AARON! What the F you up to this year??? I'm working a lot can hardly get on here but figure you must have hit the road with the Subie by now, and I think you need a louder BOV. I'm so busy I still have the iPikes on the car have to get them off there lol. And I lost my alpine 500rms amp, how the hell do you lose an amp??? I don't know, sure its here in a safe place, I took it out about a year ago and stashed it. Have a kenwood on there right now its ok but think the alpine was nicer sq and want to verify. Should see 70s this week (and rain of course) but you know summer is going to get here some day.
Hey brotha... long time...!!!
Haven't seen you round here in forever..!!
I'm still on jackstands in the garage..
Fuckin clutch/halfshafts/wheel bearing...
Then there is the vacuum/tune issue I've been chasing, driving me nutz..
I've got ZERO motivation right now, in a slump, had to put my buddy of 12+yrs down, back on 4/19, haven't spent an hour in the garage since for some reason...
Otherwise, things are going alright, I'll be out of the slump soon enough, I hope...
Soon, we should find time and get together...
Thanks for thinkin bout me and askin..!!

Sorry to hear about your dog man. I definitely dread the day my dog has to pass-on. Downside to loving a pet.. you will usually outlive them.
Thanks man, very true....
I had been preparing for it for a long time...
I wanted him to have some "time in the sun" before it had to be over and we got that...
It's not something I recommend though...

yeah, you can never prepare yourself for it. I got REALLY lucky that mine passed peacefully at home.
Indeed...
I wish I could have had that... the 30min car ride each way wasn't... well...

I wish I could say the same, my dog of 14years was put down by my mother. When I was in OKC, I visited my hometown every other month and one day I didn't see my old dog. I asked my mother she gave me the "he ran away" story... which I knew right away it was BS because my sis told me she took him to get put down a while ago.
Either way it goes he was an old old fart, about 14years old and had only 4 teeth left, couldn't chew food, was getting too fat, wasn't active anymore. So in a way I was happy that his now resting just sad I could not say my last goodbye (sh*t I miss him)
I'll admit..... I had someone drive me. (same amount of time)
So did I, for sure, I was useless to anyone...

I've spent every day with mine... In his old age he had special needs (would go up/down steps) He limped really bad... He was mostly blind with cataracts(sp?) and couldn't really hear out of one ear...
Someone told me I would know when it was time, and that morning, I think he knew as well as I did...
I'm glad his suffering is over, although he never complained in the slightest, not once...
oh how I miss him....

That sucks rocks, I've lost a couple and it was tough I don't even want another dog, have not for years, not sure if I ever will but they are a ton of fun. Most people I know run right out and get another one.
Been working like crazy for a couple months plus (and they say it will continue), can't complain, yet don't have time to do anything. Managed to finish a patio expansion down the back of my garage so I have a nice place to grill now. Got the yard looking good and some other summer projects in the works and got to thinking about how weak my midbass is in the car. Going to direct some funding at that soon here, get me some midbass of one kind or another.
I need to install a timing kit in my car before it blows. Its fun have to pull everything off the front of the engine just about, right against the frame, FWD are so much fun in there. My blower switch wiring started to melt one day and stunk up the car, oops. Have to rip into that and solder it up its a bad connection in the plug, messed with it last fall. I put a halfshaft and a-arms in it what, last year or so. Dude, at least you still have a cool car I got rid of all mine. Some day I will pick up something.
Summer is on its way you gotta get planning! This is going to be do-it year for me, I'll have some extra funding for all those little projects I put off. I hope I don't have to work a bunch of weekends in the summer, that would suck. When I need some ambition, I'm going to back this thread up and check out the furry walls in your subie Glad to hear you are doing ok over there on the other side (of the state).
Pioneer 880PRS~boston comps/alpine coax on Kappa 4 Z~back to Alpine mrd-m500 v12 on pyle 15s IB
Lol... right on man... Glad to hear things are busy..
I'm right smack dab in the center of the palm though... not close, but not far... lol...

I seem to have gotten over the "funk" i've been in... didn't touch the car for almost a month since Red Dog past... I think i'm ok now...
1st... The 701 is gone/sold and the 9860 is still FS... I simply realized that I wasn't going to sit for hours tuning... not in a car without A/C, WITH headers and 3" turbo back..
2nd... While no where near as elegant as the 9860/701 combo, it's not NEARLY as complex and bitchy to work with...
JVC KW-AV70BT...
Screen rez is terrible, but I don't care, won't be watching much in the car... It's got some really nice features for the money...
It's got some pretty cool EQ features... this is the normal mode..
Pro mode...
I hope to God I can get this thing to make me sound right... I've got a subsonic for the subs in the amp, so that's a big help...
With the dismissal of the 701, amp rack changed... (sorry bout the pic here)
Finally upgraded the main battery ground from 4 to 1/0awg..

Camera washout of bare metal and dielectric grease...
Locked down (just before Eastwood rust encap sprayed) plastic snap gromet installed through floor..
Note hole to the left, looks brown... former ground pass through and DIRECTLY over the exhaust... 8-10" to the right, perfect place directly in the corner of the trunk..??
Old, poorly thought out power center... (mainly due to short ground wire)
Recovered the baseplate..
J-hooks
Slots..
Keepers..
Complete.... Now including including 300A main fuse (front and now rear 300A) Much cleaner and safer (Accuvolt terminals not exposed as bad)
Whew... what a whirlwind...
Thanks for lookin...!!!

Nice to see some progress. Sorry about your dog, tho.
So is the car still on stands or did you get it running too?
Jay'
Thank you Sir... and yeah, was his time...
The car is on the ground as of last night... Haven't fired her up yet, still finishing a wideband O2 sensor install and waiting on a major part...
I'm hoping tomorrow (5/9) afternoon I might be driving...

Was sounding pretty good, no real sub obviously, and the midbass wasn't up to level yet... otherwise, the phone mic kinda sucks too...

The kenwood BT mics work great. i think where you have it positioned is going to make it sound pretty terrible.
Just like everyone says with car audio - the install is everything - doesnt matter how good of a speaker you have if its not pointed in the right direction - same goes for that mic.
I had it right in the center of my instrument cluster and people couldnt tell i was using a BT mic.
2005 Subaru Outback 2.5 XT Limited
POLK SR5250 - POLK SR124DVC - KENWOOD XR-4S - KENWOOD XR-1S - JBL MS-8
Thanks, I doubt I'll even use it... I mean I can hardly hear my phone as it is.. lol..
I'll try it.. it was a quick easy place (the switch blank had a hole for an LED already)
If it doesn't work, I'll move it..

Had nickle tiffany style RCAs installed to make it closer to a REF than any Continuum/705
The JVC is out in favor of a Pioneer DEH-80PRS
Little demo vid, no tuning, just crossovers set and amp initially set..
