microscopic? no.they are both made out of brass. the plating is just for looks for the most part. connectors are gold plated because gold wont corrode. its not to make a lower resistance connection, i dont care what their marketing team tell you. Just did some research and I guess you're right, it doesn't help to fill the gaps. I don't know where I heard that, but I've been believing that for years now lol. And I'm pretty sure they're made out of copper on the inside, I've ground one down with a dremel before (the chrome version). Plus why would they use brass when it's a worse conductor than even aluminum? umm... 5/16 inch ring opening 24K gold plated finish for maximum power transfer 100 percent solid brass construction 5 black boots and 5 red boots Genuine Stinger quality and to answer your question, it's cheaper.

i always bring in my headphones when i shit at work. now i can play games and not hear anyone elses noises and I dont care about the noises I make lol. one time i unlocked my phone while in the stall and the iphone makes that click sound... sounded like i just took a picture. and there was someone in the stall next to me lol.

add me, ill go boot it up.

im home already. anyone ready to play?

I did. I told him that was a $1500 amp and we are talking about the amps under $500 so his test proved nothing except that they make one high quality amp.

What did that prove, their amp is only good for cutting cans? you have any idea how little resistance there is when he did that? hes creating a direct short on the speaker leads and the amp isnt melting/catching fire. its fucking impressive. I completely understand what he did but how does that speak for how the amp will perform (Sound Quality Wise), don't get me wrong that was very impressive not going to front about that. like i said, he made the video because I made a comment about their amps being cheaply made. its taken out of context now so its hard to explain but the conversation back then wasnt about SQ or THD. it was about reliability.

What did that prove, their amp is only good for cutting cans? you have any idea how little resistance there is when he did that? hes creating a direct short on the speaker leads and the amp isnt melting/catching fire. its fucking impressive.this isnt about dirty power or anything negative. its just the heat from a direct short. any amp would do it but he's showing his has the power to cut metal and not explode.

hahaha, this is fairly old but he made that video because of something i said about their amps being of poor quality. of course he used his top of the line amp that costs well over $1,000 and i was talking about the low-mid level amps lol. that guy works at US amps btw

there is a maca show this weekend but its down past visalia. closer than Reno though. its a weird time in the competition scene at the moment. DBdrag just had its world finals. shows usually pick up over the summer. they should start rolling in pretty soon now if we are not at the beginning of that time already. just look for DBdrag and MECA.

might work. get an amp with a lowpass filter so you can make sure the lights only blink to low frequencies. obviously you dont care if you mess up the amp so give it a shot.

connecting to speaker terminals, just like a speaker, you need resistance. just putting in a bunch of LEDs will have very little resistance and it would be like running your 1ohm amp at .1ohm. (just an example)

thats not how a mic works.... you cant just hook up whatever voltage you want to it and expect it to work the way you want. either way, with those lights you have to constantly adjust the sensitivity. it'll be perfect for one song on one volume setting. change to a new song with a different level of bass, lights will need to be adjusted. I had one with my first system cause i thought it was cool. it was a pain in the ass and i rarely used it.

i just picked it up the other day from a blockbuster that was closing. been playing story mode with a buddy of mine but we can play horde mode with you guys tonight. i will probably be on at about 8pm pacific time. maybe a little earlier tonight. skittlesRgood15

for the light, silicone would be my choice. that or some closed cell foam. either way, take the light out and put the product between the light and the metal it mounts to. for the other piece, panel bond. its made to bond metal to plastic with the strength of a weld.

you mean when someone takes a hot RCA and the middle pin touches the outer part of the female connector, creating a short. a big job of a fuse is to protect against failure when there is a short. why people hot swap RCAs is beyond me. seems like common sense to turn off the radio. It's completely user error when that fuse blows. Pioneer could have put in a protection circuit instead, and they do on the DDs I have bought, but its not pioneer's fault that the fuse keeps blowing.

how are you coming up with a 46" long port? are you adding the two lengths together? are you bending the port?

ventilators? top of your sound system? picture fail? i confused.

rare is it that someone actually posts a good deal in the hot deals section....

you only get charged tax if they are in the same state as you.

you can feel the relay click if it is working.

you will be fine. chances are your voltage is lower once the alt warms up anyways. but still, itll be ok.

yep, looks like it

ill do it! lol. the tin is just a coating to protect the terminal from corroding. the lug is still all made of copper.

just because you have noise and a pioneer HU doesn't mean the two are related. just the fact that you have noise in one set of RCAs and not the others tells me that this has nothing to do with the pico fuse and grounding the RCA would do nothing. as you discovered. unplug the RCAs at the amp and see if you still get noise. if you do, it cant possibly be the HU or RCAs. if the noise is gone, then plug the RCAs back in and unplug them at the HU. if noise returns, its a bad RCA.
