• Steve Wood: Damn thing carried  good punch of nasty weather all the way

• nocooler: Brad - I scored a pair of MTX aal 1240 (12” woofer 4 way) for $5. Going to need some more watts this 20w t amp isn’t cutting it

• nocooler: A/C quit on our 2017 Honda CRV, dealer just called it lost a seal at the compressor. 100% covered by Honda - they extended the warranty on this specific item. 7 year old car, and the refrigerant is $150/lb - awesome - I needed a win!

• Steve Wood: I would not have believed that.

• Scoobum: Jeremy, I looked those up on Audikarma. Prolly came from a rack system originally. You'll need a little more puch to wake them up. 35-40 will do it.  I  use equalizers with all my vintage systems. You can pick up vintage radio  shack equalizers fairly inexpensively still. I have al the final setups inn my shop and man cave. When you see the vids you'll shit.

• nocooler: 100w woke them up. Definitely need to be paired with a sub, zero low end at lower volumes. Definitely are louder than I care to listen too - I’ll have zero issues drowning out the neighbors gay pride orgies now

• nocooler: Eq would help but I think swapping out the 10” sub for a 15” would get me what I’m after
  July 29 2024, 04:07:25 PM
• Scoobum: EQ can bring up the bottom end. The vintage receivers have a warmer sound than the new junk. I run primarily the vintage Pioneer stuff. 680, 780, 980. I have a Yamaha CR 620 and a Toshiba 335 amp, pre amp and tuner. All have Eq's.

• Scoobum: The two 5.1 systems are Yamaha.
  July 29 2024, 08:56:35 PM
• Scoobum: I have my original Superscope 1220 which was made my Marantz and my LAB 340 turntable I had as a teenager hooked up to a pair of Studiolab speakers.

• motorhead: Dave, pardon the delayed response. Been head down doing Drag n Drive prep and execution for the last few months. Steve's right we're in SK. Monte didn't make it, blew the diff out of the Hellcat as plan B:https://www.instagram.com/p/C9yxrrTR3pL

• TexasT: [link] This guy is living the dream. I hope i'm up and around when Im his age.
  August 06 2024, 08:02:13 AM
• TexasT: [link] He has a whole slew of vids. I do LOVE me some vintage Ferrari though after hearing of Jay Leno and his distaste for the dealers I can see why people might shy away. Beautiful cars none the less. I hope everyone is well!

• TexasT: [link] One more where he shares some ring and pinion tech
  August 06 2024, 08:06:53 AM
• Steve Wood: Thanks for sharing these, Rich. Throw in some dogs and this would be my idea of Heaven. I once knew people like this.

• Steve Wood: He was around in the 90's. Think his son does the work now
  August 26 2024, 08:33:08 PM
• ULYCYC: Lonnie been around a long time in the Turbo Buick world.  He put some weight on since I've seen him in Ohio about 10yrs ago.

• ULYCYC: Lost another oldtimer,  Nick Micale  died Thurs night.
  August 31 2024, 06:54:00 AM
• TexasT: [link] Earl Brown, is this the place you were getting pistons from?
  September 03 2024, 03:44:26 PM
• Forzfed: RIP Nick Micale.  How old was he?
  September 05 2024, 05:11:13 PM
• TexasT: [link] sez he was 87 on the big board.
  September 10 2024, 11:25:45 AM
