From what I'm reading the JL is supposed to be pretty bad ass. Subs meant for small space encloures and the box is all fiberglass. If it was $500 it would be a lot more appealing since it still needs an amp.

Subs also need a certain amount of space between the cone and loading wall aka the floor in this instance.   So i think it is going to sound muffled and wont allow for full extension.

I bought a custom made box from a member on here well over a year ago to replace the factory bose one. I believe I got one of the last ones he made before he stopped doing it. Too bad though because quality, customer service, instructions, and price were all great. I put a JL w8 powered by an Alpine amp (with a rux knob) in it. Sounds amazing paired with the factory Bose speakers. I'm very impressed with how hard it can hit when you crank it up. Sounds very clean and crisp at normal levels. Very glad I did it...

Chris do you have any pics? That w8 is a decent sub and it might be a fun project adding 1 in the center console before I throw a couple subs under the back seat. Plan for right now is 4 DD 506'S but I might buy 1 now to throw in the console spot

I dont have a JL box but I did get an aftermarket box off Ebay that replaces the factory Bose sub in the console with an 8" sub. I removed my 10" sub box that I had under my rear seat so I could reinstall my underseat storage box. The 8" in the center console sounds so much better than the 10" under the rear seat. It doesn't rattle and just sounds clean.8d554e799c65eef8300a6e1b7a84e67b.jpga1f1451d93938a60f81b0fc5472dee32.jpg45de39fa8de543558fbca9a75b2b6378.jpg64cd20bef03d2594e8dbd15584e6f9f0.jpg

I’m in the middle of installing that eBay box now with a kicker 8”. I bought his full kit with the kicker Amp. 

I haven’t found the box on eBay yet, but I’m still looking. How did you like everything after your install. And what amp and sub did you install? Thank you for any help.

      OCI, not when but why?

      It really doesn’t matter to me. Making a blanket statement that can be refuted will be. As I pointed out the information is out there. Hey google.

      My area is one of the most affluent areas in Texas. And yet affordable housing is close by. My family business pays top wages and turnover is very low. You can’t but people in a box if you want to succeed the opportunity is there.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      It was previously working, but the continually running compressor threw me for a loop. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that a 26 year old AC system had lost some of its charge and could be exhibiting low charge indicators, so I thought I had it licked. Add some refrigerant to get the low and high pressures in range like on the old 134 systems.   I learned the continuously running compressor is normal, and that I need to know how much is in the system, as well as needing to meter what goes in. I'm only used to working on older R134a and R12 systems that aren't variable displacement. This is how we learn...LOL.   Long story short, I had a 20% off coupon for a new Jiffy Lube that opened nearby. I took it up there yesterday and they did an evac/recharge using their brand new machine from Mahle. Had a good conversation with the guy, they loved the car and I was out of there for $159 plus tax. Digitally measured charge, exactly 1.5lb of refrigerant went in.

      In most areas of the country, wages have trailed CPI increases over time (let's say, since the 70's) and things like housing, energy, and food have vastly outpaced wages on the whole. Can't ignore that, it's very real.   That isn't to say there aren't ways to live in ways that mitigate some of that, including moving to cheaper areas of the country. In KNut's neck of the world, median housing prices in "nearby" Dallas are more like $500k. If you're raising a family and young in a successful career, your economic opportunities are probably going to be better living closer to Dallas than Cornhole. A 3 hour (6+ round trip) daily commute probably isn't tolerable for most folks. Grumpy mentioned economic migration; but we've seen what happens when people populate and grow an area. It becomes more expensive when economic opportunities come to roost.   One thing different now from back in the 70's is our quality and standard of living has changed. Healthcare is light years better, for example. But it's also much more expensive. And we have communication and information/tech tools that folks in the 70's could never imagine, and they're accessible to people of just about all incomes. Cars are light years safer, faster, and filled with tech advances. Homes are larger, more energy-efficient, and more luxurious on the whole, from starter homes to luxury homes.   Seattle was once affordable. My folks came here in the 70's with a lot of other people from California looking to escape uncontrolled sprawl, smog, and rising prices in the Bay Area. Seattle and the surrounding area has grown considerably; The home they bought for, I think it was $70k or $80k in the late 70's is now worth $1.2M today. The same house.   So while there have been obvious boosts in some areas of quality and standard of living, regarding opportunity, that's a bit more nuanced. It's really not possible for young people to get started in similar situations in areas of the country that have become "HCOL" (high cost of living). There are many more areas than before, which is to say they exclude younger workers or make their lives significantly harder. They have to commute farther and longer to afford to live in the area. They have to take outsized risk, take on more debt, significantly delay family planning. Or, they could move somewhere cheaper, but there's usually a loss of economic opportunity that comes with that. Even for the same job, it may pay a lot less in a LCOL.   What I don't like are Boomers with phones thinking they have all the answers and outright saying that if people stopped paying for their cell phone that they'd be rich. It's as stupid and misguided as people who think they'd only be rich if taxes weren't so high. Sorry guys, Elon proved you wrong on that one, I guess you're just lazy and blaming your own situation for the reason you're not wealthy. Mobile communication is basically an expectation in a modern society and workforce and it's often cheaper than having a copper landline these days, so... What's your point?

      Ac not keeping up

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My 2008 started exhibiting similar symptoms, wasn't 'cold' enough. I went through a pretty extensive diagnostic process for a DIY'er with limited OBD access. System evacuation and recharge included.   Noticed one day the passenger side was cold (I'm never over there so took awhile to notice).   Pulled the drivers side blend door actuator out, disassembled it and cleaned it out. Put it back in and did some kind of reset and it fixed the problem.   Long story short, it wasn't the A/C system at fault, the blend door wasn't moving to full cold position.
