06RTCharger

Lol foreal tho this aint "overpaid" because these were the cheapest ones i could find, of THESE exact rcas anyway. I still need to buy 2 more of these but Sonic only had two left.  If i was to buy them at my local shop it wouldve been $249.95 PER SET. They were $159.99 per on Sonic. Shipping was rediculous for these too but still cheaper than buying it localy. BUT i will say its probably overkill, and i wouldnt be able to "hear a difference". Fuck it tho, i wanted it. Everything else about my setup is overkill already so i might as well lol. 

Fuck it, it's your money, lol

Yip....

Havent finished the goal yet of laying all the second skin on the floor and running the wires. I dont wanna update it till im done with laying all my secondskin on the floors/roof. Almost there tho, i just been kinna caught up with tryna get another ride so i can leave my charger at home and just work on it without having to worry about having to drive it to work the next day. Having only a daily driver wasnt cutting it. Been shopping around the past few days and tonight i got me a big brother for the charger today. So stoked.

Its a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4 Express, has the 5.7 hemi like my charger. Its only got 15k miles on it. Already thinking of a system for it???smh. Ill try to finish the charger first tho.

Congrats on the new purchase brahda! Lookn forward to checkn the updated build

Heads oughta roll for that shit. Thats a horrible horrible mistake. 

I heard on the radio this morning the person who caused the error has been reassigned. Not fired, reassigned. 

Because they wont release info on who exactly it was, all the employees there are getting death threats. 

Also Japan just did the same thing, had a false nuclear missile alert text sent out. BUT they corrected it within a few mins, its took the alert system here 38 mins to release the “its a false alert” message.

Honestly i dont know, i just read the details about that temco one and it seemed high quality and electrician grade (if thats even a thing). They sell a cheaper one too thats like $70 i think and a couple other cheaper ones. I wasnt really asking about the tool its self, just more about the companys track record. Just because i wasnt getting and responses from them, but i was able to talk to a rep already and sorted it out. 

Whatever makes that crimper cost more than their own other crimpers, is why i want it i guess. I had another post asking about why some hydraulic crimpers are $30 and some are well over $1k even some $3k. Theres got to be more to it than just name brand, because even under the same name there are big differences in price. Its overkill, but thats fine with me, for $370 i dont mind. It seems to be worth alot more. You can look up TEMco TH0034

I checked em out. 12 ton crimper. It may be an ergonomic thing. Or made in one country versus another. But in the end, both products still compact wire and lugs until they are basically one solid material. Theres a pic in my build log where i re-crimp an old hammer-crimped lug. Crazy difference after a proper hydraulic crimp. I'll post another one where i cut the lug in half to show the copper inside. You cant even see individual wires, its like a solid block of copper afterward.

All good though bro. However you like to spend your mula. Just trying to add reassurance to the fact that many of us have used the $55 version with undeniably great results. Hopefully you get what youre looking for. 

Thanks man, ill go check ur build out for those pics. 

Yah i was checking out that video. Apparently the cheap walmart dmm i got wont be good enough to get accurate readings, testing the probes on ohms it was all over the place and high. So just gonna wait till im off to go get a fluke dmm. I also got a battery charger  so ill be charging the battery the checking for a parasitic draw. Hopefully its that easy to find.

I can tell you right now that dodges of that era had a shit load of wiring problems, ask me how i know......

Mine ended up being a bunch of faulty wiring underneath the dash.

Take it to a GOOD auto electric shop and let them figure it out.

Thats messed up broke lol. Yah ive gotten several "recall" notices over the years and had to take the car in. The best shop i think i have around here is the dealership. I have an appointment with them on Wednesday if i dont figure it out by then.  

Ill probably just get the Knu wire. I wanted the Stinger becuase i know being awg standard it would fit easily. And also for the name. 

Knu is just fine man. It'll fit great, promise. Dont let if stress you too much. And dont expect great customer service from everyone. Because theres plenty of vendors out there that will NOT help. Move along to another vendor with better service that deserves your dollars. 

Yah i ordered a 1foot length of all the sizes of knu karma ss, just to be sure. So i can test fit it and find out ho big i can go on each wire. I know u dont need 12gauge on ur tweeters lol but im the type that would do it just because lol. I know 14 standard awg fits my tweets and the 4inch. But i only had 14 awg and 18 awg on hand to test. I should be getting the knu wires today or tomarrow. It was only like 7-8$ including shipping. 

Stinger emailed again and said pretty much that sonic is a dealer. They still seemed reluctant to admit tho lol, their exact words were "they are.....". That was after i said "oh ok so sonic is an authoirzed dealer?". Becuase they told me they were forwarding my warranty question to sonic because warranties are handeled at the place of purchase. Had to go a little tricky route to get the answer, but i think i got it.

Thanks man, yah i did order some earlier off amazon, i got prime so standard shipping was free. Wouldve cost an extra $20 to have it here by wednesday. But im only off today and tomarrow so doesnt matter as long as its here before my next day off next week. But i went and got a new router from lowes anyway so i can work on it tomarrow. I might just keep the router so i can have one i leave in my table and one i can keep as a plunge router for free handing. Tempted to just swap parts tho and return it lol.

Fuck. Your just beginning the process and pissed off already.... you have a LONG way to go dude. Shit happens ALL through out it man. Smoke a bowl, grab a beer or whatever an relax,.. move forward. You never lose. You either win, or learn. Just keep on. 

i ended up buying a new router from lowes, swapped collets and worked on some shit yesturday. 

fixed i think! i don't know what i did but mannnn i can make a mess quick.  

Yeah it's back to norm now. Thank you sir!

Lol awesome, Thanks Steve. I'm glad that wasn't a new layout, lol.

