  1. Seeing as how this model is modeled after the old Beetle, I don't see how its the same concept.
  2. If it were being given away, I'd take the Veyron...and then sell it. If I were buying/had to keep it, there are a LOT of cars I'd take over the Veyron. Z06/ZR1, GTR, 911 GT3. They wouldn't be as fast, but I wouldn't feel like a dumb ass when I drive it.
  3. Sorry guy. You can't pick up BF or Halo and be "good". You can avoid being killed six times in a row, but be "good"? Hell no. Even with the hundreds of hours I've dumped into Halo every time I take a break, I get owned for the first hour or so.
  4. This. And considering this is about the only site I've visited (On this computer) in the past couple weeks and MSSE picked up something last night...I think its on point.
  5. Yup. It will also take your warranty and a much better electrical system to do so.
  6. Never got to actually watch the movie (I know its on netflix) but I'm kinda in love with your avatar.
  7. Damn. Pay 60 dollars for the exact same game that came out 3 years ago.. BUT oh no. this one has 3 new weapons!!!! and a couple of killstreaks! I dont even know why you would come in here and even say that. kind of a dick move to be honest THIS. BF3 and GoW3. Amazon's release day delivery FTW. I'm not leaving my house at 11:00 to buy the game, and even if I did, as soon as I got back home, I'd be going to sleep anyway. Then I have work/school all day. However, all night Tuesday is shot.
  8. x2 While in theory running them next to each other causes noise, in practice (as long as you have decent rcas) you won't have a problem. The couple times I've done it tells me it isn't a huge deal. Or if there is noise, its so minimal that it doesn't even matter. Try and run them separate from each other. Better to be safe than sorry. But if for whatever reason running them separately isn't possible, put them together. Maybe not put all the trim panels back in case you do have noise, but I SERIOUSLY doubt you will.
  9. Not everyone is chasing that last 1/10 of a second. I would personally like to drive a car that's reasonably loud and can still get out of its own way.
  10. Why would you do that when you'd still have to gain match? Worst case scenario if all you're looking for is a single bass knob, get a PAC LC1. Much cheaper than buying a line driver.
  11. One ohm final load? I wouldn't do it. When strapped those amplifiers are 2 ohm stable.
  12. I can second this. Ray's a good dude to by from. Now that he no longer has my DD1 (and can't put his nutz on it)... Ray, I <3 you.
  13. Just like there are mixed emotions on crimping connections, which is why I stated both. I've seen what a good crimp looks like. Personally, I'm eventually going to invest in a hydraulic crimper. Need to do the research it takes to find what I need to look for, but meh. EDIT:As not to derail the thread, I'll edit this post and add the link here.
  14. I'm not in a position to watch the video...so I'll ask here. What are you using as a charger for the batteries? Just a trickle charger or something higher output?
  15. OFC is oxygen free copper. Having air pockets in wire generates heat. Heat = wasted energy. It would also lower the wire's current carrying capacity. This is also related to the reason its widely suggested you either use hydraulic crimpers or solder your connection. CCA is copper clad aluminium. Aluminium isn't as effective a conductor as copper. But aluminium is cheaper and lighter, so people use it. The strand count means you have a bunch of fine wires instead of a few thick ones. Makes the wire more flexible.
  16. I understand that but, why does the military allow 17yr olds to fire weapons and go to war. Some people develop faster than others. The military isn't just physical conditioning, its psychological as well. I think people really miss that point. I know going through infantry boot/AIT is a bit different than others, but in all basic training you're conditioned mentally and psychically. I would even go as far as to say basic training was close to 50% psychological training. Mental toughness is a key factor to surviving overseas. On the flip side though, there's plenty of military people that fuck up with drinking and with fire arms. I find it kind of stupid to trust someone withe a rifle but not a handgun. At 18 you can go buy a AK but not a 9mm. Plus most 21yr olds I know I still probably wouldn't trust a weapon to. I think 23-25 is when being an adult really sits in, at least from my personal experience. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. Because it isn't about maturity. At 18 your body is still developing physically. Parts of your brain are not where they should be, and drinking stunts their growth. IIRC its the part of your brain that deals with long-term decision making. Which is also why car insurance drops at 25. You are less prone to do stupid shit without thinking about the consequences. Most people I come in contact with will admit I'm mature for my age, and always have been. But even I catch myself thinking back and realizing I did something ridiculously stupid.
  17. Wrap a piece of wire around the barrel of the RCAs on the deck and ground it to the chassis. EDIT:The chassis of the deck.
  18. Maybe its just because the only sealed boxes I've heard were either for 8s or were prefabs, but I have yet to hear a sealed box that "kills" lows. After ~32-35 it just gets muddy.
