Default ELECTIRCAL FIRE!!!!!

Well, not really but close enough. I got into my car this morning to warm her up, because my parents and I were taking my car to go look at Northeastern. After about 10 mins we take off. Pulling out of the driveway, there was a very distinct smell in the car, ****ing gross. got less than a 10th of a mile down the road and smoke starts pouring into the car. OH ****. We hop out, and open the trunk to let out a huge cloud of extremely horrible smelling smoke. bad start to the trip. went back to the house and switched cars right away. Well, now after 4 years of abuse, my rockford fosgate punch 200.2 is gone. the thing has been through alot, ive had it down to about 1 ohm and it pounded 2 15's in my old car, then it powered 2 8's and 2 12's in the same box. She was a good one, now ill have to move on to a McIntosh. Yippie.

Default NU ROCKS!

BTW: There are so many A4s in school this year. About 2 of them look presentable. One is lowered with 18" rims, and the other is all fixed up, with a nice body kit, but has the big rice spoiler.
On the other hand, there is a silver one from CT, that has bird crap all over the trunk, has been like that for the past MONTH! I cry every time I see it. There is one S4, with license plate 12k. ??

Default Ya baby, that's my Alma Mater!!! I loved NU...although they busted my chops! :-)

Of course I couldn't afford an A4 until I graduated! Lucky guys who had
this nice a ride while still in school. I'm in Jersey now though but have
been back there a lot the last few weeks. Love New England...

Peace.

Try Frebreze (sp?) to get rid of the yucky smell.

Default if you want a good stable 1 ohm amp......

Get a DEI 1100d. My buddy has 2 of em pushing 2 12" strokers. The amp is 1000 watts RMS and when you hook 2 of em together you get over 3000 watts. They are fairly cheap too. I have seen them on ebay for 420 bucks a peice brand new in the box. If you have never heard of them it is not becuase they are shotty amp, they do make excelllent equipement. He wouldn't by a crappy amp for subs that cost $750 a peice, and he wasn't tryign to save money, he has it to burn. These amps are simply the best out there for lots of power and stable 1 ohm loads. My buddy hasn't even got his hot yet. The subs take 1200 watts a piece just to push them so its not like there isn't strain on the amps.
