  1. Thank you guys for all the well wishes, I'm feeling better and haven't had any issues lately, thankfully! My heart went into A-fib the night of March 31 while I was asleep I guess? I woke up at about 4am to my 10 month old son crying and while helping the wife tend to him I noticed my heart felt like it was beating randomly. I asked her to feel my chest and she agreed. I went back to sleep until 7am and when I woke it was still doing it. I tried to take my blood pressure and the blood pres machine couldn't read me and just gave me errors. It always works so I knew something was up. I still drove myself to work though as I "felt" fine. After being at the office for about 30 minutes my partner Juan suggested that I go to the Urgent Care because it is nearby, nice, and you shouldn't "fuck around with that" - in his words. I drove myself there too. They got me in and did an EKG, told me I was in Arterial Fibrillation and my pulse was around 170 beats/min and that the Ambulance was coming for me. Now in the back of an ambulance headed to the ER the paramedic is explaining to me that my heart rate is now over 200 beats/min and I would probably end up having a rather bad day including passing out and having a date with the defibrillator. They started giving me injections of something that would make my heart slow down while on the bus ride, but it did nothing for me. Still at 200 bpm arriving to the ER. They starting doing lots of blood work, x-rays, sonagrams of my heart and administering different drugs to slow it. Long story short, 10 hours later my heart had returned to normal rhythm and pace. Then I had to spend the next 24 hours on different drugs and tests because I was at a high risk for a blood clot and stroke from being in A-fib for as long as I was. I'm on a med now to keep the heart chill, the reason all this went down is still unknown but my cardiologist says 75% chance its from sleep apnea. Did a sleep study a few weeks ago, get the results tomorrow. The class D hate will live on! Thanks guys! Tony D

  2. I was thinking something similar. Will there be a weather-proof/resistant model at any time do you think, Steve? These can get wet without any problem. Not sure what "weather proof" is going to do for you to be honest. I would have no problem using these in a boat so i think your car will be fine.

  4. Thanks a lot Karkov! I've seen your work and you do some clean ass work also. Hell yea, go ahead and copy it. But I can't take the credit, Steve and his team made some bad ass fuse blocks and the install wouldn't look half as good without them.

  6. Get well soon man. Make sure you tell all those nurses and doctors taking care of you about how you turned a defibrillator into an amp.
