The One and Only Big D Thread

You deserve a custom title for this post alone. Maybe something like "master of hugs." Or "likes giving hugs"?

 

In my hometown we usually call these free handies, but whatever floats your boats.

 

I'd be interested in thoughts on your Maxima SE.

I bought a 1990 back in 1995. Looks like you have a 92-94. I really wanted a 92 (for the extra 20 horsepower over the 90) but I was in a time crunch and finding a manual transmission on one of these was harder than I thought it would be. Mine came with the factory Bose stereo. I didn't like the Bose home systems I had heard and looked on that as a negative, until I heard it. It actually sounded very pleasant. It seemed like Bose did some trickery with the imaging and to make the sound seem more smooth. It worked for me. It probably didn't hurt that I was listening to quality cassettes that I made from LPs.

It was trouble free for the first 8 years (except for clutch cylinders). That 9th year it started nickel & diming me too much and I decided to trade it in. I really enjoyed driving that car.

 

It's a cold world out there...

Sounds moist...

It's a '92 Manual with limited slip differential. I bought it new. My second one. I had the '89 on a lease. I was friends with the owners son of the Nissan in town and he calls me and tell me about the '92 and he has one for me to test drive. I said that I couldn't afford it and I have another year on the lease. Well I took it for a test drive and it was so freakin much nicer with the limited slip and the 32 valves per cylinder, Variable Valve Timing and the Corduroy Seats. So I said that's nice and was prepared to go on my merry way. So he says to me... "take it home and show it to the wife". Give me $400 and you can have a 3 year lease on the car and I will take your Silver '89. So for $400 I got that car and then at the end if the lease I bought it out. Bose system was good enough to not install new stereo for 13 years. Now has killer system. Glad you got to enjoy the car. Great vechicle, one of the best 4 door cars ever made IMO.

 

Maxima is heavily modified now.

 

That would be interesting. It looks like maybe it is setting a bit lower. And it is one of your "mega stereo models".

 

@Dino
Yes amazing stereo. Here is trunk.....

 

I have another battery on the other side just for the lighting. It is independant and I charge it with my battery charger. No noise then in the stereo signal then.

 

I have another amp at the ready for the middle...... if I so desire to go crazier with power.

 

I have 2 of these Pioneer Stage 4 subwoofers going in the back seat of the FRS in square non ported boxes with handles for easy removal.

 

This is the Pioneer Class D amp that I have to run the Stage 4 subs and the Soundstream Capacitor. Plus a have a Battery similar to the one in the Maxima as well.




The system will only be running 1200 watts with the Stage 4 subs. I have more subs that I can place in the back seat instead 12" Pioneer Competitions and get the full 2400 watts. But I don't need to blow out the thin glass of the FRS.

 

That's 8 gauge OFC wire above the Soundstream Cap for the Stage 4 sub speaker wiring.

 

Very well said. ;-)

 

So still didn't get the message on perusing the Return key and/or the Edit button?

Thru a lot of hair pulling and a whole lot of craziness and the help of SBAF the system is sounding superb. Hoping I like the Mark Levinson No.331 and will keep it as the amplifier of choice for my rig. Thanks everyone for putting up with me. I'm going to be a good boy now. Dennis



PS: I'll try to get a pic of the RELs with the covers off when I can. They look cool with the aluminium construction.

 

Thanks guys for the LL Cool J. Dat guy has matured into the baddest coolest dude I know. Lip Synce Battle, NCIS: Los Angeles. Smoooooooooooth. With the right amount of bad. My hero. Thanks again.
