My rearview mirror just snapped off. This was done courtesy of 2 Eclipse Aluminums and 2 800 watt Fosgates...

Its been shaky for the longest time , and now it just snapped off !

Any ideas on an alternate replacement , besides having to go to Nissan and get raped for an OEM replacement ?

I pulled over into a parking lot and tok these pics...

 

lol I'm waiting for that to happen to me too. 2 L5 10s and 900w rms profile...the profile is still low end so i know im not getting all 900, thinking about going rf 850

 

one word -- junkyard!

 

another one word: WARRANTY.

or at least try.

 

get one with a TV in it!

 

Are you saying that the sound waves from your stereo system broke yout mirror?

 

Cant be the sound waves, had to be defective.

 

I do know that the mirror vibrates EASILY. With the stock BOSE it rattles a little. I just put in a 140w amp with a 12" sub and it rattles the mirror. I wired up the amp and tapped EVERYTHING off of the stock wires. EVERYTHING: speaker input, ground, turn on lead and yes... the power cable (probably like 20 gauge wire or something.) I just didn't feel like tearing apart my interior and running cables to the front of the car.

 

See what Dave B can do for ya.

 

hmm your lucky your ear drum didn't snap... i rock some high rms too, but never play loud, just for SQ.


Get a cheap one, who cares. one with like a compas in it or something ; )

 

yeah man, thats BS...subs cant snap that...no way!

Get that **** fixed under wntty and if not, call nissan and complain!

 

Um, you forgot to give us the most important detail... what song was playing when it snapped off?

G

 

Ludacris - Act a Fool (2f2f theame song)




I totalled my 2k singing that

 

haha whenever i watch that movie and that song comes on i drool all over myself and get really souped to drive becasue i get to see the SKYLINE manuvering down the highway

-J

 

Same thing happened to mine and goldmembers. Goldmembers just like urs, mine, the whole fuggin mirror came off. I ride without one, no need for it, tint is too dark to see out at night, subs shake it too much to see with it during the day...

 

Haha! -Nelson

JK dude. I'd go with the warranty route.

 

I get the feeling that my mirror will rattle off sometime.. I use it religiously though, even while I can't see anything. Why? I am constantly checking for popo's..

 

Actually Igor, it DID snap off due to the Bass....It snaped in two at its weakest point. Like Phat said, I know this had happened to Goldmember. The only good thing is I dont have to hear that POS rattle all the time. I got a call from Nissan saying that it retails for 600 bucks.......yeah right ! I will just get an aftermarket one , since I need it to keep an eye out for POPOS....
I was playing " Whats Beef "..Notorious Big with both my rear seats down... at full blast when I saw it shake in a weid way and just SNAP !........

 

yeah having those seats down makes a HUGE diff!

When my friend lowered my seats i was like

 

damn kloogy.....how is your hearing?

 

Lowering your seats should give you almost 3dB, which is like doubling the output of your subs.

 

lets just say the hair on my head was dancing lol

But I think it also has to do with my new setup that I havn't quite gotten use to yet

 

What did you say......huh....?

 

get one of those ricey broadway mirrors --but you will lose the auto dim feature

I want one for the beater car

 

The broadway mirror slips over the stock one....my stock one No worky no mo...

 

Damn, Kloog... you can't be rollin with BiG in the West, man... What's wrong with you?

You need some TuPaC Thuglife [insert "W" symbol here] in your ride

G

 

2pac was the track before it.."Made ******"....

 

See, now I have something to look forward too. 1200+ rms in a box ported to 27hz...Yeah I think I going to break off more then the mirror Hopefully all will be done this weekend

 

aaaaaaaaahahhahah lol
the mirror got tired of yo azz bumpin all the time, it needs a break
frank?

 

Kloogy,
If you werent adjusting it back and forth all the time to see both how many cops were behind you AND admire how purdy you are, then it may not have broken. Haaaaaaaaa

 

If you get time and are out next week cruise by the shop!

 

There is NO WAY a mirror snapped that caused by your speakers. In the law of Physics, that is made of metal. if it snapped like that, then your windows would shattered too Something is fishy. It was probably a preexisiting defect. Come on, what did you really do?

 

Will do, but I doubt im going to be able to show you guys what its capable of til early january. It should more then me broken in by then. Ill stop by whenever I get some spare time next week though

 

Seriously, the system broke it off. I have seen the results in two local rides here, phatman's & goldmembers. Both have less total output then kloogys setup, im actually surprised it lasted as long as it did. Serisouly though, a system that hits 130+ db will destroy the mirror.

 

Kloogy, might want to look into one off a Durango or Dakota, it attaches to the windsheild and you they have the autodimming on it. Just an idea

oh, if you decide to buy new call up DaveSmithMotors (just add a .com to it) and mention DodgeTrucks.com for a discount, I forget how much.

 

eh marica....why don't you just buy mine....i'm thinking of taking it down very soon. hit me up, we talk

 

This wouldn't happen to you if you would stop trying to look at your ***** with it. It doesn't bend down that far dummy.

 

Ha HA

 

That's freaking awesome! Rockin Big, Pac...and your mirror snaps off. lol

Someone said it eariler...junkyard. I'm pretty sure your'll be able to find an autodim/compass mirrior for cheap. (well, cheaper than the stealership.)

 

werd, junkyard or get an AE mirror
