  1. 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.

  3. I have the same problem. I get this error message: Sorry, there is a problem The page you requested does not exist Error code: 1S160/2 are we still in the updating process, or is it a legit issue?
  4. it's a little harder to see on the orange crush theme than night shift (<- what I use).
  5. ahh, I see now. same here. My bad, I misunderstood you. Weird how it's not there on the main page but it still works on the "unread content" page.
  6. underneath of the sponsor's links, to the right of the screen, there's options for "Unread Content" and "Mark Site Read"
  7. Yep. I'm using mobile now out in town. I can see everything that the computers on the ship don't let me see. Internet explorer blows...
  8. There's dots and stars? I just move my mouse around until it changes from an arrow to a hand and says show newest post. Ship computers suck
  9. you have to click reply. Or at least, that's the only way I've been able to view the rest of the status...
  10. Palma de Mallorca, Spain :) Really beautiful city.

  11. Update for the XS caps if anyone is interested. I asked about their pricing, release date, and where to buy for their preassembled banks, and the pricing on the individual cells and balancing circuits they offer, and here is their response (on christmas at that, which surprised the hell out of me.) Merry Christmas! The SB500 series pricing starts at $399.99 for the user assembled cap bank. The fully assembled bank is $429.99, and the sealed group size models are $449.99ea. The sealed models include our proprietary balancing circuit which can be purchased separately for $19.99ea. Individual cell pricing is $55ea for the 2.7V cells, and $65ea for the 2.85V cells. We hope to have existing orders ready to ship next week, and stock building up next month so all of our account customers can begin stocking them for resell. Currently, all orders have to be placed directly with us until we officially start shipping. Best Regards, Customer Service Team
  12. Had my first Monte Christo sandwich in Bahrain. So damn good. Gotta find a place back home that makes them

      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 :)

  13. Ok, get a D2 so you can run the amp at 1ohm.
  14. "Lean to the left, like the gas gauge on empty"

  15. you should DD-1 everything. HU, 3sixty, amps, etc. if it has volume, gain, or adjusts the signal in any way, it should be DD-1'ed
  16. no, two dual 1ohm voice coils = .25ohm parallel/parallel, 1ohm series/parallel, or 4 ohm series/series
  17. .66 is parallel coils and subs. a full parallel circuit, not series parallel. You add the reciprocal of each voice coil (1 divided by 4) and then get the reciprocal of the sum. so: y equals the voice coil resistance, and x is the sum. you have y, so you need to solve for x, and then find the reciprocal of the sum 1/ [x = (1/y + 1/y + 1/y+ 1/y + 1/y+ 1/y)] is equal to 1/ [x = (1.5)] so the reciprocal (1/x) of 1.5 is .66. That's how you find parallel resistance of a circuit. now the short easy way for subwoofers since it is assumed that all voice coils of a subwoofer are equal: you have 3 subwoofers with two coils each, that are four ohm. SO, 2x3=6 coils. 4ohms divided by 6 coils equals .66ohm
  18. but I already bought so much on the 20% off sale..... my checking account hurts
  19. take measurements of the space that you want your enclosure and amps to go in. build it all yourself, and enjoy it more than you will if you buy prefab enclosures. The measurement of your available enclosure space will help forum members figure out what you can fit in the space you have for the goals that you want. if that ported enclosure that kept blowing subs because you played too low, then its because it was tuned too high for the music you listened too. being ported doesn't mean it can't play low, and outperform a sealed enclosure, why would you "need at least a 100 watts going to each mid/high"? from your post, you're only looking at a 2kW sub stage at best, which you definitely don't need 100w per a mid and high for.
  20. Update for my equipment. I now have an IM-SG and AMM-1 as well.
  21. Oriole's for me, but congrats to the Cubs for that victory. Was a great series overall.
  22. what capacitor? it's most likely done for. you've released the factory installed smoke, and no one can put that back in
  23. If you have the DD-1+, then you can use it to set your overlap to -7.5dB, which I would recommend to be safer than -10dB, given the amount of difference between your amp and subwoofer RMS, especially if you are unfamiliar with your system limits. But if you do -10dB, listen for any abnormal sounds and smells, because that means you're pushing the limits of your sub and further listening at that level can damage it.
