man, ur bird is friggin sweet. I love the wheels, really goes well with your car. Looks really tough.

Is your car lowered too??!? It looks wonderful, not too low, just right. Nice job.
Those look like 3 12s. My friend has two of them also, TWO and they are loud as hell. Can't imagine wat 3 would sound like. Looks very clean all the way around.

MAN I WISH WE HAD GOOD WEATHER!!! I still have 3 inches of snow in the backyard!!!

3 would be 50% more powerful, or perceived as ~15% louder

based on a second speaker adding 3dB to the overall sound (double the sine wave's amplitude - double the power), but we perceive a double in volume about every 10dB

Edit:
you've gotta at least try that patterned material in the corners. I'm going back to orange tomorrow but think having something in there looks so much better than just seeing the "CHROME paint (I don't understand what they used...its like actual chrome paint)*. The inside of mine had a bunch of scratches and marks on the finish so covering that up made the markers look new. Still don't know how those got there.

Sweet car.  Put some black wheels on that thing and you'd have a Stealth Bird!

I agree with jkirchman, colored wheels are the way to go.

I wasn't saying it looks bad with the pony wheels.  In fact I think the car looks really good just the way it is.  I was just saying that if it had black wheels then it would be a Stealth Bird. 

That's just what popped into my head when I saw it.  But I like the car either way.  Sure looks better than mine!

well technically if he wanted the stealth look. smoked headlight covers along with limo tint would also be in order.

by "steppin' on" did you mean "in my most pleasant" ?  :hick:
Title: Re: Took some new pics of my bird!
Post by: jkirchman on March 28, 2005, 03:17:46 PM
Yes.  If by "in my most pleasant" you meant "the one where I'm Rambo and you are the evil ruler of Canuckistan and I get to take you and all of your Stealth Bird driving minions out single handedly."

Post by: baxo on March 28, 2005, 03:24:15 PM
LOL. yep.. that's pretty much what i meant sir Rambo sir. If your 'pleasant' dreams consist of Sylvester Stallone's throbbing muscles and big giant guns. That kinda worries me. "Not that there's anything wrong with that" - Jerry Seinfeld. ;)

No no you misunderstood my friend.  I am Rambo, not Stallone.

Thanks guys,i think she looks down right shagy,can't stop looking at her when she's parked.
As for being dropped,no it's just got stock TC springs with a 5.0L in it,does give a really nice stance though,i've only got about 2 fingers of a wheelwell gap on all 4 wheels and with the electronic suspension of the TC i get my choice of firm or soft ride(always in firm though).
Live in burlington area baxo.
I was asking sirchirpalot if any of the ontario guys get together around here and he said that there wasn't many of us out this way.
Thought about the black pony idea but,i think all black would kinda ruin it's look a little.
I know you can't see it by the pics but my rims are pearl coated and glimmer in the sun light(looks awesome).
By the way for anybody that wants to do that on there silver wheels at home it's really easy.
Dulplicolor sell a mirage color changing paint called ice.
It's the same silver color as your regular rim but when the sun hits it look out.
Anybody that's interested send me a pm and i'll let you in on how to apply it.

Yeah there isn't too many of us there are a few of us, however. If you want to have a gettogether just post it into the niagara region section over at Cougar Nuts and i'm sure we can hang out and go play pool and whatnot.

Sounds like a plan,we'll definetly have to set something up.
As for subs,3 10s , 12s would fit but they would be right up against the ports and the edges of the box also they require more cubic feet.
As the box stands right now it is approx 5cu feet,and was a real pita to get into the car,had to remove the lower latch,and shoe horn it in with a prybar,also the top 3/4"mdf on the box had to be removed and then reinstalled when in the car.
Let's just say it was not fun but it definetly sounds bitchen.
1500watts rms 3000watts peak out of my alphasonik really packs a punch.
got a few other pics of my tv,deck and dvd.
