    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    That one with 87k miles? Hows it feel to own a GM product again? I only did it because Seth convinced me. I'll not bear that responsibility, sir. Which truck did you get? Ha, you called me sir. 2010 Cadillac Escalade with 84k. 1 owner in pristine condition.

    I won't say swap is for sure since I may re-use the block, but majorly increasing the power will happen.

    I won't have it for a week or so. Pics will come. Looks like a black on black base Escalade atm. Only thing I wish the base had was the heated steering wheel, the rest just adds cost for repair later.

    Tired of your BS. Get a pair of 8"s for fucks sake. For the doors sure.

    Wait, a GM from the north land that isn't rusted? I know huh? This one is undercoated. The nut holding on the non-tensioner pulley is showing a wee bit of surface rust as is the bolt holding on damper. Think his wife followed people too close and it was salted. The front bumper cover looks to be sprayed, but just over the old as you can see some divots from paint chips but they are black. Not noticeable at all unless it is at face height. Inspected it on a lift for a good half hour. Guys thought I was nuts.

    Wasn't ANY rust on the undercarriage and everything was tight. Another 6mo of powertrain warranty which gets me through the winter while I amass parts to turn it from boring to fun.

    Stereo is awful in it. Curious if the Esky/Yukon... have any "stealth" style boxes available. Have to be a poop ton used if there are and I am not interested in a box. Would go subless if there isn't. I hardly need the sub in the first place.

    Me too. If FoMoCo wouldn't have jacked up the Navi the decision would have been easier. Or if the Germans didn't think their parts were gold, but alas neither happened so I now get to bitch about the general again. From a work perspective it could be beneficial as well. GM was my largest customer this year. It will feel good to let them know I own one of their prodcuts and for some of the guys working there it will be fun to let them know I am modding the shit out of it.

    Actually no idea. Don't get the car probably until next week. Have to have the lease company write it up.

    The last time I searched in Minneapolis and suburbs we only had 2 donut shops. None on my way to work. I will say though that one of them is super good. The maple frosted bacon bismark is yummy.

    Take the CATOC™ BatCap Challenge!

    Then you understand why it is spam. A little less koolaid would help you a TON.
  16. Yep, completely pointless. As with anything audio focusing on only one spec or two will make you draw the wrong conclusion. On subs you won't even here 10% thd, so...

    I didn't even see a challenge on his link...exactly why I asked him to explain it.

    Help with an active front stage.

    I'd run that Alpine in your car over what you have. Use it for testing inside first

    Wave T-line or ported

    Then it is easy, 1/4 wave won't fit.
