I really wonder why I didnt notice there was no battery under the hood. Keep forgetting to look at the Cobalts.
Official Car Audio Thread - motoxer4life - 04-14-2008
Anyone order from Techronics.com ?
Im talking to the crutchfield live chat and the girls saying that since they are not an authorized alpine dealer they arent getting theyre subs and stuff from alpine and that they could be look alikes and stuff. I just wanna know if theyre reliable and stuff

Michowski Wrote:ponch that is a really really gay setup that guy has. Makes elton john seem straight. Most of these people are funny thinking 18" subs and the entire trunk full of box and electronics is gonna make them the shit or something. I could take a single 10" sub and outdue that guy if I really wanted to lol. Probly sounds like shit because I rarely ever hear a nice tuned system. like 99% of people just put subs in a box and go. Never take the time to adjust or even attempt to tune it.
Id hate to bust ur balls but you ARE NOT going to outslam any sized MT/BTL very easily. . . .

Damn that sucks. Im hoping though that the stuff is authentic. The chick said they might not be because theyre not authorized or wutever.

Is there any way to tell him for sure like a vin # or something?
Official Car Audio Thread - J-Dub - 04-15-2008
Telling someone about your Car? VIN is Vehicle Identification Number. Alpha Numeric Code telling everything about the car basically. First 8 are like, Chassis, Engine, last 8 are like, which plant it was build, and what number car it was to roll off the line.

Well after three loud music calls in the neighborhood about me, I got the kabosh put on the system by the parents. So now I got about $800 in audio stuff and no car to put it in, lol. Next move-OWN CAR!

Hell yeah thats whats up.
Question:
When I play rap music, my shit is loud as hell and vibrates all my mirrors out of place and stuff, but when I play metal, the subs cut out after not even 1 song and the amp is hot as hell. Is it cause of the rapid bass? Do I just need to get a more powerful amp?
edit: www.myspace.com/thepartisanturbine <--thats the kind of stuff I can't get through one song on without the subs cutting out.
Official Car Audio Thread - Ponch - 04-28-2008
No, asshole neighbors.
I turned my system up and walked down the block- can't hear it past 1 house. If every hydrant is 200 ft apart, and there's 4 houses inbetween each, that's 50 feet (still legal) range of sound.
We've had problems with them ever since we moved in. Just don't seem to like the whole "cop" thing with my family.
I'm considerate, these were all within daylight hours, actually mid afternoon, no longer than probably 20 minutes at a time (just to tune or try a new song pretty much). If it's dark or late out, I kill the sub as soon as I get in the subdivision.
But anyway, police showed up, said there wasn't any music on when she arrived, and left, no harm no foul.
I'm just going to be calling these neighbors out during the summer now when they have their late night parties out back with loud music and spotlights going.
Don't get mad, get even *evil* My motto.

What subs/amp are you using?

Ponch Wrote:What subs/amp are you using?
2x Kicker CVR 12s w/ zx750.1 amp
I was thinkin that getting a zx1000.1 would solve the problem.
Official Car Audio Thread - Ponch - 04-28-2008
I'm guessing you're guessing that the amp is going on thermal shutdown?
Official Car Audio Thread - Ponch - 04-28-2008
Welp I looked at the specs on the subs, if you get another 750.1 it would be around what you needed for RMS.
Official Car Audio Thread - UE-Maxx - 04-28-2008
You shouldn't even listen to your subs around your house for the fact of some kids hearing it and watching you pull up to your house to jack your shit. Don't listen to it near your house and you won't worry have to worry about your neighbors or someone stealing them.
