welcome. IAK

wow, i have a update for this, like really, wtf! okay so i do some snow removal and salt application on the side, currently laid off, (well since aug. ,but who's counting), Ironwork just is dead right now. any way, i rely on my ol' dakota to cover the basics, the snow removal is sidewalks, good ol' hand shovel. so, like snow shovels, salt spreaders, ice melt, and lots of coffee. off to work we go. well not monday morning. received a late call out, 4:50 am, and we usually do like 1 or 2 am, so it was a hurry up and get there thing. fired up the dakota, went inside, came back out........... still solid ice on window.....no heat! went back in, thinking oh shit, here we go. went back out in a few, definetly no heat and steam shooting out of radiator! so after a long look, the radiator is busted open and the heater core is a no go, dead. so called boss man, "sorry no chop today" uh, so let's see, started looking for some parts and cash to fix this issue, i hate heater cores. some where throught the day, we were at moms house, don't recall why off hand. upoun us leavinf out the door, mom said " here take your tuperware bowl with you" so i said to Gina( wifey) " i'll be out in a sec" here is the shit now..... so, i get ready to head out the door and Gina is laying face down at the bottom of the stairs , not moving!!!!!!! "OH SHIT" i ran to her scared shitless, and yelled at her " Gina!, are you okay!?" she rolled half way over and began to cry, totally unaware of where she was. she had passed out and fell to the concrete. i helped her up and dusted her off, her knee was bloody and busted up, road rash style, and her finger was swollen and hurt.... i took her to the er, which was packed, like beds in the hall ways packed! they finally got her a room after 4 hours. they did xrays, the finger was broken....they done several test, to find she is becoming anemic, not enough iron and hemoglobin in her blood to get oxygen to the brain. so they nursed her knee up some, tapped her fingers, told me go buy a splint, it will be faster. wow. kept her on a iv for a while and sent us home, 9 hours later.... oh, there is more....... some how, when she fell, our money, like the rest of our check, all we had, yeah, it fell out of her pocket! i looked everywhere, i even took some paper and threw it down, to see if it would blow somewhere the same..... idk , seemed like a good idea at the time. looked and looked, nothing, gone, all of it. so, for Mondays out look, * truck shit out two costly parts. * lost much needed hours from work. * my best friend (wifey) got seriously hurt. * spent 9 hours at the er. * lost almost our whole check. * due to the events of Monday, repairing the dakota in time for thursdays snow event is off. not sure how i will wing it, but i gotta be able to work it, might have to strip out the family mini van and trash it, that will suck. but need the hours more now. ......................... wow, just got a call out.....so , now wtf... gotta go, stay tuned, lol chop

So, like, I had this goal set.... then pow.... things has been crazy, but i am back for a minute now. lets see, * IAK Christmas party..... failed, gotta get at least one quick meet in before Feb. so we can organize fo Carl Casper. * Purchase of two batteries for truck, one under hood and one in cab.....both on hold ...ftl * replacement hu for the replacement hu i was currently using, well it was stolen and the one i have, it burnt out! * no work forever, then 63 hours in 5 days, 21 straight one day, wow < why am i tired? * stomach virus...... well hell yeah let me get some of that.... puked and puked until i seen my testical come out of my mouth! * oh, stomach virus...... hey spread the wealth, whole family passed it around, 5 days of 7 people shitting and puking in 1600 sqft. house..... that spells happy holidays. * low funds and extended hours created a need for cash, pawned my sub....FTL. * cordless drill found at bottom of the stairs DOA...... now that sucked like very bad, i liked that dam thing.... it was cracked ever so neatly, completly in half, just the little electrical guts holding it together. * had to witness a story of a certain co-worker that shit himself while riding in another co-worker's truck............. now that is ackward. ---- i asked the "driver" what did you say? lol of coarse, and he looked at me and said " Chop! when a 6'-4" , 375 lb. man shits himself , what are you suppose to say????" he went on to add, " i said nothing, I looked straight ahead and drove him back to the gas station." i know, i know......TMI !!! so that in short is what i had going on..... i think if all goes well i can fix most of this by the following weekend.

My defrosters - fan setting on high.............................FTL i need my sub back!

HELLO, HOW ARE YOU DOING? Oh, wait, guess i ain't gotta yell like mom does everytime she is talking on a long distance call, lol too cool, Norway huh, ? let's see some audio install pics and equipment from out that way! Welcome Chop IAK

bro, you got some reading to do, alot of it. True and this is coming from someone who also has a ton of reading to do. you ain't a kidding bro, i have read so much that i got to re-read it, in order to form a better understanding of what i had just read..... I so wish there was a actual school here in IN. , I would be there! I am currently bouncing from t-line enclosures to electrical systems, back and forth..... chop Chop, pick up this book. http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=500-035&source=googleps It will simply amaze you. dude, i just pm'ed five asking if there is a good starting point, lol.... i will get on that then, i have seen this mentioned before, just did not know what all it contained. i will see if Santa will bring it to me! thanks alot, chop

You need to make a compromise and either decide on Xcons or BTLs then decide what amp you want but if you want to spend the money then by all means get it for the Xcons. You will have to watch your gains, control the volume knob wisely, be able to look/hear/smell signs of stress on the woofers. If you dont know how to do this or not comfortable doing this then dont do it. Just my .02 Besides that your gonna need way more electrical upgrades also if you want to run the 4500D which is more money for watts you wont be using also. would one ho alt and one kinetic battery under hood and one in the back be good enough? this is the right direction, yes, in addition to these things keep in mind that you will need the upgraded wiring , ring terminals, and fuseing, too. it will effect your cost quite a bit and should not be dismissed from the math of thinngs. I personally have heard both, a couple of different installs, and the Xcon was better in both installs, alot depends on how it will be installed.... but my preferance would be the xcon. I like the idea of having some head room, but then again, I am no where near that level where you are intending on being. chop

bro, you got some reading to do, alot of it. there will be a day when you look back on this thread and find it golden. currently, just spend alot of time looking into the many sources of info out there.... the db's are topping out at 180+ ??? something , which is severly stupid loud, like medically treacherous..... like it will hurt you. i would not want to be around anything louder.... they often compare it to a space shuttle blasting off! power wise, there is quite the technology to provide a crap load of power, as long as you have a crap load of cash. the science, it is huge, but you are on track sort of.... alot of space, alot of power, and alot of cone area...... and some concrete and steel!!! chop

I already know!!!

hey i already voted pal...lol

i think chuck is going in this basic direction on the next box for the SA-8's. I got another i am going to draft up and we also have a few desicions to make on manipulating a few interior panels in his ride for some extended room.
