  1. hmmm good point, im guessing that it wouldnt be a good idea t keep my adams products in the garage this summer out here in AZ? or do you think they will be okay. most it gets in there as long as it is kept shut is about 95-100 tops...
  2. Jason is ignoring me... he dont like me no more was actually wondering if itd be possible to do it with those lol. might be able to if i spent enough time with em
  3. thanks guys!!! found out today the price of my paint. only 60 bucks for half gallon each of factory color and clearcoat!!! (colormatching my body kit, color is kalapana black) so now all i have to do is get my hands on a pc and gen 2 pads lol. spose the pads will be ordered extremely soon. may have to make a socal run and hijack Jasons PC for a few days lol
  4. Jason, grab my number off a certain CORE section and give me a call soon. want to run some things by ya(and shoot the s**t while trying to convince ya to come out to AZ again and have a beer!! lol)
  5. not having a shop paint my kit. painting it myself. learned a long time ago how to paint. just never tried a pc to cut and buff. was wondering if anyone had ever tried it. but i spose either way, i can try and worst case, borrow a rotary lol well, i should say im painting it myself if the price is right on the paint. if i cant get the paint at a good enough price, ill be taking it to a shop to save me the hassle. main reason i do painting myself is : a- its usually a ton cheaper, b- i know im doing it right and dont have to worry about paying for a paint job thats going to chip and flake off due to poor prep and failure to use adhesion promoter(its a duraflex kit, so will def need it to make the paint soak in)
  6. just do small test area first though. depending on what type of paint and whether it has a clearcoat or not and how think the mural was painted, you will want to be careful if using a machine that ya dont go too deep. test on a small corner that is out of sight mostly or the least noticeable just to be safe. Adams stuff is awesome and usually error-proof, but never hurts to be check first
  7. help me polish the body kit I will be painting soon? I'm just wondering if it will be aggresive enough to buff and polish it up after i wetsand the clearcoat when it has cured. only other time Ive painted was my motorcycle parts. and friend had a buffer we used that was air driven. any thoughts? appreciate the help all
  8. lol ahh got me there. hadnt heard of it. but im willing to bet kinda pricey is more expensive than 2 amps lol actually, just did a quick google. and saw one listed at 650. so not too bad for what your getting. wouldnt come clos to the power I need/use. but for someone just wanting a better than stock sound system, not too bad at all
  9. yeah, if done correctly, matte/flat can look great on pretty much anything. but i dont care for the retards that think rattle-canning their car flat black is cool
  10. sounds to me like its not that your 600w amp is getting enough power. for a 600 all you need is 8guage, 6 at the most. 4 wont hurt but the reason your amp is cutting out is either overheating just due to how its mounted or because your overworking it. like someone said before, you really dont want the amp trying to power both the front and sub. needs to be one or the other. by making it try and power the front and turning the head unit up so much, the amp is receiving a signal saying "hey push more power!!" even though you cant hear the power it is really pushing. they dont make a amp that is set up to power subs and component speakers. only one or the other. my suggestion is buy another amp, even one exactly like you have already would be fine. then set one on LPF and hook it to the sub by itself, and on the other one set it to HPF. have fun tuning it in to get it exactly how you want it to sound and if you ever hit 30 and above, you'll probably blow your speakers out lol. Im running 1 1200w amp solely for my 2 10" Pioneer Premier subs which is enough to rattle your fillings loose, and another 1200w amp to power the rest of my setup. Using passive crossovers for the mids and highs(2 6x9 in the rear, 2 6 1/4 in the front doors, and 2 tweeters). Also using a 1farad capacitor(even though i really should be using more and will be getting a 5 farad cap soon) with this setup I can play anything from rock to country to rap and get any tonal variety I desire with perfect clarity. like I said, get yourself another amp(could even get a 200w or 400w amp to use on your components as you dont need that much for them), and Id recommend 1farad capacitor also(the recommendation is 1farad per 1000w that your running). another nice thing about getting the capacitor, you wont have to run more power wires from the amp to the battery, use it as a splitter. the capacitor will save your from ruining your alternator, and also helps as a power conditioner from the voltage it receives from the car before it goes into the amps. keeps the spikes down.
  11. i used to be able to do alot of that kinda stuff on a skateboard. but that guy is awesome. bet he could ditch the cops pretty easy.... lol
  12. sounds good to me. ive got a bad habit of letting them slip too.
  13. yeah. you could get some of them down, but im seeing alot of primer showing on the scratches on the first pic.
  14. No birds were harmed in the making of this video.... yeah right lol
