    Fact. Deep frying you want the "capacitive" effect as temperature changes are bad.

    What size and how many ft do you need for the ground?JAll good, it is ran. Overkill for what I'll use anyways, just not even overkill LOL Right on. Just thought I should ask. J Thanks. Just glad it is done. I don't particularly like pulling wires.

    Seth - any idea if my truck will complain if I take out the brain? I gutted the rest of the stereo today and figure that won't do anything for me so I'd yank it and use the space for something else if I could.

    I do need a plug and of course last week the Rat Shack right by my house closed. I could cut the plug off the DC power supply I have for the pc in the house but thought that may come in handy later.

    Not that they take that much time to pull, it just doesn't feel like a car when they aren't in.

    Well my car is driveable again. Far from complete, but the rest doesn't require having the seats out.

    It is really hard to remember to take pictures when you do shit. I get in the zone and just do. Was nice today as I had no urgency to do anything and no rush so I just chugged along. Also had no car for running for parts.

    I just bought some suede for my headliner and pillars in the Town Car. Interesting. Making me feel okay putting it back up with holes, lol. I've been meaning to find an upholstery shop to wrap my dash as well. I hate fucking plastic dashes.

    Would realize that after I ziptied everything up all nice.

    Crap, just realized I didn't pull a wire for the kiddie TV. Not that my pc has a compositeoutput, but I should probably do that. *hopes I have one.

    Oh, hardwired my radar detector too of course.

    That was just to install one amp and pull power and speaker wires.

    I got you beat. Pics tomorrow. I'm sure. I did drive the kids to daycare this morning and it should be driveable in 1.5 hours if I get off this chari.

    I need one.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Probably going to go pop out and wire the amp now so I can put the console back in. Chairs can go in after that. Stupid fucking design requires you remove the chair to take out the console. With a stubby L phillips you "could" do it with it in once you know where the hidden screws are, but as always the first time everything is easier if you just pull it all. Still need ideas for my pillars and the holes. I might just rewrap the whole pillar since the tweeter mount was so easy....but then I'd really like to aim them too. Just doesn't happen from the get go. This is called quick and dirty to be ready for HP Tuners when it gets here.

    Day off, kids at daycare. I lolligagged around all day, but pulled all the wires I need.
  23. That isn't what I meant. First step, SHUT IT OFF. Now listen to your mids. Optimize the crossover for them. The lower the crossover the less volume you typically will get without distortion. Once you find a compromise blend the sub back in and adjust the crossover until it sounds best to you. Then I'd go back and re-evaluate the previous settings as well. Your ear will be good at tricking you until you train it.

    Everytime I see the title of the Supergas thread I think my stomach burbles.
  25. Has nothing to do with being a 12 and everything to do with your install. No one can tell you where to set it outside of somewhere between 40-120Hz would probably do.
