  1. For me, the coolness of this car is right up there with the Veyron. Just f***ing sick.

    EDIT: In fact, I'd probably take one of these over the Veyron...the money savings goes without saying, but I also like screamers ;)

    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.

  2. Going to the midnight release! I think people don't like gears because it actually takes skills to be good at it. Anyone can pick up COD,BF or halo and be good but gears takes skill.

    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.

  3. :No:

    MW3

    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.

  4. I have rca's wire-tied to 0awg from front to back with absolutely zero noise :shrug:

    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.

  5. I hear mixed emotions on soldering connections

    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.

  6. what is the strand count? does it mean that there are that many strands in the wire or what.

    because the jacket on my 4 gauge power wire says 2058 strands ofc.

    yes i already know that the ofc is like the official wire size or something

    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.

  7. There are more reasons than just age which have influenced the factors that they set as far who can and cannot purchase firearms and alcohol.....Part of it is age yes but the other reasons are due to scientific research that shows ages of mental and psychological maturity so that plays a role

    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.

  8. Unless you can tune real low ported, the sealed box will kill the lows. It just won't peak.

    I love the sound of sealed with the cross over set right.

    You should try sealed with a ton of power. You won't be disappointed.

    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.
