Nice, Leo. Hole saw is a much better idea. Plus I won't have to go buy a dremel. That's a good job with the speaker cover. I'm debating either putting it there or somewhere on the a-pillar. I thought I was going to install them today, but it just started raining so it may have to wait...

Yeah had I not already put this amp in I wouldn't have even thought about it. Well right now I have two working components (Alpine SPR-17S) and one working crossover. They are great speakers and I was about to just pick up another set of them. Essentially one of the crossovers are bad. I...

Counting down. 10 lb speakers....oh my.

I'll be doing a short review of it, Scott. I'll post it up regardless of if I send it back or not. Depends on how well it functions for my needs.

Exactly just as a safeguard. I probably do 10 over max unless I'm on a major interstate going with traffic.

Where you been John?

Thanks guys! I hope it's worth it. If not I'll be sending it back and blowing the dough on strippers and liquid cocaine. :naughty:

We'll see how it performs over the next few days.

:lol:

Yeah I really don't go through big cities too often, so laser doesn't concern me. When I go through bigger areas I tend to slow down anyway. I usually go ~5 over consistently, be it 35, 45, 55, whatever. I've had quite a few close calls recently, though. I'll get behind someone that goes...

Na you're right, I'm already second-guessing myself. Mainly because I don't really need it. I think I might try it for a few days. Escort offers a 30-day money back guarantee, so if it's not what I'm expecting I'll hit them up on that. However, if buying a radar detector is on the list, as...

I'm going to go check out my chips on the truck and see if there are enough to justify this. If there are, I will go ahead and make the purchase.

It's a good way to help stay alert. Nothing beats good driving skills and awareness of your surroundings. That being said, I ordered it. :D

That's what I'm thinking. I'm considering a detector now simply because I live in an area that rarely uses laser. The few times I do drive through areas that laser is used (mostly the interstate) I always slow it down anyway.

Question about laser guns...... Are there any car-mounted laser guns.....similar to car-mounted radar guns? I wouldn't think so since they have to precisely aim it at either your front plate or headlights. However, anyone know of anything like this? I'm curious because I rarely/never drive...

That Escort I'm looking at has most of them loaded into its GPS. I don't have many speed cameras around here but it's a nice feature anyway.

I took mine off when I got the new wheels and tires. When I took them off they had been on for a few months and showed no signs of wear. Two things in hindsight: should have taken more time and wet-sanded so the clear was smoother.......and I should have taken off the wheel weights first (in...

:dunno: I should do this shiz while I'm young. (Meaning blow money on random crap) Think I'm gonna go wash the truck and think on it.

Since you have an F150, I'd recommend spending a little bit extra and buying from Travis (KC Autosound). He does pre-wiring and includes custom installation instructions (pictures he's taken printed in a color instruction manual) for our F150s. Well worth it if you're installing it yourself...

Most of the locals here still use radar. We're behind on times. Probably why we don't have to have front plates or inspections, either. :D I am strongly considering one now. Laser is what I'm worried about, but around here I think the main uses are on big highways and interstates. Since the...

Yeah the lower the # of clear coats you use the less shiny it will be. I would highly recommend using it, though, otherwise the paint will fade (or worse) in a short time.

3 or 4. I think it was just the fact that my truck sits outside all the time. With the sun beating down they were destined to fade eventually. It wasn't bad, but enough to make me want to respray.

That's the biggest reason I have never had one.

I'm strongly considering a 9500 now....

I know. :D I find out today whether or not I will get the financial aid I need for my last semester. If I get it then I'll go ahead and order this.
