    this ever happen to you

    when i am driving down the road ,it is unot uncommon for the car in front of me to pull over and let me go by them. it happen twiced today within about 10 mile drive. too me i amm not rideing there ass.(i can see under the car in the front) got music up bass bumpin but too me its not loud at all. i am told that "the fucken windows are vibeing in the living room" my wife says we live on the 3rd floor i dont belive her. so i wonder is it my drivin, or music? i really dont think i am a bad driver in my opinon. so anyone else ever notice this while driving? and another thing what to do about the f*#%en(its really got me pissed) rearview mirro. damn thing keeps falling off. fix it 4 times now. is there anything better then the stuff for the rearview mirro to stick to the windshield that you can buy other then the bands that you can get at napa, autozone, advance auto parts, or ace hardware?, cuz there brands dont work.

    I have a question about ports. I am having finely decided to use round ports. But I have a problem; I have 8.89ft3 I want to tune around 38 Hz. The problem I run into is I need like 15’’ of port. The box is only 14’’ deep, going with 2 8’’ ports. So, can I bend the port with a 45? So it will make it in to the car with out a problem. If yes, do I have to add any thing to the length, or do I just cut the tube where it needs to be and add the 45 in between the cut peaces. Trunk setup subs up, port up going thought the rear deck.

    fFound a custom shop today, now I knew of this guy for many years. He’s the one that made me want more. He had a ford with a blow thought. Well I found where he moved to and went and seen him to day. At first he did dent remember me. And gave me that snob look and attitude, Talk for a few then I ask him about a few things told me I need a cap and explained to me about what a cap does. After he was finished I said a cap really not another battier. He stops dead and says well 1 or 1.5 frads wont do you need a lot I am like some around 25 he’s like yea then he asks me what I got in the trunk and his whole attitude changed. Told me the real story I would like to call it (loll side note kriss kross jump just came on in my itunes made me laugh) anyways said yea another Betties is better with an alt upgrade. And all that other stuff, Started talking about the outrages 10000 watt war horse from kicker. He told me he had to get back to work at first, but as the guy picking up his car was standing there he was still going on and on. Got a shop I can stop at now and get some advice. Oh and if you live in mass area Phillips glass company is the shyt fix my rearview mirror for free and they never even meet me.

    im not sure what you mean by frq dial. if you mean the x-over yeah i had it set around 80. and with all settings down yes it was still there. me and Chuck (ChicagoFan) actually tuned on it for 30-45 minutes tonight and its definitely hurt. i guess over time it just got to be too much. we got it to a happy medium where its not doin it AS LOUD but still there, as it was there no matter what we did. we got it to a decent level and we will see what happens from here, how much longer the sub lasts. my box is actually a little smaller then what Fi recommends so i am going to get a bag of polyfill and throw that in my box and see what happens. i will try to do that tomorrow most likely. thanks everyone for your help so far. yes the x over the first dial that you come to from the end i cant spell and i am not going to try it. but you got what i ment and thats good you got it to a happy meduim . i not sure on this but i think ,,,I THINK,,, if you fill the box with polyfill i would THINK that,, that would make the boxes airspace even smaller?. but like i said i dont know.

    YOU KNOW YOU DID THIS

    I really don’t give a flying fuck about what other people think. If they don’t like it they can drive faster. I do play my system loud all the time, and turn it up at stop lights. Just to piss people off. Yes i have massive trunk rattle and well everything rattles. I can’t hear it, do you think i car if you can? I’ve had people flip me off, get out and yell at me (I love that get to yell back), call cops; pull over to the side of the road. Whatever they do, i always get a laugh out of it, and it brightens my day. Yes i am an arseho but i don’t really give a shit anymore. I have nothing to lose and life just sucks. What ever i can get enjoyment out of i take every advantage of it. That’s my system i love bass and a lot of it. To add I put this though spell check and grammar check to make sure everything is right. So at least you can’t bitch that my grammar and spelling is off. All you can bitch about is my rant. lol

    port placement?

    i did subs up port up in a trunk. draw back theres not much room up and down, and it does a number on the rear deck. get rid of any deck speckers and cut out stuff if you can gett the pressure out of the trunk
  16. when puting the fuses back in my amp i broke the thing that holds the fuse. so right now i am just running a lead (with a fuse in it) from the holder thats not broken to the power 12v on the amp. will this be ok to keep this way. or is it wasy to just heat up the solder and put a new holder in and where can i get one. could i get a in line fuse holder and run from one lead to another and solder them in. i cant run just one amp.. there in a common camber box all 4.

    I know I have a car audio addiction when......

    when you would rather have a sytem them a trunk, back seat, pick up bed, cargo area, ect. if you think its ok to just cut that metal out of the way. in your car just to get something to fit when every car you see you think " i wounder how much stuff you could fit that car." but you really know you have a problem when yopu would rather play with your system rater then a girl or boy. (i guess it all depends now adays)

    fuse on amp

    i hope this helps you know how some amps mys a kicker have fuses on the amp. theres two female post the take the fuse well one of the female ends broke off. so my ? is if i use a inline fuse from one point to the other point (points being where the female fuse holders are) so its still fused. or should i get a female fuse holder and un solder the ould post out and solder a new one. that would invole alot dont know where to find them female post that willl fit in the same holes.

    Zx750.1 12"x2 CVR's 2009 F150 single cab

    The 750.1 can push 2-12 CVX's, it just wont push them to their maximum output. Underpowering subs is not a problem, i currently have 700 watts on 3-12 cvx's and they sound lovely and hit hard for the power thats running to them (which is only a third of power). i am sure your pushing more then 700watts kickers are always underrated
