Electronics
Damn, where to start. Ok, first up. The deal was i couldnt do anything to the car if my grandparents paid 4 the car. So i tried doing things that couldnt be seen. So i installed my 2 Kicker Comp VR's to my stock headunit using a special adapter. It actually sounded badass! Then i said screw it, and started to buy stuff for it. The first mod was the headunit. An Alpine CDA 9827. As soon as i hooked it up, the subs didnt hit as hard, even with EQ tuning. So then i learned the the way i had it hooked to the factory unit puts out a stronger signal than aftermarket RCA hookups. I went through 3 sub amps. 1st was a bazooka 500 watt, then an alpine 700watt, and finally a Rockford Fosgate 1500 watt. The bazooka took a shit, and the alpine just didnt have the right RMS power for my 2ohm subs. That Rockford was an absolute beast! It lasted the lifetime of the car, then died when i let my buddy use it. Shortly after, i bought new speakers. Polk 6x9 DB690's (Great F*in speaker) and some oversized 6 3/4 pioneer TS-A1780's in the front (Nice speaker for a Coaxial) Then one day i was messing with the amp wiring, and blew up my head unit. So i got an Alpine CDA-9833 for my birthday (BADASS headunit!) So for a long time i thought i was sounding pretty damn good.......but i wanted more! So i went 4 channel amp shopping. Found a badass 4 channel amp from Infinity. 111 watts rms per channel!!! After that, the sound quality was incredible!!! Until i cranked it to a point that my front coaxials just couldnt take the abuse like my rear Polks with 100 watt rms handling. So i started my front component speaker project. First i bought a set of Polk DB6750's (BADASS speakers!) but found they didnt fit quite right in the door holes (the mounting bracket was too small) so i attempted to make a wood backplate, but failed due to lack of proper tools. So i had a local custom shop take care of it for me. They couldnt provide the mounts for my tweeters tho, so i had to handle that part. I went to mitsubishi and ordered a set of tweeter mounts from a premium model galant that had factory tweets. Took em home, wired em up and was good to go and clean as a pro.....for the moment. I started having issues with the component speakers cutting off at mid volume. Checked all my wiring (which involved pulling the interior apart) and couldnt find any fault. Then i read about Infiniti's model amp i had having problems running components due to a ohm issue. So here i am up shits creek needing a new amp. So i bought the next best amp i could find at local electronic stores (didnt feel like ordering online again...took too long) which was a MTX 50watt RMSx4 amp. Still a potent little thing and had no problems running my components. and that was what it had in it when i traded it in.

The ol' 02 galant. It was a fun ride, it was clean, sexy, smooth........but too damn slow. I did alot of crazy stuff in this car. Between railroad jumps......stupid broken radiator mounts and easily breakable bumper mounts, lol. Dirt road drifting. Dry pavement drifting, classic tray slides, grass drifting at the local drag track and nearly missing my buddies mustang literally by INCHES, drunk sleeping in the work parking lot, nearly killin ourselves driftin into a curb throwin a shower of sparks from the blown rim, hill climbs, off roading (yea, its been in the mud holes, lol) Throwing bowling balls out the window at 75 MPH at a hood we found that we stood up on a tree (Awsome!) My never ending system build, amps sliding and causing OUTWARD dents in the rear fender, lol. Spare tire burnouts, reverse 180's, hydroplaning inbetween 2 very close cars. LMFAO THE PEP BOYS INTAKE! Bottle Rockets out the windows. Standing out the window while goin down the road. Gettin pulled over on purpose for simple shit like screaming yeehaw at cops and blasting toby kieth. blowin out a rim doing a reverse 180 in a small 2 lane neighborhood rd. Damn, im really startin to miss that car now. Im sure the list could go on too.
My Other Rides
Purchased in june 2007 for 11K. Had 72,000K miles on it, so there have been a few minor repairs needed. Now theres a BIG repair needed. My trannys syncro is gone bad, so third gear grinds unless you shift VERY slowly. Also the rear end is giving out (damn clutch based diff's) probly due to the constant drifting and donuts. DK stang
