I worked at Western CNC (Ashcraft Racing's Machine shop) for a spell and was there in 2019 when ICE audited the employees and they lost about 80% of their workforce. It turned the whole company upside down and showed how much Danny Ashcraft was relying on Illegals to make his profits. My job was...

I never had any issues (ON BONE STOCK SUSPENSION, BARS, STEERING STEM), we routinely spent +/- 90 days a year out there... in the dunes. It's a big place... there's fresh sand in a lot of areas that caged vehicles don't even venture to. Not sure if you remember but I had a RZR that led a lot...

I used it to find old pricing on Tom Pro's website when he started to bend me over on my Hayabusa Car build. He changed the price on the frame by a couple of G's and said he didn't. I showed him the old website screenshot and that was the day I began to realize the best Hayabusa Car builder was...

Looks like an amazing trip, glad you had a great time. With that said, it's highly disheartening to see such a lack of Dirtbikes and Quads in these groups, these days. I'm 46... have zero desire to be in a vehicle with a seat, in the dunes.

Yes, they are. They still have a very good reputation around here, which is very uncommon these days.

Harvey at the Glamis Fab shop will take it so he can say he did the FIRST and SECOND install... EVER... on a sand car. Even though my brother (or Greengo, but I think it was my Bro) had a setup before the Honda car he's all proud of. 🤣

I would have to dig real deep but I will try to get some up for this topic, if I can find them. This was back when we had to develop film... 🤣

Without knowing your location, my suggestion would be to take it to the closest Al an Ed's location. I know John at the Vista location has stepped up his skillset/training considerably and now has a very good Installer in his shop. I would handle it for you but I have too much on my plate...

1998: I bought my Integra and had serious plans for it (Show car, Import Tuner cover car, etc). Alpine 3 disc in dash CD changer -Later replaced with a 4 volt Alpine 7977 (3) PPI PC 2400 amps (S/N ratio of 115 dB, cleanest I had heard at that time) Boston Pro 6.5's moved over from the 4runner...

My first Audio system was in my 1987 4Runner. My Grandmother passed away in 1995 and left us some money, after never really spending any time with her for my 16 years on the planet, to that point. At the time, I was being raised by a Single Mom and my goal was to become a High End Custom Audio...

That's awesome. What was your roommates name? I'm in Vista and that's where all of this started... and I knew most of the guys doing work back then: Joel Salz at DOW, Mike and his crew at North County Mobile Electronics... Nathan Hall (Greengo's old roommate) from Al and Ed's but also shops...

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...

My current setups... 2016 Civic: Alpine ILX-W650 Head Unit Rockford 5 Channel amp JL Audio C2 650 Coaxials, all doors. JL Audio 10W0 (premade JL Enclosure) Stinger Sound Deadening throughout 2014 4Runner: (yet to be Installed, had a kid right after I bought all of the product) Alpine...

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...

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...

Caution: It will cost double that of said Ranger.

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.

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?

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...

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...
