If you have the room in your ride would you have big speakers or not?

systems add mad weight so you have to decide what is more important to you agility, or bumping through the hood

all show and no go...

like the rsx from last year

The rsx was a show car, they are good people its not like they were trying to say it was fast or anything.

wasn't bashing them at all just making a comparison

oh yeah i know, i was just giving my opinion.

My car came with a JBL system, and when I got the car, I took out the subwoofer and the speakers. With my blower going and the exhaust work, the car makes enough noise without any music.

wear ear plugs

wear ear plugs


Why? The sound is orgasmic.

Yes it is but after awhile your still going to want to hear that when your older. No shame in wearing ear plugs for long drives, esp on this rally it takes a toll on your ears if you got the music blaring and your car is loud already.

Umm, dude, I've been to an AC/DC concert and I'm going to see Motley Crue in a month. My hearing is doomed anyway.

you deserve it for listining to Motley crue DUDE.

Fast Cars and Metal.

fast cars yes, motley crue and the word metal-no. Motley crue is not metal.

their glam rock not metal

Are you joking? Tommy Lee is one of the best Rock Drummers of all time. Nikki Sixx is lord of the Thunderbird Bass. Maybe Hard Rock is the correct term. Vince I can do without, but the rest of the band kicks some major ass.

and AC/DC is the greatest rock band of all time, hands down.

their glam rock not metal

or cock rock.

never heard that one, nice

this could be argued to no end on who is the best rock band ever, so i'll put my 2 cents in and say the who is the best rock band ever. But as far as the crue, the only reason they are famous is not because of their songs (they only had what 2 hit songs maybe if that) they fucked famous people.

ac/dc is a good band but sorry not the greatest of all time.

ac/dc not bad but its got to come down to the who or the dead for the greatest band ever

I dont think many people would say the dead, beatles, who, stones, etc would though. The dead just had a huge cult following, kinda like Phish do now but they would never get the title of best band.

dude any band that has that kind of following, i mean come on people followed the dead around for years at a time

yeah i know but the general public would never put that type of label on the band as the greatest of all time.. maybe one of the greatest.

If you have the room in your ride would you have big speakers or not?
Nope. The Buick has ALOT of room too.

Nick

i have L7's in my car right now but im lookin for somthin lighter i just like to hear the base a little more

Upgrade the stock headunit and speakers. It makes a world of difference and dosn't weigh more. I added an amp for my 6x9's (it has 6 speakers from factory, too much for h/u) in the GN. But it is right over the rear axle where I need weight.

Nick

I have stock speakers in the accord and with a good head unit and accord i can out bump the gangstas

my lumina has 4 speakers and i turn the bass all the way up and it rocks!!!

yeah thats what mine has but the back speakers are like stock 11's good i love having the special edition :)

I look out my rearview and i see my back window shaking.

haha mine isn't quite that good but she gets the job done, drowns out the sound of the turbo, so im happy.

yeah i dont got a turbo, but i have euro windsheild wipers!!!

haha we all no new wipers are the secret to power, the ricer menatlity

I dont even know why makes my car a euro editon anyway. 94 chevy lumina euro.. any ideas?

that one i'll leave to someone a little more knowledgeable.

Oh i thought you knew alot about cars like everyone else.

i do just dont know how the hell you get a erou domestic kinda mind-bogling

im pretty sure its just like the body style or maybe because it came with a spolier

hmm intresting, i'll have to look in to this.

yeah but thats just a waste of time.

true, but now you've got me intrested so i've got to check it out.

I'm sticking with the windsheil wipers and the spoiler as the reason for the euro.

yeah it makes sense just still think a ero chevy sounds weird

they just wanted to sound cool.

I dont even know why makes my car a euro editon anyway. 94 chevy lumina euro.. any ideas?
It was the nicer/sportier model of the lumina. Like a 2005 Impala LS vs. SS.

Nick

Nick why you know this, ill never know

I have infinate knowlage of too many cars. Did you know that chevettes are rwd?

Nick

so the only thing thats sporty about it is the spolier?

yeah i know that. Im pretty knowledgeable, just dont know everything, now useless trivia im your man.

so the only thing thats sporty about it is the spolier?
Correct me if I am wrong, differences.
---------------Lumina-------Euro
reverse lights --Chevrolet-----symbol
wheels---------steel w/ cap--alluminum
exterior--------black door line-color matched, spoiler, sportier colors
interior---------bench's-------buckets, digi dash, leather option

Nick

All bow to Nick, hes got us on this one.

I grew up in a very GM baised city.

