    Anyone add a car audio/entertainment system to their vehicle?

    I've been considering adding a couple of PS2s and a couple of headrest monitors to my 99 Chevy Tahoe for my kids to entertain themselves. (The PS2s will be for games and DVDs.) I do all the electrical work and modifications myself, but I've never done the video in an automobile. Has anyone...

    Box Building Tips

    When building a sub box, here's a couple tips. Never have sides parallel. Use glue to make each chamer airtight. Use the thickest MDF you can afford. The thicker, the less flex it will have. (I have in the past laminated 3/4" MDF with 3/4" plywood. It was overkill, but the bass was very...

    4x4 acting weird, excessive engine idle

    Ok, so this morning, I got on the road, and it was icy. I switched to 4H (pushed the lever forward until it engauged), it seemed like I was either spinning more than I was with 2H or the transmission wasn't shifting. I could hear the RPMs (and see it on the gauge) go high, but I wasn't moving...
