  1. Anyone used this set before and able to give a review? Or link me to a good set to buy from Home Depot? http://m.homedepot.com/p/PRO-SERIES-9-25-in-Steel-Router-Bit-Set-in-Wood-Box-40-Piece-801002/205941541/

      Next bits I buy are going to be from 12v tools.....have heard nothing but good reviews.

  2. Tony C. has me scared with his turn-on relay kit. Two amps (mono & 4-chan) on a single HU remote out (300mA) should be fine right? Using 12ga cca on a 10ft max run? The Tony's make me overthink shit.

      I never priced everything separately. But to me once you consider time spent making all the connections, double checking that everything is done correctly, hunting down/driving/ordering different stuff online vs. the fact that Tony gives us a 10% discount and you can spend your time on other parts of your build, and just plug and play when it shows up, it's a great deal.

      magillaru

      Yeah and considering I'm not too familiar with how to even go about wiring it up, I don't really have the time to try to figure it out now.

  3. First time using body filler ever.... It didn't last five minutes before turning into a patty.

  4. Replaced tensioner pulley to find out the A/C compressor fucked up the pulley. Now I need to replace the compressor... Not high on my to do list.

      I can fit two and still have A/C, maybe three. Everything for the A/C is on the opposite side of the engine bay from the alt location. I'm already planning on getting the dual bracket and keep the stock alt with my singer. I don't drop much on music as is with just the stock alt, D3400 under the hood and a D4700 in the back. Lowest I've gotten is 13.3. But I'm only wired for 2600 @ 2ohms/14.4v, so it's not like I'm pulling crazy amperage like most with SUVs.

      Nice. My car can't fit two alts

      I know my TB can fit two, I don't see how but it can with a bracket. I haven't seen a dual alt set up in a le sabre

  5. I really enjoy fiber optics class. Polishing those connectors is tricky to get down though. In other news, soundqubed sent my AQ 90x4 to their "secondary tech", so been without music for a month now, who knows when it'll be back. Es no bueno. I need music to and from work.

      so then get ready to do it. You know how many times I had to do fiber runs? Too fuckig many.

    3. reedal

      reedal

      Yeah I bet. Someone's always gotta break shit when you don't want it broke. When was the last time you used that 90x4 before I bought it? Besides a power on test?

      I traded my car in March of 2014 so that was when I pulled it out. I dont remember when you bought it now. its been awhile. Whats up with it. You had to send it in?

  6. Without a doubt, it's imposisible for me to do any kind of work on a vehicle without finding a way to cut some part of my body. It's the little ones that feel the worst.

      The ones you don't know for sure, cause I use hand sanitizer often at work, and I'll all of a sudden start feeling burns and can't even see any cuts anywhere, never even bled.

  7. 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".

  8. 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..

  9. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. Today is going to be a great day. Graduate my first C school in about two hours, then I get to get on a plane, fly five hours to Georgia (hopefully sleeping on the way), two hours to Virginia (squeeze another catnap in), picked up by my fiancé, and head home for a few hours before I have to report to my ship tomorrow morning. I love this San Diego weather, but there's no place better than home.

      Thanks man, it's all good. I'm sure I'll find someone on the east coast to throw me a couple demos. Maybe get to a couple comps in or around virginia

  14. People that run active with supertweets, do you just leave that capacitor on there and say "thats where my mid/high crossover point will be"? or do you unsolder/take it off? never knew those were on there until i saw it in someones thread.

  16. 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"

  17. 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

  18. Two subwoofers of the same brand/model/size, one is in too small of a ported box tuned to 40hz, one is in the correct size ported box tuned to 35hz. T/S parameters change as you break subs in. Those two subs are broken in in different enclosures, so the T/S parameters will be different?

      The Dayton dats is only $100.

      The Im-sg can do it as well and there would be a few other benefits to owning one of those.

      I'll have to look into the sonicrafter. Thanks Aculous, I'm making it work with 10-15 minute charge times and the sanding wheel attachment. It's messy, but it's getting the job done.

      Shit I didn't even think about throwing it on my drill. That ain't a half bad idea. I'll grab some more cutting wheels tomorrow on my way home from work though. Not sure if I'll finish up cutting the excess fiberglass off tonight. The wife is home and I was on duty yesterday so I gotta spend some time with her before I catch some sleep

      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.

  22. Worst thing about battery powered power tools, the damn batteries don't last for shit. But they're definitely handy when you aren't near a power outlet. Might have these new pods done tomorrow, depending on batteries...

      Both the matrix and the dremel were gifts, I knew the black and decker wasn't going to be worth much for battery life as I've never had good experience with them. I thought the dremel would be better though. Porter Cable NiCads have great life. If/when I buy my next power tool, it'll definitely be either dewalt or porter cable. I've always liked my uncles dewalt's. But I do like the matrix because every tool needed for small woodwork (mdf rings in particular :)) is an atta...
