Once they see your ride, you get revd.......

Man, I just recently installed my Altezza's last night, and today on my way back from the mall, I got cut off by some red cheap a$$/bondod/babyblue body kit/ no hood/ honda civic. That sucker cut me off, him came from behind me from the middle lane, he came out of nowhere. He stayed infront of me for the longest time, unfortunatley I was with my girlfriend, and she gets freaked out, when I'm speeding, so I had to let that crap car go, then after I dropped her off, I went home, at a stop light, I rolled up besides a ponitac grand prix, I was just bummin the radio, and these fools give me that look like, (I'll smoke you) so I was like whatever, so the light hits green and I smash the pedal, tires peel a little, and I took off, I could see from behind he floored it too, I just kept going, he was trying to catch up but he was getting caught up in traffic, and well he turned left. So much for that. But any how I've been getting this kinda of stuff since I've installed my exhaust and my altezza's. I do like the extra attention, but not that crazy $hit where you'll follow a fixed up car, cutting people off to catch up to him, just to rev at him, and so forth. Oh well, there in for a surprise, I'll tell you that.

What do you expect when you put that ****ty *** garbage on your car, especially on a white car. That's what you get for making your car look like ***. Unless they're black/cf gen2 altezzas those look a bit better...

Because of the reason you stated, you get hassled by pansy rice boys. I already have a loud exhaust but apparently it must sound really good/deep cause they don't mess with me. If I had a fart can cannister I'd be racing at every light. Also the maxima altezzas really look like ****. Unless you make them into skyline tails they are awfull. Even the dark ones, cf and black, look ricey as hell...

Do that and all the ***** you put in the car are going out the window. Why would anyone need subs, let alone 3? Put 2 loudspeakers in the rear deck and you have nice thump without the 200lbs of crap in the trunk...

A) Cutting holes large enough for subwoofers in your rear deck will mess with the structural integrity of your car.

B) A well put together stereo is worth the extra 100lbs it puts in your car (imo)

C) Altezza's do not add "*****" to your car, and neither does a cat-back exhaust.

....

D) (personal opinion) Altezza's belong on ...... Altezzas.

does anyone here have the carbon fiber altezzas as shown here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2439040680

i think they would look a lot better than the regular chrome altezzas.

Can't we all just get along?!?

Okay guys listen...I know i'm relatively new here, but just because you don't care for something doesn't mean you should put them down. I don't like certain things about cars...keeping it bone stock with teeny rims and just do nothing with it but engine mods...but that's my thing, everyone has their own opinion. I like the altezzas, and frankly to a point i like the ricer look (but clean, not ridiculously stupid). And i know a ton of you guys on the forum like bone-stock, no visual mods, don't care about a stereo, etc., but that's your game. leave them alone!

second, subwoofers in the trunk make so much more of a difference than some 6x9s with an amp...subs will create that low-end rumble that only subwoofers can produce...some big speakers in the back window will only bring through highs. a 10 can be great for anything all around with punch, 12's are good, nice mix of rumble and punch, while 15s shake the ground, but leaves the punch up to the front speakers. 8's are nice for jazz, blues, and some rock. And, the average speaker weighs only about 10-30 lbs...and they all have different weights. with a box tops for 1 speaker should be about 50...enough to compromise about 1 hp. Also, the smaller the magnet, the less the power, which means you can get a small 12lb subwoofer in a 8lb mdf box, with a 6 lb amp, 26lbs, run about 100 watts, more than enough for any stock (or basic aftermarket) system.

Also, "*****" for the car would be anything that adds aggressiveness and/or power. While to one a CF hood may look awful and a waste of money, the next may see it looks great and decreases overall vehicle weight. A hi-flow cat may not improve looks, but sure will give you an extra hp or two, maybe enough time to smoke that civic that's been waiting for you. Such as altezzas, stereo, springs, anything of the sort...I can tell you from my experience a kickin stereo will get my adrenaline running higher when running wot, and keeps me more alert to notice things on the road. It's my favorite thing about my car. but someone else who doesn't care as much about music may get all the rush he/she needs from a can of nitrous and a high-output engine.

Just my $.02, don't yell at someone or tell them their ideas suck because you don't like them. Yell at someone if they crash their max into a concrete wall on purpose.

Funny that everyday a new dude goes "Okay guys listen...I know i'm relatively new here, but just because you don't care for something doesn't mean you should put them down'. Everyday the same thing. Actually it is OK for us to put him down. If he didn't want opinions or whatever he wouldn't post it here. It's a FORUM, open for discussion...

