    Little window shopping today and have narrow my brands to Ruger, Springfield, and SW. Next week some hands on and then I will have a better idea.

    While we are on the subject, I hate that most new trucks and suvs have the upgraded suspension to Bilstein. When they are not even close to a real Bilstein shock. Marketing gimmick!

    Yes they sure are and handle like shit. Geared toward women and not off road. Also the reason the FJ is leaving the US market. If I had to give up my 4runner it would be for a first gen FJ.

    The wife likes her camry, but sometimes I think she wishes she would have went with the lexus.

    I just wish they would take the 4runner back to Japan for production and design. As much as I love mine, I hate the new ones.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    My pistols that I own are Colt, Ruger, and Springfield. All are on the 1911 platform, 22, 40, and 45. The Ruger is SR-22 for the wife. Just wanted to add a 9mm to the case. Currently DPMS AR's are fairly cheap hear. The last one I bought 3 months ago was 549.99 with a $50 mail in rebate. I have my little collection of them, I like to say enough for each of my family members.

    Finally got the beetle sounding good without subs. Subs will come later.

    Started with wine and still drinking, now it is flor de cana. Thanks Aaron, I will be regretting this tomorrow.
  23. Gains are there for that purpose. You could connect a 1,000,000 watt amp up to a 100 watt speaker and as long as you set the gains correctly it wouldn't blow it. Your HU, even if it CAN output a full 4V through the pre-outs, wouldn't output that much voltage unless the volume was turned all the way up. It doesn't output 4V all the time. That's why it's suggested to set gains with the volume at about 3/4 of the way up. That way you can always turn it down for music that has a higher than normal recording level and turn it up a little more for the music that has a below average recording level. The one thing you've not mentioned that I would love to hear about is what you think of the DCON's. That's what I figured, it's just that I'm going to a level of power that I've always wanted but could never afford. I don't want to do anything to screw this up. I've done every last bit of the work myself so far with the help of people like you guys.... and I can't thank you enough. Shops charge big money for installs, money that I'd much rather put into equipment than someone else's pocket.As for the DCONs....they're 12s and I have loved every minute with them. So glad I researched long and hard before my purchase. I was about to do the old local shop Alpine subs until I read about everyone praising the DCON's SQ and how efficient they were. The one thing I hate is that I screwed up and ordered D4s instead of S4s. But in the end maybe that happened for a reason, as my alt was only 80 amps and I was forced to run at 4 ohms with the amp I had. Probably saved my electrical in the long run. The one thing I noticed once I put them in was how loud and low they got. I've always ran sealed subs in the past and was blown away by the output these had at 4 ohms vs the subs I was running sealed at 2 ohms. I can honestly say that this has been the most musical sub I've had to date, and I'll always recommend the DCONs to anyone needing a low powered sub with great SQ. What size are the dcons and are you going to sell them? 12s but I think I'm going to give them to my son for his Mazda 6. He's been hinting about it ever since he found out what I'm doing. Couldn't really afford a lot for his graduation last year so hopefully those and my old Kenwood 5 channel amp will help make up for it. That is a sweet gift!
