...Are you my 72 virgins?

Where's the lead broken? If it's just broken off the terminal, it could be fixed without having to recone it. If it's broken off in the middle or near the cone...use what was mentioned above.

I think the last generation of Mag could do very well with 750W, IMHO. Other than that...let's see....Rainbow Vanadium, Morel Ultimo, Focal Utopia, Aura NS, Arc Flatline, JL W6v2...just some of my favorites

Cleaning up the apartment, and mounting a phono cartridge Sucks on so many levels...but I'm too broke to buy a two-point protractor jig to do it for me

Dash-mounted midranges are dangerous

I use an alarm called "hidden in plain sight"

Currently totally sober and cleaning up my apartment...

Fuses are by no means accurate Bigjon's circuit breaker is just set to trip off at a value closer to the specified current, your fuse has more leeway...

I took that to mean to include installation tips that would help, but it was poorly written, you're probably right

Maybe my eyes are shot right now (a very good possibility), but other than having someone build the box for him where did he say this was going to be shop-installed?

No answers in the back

This sucks. I know my numbers are fucked for this problem, but it's one of those where everything else builds on what you've already done. So all my numbers are going to be off. Hopefully I'll get some partial credit...

well we have gone over this you only do the front and i choose to do the whole truck..and whats wrong with 2 15's for sq? let me guess your going to come with a whole diy setup for the guy..lol I was actually thinking Hybrid Audio, so not really "DIY" Nothing particularly wrong with 2 15's for SQ in and of themselves, it's just that that takes away budget for more critical things...like the front stage. I'd rather have that down first, and then leave adding more subs for later if there's budget for it.

I'll write up a list when I have more time, but 2 sets of components is a waste for SQ...so is 2 15's, that would be better spent elsewhere.

Too much water vapor, and we'd be back to the kind of climate the dinosaurs lived in Heck, too much oxygen in the atmosphere and a lot of life on the planet would be screwed... I think with the current technology we have, biofuels can be done cheaply and would be a transition to whatever's on the horizon. I think corn-derived ethanol is a joke, but Brazil seems to be having good luck with sugar... I'm a fan of both biodiesel and EV's because the level of technology is relatively low for a home builder, you can do either on the technology we have right now without much difficulty. I'd rather give corporations the finger now, instead of waiting potentially decades for a world-changing technology to finally become mainstream.

hmmmm.... Except I need a working one!

It just seems to me that GM and Ford are building these proof-of-concept vehicles that may be great technologically, but Toyota and Honda are laughing their way to the future in a Camry/Civic. To be sure, I think there are major problems with the way Toyota has been pushing hybrids, but I'm just shaking my head at how GM is thinking they can be profitable with what they're doing.

Sleep isn't looking good tonight, too much to do

http://www.mecacaraudio.com would have a rules sheet. The different classes are an attempt to separate different levels of competition, experience, and the work done to the vehicle...

That's hideous.

I don't think it looks bad as it is...there can be too much of a color

Between your head unit & amplifiers...

Given a slightly larger enclosure size than what you'd use in a vehicle, you really don't need that much power at all. Definitely under a kW. In IB I thought 500W is plenty, so maybe 750W at most... Ideally you shouldn't notice a difference between the Sonotube enclosure and a traditional all-MDF one, the cylindrical shape itself does help with bracing and keeping things rigid somewhat...

LOL I got tired of telling people we don't have a shop, and that we just do it as a hobby We've got a shop that builds anything you want SQ vehicles...SPL vehicles...coffins for very skinny people...
