  1. Eight days underway, and I come home to goodies from soundqubed and dolarbilz pics to come after I take a real shower and enjoy the comfort of not being in uniform again
  2. Buy, build, listen, rebuild, listen, buy, rebuild, repeat.

  3. At this moment I have 2 PA mids rated for 100wrms and 2 soft done tweets rated for 30wrms running active off of a 90x4. How much power is actually going to them? :shrugs: but it keeps up with my two 12's wired for 2600wrms on most songs, some songs it's too much for the 12's, others it's not enough. Placement is more important, and what speakers you use. Not all songs are created equally, so sometimes there's more or less output in certain frequency ranges.
  4. Welllll just pulled the trigger on my first order of sound deadener ever. 72ft^2 of SoundQubed Q-Mat. Also bought two more of their PA's and their soft dome tweeters. Gonna redo the doors. Two 6.5's per door, one AQ and one SQ (two total) tweeters in each A-pillar, drivers side aiming at passenger, and vise-versa, powered by my AQ 90x4, one per channel. Each door will be powered by a AQ 200.2, since I just bought two off of dolarbilz. Mids and highs will have PLENTY of headroom at 4ohm each per channel. Now I just need to buy some more wire, 1/0 to 4ga inputs, some Y-splitters, and wood for a new enclosure at some point. The wife is NOT going to be happy......
  5. Sometimes on channels 2 & 4 on four channel amps the signal comes through the negative terminal. Try that. That's how it is on my AQ 90x4. I think it even has that in the DD-1 manual as a trouble shooting step.
  6. anyone have the WinISD .wrd file for the SoundQubed HDS312D2? I copied the parameters from their site but WinISD says its invalid, and then force-closes when i click "create".

      Cool thanks man. I should be able to adjust it I think. I'll take a look when I get home today

  7. Seems to be a lot of butt-hurt due to lack of patience lately. "No one answered me fast enough, wahhh".

  8. Much appreciated. Should be back the following week for sure in the chance I'm unable to access the site next week. Thank you for being awesome!
  9. Already have you guys liked on Instagram and Facebook, check the website regularly afraid to push the checkout button. Not sure if I'll be able to respond promptly next week when the winners are chosen if I happen to get lucky (due to shipboard things), so how long will you guys wait for a response from the winners?
  10. Possible shorter lifespan. But that's more likely if they sit without use/charge for days at a time. In a daily driver, don't worry about it, but it still wouldn't hurt to replace the stock with a similar AGM battery
  11. No. Not stinger. Singer. www.singeralternators.com And make sure you contact someone with an inquiry from the other two companies as well. The best three in the business.
  12. It's not going to hurt to mix the batteries unless it's a vehicle that sits for days at a time. It's recommended to get either the D or S series equivalent of your stock battery though. Better life and performance. You don't need a HO alt but it may help. Those amps love to gulp down the current from what has been said by most members here. So the more current your alt can supply, the more efficient an inefficient amp becomes (in a sense). I say jump on that 240A if you can. Have you checked with singer alternators, mechman, and DC power inc? Actually emailed/talked to them and not just looked at their website? Not everything is always listed.
  13. Thought I'd take a quick video on my way home tonight. One day I'll find a good spot to park and get a full video tour.
  14. 120k miles on the Tahoe today. Plan on getting a tune-up (new plugs & wires, filters/fluids) anything else I should make sure gets looked at/changed out? My brother in-law works at a shop down the road so I usually just pay for the cost of parts and he'll knock it out.

      Yes. Personal preference.

  15. Busted my ass for two weeks doing another work centers job for them, stayed late, came in on the weekends instead of being home with the wife, getting the ship ready for a certification assessment, don't get shit. Someone else spends a day with them for one thing, they get a letter of commendation from the CO. Hooyah go navy -__-

      seems like a lot of that going on. The retard ball munchers, are getting promoted, and the none ass kissing workers that keep the plant running, are getting shit on. Still,... the reason i dont sleep well at night, has nothing to do with my work ethic..... nothing.

      ass kissers.. something i will never do.. ive talk shit to owners and managers and never got fired for it

    4. reedal

      reedal

      I don't kiss ass either. I'm there to work and my work ethic, knowledge, and capabilities should be the only judgement factors. I work hard to stand out, get better evals, which will help me on the advancement exams. I just thought it was bullshit that what I did was praised and even had the entire chain of command up to the CO asking me about my progress and I didn't get anything but a good job from my LPO for doing something that isn't even in my field. End rant. Ugh.

  16. That little error message up at the top keeps happening. It appears, the page refreshes, and sometimes a few minutes go by before it does it again, sometimes a few days, sometimes a couple seconds. Only on this site, no other sites that I browse frequently. iPhone 6+ iOS 8.4 (12H143) Happens mostly on WiFi but sometimes on LTE. Anyone else have this issue?
  17. You will need a longer bolt than the one that came with the battery if you're going to put those terminals on there. I want to say I bought M8 or M9. You can get them from any hardware store.
  18. Decided to wrap the door pods after the wife left for school. I used the 4-D Carbon fiber adhesive backed vinyl I had previously bought for the previous set of door pods. I grabbed my heat gun, pulled off the backing of the vinyl, and went to work. You can see that damn cigarette burn in my seat from yesterday > so pissed!! The seats/carpet and rest of the interior were in damn near perfect condition other than needing a good vacuuming. I'm satisfied. Much easier to stretch over the edges and corners when that heat gun is aimed at it, but I need a third hand to make it easier.
  19. So on my way home today, some fucking asshole on the interstate decided to flick their fucking cigarette into my passenger window and I didn't realize it. I got home and now there's a fucking hole/burn in my passenger seat. But anyways, onto better news. The Tahoe is officially debadged! Minus the emblem on the grill of course. Side panels on the doors (is there a specific name for them?) Passenger side off All tape and adhesive removed Pulled off the name tags. Three "hoes" and a Chevy later Next appearance item should be the roof racks. Not really sure what to do with them when I take them off though. I guess take them to the local landfill. Anyone need some 03 Tahoe roof racks and two third row seats?
  20. I thought I would share the process of me debadging/destriping the body of the Tahoe. Wheel-well trim Wheel-well trim removed, I used a card to peel that adhesive off Found this little guy chillin while I was doing the front passenger side Bye-bye Then I started on the stripes just below the windows Two drill batteries dead by the time I got this far on the first side All "erased" Took it to the car wash after to wash all of the eraser dust off and it needed a wash anyways. Tomorrow I plan on starting the black with chrome trim on the doors. After that will be the Chevrolet and Tahoe badges on the fenders and hatch. At some point I'll take off the roof racks
  21. Bully: Scholarship Edition for $3.74 on the 360 and LA Noir for $7? Don't mind if I do.

      Bully is a killer game. starting a playthrough again here soon

  22. I think it's about to be time to buy a damn corded drill. Got the wheel-well trim adhesive off and halfway up the drivers side stripes on two batteries. Hard wired 115 ain't gonna run out of juice any time soon...

    1. boom50cal

      boom50cal

      the cheapo porter cable corded drills are pretty nice for the price.. half of that of a dewalt.

    2. reedal

      reedal

      Yeah, I like porter cable. There's a few brands I enjoy SO much more than black & decker. But you dont turn away gifts.... I plan to do some browsing this week to help with my choice.
