    Chuyler1's new audio install log.

    Build a mold of the shape you want, in this case just a circle the same diameter of your tweeters outer lip, heat the panel from the backside just enough to get it soft and push the mold into the back side to strech the plastic into the desired shape and let cool. Just don't strech it too much...

    Anyone ever buy furniture from Target?

    The one I finally ended up getting was from Thomasville (yes I know I paid for the name) part of the Humphry Bogart line they were promoting about 8 months ago. This is my primary chair at home, I use it for reading, watching TV and just sitting back and relaxing. I also am really picky about...

    Anyone ever buy furniture from Target?

    It's looks like a decent chair for a couple years use. It probably won't hold up over the years and from the reviews it seems a little stiff, so probably a pretty low grade of leather is used. But hey what do you expect for the price. Over all if you just need something for a little while and...

    Fiberglass Amp rack

    Another option, but one I don't think it sounds like you want to do, is to mount them in the rear seat. You pull the cover off, make a box to mount them in and then put the cover back on with an opening for the heat sinks to show through and cool down. Did this in my old 89 Eclipse when I...

    Our Home Theatre Setup

    Great set-up on the video, I won't comment on the audio as I'm a audio-snob:rolleyes: , it can be improved over time though and I like that. Only one correction, you will not be able to input 1080p from a blu-ray player, you'll need to input 720p or 1080i as the Sony does not accept 1080p...

    Door connector speaker install issue

    Other option, which still allows removal of the door if needed, is to get some molex pins from Radio Shack and actually add pins to the stock plug for what ever extra wires you want to run. I did this when I added actuators and window control modules to my old MX-6. That way I was able to run...

    Who Here Has Bought From Sports Compact Only???

    Of course they want a signed hard copy, read the terms(boom07) 22.9% minimum up to 24.75% after the very short introductory period. It's actually through GE Bank once you get through all the fine print. Unless you have no credit and cannot get a normal credit card I wouldn't go with this. You...

    Any structural Engineers in the house?

    I'd say you could get away with just opening up one stud bay and building a slightly narrower ladder frame section in there and be good. I forgot to ask does this place had a drop ceiling and your walls are free standing or is the top of the wall framed to a cross beam? if cross beamed then...

    Any structural Engineers in the house?

    Hey, I'm not a nerd, I'm a techno geek. Never finished my electrical mechanical engineering degrees so I don't qualify for nerd. Instead I've dealt with consumer electronics for the last 18 years.(boom07)

    Any structural Engineers in the house?

    You're probably right. I can gaurantee that there is no way the steel framing will hold anything. The beam are too thin to even get anything to grab adn they flew too easy. We used steel framing for all of the interior wall for our display floor except those that we knew were going to have...

    KL-03 vs KL-ZE

    I was running the 03 as I always had plans to supercharge it. If you run the 110 octane you'll be good if you are runnign the Japanese ECU. There are also a couple of guys who have cracked the ECU codes for the KL series engines for reprogramming with boost.

    KL-03 vs KL-ZE

    I'm surprised no one mentioned this but the 195-200 horsepower rating that the ZE engine has is running Japanese 102 octance gas, you'll actually end up with about 185 hp running 92 octane. Still a great motor and has very good torque when compared to the 2.0 of the base model. The one thing...

    What credit card to apply?

    I'm going to side with jred on this one. The wife and I use our Citibank for all of our daily purchases and then pay them off at the end of the month. We haven't had a balance on this card ever. It really boils down to self control though, and why I let my wife run the finances, i know that...

    2005 Taxes - what are you getting / paying?

    Guess I win. Getting $1387 back from the federal goverment and $6946 from the state. Sold an investment condo and the state took out over $9000 in estimated real estate taxes on the $46,000 profit, but since I'm able to reduce our taxable income by over $60,000 every year they had to give a...

    Drove a friends Honda Element this weekend...

    That's pretty much standard on all Honda's cars, our new Accord doesn't have either, but it does have a very large covered storage compartment in the center console that you can get a replacement piece for a DIN opening. And inplace of teh ashtray and lighter you have a covered storage tray and...

    Drove a friends Honda Element this weekend...

    Good review. The wife's actually looking at buying one in the near future to replace the P5. We just replaced my Isuzu Rodeo with an Accord last month and will need the extra space for hauling stuff soon.

    Getting new TV ... Opinions/Suggestions

    I don't know what Plasmas he's selling, I sell them all the time and don't have them come back unless the set was defective out of the box, about 2-5% of the time. It might be more of an issue that teh people don't like to strech the image out for normal TV and they don't know about it ahead of...
