    My Sis rolled the Cherokee

    Thanks for the well wishes everyone. As far as this whole debate starting about 'brake checking' that was not the case here. She was not following too close either. If she was, I'm sure the cop would have charged her with it, or pulled her over before the crash happened. She was doing...

    My Sis rolled the Cherokee

    Last Thursday my sis was driving south on the 410 (just passed the 401 bridge) (for those not familiar with Ontario, 410-401 = major highways) when the vehicle in front of her slammed on the brakes for no apparent reason. She couldn't react in time so she swerved into the left lane. When...

    Hey Edmund! It's been pretty mild here for the last week or so, but about a week ago we hit -22c. In other words, it was minus OH MY GOD!!! lol

    Installing an amp, tips?

    To clarify, if it's the rigid type of wire..no, if it's pliable and has many small strands, it might be ok. Best bet is buy automotive 8 gauge.

    Installing an amp, tips?

    Household or industrial wire will 'work'. That doesn't mean you should do it. I know you want to do this on the cheap but don't skimp on wires or fuses. You NEED an inline fuse or some sort of fuse near the connection on the battery. 30-40 amp should be fine. A local hardware store might...

    Installing an amp, tips?

    I wouldn't use speaker wire to temporarily power the amp. However if you used 3-4 lengths of speaker wire together to make 1 bigger wire that would give you enough to hook it up temporarily.

    Installing an amp, tips?

    A fellow drummer!! Believe me, spending $$ on your drums is never a bad thing! I didn't realize you were trying to do this on a short budget. Also I didn't mean that you didn't understand the difference between line level and speaker level inputs or that you needed to know about speaker...

    Installing an amp, tips?

    Is there any particular reason for keeping the stock HU? I can understand wanting to retain the factory look but other than that? A new HU won't cost that much and will probably sound better on it's own compared to hooking up your factory deck to an external amp. 3.5 speakers aren't meant...

    What's a good setup I can have without having to add an amp?

    I don't post on here too often but I lurk around the posts frequently. I was heavily involved in car audio installation and competition in my late teens and early twenties and I have to say that although there is alot of good info here, Grimjack is always bang on about this stuff. I think...

    oookkaaay?

    I once had a similar problem. It took me ages to find it but it ended up being a bad wire. It was one of the 3 wires that come off the rad hose inlet (where upper rad hose meets the engine) If that makes sense. Anyway, I had similar symptoms and found that wire broken. Once fixed...

    The joys of home ownership.

    Depending where the leak is coming from you might not get dinged for it. If it is leaking from the pipe that goes from the watermain to your house and is leaking before the meter, you're good. If it is leaking from anything after the meter...ouch!! Good Luck. I once had a toilet overflow...
