  1. Man I hate those Dodges. They've been doing really well around here to with fords diesel being a pos, and chevy sales not doing well either. They're showing up everywhere.

    I remember the good old days when that had that butt ugly truck from what 73-93ish? You rarely saw one on the road, now they're everywhere.

     

    390 hp my ass. Why does my stock(except for gutted cats and a CAI) truck beat those hemi's every time?

  2. I've been having a few problems with the SS lately and another one emerged yesterday. I was driving to the store to check the mail and my Hvac system was totally overriden. It was set at 15c and lowest fan speed, yet was blowing full blast and hot as hell. I just though whatever I'll go check the mail and restart the truck, hopefully that'll fix it. I got the mail and came back, went to restart and all it did was click when i turned the ignition to the start position. Then nothing, like... Nothing was working total power loss to everthing. I popped the hood and figured out that if i flicked the little black box by the battery that it would reset and i had power agian. I went and turned the key and the same click and power loss happened again. It took me 8 trys until i got the truck started :-/ is that a relay or something? Everytime it trips it rests all the settings for the Hvac controls.

     

    Got any picks of that 'black box'?

  3. Whatever you do make sure those vents still function, they are critical for proper/safe air bag deployment.

    Ya If you plug them you should learn how to read lips now, in case of an accident ...

     

    The only thing a Guy can do is build new vents around you stereo gear. Lots of work. I've done mine and it helped a bit, but o have Exhaust drone anyways so I just turn the stereo up.

  4. I agree with the mounting location. I think the A pillar is just too much in your face. However I will disagree with not using components in the rear. Made a big difference in my truck. Its the same as home audio. Why would you put bad a$$ speakers in front and cheap ones in the rear?you This is my own opinion though. I would rather be surrounded my clean, crisp music rather than just doing it half assed.

    Well. I never said anything about cheap speakers in the rear and car audio is nothing like home audio. There is no surround sound.

    Rear speakers are for fill. That's all. You ears are made to hear sounds in front of you. Not behind you. The days of putting rear wedge speaker on the rear deck lid under the back window are over.

    Cutting holes in a perfectly good panel for tweeters is stupid and just ruins a car interior. Buy a good set of 5 1/4" coaxials and buy the best components for up front that you can afford.

    But that's just my opinion.
