Added some more pictures to the album

The local club went out to Golden Mountain in Tn. We split up for lunch and accidentally got separated from the rest of the group for most of the day. The pictures are still trickling in but here's what I've managed to scrape together so far. I'll update when i can. I must say keeping up with...

That's a much better power setup. The same amp running 200 watts continuous but to only one sub. I just wouldn't run two subs off of it. Kicker is a fairly decent brand and the cone is a "injection molded" (plastic that will take better to the rough conditions of a jeep lol). A quick google...

I usually go up to Windrock for the close trips, but went to Golden Mountain Just south of Cookeville yesterday. There were some people from Kingsport riding with us actually.

I'll try to break it down. Smaller subwoofers(8's or 10's for example) are lighter and more compact. With less mass they are much more manageable and produce a tighter, cleaner soundwave, giving you a cleaner bassline. The downside is with the smaller surface area they aren't capable of...

The jump in gas mileage is amazing. A friend of mine has the 4bt with a larger hy35 turbo. He claims to get 35 mpg cruising at 65 and 30mpg cruising at 70. He's also not worried about his gearing with over 600ft/lbs of torque. I've raced him with the 4.0 and he left me in a cloud of black...

I've heard some boss amps hound but they were bigger than that one. Electronics are murky water with a lot of brand puppets pledging loyalty to this or that. I personally love my Memphis, they aren't sloppy and hit pretty decent for two 10's in a sealed box. I wouldn't hesitate to own Alpine...

Subwoofers are rated at a certain wattage, same as regular speakers. If you run an amp with too low of a continuous wattage output for your subs you'll get what is known as clipping. The amp sends power to the subwoofer to make it move and create a sound wave. You can imagine the power signal as...

This is awesome!!!

I definitely wouldn't buy the quadratec setup with a pathetic amp like that. The amp is the most important part of a clean sounding system, followed closely by the box, and finally the actual subwoofers. It's alot harder to overpower subs than it is to damage them with not enough power...

Re: Name with the Face '06 It would figure my newest picture is with the jeep

I have a box very similar to that with the amp mounted under the seat. I'm not a fan of mounting the amp to the box due to the vibrations speeding up the death of your amp. It also looks like that box is a single chamber which I'm also not a fan of. Let me look for the brand of my box here in a...

Maybe we should start a supercharger vs turbocharger thread:shades:

I have a friend who owns his own custom car shop. He has a cummins 4bt in his jeep and upgraded the turbo to a hy35. He's offered me his stock hx30 and all the parts needed to get this project going for way way less than 4k;). Even offered a wideband and tune. I'll take turbocharged over...

Awesome that's the information I was looking for. Now where do I find one of these wagoneer 4wd switches? Are they available at a parts store and I'm just not typing in the right key words or are they a junkyard only option?

Ok this isn't another, "My 4wd doesn't work what could it be thread?" I'm looking at putting a lunchbox locker into the front of my jeep and have a few friends looking at welding their d30's. I'm looking for a way to minimize the turning problems that come with locking the front. I know you can...

I'm gathering parts for a turbo setup on my jeep right now. Any kit is gonna cost you out the wazoo. If you do the research, find someone who knows what they're doing, and have some fabrication skills it can be done for a lot less though.

One of my friends bought a bread truck with the 4bt cummins for $2,500 and swapped the whole drivetrain over into his yj. If you can weld and fabricate it's no worse than any other engine swap. He kept snapping rear axles but after upgrading the only real downside on the trail was how heavy the...

I'll be in for a while

33's are probably the biggest I'll go tirewise. I don't know what kind of power output I'll get out of this turbo. I'm not too worried though I'm all about finesse over power on the trails anyways. I'm also looking into putting a switch in the dash to control the vacuum pump on my 2 piece...
