    Im done.

    everything is done except for two things...


    One: Pictures

    Two: The damn LCD screen hasnt made it back to mp3car.com, so i havent recieved my new one yet (what slackers), so yeah... waiting on that ^^


    other than that, its done... amp works, speakers work... i blew 4 fuses because i mis-wired a switch (the ground and power were touching, so yeah... instead of the usual 15 amp fuse in the box, i have a 10 in there now... which is fine since the only thing its powering is the iginition switches for my amp and computer, and the front speakers... so yeah, i was driving around again, and i noticed when my amp is on (not computer), my rpms raise by about 200, i knew this would happen (drawing more current) but by 200 rpm? my car idles at ~400


    anyway, the wiring in the back of my car i just taped to the top of the trunk, im going to fix that later as well (i.e. put it nicely) butt hats only the wires to my tweets and subs.


    for my sound, i got the seperate tweeter/woofer tx4001 by MTX Audio, its... amazing. its mounted in my rear deck, and i had to cut into my scooby ( ), however.... i didnt screw up (like usual) and they look very nice, now i have to just fine tune the amp for them, but im waiting till the screen for my computer todo that so i can setup the sound equalizers and such on there first. (i am using the speakers using my ipod ^^)


    so yeah, thats my update... this should get moved to the show off your ride main forum soon, and i cant wait.


    my only problem..... i dont know what to do next week.....

    Same thing for me. I am up around 200-300rpm as well. My gas mpg is a bit worse too. About 36mpg, instead of 38mpg. It happened after I put all the computer stuff in (Computer, Amp, Screen, tons o' USB), so I assume it is that.

    Well he said he only had a week... so 7days * 24 hours in a day = 168 hours. I think I did the math right... The XP calculator is so far away. It way down there, and then you have to move the mouse up, and then over, and then up, and then right, and then down. I like my head better. I guess I could use the keyboard, but then I need to use the window's button, and press the up button like 4 times, then right, and then like up 20 more times, and over, and hell.... That's enough writing.
