in the process of publishing 4 videos to youtube from my phone.. i think they came out pretty good considering

i love that feeling of knowing it's on the way pics will be necessary

so i learned two things earlier -iphone camera sucks in dark -iphone mic does 'ok' with bass but distorts to the point that the highs can't really be heard... well with my setup atleast

The Notorious B.I.G. - Me & My Bitch

lol time whip out the credit card

yeah. well sort of. ive never done it but ive read about what it is and im going to have help with that when it comes time to do it by somebody thats actually done it before so im good to go there. i have really good resources when it comes to the installation part which is a learning process for me but its just the products that are confusing because theres so many and so many personal opinions on things. ok well then that's good and thanks. oh and by the way. the sundown amps' power light are an LED blue along with the light on the remote knob. so it would match your black and blue theme that you mentioned

okay i wont lol how many do i need, 2? uhhh i'd say 1 or most likely two do you know what the Big 3 is? in terms of wiring under the hood of a car

don't forget Deka. this one in particular Deka Intimidator 9A31H Battery

lmao that's low

how much money i want to spend is really what will work great. im not setting a price and saying i have to get an amp under a certain amount. my price is whatever amp will do the job the best and make me happy with the system. and you said the more power the amp produces, the more my truck has to produce which is another concern i have. I know im going to need at least a 250 amp alternator along with batteries but my question is how do peoples vehicles run when at idle with the system going? it just seems like the vehicle would shut off. im just curious what everybody with big systems do to overcome this or if its even a problem at all. well either amp will do the job. go with the 3500 since it's cheaper then. but yes you are right. you're going to need a high output alternator and some extra group 31 batteries. playing music at idle is fine if you have the electrical system to back it up.

i have to venutre out into the snow in a little while so.. i'm going to make a video on my new iphone to test how it reacts to bass

oh and i won this back in september lost to mister SPLscion with his scion tc with two 15 soundstream something or others he hit a 144.something. i hit a 142.6 i'm eager to have my car metered again. it has definately improved since back in september

haha so all done deadening until a yukon is sitting in my drive way but i give major props to the boys at second skin. your products are awesome. IMO you guys are putting dynamat and all them to shame. you guys are on the rise to the top keep it up! (if you're not already there now lol) i have exerience with dynamat. and damplifier pro and your product is far better. using second skin i found no need for a heat gun... or blow dryer in my case haha. and i applied it when the weathe was in the high 30 degree range. which is still cold as f***. i plan on purchasing much more second skin products in the future. i also want to try some spectrum for the doors and all of those hard to reach places. it looks pretty promising thanks again for choosing me in the competition. i really appreciate my free door pack! do you see dynamat and those other companies out there on forums giving away free products? no. i didn't think so.

you're going to drop big money for an amp(s) either way. in my opinion. i'd go with one Sundown 4500D or 3500D. with the 4500 the subs will get a little extra power. with the 3500 the subs will get pretty much exactly what they're rated for. so it basically comes down to how much money you want to spend. and then.. the more power your amp produces. the more power your truck is going to have to produce to support the amp.

wash, rinse, repeat i also made the other door like this since the deadener was covering where the gasket would be

well now here's the scenario. i know i had to apply some of the second skin in my car. so i decided to do a little patch on the driver and passenger door. just around the speaker hole. i know it's not enough but it stopped the rattling i could hear sometimes and IMO i think they sound a little better. i still have about 12 sq. ft. of deadener left. which i am saving for my next vehicle. which i should have soon. i hope. so there was no point of wasting deadener on my maxima which will be gone soon enough.

laid out size comparison 13 sq. ft.

wow it's been a while well i won a door pack from Second Skin not too long ago from Ant... thanks Ant! but uh still haven't posted up any pics of it. so i'm going to now!

from what i've read.. don't bother with the bp option. and as for the amp. if i was you i'd run it off of either of these: -Sundown Audio SAZ-1000D -Sundown Audio SAE-1200D Refurbished SAE-1200D : dB-r Electronics, Online Store -Sundown Audio SAE-1000D

nice flex port color is cool too

lol likin' the seat flex

I wouldnt even use it, just keep put it on when you need to get an inspection. Mine just slides all the way done until you cant see out of it and I get tired of positioning it back up so I just let mine sit there. probably what i'll end up doing, but yea i turned it up for a minute and it slid right down too

x2, Sundowns are lovely amps might I add but you dont have to break your back to get one. Now if you want to do it just to join the dark side then please be my guest cause you will be happy one as we all are.
