    Sub firing into MTX Thunderform. Work? Pic.

    I don't want to start anything, but the guy is selling his truck, and the system with it. He's not selling the system alone, so it doesn't matter whether the sub sounds great or not. Obviously it's the truck he wants to get rid. And I would think it would sound alright. It doesn't have to...

    Question about cd changer

    I personally would not get that one. I have never heard of ESA, and I've been around all kinds of audio gear for over 10 years. You get what you pay for when it comes to car audio, and that's a little too cheap. Also, I didn't see anywhere that it said it would play CD-R's, which would be a...

    Accessing the AUX input on a HU

    Or you could just buy an Eclipse which has a mini plug aux input that you don't need to buy any extra cords for, plus I'm sure it will sound better than your Sony.

    '01 sport/sporttrac, are the rotors the same?

    The EE website says that the 01 Sport and 01 Sporttrac can both use the same Powerslot rotors. Another website is trying to tell me that they can't, and that I should spend the extra $75 and get the ones they are telling me to get. They say that the Sport and the 4-door X's have the same...

    How to: Speaker enclosure fabrication - WorkLog - 2 challenges 3 & 7. Just for Fun, Nothing Fancy!!

    Have you seen Audiobahn's new DUB lineup? They have speaker grilles that look exactly like chrome rims. They have 6 points, and I know the Cobra's only have 5, but they might work for ya! You might even be able to throw some snakes in the middle or something? Just an idea.

    My rotors are warped, gotta a couple of ???

    Alright, I started thinking and looking around some more and came to a conclusion, but I got another question first. I found some other rotors, by SP Performance, and emailed the site a question about shipping. They emailed me back this response: I thought that the '01 Sports had the same...

    2 starters in 3 months???? WTF

    I had the same problem in my old Cavalier. I replaced 4 starters in under a year. The culprit was finally found to be the flywheel. Luckily I only paid for the first starter, the rest were replaced under warranty.

    12's over 10's...

    I've got a pair of RE SE 12's, both in their own 1 cuft sealed box, powered by a JBL 1200.1 at 1 ohms. They hit low and loud. If you put them in a ported box they would sound awesome, but you would need a lot of room for them. I can't speak for the x..'s, but have heard nothing but good stuff...

    My rotors are warped, gotta a couple of ???

    For your truck, they cost $40 a piece. For my truck, they are $100 a piece for normal rotors. I will probably be ordering the powerslots from EE in a couple of days. I won't have time to put them on for a week or two. Should I just order the pads from EE, too, or are there some better pads...

    My rotors are warped, gotta a couple of ???

    If you are talking to me, someone told me that my rotors were warped after they drove my truck. Then today I pulled my wheel off and when I spun the rotor, it spun fine until the part that was warped got around to the pads, then became hard to spin. Visual inspection led me to that conclusion...

    My rotors are warped, gotta a couple of ???

    Alright, found out that my rotors are warped on the front of my 2001 X Sport. What are the best/ cheapest place to buy new rotors? Also, should I replace the brake pads as well? Anything else I should be looking for? I've never done rotors before, but I have someone willing to help, and a...

    Electrical System Help

    I say just hook it all up and see. I have a JBL 1200.1, (2) Kenwood 200's, and a Jensen 400 all run off my stock battery and alternator. There's no point in spending extra money that you might not need to. Oh, and nice choice on the RE. I have 2 12" RE SE's.

    Hard turn on with my amp question.

    Alright, I have a JBL 1200.1, and sometimes it will send a pop through my subs when it turns on. It doesn't it do it all the time, and when I try to get it to do it to possibly trace down the problem, it won't do it. Any suggestions on possible problems?

    USB Audio Interface Suggestions?

    Yes there are a lot of small products that do the same thing, but why should you spend the extra money buying one if you can just use your laptop? I know I already have them all organized and everything, why would I want to spend the extra time moving them to another periphial? And the quality...

    What I find funny about building your own box(AKA my worlog)

    Crutchfield for the box corners. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-G1bYQHBwvN7/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?s=0&c=11&g=743&I=1251536&o=p&a=1&cc=01&avf=Y It's like $13 second day to your door. Thanks for the compliments. It sounds awesome! I was worried how they were going to sound sealed, but man they...

    Just for comparison, here's my old setup. 100x better IMO.

    What I find funny about building your own box(AKA my worlog)

    I got my amp in Friday, and I had the night off, so what better time to install it? It took me about 3 hours to put in. That includes building the rack, most of which was the time it took to dry. I am so glad to finally have some bass after 3 months without it. I've still got some wire...

    Amp/Speaker install

    I would personally just buy one of the kits. Check Ebay. Here's one that ends in half an hour that you should be able to get shipped for less than $20. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32808&item=3092208784&rd=1 Or if you click here it is the Ebay listing of 4 gauge amp...

    What I find funny about building your own box(AKA my worlog)

    No, I didn't know how it would come out. I've never done anything like it. I know it's not show quality, or anything like the stuff you would do, but I'm happy with it. It's my first box, and I've learned a lot. I have nowhere to go but up in my future boxes.

    What I find funny about building your own box(AKA my worlog)

    Well, I've done a lot of work the last couple of days. My amp is in the mail, should be here this weekend so I can have it finished next week. Here's some misc. pics. This is what it looks like behind my rear panel. I moved 3 of my amps back there. I forgot to take a pic of all the amps...