Skulls so AB amps were being made before D? Yah maybe thats why its not specified. Id assume any lp amp was AB but i didnt see it specify a class anywhere so had me thinking.

I have never used any LP amps.

Someone on here really likes them. Cableguy was his name. 

I'm about to start my first build with higher end equipment. Wish me luck, going for more of a true sq build. (Morel and mosconi zero line amps for my sound stage.)

Yah i seen ur build log post. I was considering the zero 1, its pretty close to what i want but id need two of them to be happy about it. But 6gz for two amps aint happening lol not letting myself do that. I have the as100.4 and as200.2 for my 3way front stage. So would be pretty nice to have all mosconi, but nah i cant drop all that on two amps just for 2subs.

Yeah check battery first. Next would probably be a starter solenoid. I only work on older vehicles so I'm not even sure if newer ones have the solenoid.

DMM

Alright ill pick up a digital multi meter. Would the dmm be able to tell if my alternator is putting out sufficient power to charge the battery? My coworker brought up a good point to check the alternator. I dont beleive the battery should've died. I think maybe becuase i dont drive alot (works less than a mile away, maybe even a mile round trip) that my battery weakens a lil from not being driven for long periods of time to keep it charged. The car is running for maybe an hour- hour half total per week on average. 

Sorry for your loss, man.

If you live life worried about the what ifs you're gonna have a boring life, just my 2 cents.

You could die of a fall while walking out your front door, doesn't you ever will.

Just like anything else in life its a calculated risk.

Situational awareness is key, along with being seen by drivers so they know who, and what you are, i will ride with my high beams on so a person does not mistake me for a car that is farther away than i really am. That one change has completely stopped the "OMG i didn't see you" quotes people use, cause they are used to looking for cars and not motorcycles. Listen, i may piss some people off with the use of high beams, and my life is more important than your discomfort for a few seconds, and i see other bikers doing the same thing as me and have no anger towards them as i fully understand what it means to ride as safe as we can.

Up load them to facebook photobuckt something.. Now that you can drag and drop it makes it so much easier. 

Check with one of the mods about your membership, bud.  Shouldnt take over a week.

I dont use facebook. I already paid for the membership so that will make it alot easier, not having to upload to some other app then load it here. I post from a phone, i dont use a computer.

I messaged admin kyle and also steve. I think their inbox is probably so full im not sure how long before they actually see my message. I dont wanna message every statf member and irratate everyone lol. Ill just be patient.

I aint a small slim dude lol getting into those side fender gaps was kinna difficult. Just aint used to this kinna work i guess. 

Yah im gonna try to put together a build log right now, gonna try to lay it out right.

Contortionist? Man i felt like I had to be a body builder when I did my roof

Aww shit, thats gonna suck too. Keeping arms above shoulder height for extended periods is weakness of mine. 

From what i could gather with a quick google. Bitcoin mining was just legalized or something in russia. Like couple days ago. So im guessing once that news broke, EVERYBODY that heard it started scooping up all the RMC they could, it was a very limited amount of RMC availble i think, so that made it even more wanted. 

That company RMC is going to be building a huge mining facility and anyone with those coins will get a percent of what they mine. Something like that, thats what i read. Shits insane tho, wish i wouldve been in on the news. 

It will probably dump hard leaving people jumping on the bandwagon late with huge losses. I have seen groups out there that specifically pump up crypto coins to dump on the people that jump into it trying to make a profit. 

Yup, if u watch the graphs u can see it lol. 

It's up now.

I like the new layout 

i like the new look much better also

works good here too.

Its Working now lol...maybe it was my phone:/ technical difficulties always find me.

Same here, it seems like if its not 1 thing its another thing always throwing shade in my way and pushing me off the easy path in life..

Was a good game,lol. 

Did it make up for what you lost on bitcoin?

I havent lost yet in bitcoin lol, its still going. But damn its droppin in value like crazy. 

Imma be an optimist and say "atleast all the dust is getting washed off..."

Heres some of what i was doing when it down poured on me.

Took these in the car and fished it into the dash bezel area.

Then i didnt  like how those metal connectors/housings would *clink clink clink clink* around, so i added some stuff to stop the clinking.

The larger side of this grommet goes into the engine compartment side of the hole right? So its not sticking into the interior so much, even tho the 4/0 will still be a big protrusion but atleast it can bend a lil unlike the grommet.

Whichever side has an o ring is the side thats toward the engine bay. I think the nut side. Do both sides have an o ring?

The oring is removeable like a washer. I ended up doing it the way i mentioned, bulge on the exterior, nut on the interior

thanks a lot! Glad you like it! we will have more skins to choose from too so don't sweat the colors yet! we are still under construction

Yah i noticed the "theme" button on the bottom lol, looks good as is, but thats super cool. Congrats on the 10years, have fun and safe newyears man! 

I have been really tempted to buy some. Thought about throwing $200-$300 in and seeing how it went. I keep kicking myself when i wait a week or two and see how much i could have made already. Just hard to jump in and know what to do. Dont wanna screw up and lose some money some how. 

I know exactly what u mean. What scares me is the security of ur “wallet”. I dont know what wallet is the most protected and reliable. Ontop of that the Hawaii laws and shit. But right now BTC is about to hit 11k i wish i had some money to throw down on it. I threw everything i had into this USI-Tech

I know what you mean. I'm on at work all the time too. He'll I might not like my job of it wasn't for SMD.

Lol yup its helps to take ur mind off things. 

Heres a lil peep 

Some Bstock snuck into my damp pro 80sqft case smh. Could see through to the silver foil when i peeled the waxpaper off. So far it was only on two sheet that i noticed. I can deal with a few mishaps, but if theres a bunch more ill ask them about it. 

this is everything ive got so far, besides the mechman alt, second skin and 4/0 knu

Spend it on a rig to mine instead of buying it.
