    HP Touchpads

    Anyone looking for a stupid cheap tablet with which they can do a build? 16GB $99 32GB $149 http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3220862#edit41815736 Just be aware, you likely won't get any kind of support going forward. But if all you're looking for is something that can hold music... I'm halfway tempted to get one just so I can.
  2. on the AQ gain knob.. OrionStang has a thread on this. I didn't really follow it though. I've experienced the same thing. I think the clip light is just premature. When I set my gains, I know the tone was clean, but the DD1 said I had no clipping, while the clip light said EVERYTHING was clipped.
  3. Might want to look into the AudioControl LC-6i. I haven't personally used it, but it was suggested to me when I was considering going the integration route instead of getting a head unit. I was just sick of ONLY being able to use music CDs so I went the HU route.
  4. [noob] I don't know man. Compared to the Yellow Top, the capacity is lower, but isn't the discharge rate higher? I would think 90% of the time you're listening to your system, if the engine is on, you aren't running tremendous amounts of power, and your electrical system is anywhere near how it should be, you wouldn't need all the "extra" reserve capacity. You would need something that would supply power for almost instantaneous spikes in power draw. [/noob]
  5. Knowing hi-lo converters have a tendency to be a bit dirty, I think it would stand to reason that's your problem.
  6. Actually, your battery IS ground. But the answer to your question is yes.
  7. I personally think that's a fairly crappy excuse, and I genuinely hope that's not the reason he decided to leave here. By the same token, he isn't the only one here that happens with. How many threads have you seen someone ask about Damp. Pro and then haul off and buy AudioTechnix/FatMat/Peel and Seal (lol)? Or ask about Ascendant Audio, only to end up buying DC? That's just the nature of forums, the internet, and shopping in general.
  8. Maybe its just because everyone in my house is hella allergic to mold, so I tend to avoid fucking with it unless I have to, but I'd just scrap it and buy a $30 sheet of MDF. I understand wanting to save a buck or two, but seriously, $30 now or many, many times that in potential medical bills? And to be honest, I really doubt even resining the sheet would replace enough of the glue that washed away for it to be solid enough to really use for box building. It now looks as if it would be 1 inch low density fiberboard. I'm no expert when it comes to wood though, so take that with a grain of salt. tl;dr just buy new wood.
  9. Have you seen Chicken's hoopty or Meade's Tahoe? Both have 8s in the doors and 18s out back.
  10. I think that's the volume of air the cone moves. I could be (and likely am) wrong. EDIT: Reading around a bit, it seems as if vas is the amount of air equal to the amount of force needed to move the spider? Is that a correct understanding? My 12 inch level 4 only displaces .18 cubic feet.
  11. If you have to ask, you would probably be better served by its big brother.
  12. Tony C? If this does mean they've gone under, I'm a little disappointed. I've been wanting to see what their new line had in store. Though the Twitter account is still going, so IDK.
  13. I bought a CDA-9886 from him. This thing was packaged better than items I've bought off of actual retailers. There is no doubt in my mind that FedEx could have dropped this thing, kicked it around a bit, and it still would have arrived in perfect condition. Shipping was hella fast. I sent the money through PayPal, and not an hour later, he sent me the tracking number. He is a hella agreeable guy. In the interest of full disclosure, there was a slight problem with the radio. I'll admit, its 100% plausible that it was a complete accident; I can see how someone would overlook testing a part of the radio that never got used. To be honest, I almost didn't check it myself. Instead of doing like a select few sellers I've seen on here, and giving me the run around, pointing fingers, and generally being difficult to deal with, he reimbursed me some of the cost of the radio. I would DEFINITELY do business with this guy again.
  14. oh wow... for once i agree with this guy^ who knew that day would come? Second time I've seen someone post that. I just can't wait until I get mine in.
  15. At night, next to cars with children, and in residential areas are the only times I refuse to go full tilt.
  16. The remote for my M1a (which is the same remote) doesn't work when you go past half way. Its like 12 o'clock is 100%. I just live with it, especially since the last half of the dial is a whole 'nother twist (two sets of turns to go from nothing to full blast). Try calling/emailing AQ and seeing if they will let you replace it.

    SUNDOWN SA-10

    to a sa 10!!?? Yes, to an SA10. However, if I were you, I'd stick with something closer to RMS. I'd find something in the 500-800 wrms range. Could it take more? Hell yeah. But over powering a subwoofer on that level will (IMO) take a bit more experience than I believe you have.
  18. Not necessarily. That stronger motor could be pushing a heavier cone, or it could (and probably does) have a stiffer suspension (spider(s)). Probably shouldn't need to worry about it too much imo. If you want to try something new get the obsidians and give us a review, or get a stand by like some lvl 3's, or sa. You can't really go wrong with any of them. This. AT the same time however, that heavier magnet may not even be as strong as a lighter one. Two things come to mind. Supercharged motors (I know DD has them I think DC does as well) and Neodymium magnets. And if a motor can be "supercharged" then I also would think one can be "undercharged". And pound for pound, generally speaking, neodymium magnets will be stronger than ferrite.
  19. Are you sure you don't have a coil wired out of phase? Do you have another amplifier you can try this on?

    bas remote

    I can't tell you with absolute certainty that it will cut them both using the factory remote. Try it and find out. I can tell you that using the LC1 it will.
