Review of: Temco Hammer Crimp TEMCo Lug Crimper Tool TH0007 I got this hammer crimp because I despise soldering large cables (1/0 to 4/0). I always seem to burn the insulation and the process takes too much time. I was skeptical about a purely mechanical connection, but after using...

If you do work out of your car involving a router you could make a router table to the same dimensions! But I was thinking more along the lines of a nice wooden table and some place mats, wine glasses, and candle stick holder. You could have a classy dinner date in whichever shopping mall...

Everything looks awesome but... ... ... ...still waiting on custom rear table....

I am setting up a PA front stage for the first time after using traditional component sets in every previous install of mine and my friends'. I am doing it to try something new, and see for myself whether or not I prefer the sound of "car audio" vs PA speakers. Some people prefer silk dome...

I have an Alpine 9857 that is fully functional (powers all speakers, has remote turn on signal present) but the subwoofer pre-outs send no signal and display no voltage when tested with a DMM. I don't know if the other pre-outs are functioning or not. The external fuse is not blown. What can I...

What brand voltmeter?

What would be the meaningful differences then, using these two amps as an example? Are you talking about the quality of the power/speaker/rca connectors? And heatsink design? Edit: I hate that this reads like a VERSUS thread which I know are despised. I am more interested in using these two...

The boards look identical to me... are there any differences whatsoever? AB > Crescendo in terms of customer support? American Bass http://americanbassusa.com/files/product_images/product_detail_images/VFL-350_.4_GEAR.jpg and Crescendo...

Horrible timing my man...

PM'd.

OK, I am already talking to one friend as we speak about the CDT 3-way ES-642i. I have other friends needing gear too, head units, amps, wiring, speakers, subs, everything. Since you are so close I'd rather just do a cash deal / pickup then and there to avoid PP fees / shipping costs... Why...

Hey man, I'm relatively local (east bay) and might be interested in picking up an assortment of items to use on friends' cars and my own projects as well. If I drive down to you Friday sometime in the afternoon would you have some time to talk and make some deals?

Fitting speaker adapters/spacers behind door trim, passing wire behind panels without fully removing them, finding dropped/fallen fasteners in doors/engine bay, keeping tabs on hemorrhoids, etc...

The question isn't whether or not the subs could sound decent. A talented installer can make some very poor quality subs sound decent, even great, while someone of average skill would end up with something that sounds horrible. Give the same talented installer better equipment and it will sound...

Harbor Freight Black Friday Flyer 2012 I'm looking at the digital inspection camera... even though this isn't car audio gear, it would be awesome to have for some installations.