Loudspeakers/subs? What?!? We need to have a serious chat, subs rarely come in 6.5" sizes, and they usually aren't in a loudspeaker/sub combo. Loudspeakers? - Maybe you mean midranges or coaxials, possibly component system if you have seperate tweeters, but 6.5" doesn't really give you anything comparable to having subs in the trunk. I wouldn't be writing this, but lately you've been really [REALLY] obnoxious to people who ask questions. You expect them to speak the automotive language fluently, and are going off on people way too much. Get a life. No, really, I mean it.

I don't think I'm the one who needs a life. I don't write 2 page responses to everything you say. Also you seem to know what I post so maybe getting a life is something you should look into. The whole sub thing is really stupid to me. You put all that **** in the trunk and you never use more than 1/2 of it. On most the cars it sounds like *** cause the idiot doesn't know what dynamat is. As for the loudspeakers theyare single cones with a low frequency range...

I have to agree with se007...the posts i have seen that you have posted has been nothing but cussing someone else out because you don't like their opinion. sure, i do understand that it is a forum for all to discuss, but no one has the right to tell someone what they like or don't like is ****. constructive criticism vs abusive criticism.

and loudspeakers...okay...those are basically the same thing as a sub, except with a little wider range, just in a different form. They are great for home stereo, as what they are designed for, opposed to car stereo. I'm not gunna put my technics home stereo speakers in my trunk, i want something designed for the dynamic range of a car. also, a good set of subs with a correctly dynamatted trunk sounds awesome. i don't get down with 18 subs pumpin out 7000 watts each, shaking a home the next state over (how are you gunna hear any high-end with that much power on your lows?!?), i'm only runnin 2 10's in a bandpass with about 125w going to each, with roughly 27w continuous to each of the front stage speakers. i don't need dynamat, my trunk barely rattles. sounds beautiful.

just all we're asking is to respect others. I don't call you a ******** for having certain things in your car, i don't expect you to say my choice of tail lights is ****ty.

The only reason I know what you post is that 90% of the threads I look at have you going off on someone. I don't know what your problem is (well, actually I do, it's called immaturity) and maybe you should learn to deal with you anger in other ways. Prozac may be the answer, who knows. Going off on people is mostly all you do on here. THAT'S how I know what you post. I'm not accusing only you of doing it, but you are the only one on here who seems to be dedicating their time on the .org to putting people down. Thanks, Dave, I totally agree with you. Ivelweyz, even Dave who is admittedly new on here sees how you are. People are starting to get tired of IT. (the IT being YOU!!!)

WOW thanks you for that insight OPRAH. Immaturity might be one of your problems not mine. How are you going to say I get on people for their opinions when the only reason this is going on is because you got your panties in a bunch because of my OPINION. Also I want to see how many people you actually helped or answered a question to. Half my stuff may be piising people off but the other half is 10x more helpfull then the crap you post...

1. "WOW thanks you for that insight OPRAH"- Yet another mature comment that came from nowhere...
2. "Immaturity might be one of your problems not mine" - Reminds me of kindergarten days on the playground ("I know you are, but what am I?) Come on Ivelweyz...
3. "How are you going to say I get on people for their opinions when the only reason this is going on is because you got your panties in a bunch because of my OPINION." - I didn't get my panties (I wear boxers, by the way) in a bunch because of your opinion. I simply was annoyed by your childish remarks which you are so full of, putting people down, calling names, you know, grown up stuff.
4. "Also I want to see how many people you actually helped or answered a question to. Half my stuff may be piising people off but the other half is 10x more helpfull then the crap you post..." - Well, I'm not on here every free minute of my time, and when I do come on here, I try to be constructive with my posts, not rude, childish, and spiteful. Since you want examples of my helpful posts, I did a write up the other day for someone who wanted to put in a resistor in place of their knock sensor, and recieved a personal e-mail from them thanking me for the help and the well written writeup. They had a few questions for me which I responded to them. There's your example. I don't see wheere you get CRAP from my posts. Let's see what your next thoughtless, rude, non-constructive comment is...

Mayeb you should check out the reast of the thread and the other thread HE made. Almost all the MODERATORS were going off on him for posting BS. They made it a sticky cause they knew he was full of it. Maybe some other example cause that one as really bad...

You seem to have that effect by stating a lot of stuff that isn't necessarily true.

Show me some decent quality 6.5" speakers that can produce frequencies of 30-60hz at a 100-115dB output. 175 watts sure as hell going to do it, it might make a neat smoke show when you blow them up though.
