  • RF are kinda mid and overpriced imo.

    It all depends on your budget/power/space requirements but generally my go to’s are JL Audio, DC Audio, Sundown, and best bang for your buck is by far NVX.

    DC/Sundown if you want some seriously loud bass (SPL). JL Audio is also a bit overpriced but you can find used W4/W6 all day for really good prices and I think they have the best mix of power and sound quality. I am personally running two NVX 8” in a ported enclosure in the spare wheel compartment in my vw alltrack off of a 500w rms amp and they get crazy loud for being only 8” and I have them tuned to about 30-32hz and they get pretty damn low and sound very good. I would recommend NVX all day, but if you can get a good price I would probably still get some JL Audio subs. Can’t go wrong with either though as long as you match it with the right size amp and box.


  • Love the idea of making one! I would join. But as far as already established communities, the http://www.diymobileaudio.com/ forum is by far the best place. Really knowledgeable people and they are really nice. They’ve helped with a few of my projects.

    To answer your question, I would like to ask if you are specifically looking for a head unit running android, or just a head unit with a screen and can use android auto with your phone. If it is the latter then I would recommend kenwood or an alpine unit. If you have any questions about the specific model lmk. We can talk further based on your needs 👍


  • I am really sorry that you are going through this. I really appreciate all of the people in these comments who are dispelling the myth of laziness. It’s hard not to fall into the hole of guilt and shame, and it’s something I really needed to hear right now. But to me it does sound like you are experiencing burnout, and maybe depression? I have ADHD and after about the 1 year mark I get very bored with work and it starts to take a very real toll on me so I start to under perform and it makes me feel really guilty. So I am trying to be more kind to myself and give myself some grace and acceptance.




  • I had a “friend breakup” in high school with a long time friend because we were getting into some heavy shit and I knew I couldn’t keep going down that path. During the final argument he said with pain in his eyes “and you never even remembered or got me anything for my birthdays and I always made sure to do something for you!” I’m sorry Bobby, I had undiagnosed ADHD and I still have a hard time remembering anyone’s birthdays. I’ve come to expect nothing because I assume I’ve never given anything.


  • The thing that immediately comes to mind is a cheap telescoping fly swatter. . Old radio antenna style shaft / handle. The part that’s supposed to swat the flies was a massive square that was way too heavy and had so much drag that it would flop and never hit flat and was too slow because of it. Never once was able to kill a fly and after about the fifth try the handle broke in half and the top flew off launching into the great Beyond. Pretty sure it’s still lodged behind a couch somewhere.
