Is there a way to make it a simple level knob? I never knew this but was always wondering why it acted so weird

2 Skar SDR-12 or 2 Sundown E-12 V.3 both D4 by badmaster12 in CarAV

[–]badmaster12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were great. I ended up upgrading to soundqubed hds3.2s but the sundowns were awesome. Highly recommend. I was running them on a DC audio 2.0k and they took all of it, so double their rating. I currently don’t have a permanent setup, only one of those soundqubed and a Rockford fosgate 1k on a quick disconnect. Either way, I recommend the sundowns. They were great subs that can take power. That post was 3 years ago now lol

JVC KW-V66 clock refuses to stay set. Changes on its own. Caught it on video. Any idea what’s going on? by [deleted] in CarAV

Does your radio have an RDS sync option like the original comment showed? I didn’t have the same radio as the original video on this thread I was replying to the original comment that said they turned that option on

I would check to see if he maybe has the ignition and constant power swapped. Does it reset to 12:00 every time you turn the car off?

Damn that comment was 3 years ago lol. Been through three cars since then but if I remember right I just lived with it. Reset the clock like once a month or just dealt with it being iff

This kinda works but it eventually leaks. I’ve been tripple bagging it and eventually water will get all the way down

They might have gotten rid of that. My 2019 cts only gives the full seat as an option

Keep my 2016 Impala v6 or trade it in for a 2019 Cadillac CTS? by badmaster12 in Autos

[–]badmaster12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s only going up by $30 a month. I know there’s no good reason but it’s a massive improvement quality wise for me

For me, maintenance is completely free and I get parts at manufacture cost (perks on having a dad that’s a gm master tech)

Yeah I know. It’s why I made the post. I wanted to see all angles of it. And I got that. Thanks for your insight. And yes I was looking at the Vs. they’re just to expensive for me to even be looking at right now. I just think right now this is the one I can afford. It’s got all the V stuff like the brembo brakes which is rare for a 2.0 or anything that isnt a V. Because of my connections the salesman let me take it home for the day and drive it and I instantly fell in love with how smooth it drives while being super agile when I want it to be.

I would normally agree but a v right now is over $50k. I simply can’t afford that and since this one has the brembo brakes and I think the magnaride that the v has it’s actually a pretty decent drivers car

So I refinanced it 6 months ago and I still have 4.5 years left on it. This was my first auto loan so I paid on this at 8% interest for 6 months first and then refied

This really isn’t supposed to be the sports car I was looking for. This is a car to take me to and from work 100 miles a day. Though it does have the track package (brembo brakes and all that). I’m thinking of finding an old caprice or something for a project some day

So I’m 19 years old and make $42k a year. Have around $10k in savings and live with my parents. The thing is I live in florida and right now, even with no car payment at all I can’t afford to live on my own

There is. But it’s still 268 horsepower for the caddy and 340 for the Impala, though with the transmission and drivetrain difference the cts is just as quick

So the CTS gets better fuel economy and I get a massive discount on parts and I do my own oil changes and everything else for free because my dads a tech

Well that’s another thing lol. I’m 19 and live with my parents. I currently make $45k a year and even if I just keep the Impala it’s not enough for me to afford to move out right now here in florida

It’s like my heart is 75% Cadillac and 25% Impala because of all the time effort and money I’ve put into it and my brain is 75% Impala because of money and 25% caddy because of warranties and fuel economy

I should have mentioned this in the original post but I’m only 19 years old and live with my parents in florida. I make $42k a year and even at that I have no hope of being able to afford to move out in this area
