Are they vertical shakes like a ham candle or are they rotational shakes? Which is the correct way???

 

Takes a combo. And you gotta swirl the ball around in the bottom of the can every now and then.

 

Getting packed for my voyage. Anyone know the socket size for archive garage u bolt flip kit? Got breaker bar, two torque wrenches, 1/4 socket set, trim removal tools, extra keys, wire strippers / crimpers, fuses, butt connectors. Gonna skimp on heat shrink and just bring tape.

 

Am I the only one that does it both ways and even switches hands? I feel like a bartender sometimes.

 

The ol' stranger technique

 

Yes, and I'll add flip the can upside down for some shakes as well

Not sure about the archive flip nuts, but I know I got aftermarket U-bolts and they were NOT the same size as OEM[/QUOTE]

 

Lucky Chris doesn't work on Saturdays

I have 2pm booked right now and my buddy Jeff doing my bidding, friends sure do help out when you need them.

 

OK, so instead of buying 2 new amps, I'm thinking about getting a 1000/1 v1 slash series amp to match the 300/4 I already have sitting here. Found one on fleabay for $500 shipped. Then I could put the RD 500/1 and shitty Walmart amp in the van, and donate the slash 500/1 to either gf or daughter.

For the wiring I'll probably just get the Crutchfield 1/0 amp kit, splitter fuse block, and RCA cables.

 

Is the 1000 AB or D? I’d go D for subs if purchasing even if it’ll not match.

 

Might need a bigger alternator for that sub if he wants it to shake fillings & house foundations as he cruises through neighborhoods.

 

Are you saying you want the D?

Yeah, its a class D.

I'm thinking about the 150A alt and big 3 upgrades too.

 

When I looked up the correct p/n (not sure if one you posted is technically right, I'd hafta look again) it showed clearly as "Discontinued" at the main Toyota Parts site. This could explain the nat'l backorder - they have no plans to remake. I also noticed on fleaBay, there is someone selling a 3rd party tailgate, but it's only for AC sadly.

Honestly, the Kicker kits are extremely good, I don't think they sell anything that's copper clad/tinned copper, it's all pure copper, O2-free cable. Sonic Electronix carries and usually has great prices already, but will pricematch if you find cheaper. I typically go with the 4awg kit ("CK4") for most normal installs where I'm not using a power distro block. Maybe PKD-1 is up your alley for this install? (link)

 

I would do 200A if Denso makes them to fit our truck.

Pink and purple powder coating available. haha

 

Looking to get the metal roof quotes in the spring.

 

No = Rooster. I live in a city & my neighbor has a danged Rooster. But not for much longer....

 

Those copper roofs are nice and last a good 100 years, but they are $$$.

 

I've been blaming that on living on the wrong side of the hill.

 

1/2 that many if you store the can on it's top.

 

I don't wanna deal with replacing the roof when I'm old. Pay twice now, deal with it once.

 

Good option, when you live in Connecticut. I could imagine the SoCal tweakers ripping off roof panels to resell the copper.

Wish I had known about that when I got my sequoia one

 

I didn't know about it until @Mr.bee posted up a link.

I wonder if it's a legit direct swap for a 2000 to 2002. Using the same oval plug or the square

 

My buddies integra had 3 tallboy-sized capacitors. What were those doing?

 

@Mr.bee I'll find out if replacing the part fixes my headlights tomorrow (I hope).

 

Discharging under load, usually, triggered by heavy draw from bass hits.

Was it a gimmick? A lot of people said "Yes, totally". In concept the model is viable IMO.

There were other methods used, also. Phoenix Gold had a unit with an array of smaller caps making 10 farad, the "Power Grid", @bmf4069 has my old one today. Pics of that can be seen over here on this forum post.

 

I'm intrigued. Anyone know if the quality is good?
