    Car/Mobile Audio - History and current set ups

    Very, very nice! That enclosure is at least 80 hours of work! I have never owned ANY Kicker equipment in the past... just couldn't ever do it (from a quality standpoint). Then, I bought my Weekend Warrior HKD4005 5th wheel in 2022 and it's LOADED with Kicker equipment. Too much shit to replace...

    Car/Mobile Audio - History and current set ups

    For me, it all started in 1991. My brother brought home a Majestic Amplifier and two Rockford Fosgate Series 1, 12" subs. We built a basic enclosure to go in the back of his 1981 Toyota Pickup truck that had a carpet kit in it and a Shell. Just a basic box to sit in the middle, firing up into...

    Car/Mobile Audio - History and current set ups

    I'm back. With that... so will be my Topics. The Audio Hookup thread reminded me of a thread I always wanted to go over on here, before I was unceremoniously banned. 1. What is YOUR history with Car/Mobile Audio? Please post pics of past Audio systems, if you have them! 2. What is your...

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    Buddy... Alpine has a really nice BT receiver for... literally... $100. Alpine. Not Kenwood, Pioneer or any of that other crap you folks along the 210 are talked into.

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    Wayne Harris, Mark Fukuda, Mark Eldridge, Todd Matsubara, Richard Clark, Erik and his brother Patrick Holdaway were my hero's as a teenager. Other kids liked Motocross guys or Football/Baseball players. I followed guys that made clean sound. So... what amp did you end up with?

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    A lot of amps have been stable to 1 ohm for about 20 years or more. Fosgate used to make a 50m amp that was stable to 1/2 ohm, to be used as a "cheater" amp... much like Orion and a few others. The reason they come alive (as most know) is because you are doubling the output power. That's all...

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    Just curious as to why you feel 2 ohm is "ideal"? It provides more stress on the amp (shorter life) and higher noise levels (some of us CAN hear it). All of this is solved by spending slightly more $ on a bigger subwoofer amp. In my 34 years of being an Audio Installer, I've never needed to run...

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    I disagree. Audison has some AMAZING equipment these days that will rival anything from the past, if not destroy it (I have a closet FULL of 1999-2000 PPI PC Chrome amps, 90's Fosgate Punch amps, Boston Acoustics Pro Series and Z Series speakers, Morel speakers, JL Subs - 10W3 V1/V3/V3, 10W7 -...

    Anyone have a hook up on car audio?

    Unfortunately, I don't have a hookup on equipment anymore. I just shop online these days... which is usually better. I JUST ordered a Zapco amp from Woofers Etc.com and it was not only on sale with 40% off... they sent me the next model up (heavy upgrade) for the same cost JUST to expedite the...

    When did you first go the Glamis?

    First Glamis trip ever; 1984. My Dad had previously bought two Honda three wheelers in 1983; a BRAND NEW Christmas Edition ATC 70 for my brother and a 1979 ATC 110 for him and my Mom. We have an acre of land and we learned how to ride there. In 1984, Parents were going through a divorce and...

    Racer Front Engine Sand Car - Why?

    On a car of this level... I would expect something along the lines of Zodiac Cable Routing Clamps... Any Mid Level Machinist could crank out a drum of them on a weekend, as most of us know.
