man this was a big worry but now moved to the least of them. my truck was supposed to go get registered today but the title is from outta state and im the 4th owner and none of the ones before the first owner registered in the state so im screwed until they all fix the title if we can get ahold of the previous 3 owners. FUCK

a nice teg would always be worth an extra 200 dollars, they have alot of potential.
too bad this is only an s10 but luckily the bitch who fucked me over is taking care of the money and all the damn issues. she should pay for it since she was the incompetent bitch who messed up in the 1st place

mehh dB’s and SPL comps are fun and all, but Id much rather have something I can listen to everyday, and somethin in which sound great doing it. dB is just a bonus. Ive got 2 12"s in which they are considered SQL subs, and without having set the gains right, I was hitting 144.5dB.
Just get something thats going to sound good. Then if you want worry about SPL later on.

Oh yeah, well my friend’s system is really loud.
He put in a flux capacitor he got on ebay for $20 with a warranty and now he hits 210.
But he can’t come to a sound off because the hobbit that spins the cds gets depressed and needs therapy.
There’s also the haunted air conditioner. And if he hits over 155 he’ll go back in time.
But the web said if he puts in a class D amp, with a class U, a class M, class B, class A and two class S amps instead of running the subs off the radio it should keep the capacitors in phase with the capacitators and stop the time travel.
And the web also said that I’ll increase 3 DB if I start my sentences with conjuctions like and, and but

You obviously are very novice, and and don’t know enough about SPL to Advise someone on their set-up. If you think a festiva is a poor SPl car you are wayyyy off, they are one of the best of all time (about all they are good for). And if you think 144.3 is loud you are a joke too. No respect here until you break 150 and it’s not all distortion. Not meaning to put you down but your SPl advise is way off.

Theres sooooo much to putting together an SPL system that really is impossible to know every aspect.

2 10in subs in a standard cab S10 will be just fine. Just dont go cranking the bass up all the way and leave change in the cupholder. I have 2 MA Audio 10s with a MA Audio 400 watt amp and it sounds good, not a single rattle or any distortion. I plan on adding the other MA Audio 400 watt amp i have and using 1 amp per sub.
