What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

marlin clutch is in o yeaaaaaaa

 

Timing belt, water pump, drive belts, coolant and new Magnaflow muffler and tip.

 

Lights ,winch, air compressor, sound system.

Normal amps with truck running is around 45 amps.

Light draw is with everything running is around 100 amps to 140 MAX.

winch is around max is 480 amps.

Air com. around 20 amps ( maybe more on the fence with that. )

sound system 6 amps as it stands right now not including ES line i have going in that pulls 40 amps right there. . Two are class A amps input unknown at this time. . Other four are class d amps. Old school phoenix gold amps pull power they have no fuses.

Im still in CAD right now playing with box designs.

preview of load demands. Still in planning stages.

 

oh, any of you that have manual trans, if your shifter wiggles around when in gear or while you're driving down the road, buy this and this to get it nice and tight. best $16 i've spent by far.

all you have to do to install is take the shifter out thru the top, maybe a 20 min job.

 

Wth would you need 6 amps? Amp technology is WAY better then it used to and is much more effeicent and smaller.

I have a 2400w sound system..and i can tell you that i like use maybe 100w of it on a daily basis. 6 amps is down right retarded. I have 6 speakers and two subs running off just two amps..

You'll never run all that stuff all at the same time, your just adding unnecessary weight with a third battery and all those amps.

Not to mention, you'd have to get a green machine alternator to maybe even keep up with three batteries. And thats a 400ish buck alternator.

 

True but keep your china made parts as you will see they sound like shit. I like USA amps they sound much better.

IM run a mobile xES P1 X1 T1 and a C1 its a audiophile unit. If you dont know what it is look it up there are only a few around. People who own them dont give them up your looking at one of them. http://forum.caraudiopt.com/index.php?topic=17328.0;wap2

Once your done reading you will understand why you need 6 amps.

enjoy

 

I will definitely do that while I'm changing the plugs, thanks. What did you use to clean it with? Just a carb/intake cleaner and rag/toothbrush?

 

okay..i am an audiophile..i mix music haha

that is all very cool..however..your driving a Tacoma..a tiny ass cabed tacoma..surround sound in that..pointless dude haha the acoustic characteristics of the cab are horrible and there is not really good way to make surround sound work in it..

I think its a HUGE waste of money on a tacoma..but hey..its your truck bro. Have at it.

I think you should get like a bigger cabbed vehicle and through that stuff in.

 

Funny you said that i have no back window ( maybe you need to think out of the box DUDE ). my leer xq100 and my cab are one. so what about acoustic again? I have done many systems with this set up and we did this in the early 90s.. you where just born as we did this.

 

i don't care about when i was born..

car audio has always been a different world from real studio audio.

either way..having just the back window out doesn't really help your acoustics. Sure you can mount subs in the back which would add more low end..but you can't really use that space for highs and mids.

Again tho..your truck..have at it bro. I like to use my bed tho..

 

Don't you come in here and get all excited.

 

in a few weeks ill be throwing on projectors, 6000k HID's, a satoshi, a B.A.M.F BPV relocate, forum-ho announcement stickers, and possiblely some suspension items

 

yeah i would

 

Are you going long travel?

 

yeah i herd they even pull people for thing hanging from the rear view mirror. in richmond you have a 50/50% chance of getting pulled for things like that and 50/50 on the cop being nice or a ***

 

3m?? what are the specs? cost??

You doing a major suspension overhaul??

 

Pretty sure he was kidding about the 3M flares.

 

....

I just woke up and was like Waaaaaa...those have to be Glassworks..haha