Nick

i grew up in the south, with the except of my group of friends theirs nothing but pickum-up trucks

Nick

Maybe i have a stripped down model. Mine dosent have anything except the bucket seats and the spolier.. It really dosent matter its a POS.

It could depend on the year/options too. I am basing that on two of my buddies old cars.

Nick

Oh ok.

OK so with the 12" speakers and the class D 1800watt amp and the bypass battery and the box in the trunk it might add up to like 120lbs. thats too much weight? My girl friend doesn't weigh that much and I tote her ass around.

that shouldn't be to bad

I'm not real big on all the getto beats, i listen to hevey stuff and the kick from 2 12's adds a nice effect.

after whoring, weigh reduction should be your next priority

yeah lose the engine first you dont need that, and the steering box is dead weight. The list goes on

ANy one in the florida area want to go to the SLIPKNOT show with me? it's in march.

Make sure you show her that...

im sure she'd be so happy with it

girls like that.

For all of you that like systems go hop in a BMW, Jag, Benz, etc. Their stock systems are awsome. My mom's XKR coupe is incredible with it's stock Alpine.

Nick

making me feel bad nick all i have is an aiwa :(

In my STi, I have a Alpine deck with 2003 WRX speakers. It sounds better than the 03 with stock head unit and better than the STi with nothing.

Nick

my systems cheap but it drowns out most of the thugs blaring rap so it works for me.

When people blare music next to me, I rev louder than their system.

Nick

i just turn mine up its so loud it drowns out my turbo, and its the stock speakers.

I can't drown out my blower...I've tried. The thing whines like a starving baby...

mines loud as hell, my stereo's simply louder.

It is amazing to me how loud a V6 and H4 can be. Last summer I drowned out a Viper GTS with the GN. I was very surprised.

Nick

that may not be a good thing nick, it isn't supposed to make that much noise :)

that may not be a good thing nick, it isn't supposed to make that much noise :)
It was coming from the exhaust. It wasn't like a bunch of nails in a tin can sound coming from my engine bay.

Nick

Nick

oh okay, just checking up on you there

No *knock in my cars.

Nick

v6 grand national with five cylinders wort of detonation

and blown headgaskets...

Nick

yeah that too

The rsx was a show car, they are good people its not like they were trying to say it was fast or anything.

the RSX had now system we had a full spare tire. ha music would have at least helped us out from hearing peters snoring...

you guys didint even have a radio?

Make sure you show her that...

I did and she laughed about it then hitt me.

haha did you expect any other result from that, come on shaun

Well It 's not that big of a deal, and it's the truth.

The only radio that I listend to on the rally was the CB.

Nick

I got a crobra 29 with a 400 watt linner amp, with a directional antenna I can burn other radios, tv's, home sterios, anything that receves a sign threw the air, up. It's fun to drive down a street and oppen every single gargage door. But seriously it's a good radio and i have been useing it for years.

Upgrade the stock headunit and speakers. It makes a world of difference and dosn't weigh more. I added an amp for my 6x9's (it has 6 speakers from factory, too much for h/u) in the GN. But it is right over the rear axle where I need weight.

Nick
exactly i put a dual sub box right in that high spot over the rear axle and under the 6x9, 2 infinity kappa perfects, they weight a ton, but in a car that already is almost 2 tons whats another 200 lbs, just up the boost 2 more pounds :mrgreen:

I have infinate knowlage of too many cars. Did you know that chevettes are rwd?

Nick
yes there also rear engine aircooled, i think unless im dyslexic and i got the wrong model

yes there also rear engine aircooled, i think unless im dyslexic and i got the wrong model
Nope, the chevette was like a rwd caviler (70's-80's). You are thinking about the Corvair (50'-60'). That was RR and dubed "unsafe at any speed". It was America's porsche.

Nick
but the real queation is is is more unsafe than the pinto.
hmmmmm

nothing is more unsafe than the pinto. Car go BOOOM

yes when you want it to blow up, and also when the hell is feels like blowing up, kinda wierd, ford messed up there

but the real queation is is is more unsafe than the pinto.
hmmmmm

Ralph Nadar made the book "unsafe at any speed". It seiced the production of the little roadster/coupe'. The fuel tank was just behind the bumper.

Nick

1986 grand national hardtop
Are you from turbobuicks.com?

Nick

nope why do you ask?

I was talking to a guy from there that is interested in going this year. I have an 87 hard top. :) But I don't trust it to make it all the way.

Nick

yea mine should make it fine it went from ga to here non stop only for gas straight 15 hours

hey white out, get ur ass in the chat

I'm on.

Nick

I blew a speaker, what a bitch.

yeah i have a sinking suspesion that i did the same, one of my speakers is kinda buzzy.
