  5. 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.

  6. Hacksaw Ridge is a damn good movie

  7. 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?

      odd... cats like cat piss? lol .. wonder what the story is behind it

      reedal

      Oh no, not like cat piss. Haha that would be even worse. Just the scent of a cat

  8. Palma de Mallorca, Spain :) Really beautiful city.

  9. "Lean to the left, like the gas gauge on empty"

  10. 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.

      you get an alignment every oil change? o_o

      Yes. Personal preference.

  11. 6 hours on watch with a ballistic vest on, sunny 90 degrees, sweating my ass off. I get relieved, clouds come out, and it starts raining. Fml.

      feel your pain. i worked an airshow today at my base and people kept telling me "enjoy your weekend".

  12. a pair of 4 ohm speakers reading 3.3 ohms each... should be fine right?

      sounds fine to me

      Remember, even 4ohm speakers don't stay 4ohm once they get music to them

    4. ChevyBoy95

      ChevyBoy95

      4 ohm is just a placeholder for DC since there is no conversion from DC resistance to AC impedance.

  13. A/C tensioner is done-ski's. No using the A/C until that's replaced :(

      I'm thinking of the compressor

    3. reedal

      Yeah, fuck a compressor. If that went out I would say fuck it I don't need A/C

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

  15. After years of ordering Chinese takeout all over the country, I'm convinced they only learned a few words in English. "Hello? Phone number? About ten minutes".

      J/K lol I love chinese food but only from certain spots.

  16. andddd i think it's time to call it a day after drawing the first port wall for a second time and not realizing it until after i already cut it. Start with a clear and fresh mind tomorrow, finish my last three cuts needed for the enclosure, and use the leftovers for the amp/batt rack. and hopefully not need to purchase another sheet of birch.

  17. Anddddd my would-have-been great idea is gone. Shortest circuitry discussion in the history of the world....

      No, you are right. There is certainly the possibility of a similar way to manage a form of automatic gain control, but not in the way I was thinking. I'll definitely have to do some more looking into it, just a different direction.

    3. Skullz

      Skullz

      Look at home audio where you have no gain to mess with, i guess car audio could do the same thing, but i really don't know enough about the why to give an opinion on it.

    4. ChevyBoy95

      ChevyBoy95

      I think when there is an audio input, like a TV output (or something that isn't controllable) to a home audio receiver, it emits a consistent level of output (say doesn't exceed a given output voltage, sort of like a maxed unclipped headunit) and the receiver volume is just your gain knob.

  18. Another great transaction with SHCA. It's been almost two months, the things I wanted weren't in stock, and after being kept updated on it all, it's finally falling into place. Always great CS.

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

  20. Anyone besides me still playing the first(best) gears of war on the 360?

  21. 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".

  22. 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.

      Spent a few days there while on R&R while contracting in Saudi. You ain't lying, the heat/humidity is NEXT level.

  23. Been putting off getting a spare key made for the Tahoe.... And today is the day I lock my keys in the car... Locksmith on the way, key will be made afterwards

      what happened to first spare key?

    3. Ahmed Johnson

      Ahmed Johnson

      Do you have automatic locks? Just wedge the door a little and stick a long rod and pop the lock or pull the handle

    4. reedal

      @karkov when I bought it the owner only had one and I just kept saying "next time" whenever I was at Home Depot or Walmart.

      @ahmed I spent an hour doing that, the only "rod" I have being a wire coat hanger, and it just kept bending every time I got it on the unlock switch. So I gave up.

  24. Bit the bullet and bought the 80prs.

    2. reedal

      reedal

      Haha thanks. I'll take pics while I do it, but it may end up being a "don't do it like this" lesson, cause I've never glassed anything before.
