  1. The truck that I used way back then in competition was a 78 Toyota SR5 pick up . It had twin 10 inch subs built into the rear wall behind the seats 4 four inch midrange speakers built into the lower portion of the door. they covered a small portion of the bass , dome tweeters in the upper section of the doors 5.5 coaxial speakers in the door pillars, I used a Nachamichi TD 1200 head unit that went to a electric crossover EQ that controlled 5 amps built into the truck one mounted way up in the dash behind the glove box two under the passenger seat another under the drivers seat and a purpose built sub amp mounted to the lower section next to the seat at the door jam. Small small interior in this truck. with test equipment it pushed 110 decibel's with no distortion through out the entire range. to make this all work I had to have a custom alternator made for the truck with a higher output and squeeze in a larger battery. Had a couple of large capacitor in line for the bass and mid amps. I used nothing but Focal speakers back then and to this day they make some of the best quality sounding speakers. All very high rated speakers for the 1 watt 1 meter specification. I sold Alphasonic amps back then and used all there amps in this one. there amps were way under rated on true power output but were so clean. fun stuff but I wonder at times why I have this continues ringing in my ears
  2. This is so sad, This world just keeps getting sicker and sicker. We put our trust in these people to move us safely around the world and it only takes one person to destroy it. I feel for those families loss
  3. Traffic here has gotten worse in CA in the last few years. If you flip the rat to some out here now they might shoot back. a lot of knuckle heads here. Where in CA are you headed to ? The 80 Strip through Nevada I never got used to the triple trailer trucks passing me at 90 mph
  4. Starting to really see the ADHD show up in these threads. I am in the walnut creek concord area and use to work in San Jose. Now I understand your tire question BoomBoom. use to drive on average 45 k a year no ford would have held up to that and I went through a set of tires yearly
  5. Prius"s are the scourge of the earth. BoomBoom are you in SF bay area? and how did this go from not buying a Ford to Priass and traction control lol
  6. Could have sworn i just heard my computer whispering "Just wait puny humans "
  7. So as it thaws out and melts, Women show up that were buried in the snow banks. Hmm have to get a big bag of salt and go see what i can find in the snow
  8. Happy birthday
  9. For good street tires that wont break the bank Michlen is making pretty good tires now with a good quite ride and a variety of ratings. I have used the Bridgestones and had great luck with them on my jeep that mostly lived on the road. a good performance tire is not going to give you high milage at all. Soft compounds wear fast. On my porsche years ago i only got about 8k per rear set and about 10k for the front but those where a true performance tire that was made for that particular rim and car by goodyear. poeple recomendations seem to run by brands they know, A lot of companies make great tires now. Depending on the weight of your car and how you really want to drive it side wall construction can be as important as the face of the tire. More sidewll plys make for a better turning car unless they are low profile. with that all said find a good furom on line for your make and modle of car and see what tires everyone else has had good luck with on a car that is the same as yours. Good Luck
  10. Maui Brewings Big Wave is pretty tasty
  11. Congrats and isnt amazing how much they change your life from the first day you bring them home
  12. I use to build custom sound systems in cars in the SF bay area. I built some of the first multi amped trucks seen in competition in the real early eighties. Then we went for true concert sound well balanced and clean. I quit building sound systems when I started seeing my clients readjusting the levels to do what they called then thumping. Waste of my time and great equipment.
  13. Happy birthday
  14. Nowadays it comes down to who has better traction control and sticky tires as to who will win a race. The HP game has gotten to the point that the cars can break traction with ease at almost any speed below 80 if the traction control is turned off.
  15. Happy birthday.. As a present you get to nade every one once
  16. FU BOOM BOOM!! usually what I hear before being shot

  19. Nothing like old family films to get a good discussion going
  20. Unfortantly there are a lot of nut cases here in CA. Its sad that they dont realize that flagg and the men that fought for its freedom is what gave them the right to act like idiots.
  21. Im Batman Just Kidding, Maybe. I have been playing for a few years on the COD2 servers as BDS1961. Have been asked quite a few times what it means. Its as simple as my initials and year. My name is Rob Smith and I live in northern California about 25 miles inland from San Francisco. I am a retired regional engineer that use to over see apartment complex's from Monterey CA to Seattle Washington. I also had my own construction company serving the industrial and commercial industries ranging from Hospitals to the power company here in CA PG&E . I have been playing here on the COD2 servers for years as a way to distress from when I was working and have stayed around due to this group having a great clan membership. The conversations amongst this group enhance the game play to a new level. I look forward to keeping up with those that I have met on line over the years and to the new players I have not met yet. And if I shoot you in the back or bash you, Don't take it personal, I know you all would do the same.
  22. Happy Birthday Starfire. hope you are having a great day
