[Shotimes] painted side mirrors

[Jason Hartberger]

Howdy all, we decided to paint the side mirrors today... my wife wanted 
hers royal blue to match her car and I wanted mine repainted black... 
boy is that a chore! we were changing both our front speakers and we 
figured, while the door panels are off... anyway, it took all day, from 
11 in the morning to 9 at night. I would highly recommend doing this for 
anybody thinking about it. You have to take the door panel off and those 
three bolts that hold the mirror on like to fall in the door so you have 
to be careful of that but the effect is well worth it. My car looks 
immeasurably better. Maybe I'll write a write-up about it someday if 
somebody wants it.

Anyhoo, I have a question. why does my wife's premium system have so 
much more bass than my JBL system does? I have Pioneer 6x9s in the rear 
plus an MTX 8" sub in a bored out JBL enclosure plus 6.5" Pioneers in 
the front, and my wife has pioneer 6x8s in the back and the same 
speakers in front. She doesn't have a subwoofer. (yet, she says) Her 
speakers, however, blow the doors (almost literally) off of my system. 
What gives? I read somewhere that the JBL amp has a low freq filter on 
it to cut the bass to the corner speakers and have it go exclusively to 
the sub. My sub is not *@#)%@# loud enough. I guess I'd have to get a 
new amp to rectify this situation? I know the speakers I have are more 
than capable of putting out bass. Especially those 6x9s that I worked 
for like 8 hours to get into the car (lots of dremel-lovin').

Carbs are fun. I'm glad the SHO got fuel injection. (just got a 1985 
Honda CB650 that sat for a year so the carbs got nice and GUMMY)

please ignore me, I've been huffing paint fumes all day :D.
