  1. Bartender checking in.

    not many of these things will work. I'll share what I know to be true through research and alcohol classes I have attended.

    Drinking water throughout the night is double sided. Meaning, you're not going to drink as much alcohol if you're drinking water because you are less thirsty, therefor not wanting to drink at all. booooo

    Eating something fatty before drinking will slow the absorption rate of alcohol. This only affects the rate at which you get drunk though, nothing to do with hangovers.

    caffeine is so stupid to mix with alcohol, ESPECIALLY energy drinks. I dont even know why it's legal still to be honest. People assume the main reason is because you're mixing a stimulant with a depressant, but there's a lot more to it. The caffeine and sugar take effect first. meaning you feel fine and dandy after 3 jagerbombs, actually you can concentrate better than before taking the shots. That is because the caffeine goes into affect way before alcohol. Once you crash from the energy, you're at the peak of the effects of alcohol and it hits you even harder.

    Drinking water throughout the night is a struggle and you will be spending more time in the bathroom than you will with your friends. The effects of alcohol make the kidneys flush everything, alcohol and water included. It's not until after detox that you can finally become fully hydrated. Eating something may make you puke the next day because alcohol messes up the lining in your stomach and you have a bunch of shit sitting in your weaker stomach now.

    Taking painkillers helps with the headache, but your liver already hates you. Well, a lot more than your liver hates you. Alcohol affects every organ in your body except the organ in your ear.

    Stay with clear alcohols to have less of a chance of a hangover.

    I know I'm way late on this subject but I just wanted to chime in. Hope everybody had fun!

  2. the xl is a good sounding woofer but by no means an SQ woofer

    WOW really...considering a lot of people refer to the XL as DCs SQ woofer.

    to OP...with the right box and proper power you can make it sound nice, tight, snappy and accurate.

    may be their sq sub, but I wouldn't call it an sq sub :D

    EDIT: ninjad, but no harm intended. you know me :P

  3. When using buss bars and battery banks remember that d/c current flows like water so there is a certain way you'll need to hook things up so everything works as one. Never hook batteries up where the positive and negative are across from each other with buss bars cause d/c current will take the path of least resistance and go through battery number one and bypass all the rest even though they are all connected. You need to hook positives at one end of the buss bars or bank of batteries and negatives to the other side of the buss bars or battery bank, cause if the electron can't travel through all the batteries then the ones it can't travel through are wasted.

  4. Haha wow, metal is metal, don't matter if it is a bar or round wire, conducts the same, in dc conductive metal doesn't have capacitance like it would in a AC environment.

    Explain capacitance in a ac enviroment sir? The use buss bars in every panel I've seen to distribute power to breakers. I think buss bars for batterrys is cleaner looking more efficient and allows current to flow easier yes.as far as all metals conducting the same. Not even close. For example stainless and brass are low on the list. The least corrossive ones usually are. Stick with copper and aluminum. Or have some silver ones made up if your balling lol

    fixed. using gold would be stupid. less conductive than copper. only reason it's used a bunch is because it doesn't corrode as fast as the others.

  5. Pretty basic question, lol. What's it put out at 8 ohms?

    Looking to power four 8" midrange speakers with it, but having a hard time finding speakers that can handle it's power.

    I would bridge the channels and run two 8ohm speakers per bridge, but finding 8" midranges that can take 250rms each is not possible, lol. And finding a 4ohm speaker than can handle 175rms is just as hard.

    So yeah, how much power at 8ohms?

    Or recommend 4 speakers for me that can handle the amp at 4 ohms.

    Thanks :)

    if you bridged your 8's it would only be 175 watts per speaker. 175 watts for midbass is feasible. there's plenty of options out there.
