    Shallow Mount Champion

    20mpg? Is that what the display says, or what you think your getting? Or do you actually know by dividing miles driven by gallons used? I would be very impressed if you indeed get that number. I know its off topic, but you should always hand calculate. Any other way is not accurate...

    Shallow mount subs

    How is the exile sub. I found a shop somewhat near me that sells them. I'm in search of SQ mainly, but it has to be loud enough to keep up with my germs. The review of the kicker rates it lower in SQ than the clarion. Critical mass keeps popping up, but hard to find a place to buy from. I...

    Relocating Faceplate Using Cat5

    Sorry for the long reply time. I would find some small relays, either solid state or electromechanical, and design a pcb board to mount and control everything. Very simple circuit obviously.. would need aux power. Expensive though in small quantities. Other way would be a multi pole switch...

    Relocating Faceplate Using Cat5

    In theory you can extend the wires well beyond the length of the car. 150 feet I think is the limit for cat 5 for carrying signal. To do two face places, you'd need a switch. I'd get a pcb printed up to match the ribbon cable, so that you can easily solder the cable, and relays/switches to...

    Radar Detector Suggestions!

    Valentine 1. As of now, there is still no equal. GPS technology sounds cool, as long as it counts sources, and won't cover a false and a radar signal at the same time.

    Bridging 4 channel loose SQ fact or myth

    When I bridged my alpine 4 channel, I definitely gained output. However, I hated the way it sounded. The mids became really harsh, it just did not sound good. I bi-amped it instead, now its much better. Really, I should just buy a more powerful amp. Your probably in the same boat as me.

    Air Tools

    You said your opening up a shop, I'm guessing that means your going to be using these tools a lot. In that case, get good ones. The angle die grinder will be ok from anyone. Don't buy a cheap sander, or sprayer. I like to stick with Ingersoll Rand. Maybe some CP's depending on what the tool...

    Air Compressors Help, Please!!!

    Basically, if your going to be taking lug nuts off with an impact wrench, either will be ok. If your planing on using an air ratchet, the 15 gallon will probably be better. However, for ANY kind of sanding, cutting drilling , or painting, even 13.3 cfm won't keep up. You can not have a home...

    My rainbows are too laid back

    But I thought that people in the US like communism.... err I mean socialism? Because we all know facts just confuse the issue. Joe

    My rainbows are too laid back

    In general, US citizens are lemmings, swayed purely by whoever spends the most money advertising, or has the cheapest price on a product they want. NOT by the best product. Look at it this way. The people on this board probably account for .01 % of all car audio buyers. The rest of the US...

    My rainbows are too laid back

    Thats funny... I came on the board because I was tired of the junk the sell in retailers near me. It was always JL, kicker, or the polk momo. Now, all this stuff will blow away a set of stock door speakers. I can't take that away from them. The thing is, theres a next level. Here, you can...

    Shallow mount subs?

    Would anyone have other recommendations for a more SQ oriented shallow mount sub? I need on in the back of my regular cab f-350 to try and keep up with rainbow germaniums. I may be able to fit two 10's, or one 12. Pioneer is the easiest to get, but any other suggestions? The Exile looks...
