  1. For those of you who have bought a ring

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

    Posted

    I got my girlfriend this one for Christmas 2 years ago. She loved it then and loves it now. http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1%7C10101%7C10001%7C-1%7C22060204%7C15064%7C15064.15121.17106

    I also looked at this one when I was buying her the other one: http://www.kay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product1%7C10101%7C10001%7C-1%7C22323505%7C15064%7C15064.15121.17106

    The first one's a bit more expensive, but for me it was totally worth the extra money to get her the one I thought was right. I hope this helps!

  4. BTL is a monster

    in Subwoofers / Enclosures

    If your clipping light is going off, your audio signal is clipping, either because the song is clipped or because your gains are too high. Clipping happens when you try to push too much power out of your amp. This diagram helps explain it:

    fig1.gif

    The wave on the left is a sine wave, which is what a clean signal looks like with a o-scope. The wave on the right is a clipped wave. The dotted line shows where the wave WOULD be if the amp was capable of putting out a wave that strong, but due to the RMS voltage, it limits the power output of the amp, meaning the crests of the waves are "clipped" off. This can be really bad for both your subs and amp. If your BTL isn't happy on the 2200d, clipping it won't make it any happier. I suggest upgrading your amp. Meade ran his BTL's on 2 2500's each IIRC, so you should be fine with an amp upgrade.

  8. gotta vent

    Lol, you just gave me entertainment for the next 2 months by posting a link to his profile in there.

    Also, message the guy like styleone said. Be mature about it, don't act like you're e-raging. No swears, no threats, just tell him to kindly back the fuck off. Actually you can swear. It gets the point across better. Have your girlfriend de-friend him and block him from viewing her profile all together (under Privacy settings). You can either confront him about it or ignore him. I suggest doing the message first and then doing the ignore/block part if he doesn't leave her alone.

  15. PHASE 2 - Moving SMD to a dedicated server!

    in SMD NEWS / ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Posted

    I know today the sight has been running Blazingly fast today, I don't know if it is the dedicated servers of the Google Chrome I switched to.........

    Also BTW I just noticed that the reply boxes have spell check, so there is no reason to make messed up posts that no one can read.

    That's Google Chrome's built-in spell check. I use Chrome as my default browser, and I love it. It's a bit more of a memory hog than Firefox if you've got lots of tabs open, but that's simply because it makes each individual tab into a different process, which I think is a better idea. If one tab dies, the browser can just shut down that tab and the others keep going unaffected, unlike Firefox which shuts down the whole browser. But that spell check is the reason I never have spelling errors in my posts. XD

  20. rookie to the game

    in Mid's and highs

    Check out THIS PAGE on Crutchfield.com. I looked up some goodness on your 1998 Acura 3.2 TL and here's what it came up with:

    In-dash stereo

    7-15/16" depth; Size code DD,E

    Front speakers

    Dash: Tweeter factory speaker note

    Front Door: 6-1/2"

    Rear speakers

    Rear Deck: 6x9"

    You'll want to find speakers that will fit in the spot of the existing ones. For $300-$400, you should be able to get a solid front stage with an amp. I'll go right ahead and suggest getting a component set and not coaxials, based a little bit on personal experience and a lot on what I've read.

  21. Does anyone know what to do about a red ring of death?

    in Video Games (All consoles) Ratings, previews, demos......the latest

    Posted

    Xbox.xom -> Support -> Register a Console -> Repair a Console

    Should be a free repair for the RRoD. It's a known issue. Even if it's not under warranty, should be free. If they say it's not free, call 1-800-4-MY-XBOX and talk to a customer service rep. I've had the RRoD on 2 consoles i owned and they were both free repairs.

    Just do it the legit way and don't do the stupid towel trick. It'll work for a week tops and in that time you could have had it shipped out and halfway back. They give you a free 1-month card for LIVE as well.

  23. Science project help

    we are gonna use copper, aluminum, wood, and plastic. Hes only in 5th grade (and no im not smarter) his Hypothesis only has to be one sentence/statement

    Sweet. Didn't see this before I posted. :fool:

    A good hypothesis would have some sort of variable you would change, like the voltage or their shape or something. Without a changing variable, it's not really a true experiment. I'm not sure if it's THAT important for a 5th grader to have independent and dependent variables in their science fair project though. Just testing which ones conduct may be good enough.

    Hypothesises (Hypothesys?) are usually just a one-sentence statement, but are usually followed by a little explaination.

    EXAMPLE: If I stick a fork into a wall socket, I will get electrocuted (don't try this at home)

    The point of an experiment is NOT to prove your hypothesis, but to test it. The hypothesis is just the basis for your experiment. So, if I stuck a fork in a wall socket and didn't get electrocuted, it wasn't a failed experiment, because I now know something else about the relation between sticking a fork in a wall socket and getting electrocuted.

    I know that's kinda a pretty simple definition. If you want a really complete definition, check out Wikipedia.

  25. How many batterys do i need?

    in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring

    Posted

    I wouldnt listen to that because its not accurate.

    Not every battery need 10A to charge.

    It depends on battery charge level, battery size, and battery type, and manufacturing quality.

    XS Power batts are AGM batteries and have a much lower ESR than wet cell batteries, this makes them easier to charge.

    I recommend first choosing your amplifiers, then choosing the proper battery setup to power those amps, then choose an alternator capable of charging those batts properly.

    There it is. I was waiting for someone with more expertise. HHR knows his shit. TY for cleaning up my post :good:
