Well. I got tired of the random stuff thread for my pcitures so I took them out and started my own thread dedicated to everything I have done so far.

I'll have pictures of my car following this post tonight as well as some pics you haven't seen before. but here are the ones from the random stuff thread.

calling the uncle tonight about the alternator. I'm getting a phone call back about cadence amps. if the guy can't get me what I want I'm going to start looking for an indash video unit... i have a few contacts who can cut me a deal nowadays!

haha

-adam

you think if i put the **** in it would trash my alt?

exalted512 · June 2005

i didnt tell you, but cadence is very very very good. Also, you dont need a new alternator, just turn the gain all the way down. youll be ok

swerve · June 2005

I'm amazed with Cadence too because they almost seem affordable... I don't know why but 500 dollars seems affordable now and for the ones I was seeking I've seen for around that price from dealers but it was kind of dated.

swerve · June 2005

bleh it's going in tonight.

i was thinking all weekend about giving it a test run but i'm sick of waiting. i'll hook it up then clean up the wires next weekend when I get some time.

The oddity about this hifonics amp is that it doesn't have a gain cnotrol on the amp...

therefore i have to use the remote? hmmmmmm

exalted512 · June 2005

do it do it!!

Of course it does... ALL amps have gain controls. Might be labeled as "Level" if I remember mine correctly without looking... Check your manual.

audiobliss · June 2005

Man; you definitely need to get that sub and amp hooked up!!!

spwuinmk67 · June 2005

I think my new hifonics amp says level too, and has voltage numbers around the edge of the knob. from like .2v to 6v

swerve · June 2005

alpine sucks... blahaha

i need a new HU. the thing pounds but still needs some tweaking. I'm pleased. my grill is on crooked and on of the screws didn't go in right but it sounds good. car doesn't rattle TOO bad.

And I'm not taking an excursion video. I've already pissed my mom off because I was shaking our windows at 9 p.m...

ahhh moms.

theres a few amps that dont have the gain controls on the amp itself, but on a remote

LoL it's so **** loud.

I like it.... the bass doesn't overwhelm the lyrics and beat.

AND my car doesn't flex as much as i thought it would.

I can't play Late Night Tip though because it flexes so bad... but man.... it's hella nice sounding. I just need to tweek it some more and clean some stuff up.

as for decks what do you suggest?

If I go with pioneer I want the indash from sounddomain for 880... if i don't go with a screen my max is 500

Man it was 10 p.m. and i was cruising with it up... some kids at the park were giving me the eye. i'm like haha... i lock my garage **** and with those chickenshit arms you couldnt even lift my ****.

then i slapped them and gave them some bass and took off.

yea!!!

how about that if i can get them lower?
which I may be getting them lower!

-adam

I can get 200-250 for my current HU

EDIT: I want indash and I think the hifonics amp is pretty nice.... the guy never called me back about his cadence amps eventhoughw hen he said he would...

EDIT AGAIN: SD came down to 756.... pretty good. I'm trying to sell my polk subs and this crap lightning audio cap i have. my HU is basically sold.

I never thought I would want indash... but whatever... after trying to sell them I learned to really enjoy the touch screen.. the ability to look up and see track tags and you just have to tap it really appealed to me instead of diggin through 5 folders with 20 songs in eah ya know?

swerve · June 2005

what happend to the thread dedicated to me?

PolkThug · June 2005

I want that Pioneer 5700 as well. It seems to have a better viewing angle than others I've compared it to, also, picture seems more accurate.

Other DVD HU's may appear better at first to the untrained eye, but they really have exaggerated color and/or shadow detail loss.

well i'm most likely going to buy it. lol

i have to go tell my insurance i have a system worth more than my car today... they are going ot love that.

MacLeod · June 2005

Im very anti mobile video. Its pointless to me.

If I were you I would save the money and get this Pioneer P9600 which can be had for $440. The only thing better would be the P9 for a grand.

hmmmm my 9831 sucks so bad... i'm depressed. it's crap whenever you turn your amp down to under 1volt then it comes alive.
stupid rca preouts man... i hate this crap.

who sells the P9? I'm still leaning toward in dash but the fact is i have 750 dollars for a head.. in dash or not.

and you know what else is funny. I don't have an alarm and I don't trust anyone around here to put one in.

exalted512 · June 2005

p9 is pioneer premier

MacLeod · June 2005

Whats wrong with your Alpine?

and your point being?

cody you wouldn't go with in dash either would you?

MacLeod · June 2005

He's telling you who makes the P9.

Im assuming you want to know who sells the P9. I dont know of any authorized internet dealers that do but its not a head unit youre gonna find at a Best Buy. Only a car audio shop will carry them. Its about the best unit on the market so it would be cool to have it.

this is the f***ing problem. i wanted a premier deck before and everywhere i went i got laughed at.

i'm not too happy with the sub... sure it's loud... but it could be picking up lots more I think. I don't know what I'm doing wrong... and like I said the preout v. most likely does not help.

is this it?

youre doing something wrong, I have a friend with one in his focus and he radar detector moves up and down an inch or two when the bass hits

yea....

i don't have the gain up all that much

the HU setting for subs is at 4 out of 12 or 15.

i have it low passed at around 55.

then there are all kinds of other options that i have no clue about.

Q - i guess this is some kind of thing that covers an area of freq. and has to do with the boost?

some wide and narrow crap

and impedance knob...

bleh i don't know what is going on.

swerve · June 2005

another question.

if i'm running a ported box should i have the sub firing to the rear or toward the cab?

it's loud don't get me wrong but some songs sound like my momo's did... so either polk has a huge secret or i'm extremely dumb?

so adam is going to be the first here to own a P9 right?

lol this thing sounds nuts.

but i don't have to gett he DEQ as well do I?

31 bands is kind of extreme for my application whenever I can't begin to figure out an amplifier... lol
