    Storing the Car for the winter.

    My dad has a seasonal work truck in PA that sits for the Winter...so it can get really cold. What we did was change the oil, got a high rating of fuel filled in the tank (93 Ultra...fuel is usually good for about 90 days before it becomes poor at combusting), put all radiator fluid in, and plan...

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    Well, what size box and tuning was your enclosure? Why is it that you are the only one who claims sealed is better, whereas the others say ported w7's sound nicer? I'm just wondering, not trying to be rude. I own a 13w7 ported...and it's hella nice.

    Power Acoustik 2.4 Farad Capacitor...

    Actually...capacitors have helped. That's why many people use them. They don't work in every application, but they do help a lot of the time. They are a band-aid to a real fix, but I don't see how it will hurt. The digital readout uses virtually no power at all...it really won't affect...

    JL Audio 13W7: Sealed or Ported?

    Yeah, that's what I thought. It is 1ohm capable...but not anything lower. I have the same setup almost...and it booms! Ported definately for a box. Wiring? I did not do, so I'm not 100% sure on what's the proper way.

    Power Acoustik 2.4 Farad Capacitor...

    That's what I said. I explained how it worked to my dad, but he kept saying my car wasn't made for a stereo system, and I'll kill it. I told him that I just need to get a better alternator and proper wiring and it will be fine. He still wanted me to get a cap though...it's alright, because it...

    Power Acoustik 2.4 Farad Capacitor...

    Yeah, thank you for the information...It is a SEXY capacitor. The reason for buying it is because my dad told me I had to buy it and install it with my stereo, or I'd have to take out my stereo system because it will "destroy the car". I told him that a HO Alternator is what I should upgrade...

    Power Acoustik 2.4 Farad Capacitor...

    Thank you for the links...and here is a link to the cap that I bought. It's EXACTLY the same. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=75387&item=5728753092&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW I think I got a good deal for it, considering ebay has them new for $80-85 + $15...

    Power Acoustik 2.4 Farad Capacitor...

    Wow, thanks for the quick reply...it seems as if you really like PA, haha. Anyway, with 1500w RMS total, should the cap help prevent dimming? Did I get the right cap? The guy at the shop where I got it said a 1.5 would work, but the 2.4 will be better because it stores more power. Is that...

    Power Acoustik 2.4 Farad Capacitor...

    Hello everyone. I just got back from Canal Street in Manhatten, New York yesterday. There were TONS of car audio shops with everything from Alpine to the Radio Shack brand of Tandy speakers. Anyway, I was looking for a capacitor because my pickup truck has dimming lights when the BASS hits...

    What the hell is going on with these fads?

    Hey everybody, I've been into car audio now for 3 years, and I've noticed that there are fads. It's pretty nuts. What's the deal with HiFonics Bx1500's and such? Last year, it was the JBL bp1200.1 amp, and now it's been the HiFonics 1500 amp. I've also noticed that recently there have been a...

    Help me design a ported box for e10k (2003 series)

    Well, right now he has a 1989 Wolfsburg Edition Jetta. He has probably about few cubic feet to work with. I don't think that the box will need more room, but it's probably around there. I'd give exact measurements of his trunk size, but he's out at work right now with it. I'm guessing about...

    Help me design a ported box for e10k (2003 series)

    Hey all...I have a nice stereo system in my car, but my brother has NOTHING bumping in his Jetta. Right now, I have an Elemental Designs e10K subwoofer (2003 edition) sitting in my room, and I've decided that I'd hook my brother up with it...All he has to do is buy the materials for a box. We...

    Arguing over foolish things is stupid, that's what I was just saying in my post.
