I usually use vise grips but when in a pinch a dull bolt cutter works to, plus bolt cutters are great for cutting 0 gauge wire

Sweet :) Please make sure to use the heaviest duty wire terminals that you can find. Thanks Also if it isn't to late, if it is to late it doesn't matter that much, but can you use dark burgundy carpet on the outside instead And where is the xcon logo going?

This may sound a bit noobish, and it may be.. But I am trying to enter these boston acoustic 4.5" woofers into WinISD, and it keeps saying it fails in many different areas,so am I entering something wrong, or are these bogus specs on these woofers? These woofers do sound good for $15, but I think the specs listed may be wrong please help me? Here is a link Boston Acoustics 4 1/2" Woofers (pr) New Unused.. - eBay (item 360225641845 end time Feb-11-10 12:21:31 PST)

Ya, big no to two different sized woofers. and if you want a good deck for cheap, in my opinion you can get a cheaper kenwood excelon deck. Some of there models are a little overpriced but if you dig around you can find a good deal, I have one and I love it. I have there best model though, but still nice clear sound is in all there excelon models. Here is a link to a good deck.. http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_21642_Kenwood_Excelon_KDC-X693.aspx

I still think hifonics are the best bang for buck, but overall I want a new amp someday, since Ive read that people have tested these for distortion and they start distorting at half watt output, and its audible at 2/3rd's output, it was in some topic in here but I forgot where.

well, if it was my truck I would have it loud, but I would make it so that i couldn't hear it while i'm just cruising on the highway, but once I get on it you'll hear me for a mile. Thats how my caddy was, i checked you could hear it for a mile, when floored.

O well thats not as bad but it still isn't very good to the engine, get a reverse flow muffler there loud but they keep the truck running right.

Is it a true straight pipe, thats bad for the engine if it is. Also my uncle modified his exhaust on one of his cars, so that when he wanted it loud he pulled a lever on the dash and it switched the pipe from a stock muffler to plain straight pipe.

ya my 140amp did, until I cooked it twice in 1.5yrs. its not the fact that I am drawing to much power, it is because the stock alternator isn't built for heavy loads, there not heavy duty. We had them re-do it the last time to heavy duty my current alternator, but that was my old car, so I gotta start over. I probably won't upgrade it until I cook the alt. Ya I Plan on doing that with my amp, but my projector recently died so I won't bother with that until I get my projector fixed.

besides deadener and a better amp than my hifonics 1610D there isn't much to do.

I paid her back in a week, and I plan on getting a job when I get my license in april. There are no jobs in my tiny village. Ive tried.

i dont borrow money from mom, i get ssi for my autism, and i rrent out a house, to myself.

it suspended....

i'm 21, and I am still learning, yes.

I am gonna be building a sealed enclosure for my 15" xcon it will be powered by 300rms Its gonna be going in the front of my living room, Should I fire the sub down or point it at the wall? What size should my enclosure be for good deep bass response in a sealed setup? Any ideas or tips?

My 12" house speakers can hit down to 35hz easy, when the xcon isn't turned on it still sound like there is a small subwoofer in here from my 12 inch 100 watt house speakers, its just that the awesomeness of the xcon is too loud and it drowns out any mid bass, i have 2 equalizer hooked up to the speakers. Plus they don't sound as rich as the xcon, the xcon did great in a smaller box, maybe I gotta wait for the box audible customs is building me you guys should check it out, this enclosure is going to be great. i can't wait to get it. I am looking for someone to build a Enclosure - SSA Car Audio Forum

sorry, You guys rushed me so Zi just threw them up there, i'll fix them, but how do you like them, it doesn't do anything above 70hz but the deep notes rock on this. I wish it'd go to 90hz, I like my lower midbass super loud, and "12 50watt woofer can't do that.

Let me know what you guys think !!!

I know I may seem dumb to some of you guys on here since you guys are pro's and know your stuff. But audio, whether its car audio or house audio or even headphones it not my hobby its my passion, my obsession. I want to learn everything about it, not just the basics, I want to know everything even if its barely necessary. But some of you guys aren't very willing to teach me, I do search Google 90% of the time there have been a couple times I didn't but its usually because I wasn't thinking or the fact I am tired, since I stay up late. But can you guys help me when I need it so I can be as smart as you. please. I'm sorry if this is a problem.

I can't figure out how to make my speedtest result my signature, I see other people do it and it doesn't work. Every time I try to load it, it says its to big, that it has to be less than 800x1000 pixels or something like that and I know this pic isn't even close being 800x1000, so what am I doing wrong???

thanks , but the thing is i did use the img tag, i used your insert image box, but when i tried it said it was to big. so i removed it and just put a link there, idn but thank you very much you made things easy thanks.

I'm not asking how to shrink it, because it doesn't need to be shrinked, i am saying your site thinks it needs to be, I tried 3 times. I want to know why it won't let me put it on there when other people use the same kind of link i'm using with the same size result and yet mine doesn't work.

thanks, I will keep on reading, I do read just about every post that comes up on the recent topics on here and I check it every 5-30 minutes, while i'm awake.

ok, I do ask in some topics, and I do read alot of topics on here. I have been learning a lot in my 5 years of car audio, the first 2 years I learned by myself, I guess i got used to forums now. I may seem like a noob to a lot of you guys since you are so experienced. But I am the smartest guy in car audio in my town, it is only a town of 721 ppl though. Everyone here thinks i'm a genius and they all agree my car is the loudest they have ever heard. When i know there is so much that is louder. But it is my goal to eventually go from my nice car stereo to a audiophile grade one, but no job keeps that at a slow pace. and there aren't any jobs here. Right now the only things of good quality is my ssa xcon, my enclosure that is currently getting built by audible customs and my polk momo 6x9's

sry I tend to skim along when i'm doing not so important topics. i am trying to learn i will get this right so your happy someday. I have read your rules, but one thing with me I have to learn everything very specifically and I like everything in an overkill amount of detail.
