    The kids are all right

    Very true on battery components environmental impact . Lead was bad enough, new stuff is a whole new level. There is really no free safe energy when you really think about it.

    The kids are all right

    All this made me think of seeing the same 4 people doing their afternoon horsie ride at Amelia Island beach every time I work there lately, as well as a large number of horses scattered in local rural areas , as well as having an equestrian center here. Gas cars may be the same way some day...

    Well look what followed me home...

    Good find. Might be one check ball in wrong place or something stupid done wrong if went back to shop several times. Just bought a Bissel pet pro cleaner partly for the couches at home. Haven't got to try it out in a vehicle yet, but may be a help in something like this.

    Whistlin Diesel - Hellcat destroyed

    Ain't watching, & ain't posting anything stupider than my few personal projects anywhere. Not supporting their mediocre stupidity. Now sell me a donor supercharged hemi for cheap & I may drop it between gm fender wells. Something good can come from something stupid.

    Late model stand alone aftermarket stereo.

    I always ask the harder questions if I ask a question at all, that's what makes me the person other people ask questions to. Stopped by my local shop that gave me a wrong jl audio sub to check on proper one coming in. Chick that did the screw up was fired & I'll be waiting a while more...

    BF Goodrich RWL tires

    Wesley's was sold out years ago. Good news on that subject though, found out last year from a friend on a painting forum that purple power degreaser, which you can buy in up to 5 gal containers, is same main chemical for much cheaper. I used to be big on the BFG rwl's, sounds like all that...

    Sound cutting out Radio input

    I've had a few odd problems over the years. More info could be helpful here. Brand of unit, happen when you hit a bump or any other variables, etc. Any other notable noise issues or anything? Right off the bat, nothing really points to installer error given your description of bluetooth/radio...

    Late model stand alone aftermarket stereo.

    Have heard of mmats, but don't think I've seen em sold around here or used by anyone I know. One of their sound quality amps looks worth saving up for if they really do have a superior sound as they claim. Actually built here is getting pretty rare these days. Will have to ask around about them...

    Late model stand alone aftermarket stereo.

    Think I had like the first edition of that book years ago. Swapped in the huge ds18 elite amp for my full range, it disappointingly doesn't sound as clear as my little old kicker amp. Another stereo shop told me that series was for spl ,not sq & had a lot of distortion. May keep it for amp for...

    Late model stand alone aftermarket stereo.

    Yea, fold is what I meant by 2 sides. my understanding about a round pipe & aero flared ends isn't just noise reduction, but efficiency, some claiming 3db increase in sound on competition setups. I understand the effects of flared ends on internal intake manifold setups for instance. Just like...

    Late model stand alone aftermarket stereo.

    Yea, pretty sure my math is right, but that sounds odd too. Without doing math, that box I.D. would probably work out to between 1.5 to 1.75 actual cf accounting for large speaker intrusion &port area. Over 6" tube still sounds big though. doing port with wood slot would work out to a 2 x 10 ID...

    Got me another full range amp today from nearby shop. It is used, but they tested in front of me. Its a Ds18 elite series z3k4 amp. it's a class ab, so kinda big , but 4 ohm rated @150w x 4 @.01thd. New online average$359, got for 150.Amazon.com: DS18 Elite Z-3K4 Car Audio Amplifier in Black -...

    Late model stand alone aftermarket stereo.

    Got the rear boxes built & trying out before neatening up carpet & wiring. Re aimed front tweeters better to drivers ears. Sounding much better now, though rears don't sound as good as fronts. I know they don't need to. Wonder how much of the difference is from location & from fronts being 8" &...

    Elco 300 Utility Wagon

    Lookin good Doug. Those bird fender vents look pretty natural molded in. Forget if I mentioned, but before my mig/ tig welder days, I used to have Bowtie signal covers. Out back I put screw inserts in marker lights & fit them behind the sheet metal .In the recess where light sat, I made an...

    Anyone have pictures of metal filler areas? (Quarter panel)

    I've heard both good and bad from others, but I've used usc all metal with no issues for larger spots such as these. it's just fiberglass resin with aluminum dust. I sanded back down to it when redoing my aluminum bedcover over 10 years later, was good. Had uncovered for a few years over a steel...

    Got in a few hrs today. Fished speaker wire from center of door wire loom loop into door & up through a rubber plug to insides. Removed the 4 tweeters from dash & put 1 each on speaker pods, need to cut more angle adapters to get pointed at my ears better. Installed the 8's. Starting to sound...
