I had one, didn't really use it. Its a pain to play near sunlight because its glossy and long rides better take the charger because the battery life I believe is a max of 5hrs.

KaosStarr

If I remember correctly a year ago when they posted all the specs out in a line, pretty much all of them came out equal. Personally I think they are all special in their own areas, Sony = RPGs, 360 = FPS, Nintendo = Classics/Weird.Take a gander at how it seems PS3 isn't selling so hot in general. Ye...

KaosStarr

Well yeah your having a massive pull of current to run it, since the alt can't handle it. It will pull the current out of the battery and after so much time the battery will run low and after enough times the battery won't recharge.

KaosStarr

I must say I've seen them twice so far and plan on going next year also. There is two TSO bands, an east and west coast. If I'm correct I'm not 100% sure but the east coast group is what is used for cds because they are pretty much the original. If any of you live on the west coast and have seen it ...

KaosStarr

Well, the most noted that I remember for me would be. The Cha Cha Slide, Hokey Pokey, All My Life - Foo Fighters (speed skate), and Atomic Dog - George Clinton.

KaosStarr

hes kinda looking for something affordable. I really don't think that sub is in his price range let alone with that box. Good equipment, least their subs/speakers. I'm not to fond of their amps. My friends on his 3rd 300/2. You can make anything loud, you can go 3 routes. Sealed, Ported, Bandpass. O...

KaosStarr

I must agree its prob a cheap made guitar. On the other hand I'm sure if you threw it to someone like Eric Clapton or Steve Vai, they could make it sound just as good as anything else. I have a 12yr old Washburn, when they actually made decent guitars.

KaosStarr

I think my lights almost go out, within 20m i can kick the battery light on. But I think I need to replace my stock battery, its still the original, and I want another deep cycle under the hood

KaosStarr

Yes, I just ran the power wire to the back since I went such a big system, i ran an 0g wire and just threw a battery on it, instead of a capasitor.

KaosStarr

I really doubt you will need to worry about the alt.Thats my setup power wise minus the M&T amp and I have a stock battery and alt still from when I got the car 2 years ago.Kinda cool to see there's another gen vibe person from my general area of Ohio.

KaosStarr

Is it a constant hiss, or do you kind of hear the engine in it if its turned down?Check the power and ground make sure they are secure from the front to the back and that the ground is on a metal surface that has the paint removed.

KaosStarr

It all depends on what you want, as I said. Like what kinda music do you listen too and how far do you want to take it. For an example, this is my setup right now.Head Unit: Alpine Mp3/CD PlayerHighs: Memphis M-ClassHighs amp: M&T Amp (Factory)Subs: Alpine Type R 15sSubs amp: 2 JBL 1200.1sExtras...

KaosStarr

What all are looking to have done, such as switching out highs, adding subs, or what?Do you want it to be high in SQ, SQL, or SPL?

KaosStarr

Ok, ColonelPanic, you were saying about the gauge cluster and how you wouldn't be able to keep track of the oil, gas, heat, and miles. Now with the miles, in theory. Wouldn't it still have to save in the BCM or some other sort of place, because if he sends a loner out, then its not going to get the ...

KaosStarr

I must say I usually, change out my headunit then subs and then my doors. I see Jahntassa says Pioneer is better than Alpine.I'm an Alpine fan. It has better functions for me so I can gain SPL. But the Pioneer is more towards SQ if you ask me, its pretty indepth with the whole EQ setup. My Alpine is...

KaosStarr

Well I have a Alpine in my car had it over a year its still going strong. My dad has had the same sony deck in his truck for I believe 8 years now.

KaosStarr

Well if you feel there is too much bass, look into a amp for the highs down the road. I have just the M&T amp running my highs and I can still get an all around sound. Which my bass is quite insane if you ask me.

KaosStarr

It would depend on the size. JohnC hes meaning more towards the radio itself not the antenna I believe. Maybe in the center console or the glove box? Or is that to small?

KaosStarr

I would like to agree yet disagree with LUVROK.I must say it is a nice upgrade from the stock cluster, but to my intrests I doubt I would replace it because mine just does fine and I see no reason to upgrade it. I have wasted tons of money as you would put it in a system and all, but its because tha...

KaosStarr

Hmm whats running in the car, I think Korn, but I have slayer, pantera, cannibal corpse, bass mekanik, and 3-6 mafia all on backup.

KaosStarr

Off of the battery you can see on the air intake box, that there is a 250a breaker fuse. Then I have it running to the back of the car to a fuse another battery and also another fuse. Soon I plan on atempting to tear the entire interior out to place down some hushmatt or whatever I come across like ...

KaosStarr

Ok, so have you had any problems with the cd half of it or just when dealing with the Ipod?

KaosStarr

It doesn't matter if its on or off, it really doesn't have a pull on it from the lever. Have you tried to open it with 2 people. Like have someone outside looking at it as u pull to see if it even slightly moves, or even maybe take something and kind of wedge it to give it a slight amount of presure...

