    Me too! That is a pretty good indicator of some kind of hyper/overly active dissorder. Did you drink a truck load of Mtn Dew a day when you were younger. I sure pounded it. And for the record, I feel it's not hyper dissorder, just a matter of being under stimulated. 12 pack a day
  2. It is a waste of 15 bucks. Tons of way cheaper things could have fixed the rattles, not at all what deadener is for.

    Amusingly, just finished eating some leftover spaghetti alla gricia. Yummy. I LOVE homemade noodles.
  4. MDF is glue and powder. Getting it "wet" doesn't do anything but make it more brittle. Resin on its own has no strength anyways as it is all in the glass fibers. And it also isn't to increase strength.

    what song?
  6. Nice write up! We discussed that, but it isn't possible to do without some very expensive equipment. And realistically if the copper content is high, the diameter is right, and it is flexible the power testing isn't what I'd use to make my decision anyways.
  7. They do. Size of the woofer has nothing to do with tuning.
  8. Before buying an alternator just watch your voltage. It may/may not be necessary. You will be stressing your charging system pretty extreme, but you should make the decision on a voltage drop not a I think I need.

    Caffeine is not a stimulant to me. Usually puts me to sleep, I love an espresso before bed

    Of course, conference call I "Get" to lead starts in 10 minutes and I am crashing hard
  11. Saying your grounds aren't so hot. Start with the h/u ground as it is usually the culprit.
  12. Perhaps rather pertinent information lol. You do realize that you hadn't even stated what year three yet which doesn't let me know those are there. I really don't like 4" drivers off axis so much, but everything is a compromise.

    im not familiar with many tweeters, but he prefers soft dome. so we're looking at like 200 shipped for the mids alone, still worth it versus a cheaper midbass and fullrange combo? im a little concerned with the $1k budget. hu 200 amps 100 deadening 100? have to email sds yet (this is where im surprised at costs) wiring/all install shit - total- 250 hu harness + dash kit 20 ipod 15 power/gnd wire 55 rca + speaker wire 25 mdf + wood glue 40 fg + bondo cheap shit 30 voltage meter 25 distro block + inline fuse 15 carpeting + spray paint 25 350 left for subs and speakers could i get another 100 - 150 bucks out of him, sure but where should i invest it? he really likes the icon, out what i've showed him. knowing my brother he would spend more to get the sub that looks nicer. The problem you have is the pods are built, but not for anything optimal. The mid/tweet could share an active channel and just passively cross the two separate, but everything is a compromise. If the pods weren't built I'd go about it differently. oh geez i think i forgot to mention something haha, those pics where from someone else's build. the reason i was using them was as a reference since its the same car, and because you've (m5) heard the car.here is a link to the build log, its from 2007 so its been a while, sorry for the confusion. I bought the drivers for Scott's car, lol, but he had tweeters. Full rangers without I really would prefer up above the dash. agreed, the fountek should be great in the A-pillar. and they have a relatively low mounting depth compared to some other drivers, which should allow me to keep the pods smaller and less obtrusive. still on the fence with kicks vs doors for midbass.. there isn't carpet behind the stock plastic kick panel so the midbass would be vented out (no idea where to, firewall perhaps?). i could seal up the kicks as well i guess. also, i wont have to deaden the doors as much. i remember reading about how it is better to get the midbass as wide as possible for the best staging. is this true? doors are limited by a 3.25" mounting depth. If you are running a full ranger, I wouldn't worry so much about the midbass for staging reasons. Crossing under 3-400Hz won't affect it much. I would instead consider where you can get them more volume behind the drivers, if the kicks are truly vented outside and you can seal it off that would be my pick.

    Ribs have been on since 8am smoking. Getting ready to pull them off. Hope they are spare or St. Louis otherwise they will be a WEE bit overdone for my tastes. If they are of course you are probably golden. And BY FAR my favorite cut are St Looey's
  22. What do you mean by clean up and how do they do it?
