    Space efficient sound system

    i am going for sound quality also, and alpine is just that for my situation. i too have a "stealth" box. i do not listen to rap and want an overall good sound. i wanted to put a jl10w3v3 in the box, but even jl said that the alpine would provide more accurate response. thats all. its all...

    Space efficient sound system

    why would alpine make a sub that is only 4.3 inches tall if it didnt sound good. its not like a normal shallow mount, were yalking an inch shorter than most subs in its class. if you think a HO will be at home in that space, you must be joking. you might as well put a jl 10w3v3 in there if youre...

    Space efficient sound system

    that 12" DaytonHO is way to big for that box...i was reading that thread and it said the box is .8 to1.0 cubic ft., and that sub need 1.62 at the least. the 12"mach 5 would be better for that setup. but an alpine SHALLOW MOUNT would be even better...

    Space efficient sound system

    oops, i forgot about the tailgate! nevermind. that sub and amp combo is still very nice, and you can find them for half price on google shopping. just type in the part #'s and sort by price...i got the amp from hookedontronics.com for $152.50, and the sub from woofersetc.com for $79.99. good luck.

    4x4 differential fluid change??

    yes, i know it works, but when it goes out, it goes with a bang. id rather get that ticking-time bomb out of my rear end and put in a TRUE locker. by the way, that g80 code came right off of the factory sticker.:yesnod: i would say having it IS better than NOT having it though, even if its weak...

    4x4 differential fluid change??

    the g80 code is as follows: AXLE POSITRACTION, LIMITED SLIP. i dont think the g80 is a TRUE locker. i cant wait to get my eaton e-locker installed! i used 80-90w w/ torque modifier, its working better than it was. i called GM and they said it needed modifier. i got a look at the g80 while the...
