  1. Post pics of your dog(s)

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    I have 2 miniature dachshunds. I bought the first one the end of march 08 and he was born on my birthday which is awesome (january 18th). I had wanted a dog for a few years and once I finally moved into my own place me and my girl went to look at dogs. previous I had thought these dogs were the ugliest things ever, but once I saw this dog, I instantly wanted him. his ears hung down soo far that he would trip over them when he ran. I had always heard the term a dog is a man's bestfriend and never understood it until I brought him home. just the unconditional love and the way he wont sleep anywhere except up against my side is great. here are a few pics (he doesn't sit still long enough to get pics so my girl takes them when hes sleeping)

    now back in november I realized he really needed a friend since I couldn't show him the constant attention he always wanted. I wanted to get a dog similar in size, if not the same breed. I happened to find a local breeder who had one left from a recent litter, and it was the rarest of these dogs, a long hair silver dapple. he is black and silver which is crazy to see on a dog. I had a huge problem when I brought him home though, my other dog seemed okay at first but as soon as the new puppy moved, my older dog grabbed him by the head and tried to what looked like intent to kill him. now this dog just cost me $1800 so I wasn't having that. it took a few weeks to properly let them get to know eachother and now if they are apart for even a few minutes, they start to cry. but now this one is a punk and always tries to beat up my older one but its all in fun. here are a few pictures of the younger one

    sorry for the long story, I've never really had a chance to tell anyone about them in detail and these 2 dogs are the best things that have ever happened to me

    that dapple is an awsome looking dog man.... my first dog is going to be either a long hair dapple or a piebald dashund, or possibly both. dashunds are deffinately one of my favorite dogs :drinks:

  6. Efficiency

    in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!

    Posted

    How efficient are the SAX-100.4's? Right now i have a RF P450.4 for my mids and highs, the birth sheet says its 96x4 @ 4ohms and only like 61% efficient. So the sundown would only be ~15-25 wrms more per channel, but im lookin for efficiency. Also lookin into a SAZ-1500d to replace my T10001bd(1633 rms at 1ohm and ~80% eff.)

    Overall about how much would it really benefit me by switching to sundown amps? I have a 2000 Impala and the biggest alt i can get is a "200" amp. I just got another T1 and the T10001bd is running at 1ohm again and i forgot how much the lights dimm :( , but when idiling the voltage only drops down to 12.9(not on all songs just a couple, most songs it goes down to ~13.3ish) at full tilt. When im driving -any speed- and the bass hits i can "see" and feel the rpms dropping like 1-200rpms-is that normal? i only have 1 optima yellow top under the hood(with the 185 amp alt- <_< ), should i go get another one for the rear and see what that does first? IDK what to do............

    Thanks

    when he was using his planet audio2250's he was burping a 151.8 at 48 hertz, with about 500 watts going to each sub. now he is gonna have a minimum 5000 going to each. o and btw the volume was only on like 10 when he did the burp hehe.

    so those hifonics will be putting out over like 3125RMS each? 5000 each sub x5=25000/8 amps=3125 each? dont know much about any hifonics amps but just seems high to me. shooot if the "do" that power id get rid of my T10001BD n get 2 of them :rolleyes:

    I think everyone should have 1/0 gauge. if i were u id get some 1/0. It cant hurt, the only thing is that it costs a lil more. I just picked up a 40' spool of RF 1/0 from HDA cost a total of less than $115, gonna be doin another run or two when i get some more batteries ;)

  19. Battery Charging At 17v!?!?!?!?!

    I don't think that has anything to do with the alt. I think you have a short somewhere that's killing your batts.

    thats what i was thinking, but its just odd that it does this like erraticly. sometimes its fine for 2-3 days and other times is only a few hours. i removed the battery and put it on the charger, this is when its charging at 17V, which it didnt do before. it said fully charged, and i unhooked the charger and let it sit overnight. so now when i go to my moms today im gonna see if its dead or not. if its dead im just gonna get another batt and go from there, if not then idk. if it pisses me off too much ill just sell the dam thing haha, since i just got a new job(starting monday) ill be able to afford gas to drive the other car. going from 8.10/hr to 15.80/hr :o;)

    thanks

  21. Battery Charging At 17v!?!?!?!?!

    this battery is in my 2nd car with no system in i but i wanted to ask here cuz everyone seems pretty smart about these things. i bought it 2yrs ago, 94 saturn-36mpg FTW, brand new alt and fairly new looking batt. now if it sat for a few days the battery would die. so i got a new batt-ac delco, got it for free on a saturday discount ;) . seemed fine for a while then started doing it again-when it was cold, usually if i left it for about 24hrs or so. its been doing it all summer and getting on my nerves, badly. bought a charger-$70 from walmart, good enough i figure. charged it, lasted 2.5 weeks fine no problems, even let it sit for 2 days and it was fine. now all of a sudden its doing it again and when i charge it the DD on the charger goes up to 16.9 then OL, im guessing over limit, but is still charging. i figure the alt is charging cuz when i jump it, drive it down the road for 3mins it starts fine, and the lights are always bright at night.

    sorry for the long post but...... what should i do? go get another new batt for like $70 and try that or a new alt for $140 and its a PITA to install?

    Thnaks in advance

    i like the port in the middle, looks wise the best, so if i do that id just go straight back. but what if it is longer that the depth of the box? would i make it like "T" shaped? like if i do a 5" port its gotta be 26.75" long, but can only go back 17.5" so just split the rest half on one side other half on the other? thats the part that confuses me.

    Thanks
