Welcome to the IHoP

This is for those of you with extended cab trucks.

I was just tossing some ideas around, but would it be possible to build a 'cube' subwoofer box like you see in most hatchbacks for SPL and just set it in the back of the truck with the seats folded up to get better numbers, or are trucks pretty much screwed for output's sake? All it would require was switching speaker wires, but I'd also find a way to secure the box... any ideas?

Had an interesting time going home tonight. Throwout bearing seized on the bearing retainer. I get to pull my trans out again. Yay. . . .

Again? Sounds like a GM.

Was this throwout bearing issue in the Taurass or the Cobra?

Unless it was a SHO it we know it wasn't there were no manuals available in tore-asses.

disassembled the old 2.8 and found it did in fact have a spun rod bearing. Most of the gaskets were gone in it as well.

managed to get stung on the damn knuckle again, this time left hand. Did get the exhaust wrapped though, uploading the pics now so expect an update soon.

pic of said bearing?

So I was going to play poker last night but the phucking atm machine ate my atm card once again. This is the third time this has happened. I was pretty polite the first two times but the third time has gotten me extremely pissed off. I'm gonna probably yell at them.

"I COULDN'T PLAY POKER LAST NIGHT DAMNIT!!!!!!"

There's a local guy in a bagged black extended cab '04 and he turned his system up and I couldn't even hear mine... it was ridiculous. My guess is he doesn't have a backseat with a huge box and 2 15/18's

I haven't heard very many loud trucks around here. The loudest vehicle I've heard FROM HERE......was my friends 18" MT with an orion 2500D. When jntar and djman came to town we put the TL on it, it hit a 148. From around here, it was pretty loud. I couldn't stand sitting in it. Then again, I'm not a huge fan of SPL.

No seat makes it easier, but the same box in a different rig and it would be louder.

Ok, net noob. Is there a good way to upload a lot of pictures at once to somewhere? When I tried on imageshack it sort of shit on me. I need to restore my budget install or recreate it, but putfile crapped my pics out. Just found them on my 3rd and never used external drive :Doh: I thought I had lost them though. ;)

Just had a revelation, how about in a gallery here. Then I know my thread will stay ok. I keep meaning to add a tuning section to it, maybe I will re-write it and do that.

I'm looking for RCA's because well, I'm gonna need some since I'm going to be running a 4 channel amp, I just looked up Monster RCA prices and damn are they more than I thought. I think I'll just go with some nicer KnuKonceptz or something.

Like say these for instance.

If you are feeling up to it... make your own out of CAT5.

I have those RCAs, they are nice to look at.

Curious if my neighbor can hook us up since he is the Monster rep. I will have to ask.

The Klarity is fine though, but I do like the Karma since you can get a 4 conductor. Less cables the better in my book.

oh plz do. I have some friends at best buy but I hate to ask them to give me a discount.

Neon, I know how to make CAT5, so I'm curious as to how you make an RCA cable?
