Lightbulb Stock headunit & speakers suggestion...

for those of you who still use your stock headunit, and think that the stock speaker sucks..

try to max the bass and the treble..(+6)

then, make sure to "C" the balance....

and set the FADER to "R2," means set 2 points to the rear speaker..

then, try to listen to Usher's newest song....bong bong bong bong...
set the volume to 2 bars....

feel the sound better?

huwahahaha

same thing with different deck...but still with the same stock speaker...

the idea is, we've to move the sound 2 point to the rear speaker in order to divide the sound properly...

by doing this, u will notice the nice part about stock's rear speaker bass....and, the nice part of front stock speaker+tweeter's sound quality..

IF you want ROUNDER bass, try 3 points to rear speaker...u'll notice the bass will sounds better...

it's a boom boom..it's nice...

hm, how about TATU?

The stock speakers stilll suck, so does the stock head unit.

For those of you with stock speakers and head unit...

1) go rob a bank
2) buy a new HU
3) buy some components
4) buy a nice amp
5) listen to that same song again

cool, hehe, i was just joking.....

I had stock speakers and a stock HU in my car once too....it took me 4 days until i had time off from work to install my stuff from my old car.....for those 4 days it was nice having my hu lights match the interior lights of my instrument cluster. It was also nice having a brand new car.....3 yrs and 3 months til i get my 02 paid off and get that feeling again....if i trade in to by new right away that is.

But if you waited near a cheap motel, most likely the prom-goers wouldn't have much money since they were going to a cheap motel right?

My senior yr prom night i was one of those kids with no cash to spare at the cheap motel, to this day i can't see how i could have been so desparate to rent from such a $hithole........I remember being woken up the next day by some crackhead prostitues argueing outside.

Whenever i happen to drive by the place it makes me wonder how i could have been so dumb...and young....and stupid....and CHEAP.

Crud, i should have just done an hourly room rate and been home by daylight


OK maybe we can spawn this post back to the Off-Topic section....everyone can input to how cheap their prom-night hotels were.........mine was $35/night back in 1996.......i don't think i've stayed at a hotel for less than $70/night since then
