlocked https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-g
  12. I can say with a good amount of confidence that the Q is not best choice for a 6th order bandpass. Also unless you plan on giving up a TON of space for a 6th order bandpass for an 18, I wouldn't do it. my 6th order Zcon wall with 4 15's is almost 50 cubes.
  13. If you're on a budget the Moto G is a pretty nice phone for the price ~180 and is probably the best budget friendly unlocked phone out there. If you wanted used, try looking on Swappa.com I've bought 4-5 phones on there with great luck and at great prices.
  14. Honestly I've been very unimpressed with the Camaro, IMO the new Mustang body and style just kills the camaro's looks. The interior is a bit better in the Camaro but I don't think it looks as good as the mustang interior.. if that makes sense. If I was going to buy a new high performance american car it would be a toss up between the new Mustang and the Corvette.
  15. I'm pretty lazy but I've just been using a good thick layer of plastidip and it seems that it works pretty well.
  16. If you do vinegar + dawn dish soap it works fairly well, but the best results I've had were from CLR.
  17. I had a meter which batteries were nearly dead and it would read extremely off.

    It was running fine and I had to idle down to get off the tractor to open a gate. When I throttled back up and engaged the pto that's when it started happening. I have a carb kit coming and will pull it apart all the way and make sure everything it working freely. It appears that the spring has broken or lost all its tension. It looks like I need a new carb because you can't take it apart. Does the choke move freely, does it bind at any point?
  19. Julian replied to pmureika's topic in Off Topic
    I worked as a mechanic for a landscaping company and we had this come up a few times where someone adjusted the idle/choke causing it to billow with smoke. I would also check the choke just to be sure. Make sure the choke opens all the way and the choke plate is not partially closed (even just a little) or it can get sucked closed. The choke on these engines has a spring and can be adjusted to different settings, underneath the plastic spring housing is a guide that runs on a small pin in the top of the carburetor. Dirt can accumulate in this guide and keep the choke from opening completely. If the choke plate will not open all the way, this will need to be cleaned
  20. are we talking "supplements" or supplements? Lol
  21. When am I going to become an employee?
  22. Looks great but I hope you used tempered glass for the glass above your battery.
