  1. I shaved my head for 2 years because I wasn't NOT going to age gracefully...I noticed my hairline slowly walking away from my face and decided to be proactive...my wife asked me to grow it back since she met me 13 years ago with hair, although more of it. It happens, dude...let it go. you can shave or get a rug or plugs, but either way you go people are going to know you've lost your hair. if you have a pretty head shave it off.
  2. I use RevChem...I can buy it in 55-gallon drums for $600 or 5-gallon buckets for $80 or by the gallon for $22. it's not a brand name, but it's better than anything you'll find at homey depot. Marine supply stores sell good stuff without a brand name...you'll save money and get better stuff...evercoat has a high wax content
  3. OP - if you are going to ask questions that have been answered time and again, please, at the very least, use the correct vernacular...ohm load sounds ignorant...nominal impedance is the term you are looking for. When a SET of speakers says 4-ohm components the FINAL impedance is going to be 4-ohms.
  4. dirty recordings will do that...it happens
  5. My girl is Bat Shit Crazy like me!!! those are the best kind...sleep with one eye open and you'll live a long happy life together...congrats, brother. words of advice from a thrice married guy who finally got it right: don't find joy or entertainment in antagonizing her or pissing her off (like I did with my first 2 marriages). Instead, make her the center of your world, and she will make you the center of hers...you got married because you love each other. always remember that, no matter what else happens, you love each other and your union will last forever. Also remember that it isn't a free ride...it's WORK. you have to work to keep a marriage fresh and strong. i wish you two the best. Thanx man, i appreciate the words. We both have had a shit life up till now, so we have that to fall back on, we both have the drive to keep from the "Old Ways" and we do make each other happy. Shes, nutz, rude, mean as a rattle snake, and sexy as fuck.. what else could i want in a wife!!! I love this girl like no other, and we have many years together if we do WORK at it like you said bro...Thanks again! sounds like my kinda girl...

  7. I don't think there is any set age for the exam. all it takes is a little studying to get the MECP Basic. That is essentially a certified apprenticeship. meaning, youknow enough to start learning for real. once you get your basic you need to get a job working under someone with at least 15 year experience who will teach you how things are supposed to be done...CORRECTLY.
  8. unless you've checked with a meter you don't really know. you should have less than 200 milliohms resistance between the amplifier ground (at the amp) and the ground at the battery.
  9. welcome to California, where we call it the criminal justice system because only the criminals see any real justice...if you take it into your own hands you're going to jail...if you want the cops to do something about it call the DOJ and explain that they are involved with a theft ring in your area. They are protecting known criminals who continue to burgle your neighborhood and refuse to help. Under California law, by definition, they are aiding and abetting...they won't like it, but they'll finally do something.
  10. can that sub handle 3000 watts? 77^2 = 5929 5929/2 = 2964.5 watts at measured frequency.
  11. yes, albeit a short tunnel. remember, you don't want to add load to the subs with this...it's not a bandpass.
  12. maybe your sub can't handle that much power. at what impedance are you supposed to be getting 77v?
  13. so yeah i just saw a post where you almost went on a gun rampage...lol. my mom has kidney stones all the time. had some just a couple days ago actually. my brother has had em twice, last time sort of recently. he's a big ass husky dude and they brought him straight to his knees curled over a bed. my sister has them as well now. hopefully i took after my dad and i don't get them. i pray i don't ever have to go through that. you can't really hold that against me...i had just quit smoking. It doesn't count
  14. I always used a 100hz tone because that's what CEA required we rate amplifiers at. RMS ratings are at 100hz or 1000Hz, depending on the class and if they are labelled "subwoofer amplifier" or "full range" or however each company chooses to name them. "Monoblock" amps may be rated at 100Hz, even if they are technically full range (full range go to 20kHz, a sub only amp does not)
  15. lmao!! if you don't go to the Dr. you're not sick...only sick people go to the Dr...
  16. positive and negative output terminals EDIT: let me clarify, since you're having trouble...use the output terminals going to the speaker. so positive will be the wire coming from the master, negative will be the wire coming from the slave...(it's AC so it doesn't matter which DMM probe goes to which terminal)...set your gain with a test tone ONLY. I use 100Hz when bench testing amps, but you should use your resonant frequency, then run a SLOW sweep to make sure you don't jump to clipping at any particular frequency...when you run your sweep put the DMM on MAX HOLD.
  17. why is it weird? the fewer people they tell the lower the chances their targets find out...in a small town everyone knows everyone else...and this guy is BOUND to know at least one person on the force or their relative
  18. all the carbonated soft drinks...i was up to 12 or more a day for a while...stopped that crap about a year ago. now I may have one, but it's taken this long for them to come loose. my back stopped hurting a few days ago...not sure if that means it made it to my bladder, or if it just quit moving, but I'm not letting my guard down yet
  19. mine was 2x5...it came out the long way. It still hurts when I get dehydrated and pee. it's like the scar tissue gets irritated. I never want to go through that again....and I'm nowhere NEAR rich...I've done alright, but I'm just a regular guy. as for the badass part...look left. up to you
  20. BTW, when I was in jr high and high school my best friend and I (yes, he is still my best friend and we still do stupid shit) used to make pipe bombs for fun. black powder model rocket engines and homemade napalm and C4 (nike missile site by the house was closed after WWII, but they used it as a munitions dump for years...then abandoned it...we called the tunnels our party house, and whatever we found became ours...yeah, I know it's illegal NOW, but back then it was just stuff in an abandoned tunnel)...we used to blow up 100 foot pine trees just for fun...man, what my dad used to call "shenanigans" are now called "felonies"...kids can't have ANY fun anymore
  21. you'll quickly notice all your tweakers disappear...they'll be in the closet with the lights off.
  22. in 4 days you will have cravings so bad you will want to go on a killing spree...I mean that very very literally...I actually went to my gun safe and managed to get the door open about 6 inches before my wife tackled me...If you need help Commit lozenges work to kill the nic fit. it will take years to break the oral fixation and habit of going for your pocket during certain activities, like driving, drinking or playing golf...my dad still reaches for his breast pocket when we sit at a bar for a couple beers...he quit 40 years ago. stay strong, bro...it can be done
  23. here's what I can do for you now...picture a simple cover panel...a frame with a giant hole cut out of the middle. this needs to be a symmetrical hole, but can be any shape really (I like to make it as large as possible while maintaining rigidity). The outside dimensions are the same as the face of the enclosure. The inside allows all sound to pass. When laid over the face of the enclosure it will not affect sound and you will barely see it. The second panel will fit the shape of the opening you see when the seats are folded down. The cutout should be about the same shape as the other cutout....just for ease of stretching fleece. staple fleece to the enclosure side piece and secure the enclosure side to the enclosure using screws around the edges...put tape over them so you can get them out later. now secure the opening side piece so it can be removed with the entire enclosure through the trunk once resined. stretch fleece symmetrically and very tightly (you'll thank me later for this...put your back into it). staple to the opening piece. resin. make sure you soak all the way through (plastic and mask the entire trunk and back seat or you'll end up with a huge mess) finally, marglass the edges to seal them to the car's opening making a perfect fit. upholster with carpet or vinyl (paint of that's what you like) and you're done. I used to charge $1000 for a collar. you can do it for under $50.
  24. I will do my best to find something for you...Sounddomain is down and that's where all my pics are hosted
  25. if you're firing into the seats (fold down) I like to build a collar. 2 frames, one mounted to the tower/seat frame and the other to the front of the enclosure. then stretch fleece between them and resin. reinforce with kitty hair from the back. done. 3 hours max
