Hey all,

 

My name is Jason, I'm 19, and I'm from Portland Oregon. I'm a freshman in college and I'm studying to be an engineer.

 

I grew up with my dad teaching me how to work on cars, but now I primarily work with car a/v. I've been doing it on my own for just about 3 years now working on big projects for my car, or little ones for friends. I'll try and get pics of some of my work up soon.

 

Here's a link to a few pics of my work, I don't have any of the most recent things ( some fiberglass dash work ), and I don't really have any pics of my car yet, but I'll get those when I have time.

I drive a 93 GMC Suburban.

Aftermarket ccfl halo headlights

10000k HID lights with HI-4 kit

Flowmaster exhaust

High output alternator

Yokohama all terrain tires ( 265/75/16 )

 

Stereo details-

Head unit: Alpine IXA-W407 Digital Media reciever (double din, I had to modify my dash and create a custom fiberglass kit to hold it in place, looks almost factory), it's hardwired to the batter with a turn on switch separate from the ignition so it can be used without keys in the ignition.

Speakers: 6.5inch component speakers in the door (cut holes in the doors for mounting) Polk Audio MM6501, 6x9inch 3-way speakers (mounted so that they can be rotated to face forward, or out the back barn doors) Polk Audio MM691

Subs: 2 12inch MTX t4512-04 subs, 1 10inch MTX t4510-04 sub

Amps: MTX 702x 2 channel amp powering the 10 inch sub (210 rms), California Profile amps 1040 and 1000m, 4 channel amp and mono sub amp, 500 rms each

Rockford Fosgate Digital capacitor 2 farad

Steetwires products-

top of the line ring terminals, 2 fuse holder/dist blocks, 2 grounding terminals, 1/0 power wire, speaker wires, interconnects, fuse holders

Streetglow-

Blue LED's in cupholders

Red LED's in dash vents

Illuminated turn off switches for amps hidden in center console

 

If anyone has any questions about my set up please ask! It was a fun project that took quite a bit of time and saving to do. I'm constantly adding and upgrading my stuff as well.

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