KaosStarr

As i've said I have the stock setup running 2400rms and I've had my car a year still no problems with my alt, i drain the battery quickly but no problems.

KaosStarr

Thanks, right besides that hole is the grommet i do believe, which u can take like a metal clothes hanger and poke it cuz thats where the other jumbled wires are going through.

KaosStarr

I hope that helps you.

KaosStarr

Its not really worth spending the money on upgrading tha alt. My friend put a new one in his Ford Escape, I believe it was around 500+ for a ho alt. So i could imagine what the vibe would be. Umm the wires to the alt. The big 3 as some call it I believe are a 4 or 8 gauge wire, I've been told that i...

KaosStarr

Well, first off you shouldn't have any problems running the 800 or 500 watt amp. They might be a max draw of 60amps, just a guess so go easy on that. So you won't need a new alt. I mean I should get a new alt, but I'm not sure on what the price would be for like a 150amp alt. because I'm throwing ar...

KaosStarr

Quote, originally posted by tcam Â»Jesus! That box is huge!Yeah my old box I had back there was 6cuft for it. This one is I belive 13.8cuft so with sub displacement and such I'm shooting around 13.0cuft inside.

KaosStarr

I believe the front and the rear are both 6.5s. The fronts will also need a 1" spacer to clear the window.

KaosStarr

I believe the 12.1D only comes in a Dual 4ohm.If thats the case then you will get either 1 or 4ohm output. Since they are 350RMS and your going with a pair that means that they recommend 700RM. I would look into a 1000watt amp. Brands to go with, hmmm, maybe Kicker, Orion, Hifonics, JBL, JL Audio, a...

If i hit the dash or hold the keypad it doesn't open, it actually doesn't unlock persay. I can hold the button and tug it won't open. underneath the backside with the pannel off i have to push kind of like a switch while pulling up on the window for it to even unlatch. I'm trying to figure where to ...

KaosStarr

So i go out today to work on the car to do some mat/foaming on the back hatch.. i open it up do my thing and then i close it then i was like i wonder if the glass has any rattling from up under it where the sides are. i click to open the window i hear the click of it being pushed but it didn't move ...

KaosStarr

Thats a 12" purple cathode under the driver side dash.. I don't have a problem with glow interfering with my night vision tho, I use to have them on the ceiling of my old car.

KaosStarr

Least someone can't steal the sub that easy

KaosStarr

Ok I haven't really looked or taken the chance to wana really get involved with it being so late in the year. With the M&T's amp, I wish to replace my speakers with something a tad bit nicer maybe Infinity or some JL Audio. If I go with new components up front. Is the tweeter and speaker combine...

KaosStarr

At a local shop. Thats y I think they put it there. its not even close to metal.

KaosStarr

Oh its drilled.... 2 screws... Morons, Yeah I was thinking a short ram but yeah I'd still have to move it, I may just look for a new tip for my muffler to get the bumble bee sound outa it and say forget the intake and maybe some springs or rims.

KaosStarr

I thought since it was on metal it would be bad, cuz I got a 200A circuit breaker, hmmmm i guess I could put it there easy to get to and i can do a short ram no problem thank you

KaosStarr

Alright... I was wondering where some of you have placed the ones under the hood some pics maybe, I took it in and had a car audio dealer do it. They put it on my freakin air filter box... I plan to take that out or heck even change the filter when I go to do an oil change... I have 0awg going throu...

KaosStarr

Isn't that the sub, The Jackhammer, they used in pimp my ride?

KaosStarr

Since your talking about blowing in the cartridges, did you ever have to take and push it from side to side like a wiggling to get it to run?

KaosStarr

Ok, since were on the order of new amps. I have M&T package I'm thinking of next summer replacing the factory speaker system with a new set of components either JL Audio or Infinity. My question is in all reality could I get a clip and find a diagram for the wires, so that I could use the factor...

KaosStarr

Its said that, the vibe was taken to the dealer to be looked at and all was fine. On mine I noticed like a springy sound in my driver door. If I lean my leg against the door it goes away so I'm wondering if its the latch or just the pannel flexing/vibrating to make it have that sound. I guess when I...

KaosStarr

I have 35% all the way around. I was thinking ok its 35% so it can't be easy to see at night right? Wrong, I have no problem seeing out my windows its like there slightly darker from the inside than what they were, looking out into the car is a different story.

KaosStarr

Is it a sort of rolling sound more more like a spring with an echo kind of sound?

KaosStarr

Umm I know on a base with moon & tunes.The driver side is the power inverter for the 115v outlet, and passenger side is the amp that powers the highs.

KaosStarr

See I had a choice of a satellite and the envy, the miles were really close i think around 1K different. So I choose the envy it had lower miles and the sales person had no clue what the difference was except the miles and the price difference was almost 3k. We got it knocked to what the satellite w...

KaosStarr

Hmmmm, You really think that would look nice? Theres a powder coater down the road. How long would it take to get the rails off totally? Round 2 hrs? I was also looking at a bug deflector cuz i seem to have some chips in the hood plus it would bring the color out.
