1170 is the basic width of the theme. You could go into the CSS and try to change it, but as the whole theme is based on the twitter bootstrap of that width, I wouldn’t try.
You could try adding some position: absolute declarations in your CSS, but again, it could get very messy in a responsive theme.
Well that makes some sense, but the slider does go full width. All I really want to do is use a more sophisticated slider plugin in place of the generic slider

And that makes better sense! 🙂
But the carousel is given this leeway by the code that defines the basic page layout. Anything other than the header/slider/footer is contained within the 1170. You would need to radically alter the page layout—in the code—to allow yourself to move beyond it.
