Hey,

Im selling my 3 day pass with wristband for Lollapalooza. 3 day passes are completely sold out and only sunday single day purchase is available.

Generally speaking, how much does it cost for a custom subwoofer enclosure cost? the car is a 2011 ford focus....probably looking to put in one sub...car is pretty small and no modifcations to the stock stereo.

thanks Chuck for the info. that looks pretty awesome except I dont understand how everything will hook up to it. So if i get an aftermarket and amp sub (which I have), how do I connect that? Does the MS8 act as the head unit? Secondly, if i get an aftermarket headunit, how does this all tie in then...sorry if thats confusing...

thank you so much for the replies...they have been really helpful!

So if i understand this correctly, the amp powers the crossover with 2 speaker wires into the crossover and what comes out of the crossover is 2 sets of speaker wires. I guess i didnt (or maybe still dont know) but the crossover basically designates the range of sound to the specific speakers?

thanks so much for the replies. So as far as what i thought looked good, I am looking at the clarion cz500. has three sets of pre outs and has blue tooth with a mountable mic for phone calls. i think it has 5 equalizer settings as well...

The problem is, using the USB interface, it uses the stereos song selection system (which I think is annoying and pointless given that the ipod interface is so intuitive). Is there anyway to bypass this without going up a ton in price (on crutchfield, the cz500 plust harness and face plate is 139.00 free shipping..).

1. do you have any other suggestions as to how to bypass it?
2. any other comparable models that I could get for cheaper (including faceplate and harness)

Secondly, with the components (woofer and tweets), how do they connect to the amp. From what I understand, one set of pre outs go out and connect to the amp the connections from the amp to the cross over confuse me because from the crossover to the tweet and woofer...there are 4 wires (2 + and 2 - wires)...are there only two speaker wires between the crossover and amp or do I combine the 2 positives on one positive speaker terminal and the two negatives on one negative speaker terminal?

Thirdly, when connecting two amps (so i saw on crutchfield...yeah sorry its newbish) there was a thing for an in and out rca cable connection on the amp...what is the out rca connection for in terms of connecting to another amp?

4th(ly???), in general how much power can the stock alternator and battery take before having to perform the big three replacement?

5th, if i plan to power all my speakers and subwoofer (so 2 tweets 4 coaxial and 1-2 subs) through amplifiers, how many distribution blocks would I need ? One for the positive and one for the negative? should I also get ones for the battery terminals?

6th, do i need to get a capacitor at any point?

holy shit...i wrote too much...but thanks in advance.

Hey all,

I am a bit confused as to how I setup a sound system in my car. I have 2002 CR-V and would like to deck out the sound system in it (since I had to sell my type s...sad).

1. I dont have all the money up front to make a complete sound system, so what order should I go in?
2. If I do go for I guess a "complete setup" (which includes 2 tweeters, 2 front 2 rear speakers ( i think same size) and room for a sub)...
   a. what kind of head unit would i need
   b. how many amps would i need to run
   c. if I have component front tweets and speakers, would this change the number of amps I need (assuming they have passive crossovers).

again im pretty newbish when it comes to sound lingo so if you could use lamens terms, that would be great!

thanks!

i see fargostreet hasnt changed... its better than reddit or youtube surfing.

Maybe I am stupid, but why does the government give you money (I am assuming both 350z owners are receiving money). Fellow fargostreeters, I would like to hear the answer in their own words before chiming in.

Sorry for starting another thread...but basically I am living maybe 200-300 meters away from one of the dorms that give off the school's wifi. Im not extremely tech savvy, but is there a way to capture this signal so that it is accessible to all of us in the apartment? what would i need to do this?

I know i should just pay for internet, but I am the only one subletting in the apartment right now and my 700 dollar a month rent for my room is killing me to pay for internet.

japanese girls in moorhead wtf...my girlfriend is japanese but then again...i live in chicago.

My Japanese girlfriend dumped me, kind of bummed but I know there's plenty more in the sea.

She was hot though, probably a 8.9

But for real, prices of all sorts of stuff will go up just because people are scared.

Any thoughts on how this is gonna affect the economy?

thanks for the replies, as far as the backpressure gauge, im not exactly sure where or what i need. The car has roughly 160k on it...could it just be the cat?

Ill check tonight if the catalytic converter is glowing after running it for a while tonight

bump

no CEL and how can i check the cat? do i need to physically take it off the exhaust?

i should also add that the noise becomes more prominent when I give it more gas (I.E low rpm acceleration with full throttle makes louder sound than half throttle acceleration)

Hi,

Im not mechanically literate, but I have noticed that at lower RPMS my car has a very gritty and loud sounding acceleration (1800-3500). I was wondering what could be the problem and what steps I could take to determine the actual problem?

I have a 2002 rsx type S with around 160k miles on it. It has an injen cold air intake. I changed the air filter around 4000 miles ago(it still made that sound before changing the filter) and I regularly change the oil and filter with mobil synthetic every 3500-5000 miles.

I also have noticed a sizeable drop in mileage (360-380 miles versus 430 on highway) but this may be attributed to the age and wear on the engine?

again, im a newb so I apologize in advance if i sound...noobish.

thanks in advance

Hey Chuck,

i was wondering if you had any amps under 200 bucks? Its for an Dual "dual" 12 inch speaker system.

also watch salt intake...salt tends to make you hold water in your subcutaneous tissue and make you bloated and watery looking.

What most guys have been saying...yes eat healthy. The best way would be to eat smaller portioned meals to keep your metabolism up.

Sure you can lose a lot of weight by portioning and eating correctly, but you should also supplement with working out. Lifting weights increases your metabolism and thus causes you to burn more calories and makes you stronger.

Im assuming your main goal is to lose weight, so supplementing some cardio in there helps to burn more calories. For me i hate cardio (even though i used to be a long distance swimmer haha) but i do it to maintain a strong cardiovascular system (it also helps me keep sharp and fresh).

The key is however to find the happy median between the three (eating, cardio and weight lifting). Doing alot of cardio may mean you burn more calories, but it can start to make you hungrier, if you are hungrier, you tend to break from your diet and eat shitty food. So aim for something like 500-700 calorie deficits from your daily requirements.

Anyways im more of a powerlifter so if you have questions regarding workouts and such you can pm me.

sell it online...I sold all my books back for 450 bucks...or sell on amazon.
