    Has anyone else gotten Second Skin damplifier 40 pounders that smelled very strongly of cats once they opened it? Or was there just something special about mine?

    Getting real tired of rolling and sliding to the edge of my rack when I try to sleep, and the barrage of shoes and boots falling off the tops of racks throughout berthing.

      I worked for NOAA back when I was 18 and understand. We did a trip from Miami to Iceland and were in 50+ foot seas. My room was under the galley. Heard crap banging around while trying to sleep.  I would stack pillows behind me and get up close to the bulkhead so I wouldn't roll out of my rack. Everything that could tip over we tipped it before hand but crap still kept falling out of our lockers, the doors would fly open and bang. It was hard to sleep for a few weeks. It was hard to work in the engine room also with the heat and the rolling and pitching. Queeze stomach all the time.

      Our Bennigans closed :( but got a Dublin's in the same building and pretty much the same menu.

      I'm not sure if the Bahrain Dublin's had a good food menu or not.... But they have a pretty great bar :)

    SMD plus some beers while inport really gets me missing the tahoe. Need some bass back in my life. Halfway mark... :)

    Torn between 5 XP3000's, or one XS 15k lithium. About the same price, but will the lithium match the 5 AGM's?

      I am a fan of these lithiums. Weight savings are awesome.

    3. _paralyzed_

      _paralyzed_

      You can get away with less wire, less terminals and less alternator with lithium as well. That adds up to even more money and weight savings.

    4. reedal

      reedal

      Would ~800A of max output total from three alts be too much for one lithium battery...? Assuming I was drawing that much current from the battery to the amps in the first place from five amps..

    Abu Dhabi!!!! They have corona. Bahrain does not. Abu Dhabi wins in my book :)

  13. reedal

    anyone besides CJ from droppinhz have an amp dyno in virginia?

  14. reedal

    Bahrain has made me realize what wet clothes inside of a dryer feel like... it's too damn hot and gross for me. but the shawarma's are some of the best things i've ever eaten.

      Not a problem! Thank you for the great sale, making it so I couldn't put off buying deadener any longer. Next year after deployment I'll have to get some of the other goodies to go with it. Definitely going to need some CCF and MLV to take the cake of getting these doors a little quieter ;)

  18. reedal

    Second Singer hairpin, or shit ton of second skin.... I'm thinking get the second singer because I'll need more alt once I hook up the two 2-channels. And I'll upgrade from the 3.5k one day I suppose.... Thoughts?

      The 40lber is cheap enough that if you get one you should just use all of it, no not everywhere will need 100% coverage but you'll have some problem areas that will need it.

      Shit Tons of Second Skin!!!! :-)

    four AA Chaos 15's on my SQ-3500 non-walled is what i'm thinking. leave for deployment, save save save all the monies, come home, buy second skin, tear apart interior, etc., finish HAT front stage, buy four chaos', build new enclosue, rock out. i'm estimating $2.5-3k

      How come? What would be the difference in a daily on 3.5k? I ask because I don't know.

  22. reedal

    i don't like how on PC if i click on a thread, it starts at the beginning instead of the last post in that thread i saw, like it does on mobile. SMD mobile > SMD PC

      got it. thank you. i only use mobile when i'm home. but i'm kind of unable to receive cell service on the ship, so PC is the only way to go. appreciate it!!!

    vaping is turning out good. i've only had ~10 cigarettes since i bought it. it's not the same, but i'm making do. definitely didnt bring enough juice or coils for a 5 week underway though :(

    1. OrionStang

      OrionStang

      Whats the policy on vaping onboard? Designated areas only?

    2. Jessica

      Jessica

      good luck

    3. reedal

      reedal

      @ Orion - yeah, only in the designated area. which sucks cause all i smell is smoke when i go out, but you can't win every battle.

      @ duck, thanks man. I just couldn't get off of them cold turkey.

  24. reedal

    What can I use to mount the L4 to the pillar baffle without tearing up the MDF from mounting and unmounting for test fitting and mockups? I feel like after a couple times of screwing in and out that the threads would no longer hold it in place.

      I'll give the threaded inserts a shot... Just worried that the MDF might be too soft for it since its counter sunk to almost 1/4"

      what about high strength velcro for now?

    4. ALPINE408

      ALPINE408

      deck screws? as long as you don't over torque them I have used the same mounting holes tons of times

  25. reedal

    Two and four channel amps have the signal exiting from the negative speaker output of the second and fourth channel, so wouldn't that mean that the speakers on those channels are out of phase from channels 1 & 3 if you wire positive to positive and negative to negative?
