  1. PcLinuxOS 2009.1 or Ubuntu/Kubuntu are great for people new to linux. Both have good forums to get support from, as well as irc channels. Those look like they'll work, but I can't be sure. I'm all SATA here.
  2. Honestly... This read pretty much exactly like one of the scams I get in Email. Not saying that's what you're doing, I just read it that way (after reading my e-mails for the day) I would help, but, I can't at this time.
  3. I got them at at nice price. Was like $5 for 100 with free shipping/handling. Couldn't complain with that. Why 20.. hehe. Well, the dome light is actually something I picked up from home depot. Its supposed to be for the house. The adapter for it even stated 120v AC. I decided to try it one day on 12v and it worked great. doesn't look the best since I haven't done the fiberglass headliner project yet. I want it to be daylight in the van. The white ones will eventually be wired to my accessory output wire on the alarm and a led strobe controller. So they'll strobe when the alarm is set off. I might start working on an underbody kit, but will need 10 times more leds than I have right now to make it look decent. Guess I need to start visiting Oznium again.
  4. I just received an order, from China, of 100 blue LEDs with the required resistors. they are rated at an MCD: 7000 TYPICAL/10000MAX. Last time I got 50 of them, they were pretty damned bright. Lit up my dash pretty nice. Now, what should I do with 100 of them? Any ideas for an Astro? I've already got 20 white ones for my dome light. Not sure how the dash lights would look with blue, since some of the lettering on in the instrument cluster is blue or black. Don't really need to add any more for my alarm indicator as my outside door mirrors take care of that. Hmmmm.. Maybe I can light up some tarantulas (Soundstream logo) in each back window. That may look alright, but I was thinking about doing thst with red LEDs and wiring them to my brake lights. I just don't know. What do you all think?
  5. unfortunately yes. I have been having this problem pretty much all my life. Seems like it's getting worse lately. I'm scared I'm going to hurt my 1yr old or my wife during one of these blackouts. The other day my 1yr old was playing with the keyboard tray. Just sliding it in and out, nothing too bad, except that I was sittin g there getting hit by the tray. I picked him up, moved him out of the way,and proceeded to tear the desk apart. In the process knocking him down with parts of it. I did not realize I did any of that until my wife told me about it. She was ready to leave with my son and I can't blame her. I pretty much cried all night. The past week Ive been blacking out a lot. Nothing bad has been said about anything Ive done while blacked out. Supposedly I'm fully aware, just not able to acknowledge anything around me.. people or things. I am in counseling about it, which I hope works.
  6. 808 just came out in March. It may be a while for the next one
  7. I'm running build 7127 on an Aspire One netbook without any problems at all. Gonna upgrade to a newer release soon though. And it doesn't start to shut down until March 2010, IIRC. Might be June though
  8. wow.. Shoulda asked him if he sat in the vehicle when it was done (for both str8 and tkitt) We recently had a guy at work say he did a 180db with 1 12" sub. However, he would not let us see what he had, and chickened out when I told him to go against my van in audience participation event.
  9. nothing against ubuntu as I have tried it...... but bleh! IF I go back to Linux, it'll be PcLinuxOS as usual. Reason I say if is due to me running windows 7 right now without any problems at all.
  10. passenger door lock sliding door lock rear view mirror one part of my voltage meter (digital) is gone bolts backed out of the glove box. They are the ones that hold the bottom of the headunit in primer chips off every time I turn the system up (probably my painting skills though) can't keep air in the air shocks. Too much weight back there. But the van keeps on going
  11. I will stick by my 4/0 welding cable. And coppercableman can even put you name on it every foot, if you want.
  12. Here it is.. A not so good video of the van playing it. Enjoy been a long time since Ive done a vid of the van.
  13. Anything is possible. You could move the box a little bit and gain 1 to 3 dB. experiment
  14. Fixing to try it out again. May have a vid this time, if family can stand it. will let ya know
  15. The Family and I might be there with the van. Not sure though as I've been thinking about garaging it for a while. We'll see
  16. I don't have a vid, but, like it a lot. A little painful getting hit in the back of the head with the bass. Now for the criticism... Although it sounds good, especially on the bass, the mids and highs were almost non existant. Sounds like the actual music was recorded at a lower volume. Bring it up a little to match the bass better and it'll sound much better. Could also be my systen though. Hope to hear more in the future.
  17. will try it in the van as soon as I can. Will let you know what I think of it.
  18. I would have done it a little different. Would have used more runs of cat 5 and put 4 wires per + and 4 per -. This would make the wires a little stronger, but, would cause you to have 2 runs of cable instead of one. Looks good though.
  19. I really really need to invest in MLA. I also have a voltage problem. Pretty much the same as OT posted. I'll start out in the mornings at 14.8volts. By the time I get to work I'm down do 14.1. that's with the system at a moderate level, headlights on. If I bump up the volume, it drops down to 13.2. I hate having voltage that low.
  20. go for it. I run 8gauge on my subs. Losta fun trying to wire quad voice coil subs with big wire.
  21. 136 to 138 with seats down 133 to 135 with seats up But way too many variables to be able to guess exact number
