    Well, it's been a while...

    I joined the Darkside and am now a driver of a BMW 330i. I gave the 4Runner to my cousin before it recently passed away due to the transmission. I miss The Runner, but the Bimmer is so nice to drive also. I'm gunna miss the days of a reliable car, but at least my Aunt's BF owns a BMW repair...

    To switch or not to switch!

    Well I just finished switching them and the new ones sound a lot better. Not quite the satisfaction of going from stock, but the highs are smoother and louder.

    Someone broke my bug shield!

    Nope, those knobs broke off a while ago somehow (all of em). So there was a bunch of glue in those spots. I took it off tho with a good amount of work.

    To switch or not to switch!

    I got some new version Type S speakers put into the back and I have the previous model in the front. The new ones do sound a bit better I think, especially after the installer redid his old install. You think I should spend the time to switch the new ones to the front? I would also do some...

    Someone broke my bug shield!

    Went to my car after school today and noticed thebug shield looked weird. As I got closer I noticed part of it about 8 inches long snapped off and the person put it back lying where its sorta supposed to be. I think someone got their backpack stuck on it as they were walking between cars. So...

    How long can you idle on a tank of gas?

    It will prob be fine for a newer car, but I idled my 97 for about 15-20 minutes one time, when I went to go, the car started going in and out like it was going to stall. So I try not to idle long times anymroe. Maybe rev it once in a while to go through the rpms

    Audio Amplifier Question on settings?

    you need some tools to do that properly. For now just set your HU to the max you will play it, then turn the knob down to make the sub the volume you want. If you can, try to get it so its not clipping which is the point of the gain knob

    Audio Amplifier Question on settings?

    No, I was kinda unclear. First HPF is High Pass filter, it will only let freq. above that point go through. So for the sub, it should be set about 25-30 because most subs shouldnt play that low. LPF is Low Pass Filter. It lets only freq. below that point go through. So 80-125 is where it...

    Audio Amplifier Question on settings?

    LPF should be set to no higher than 125. Depending on your mid strength. HPF for the sub should be set at 25-30. Bassboost CAN be set at about 40hz with as much gain as you want. it just boosts the db at and around 40hz
