  1. actually wait, i don't understand what the difference between 0 db all the way to -8.8 db. Does it matter which one i use?

    The dB numbers on the scale represent dB. (Decibels)

    Negative numbers are smaller than zero. So, if 0 is the maximum, -12dB is 12 dB less than 0.

    Use 0 db,that is the maximum without distortion. I would use 0db depending on my gear. Using the -8.8 db tones will help you tune your gear from quiet to loud without added distortion. The goal is to reach 0 db without distortion.

    Did you read the post I quoted?

  2. you can find tet tones in here

    TEST Tones

    You can also get some on SMD. I used some from this post:

    http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/96978-tuning-tutorial-and-downloadable-tones-new-tone-sweeps-up/

    I got a few CD's with test tones on them, you should try to use a CD bass tone for best SQ and tuning.

    You should grab a bass mechanics CD, they have all the test tones at 1411.2 kbit/s.

    Here is a link for 1411.2 kbit/s test tones:

  3. You can get about $1,300 for this from a private party. Some shops sell this model used for $2,100. I have found some on CL in the area of $1,300.

    http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/sys/2494173879.html

    You would have to find a power user to sell this for more than $1,300. Local shops might give you $1,200 for it but I wouldn't sell it less than 1/2 for what I paid for it.

    You got the extra HD so that will bring the price up some, as for the CPU you upgraded doesn't really bring more power to the table since it is overkill for most people uses!

    To make a quick sale on CL, I bet you will only get about $1,000 off it since it is used and most people don't spend that much money on a used notebook unless it is an Apple.

  4. i have some credit from toshiba to purchase something. i want to get an external hard drive but i don't know which one. anyone have any experience with any of the hard drives from this link. thank you. http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/accessories.jsp?category=Storage#1311234321272

    Using this link instead http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/accessories.jsp?category=Storage#1311276721449. I own the Toshiba 2TB Toshiba USB 3.0 Desktop EHD. It has not given me any problems yet, owned it for about a year now. USB 3.0 is the way to go, if you don't have USB headers on your pc don't worry. It works with USB 2.0/1.1 also.

    http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=510950

    Best bang for your buck, the 3TB EHD are getting into the $149 range, so based on the $109.99 price point for the 2TB it is a good deal. My local store FRY's has 2TB USB 2.0 drives for $69.

  5. Just have a question. I just came back from a local gun shop and saw where a guy had traded in an ak-47, it looks to be in great shape with a few minor scratches, it comes with a sling, and 2 30 rd magazines, the date on the side was 1972 and it was made in Romania. They are asking $499 for it, I have no clue what its worth, does anyone on here know much about the ak's.

    This is a great AK site....

    http://www.ak-47.us/Romanian.php

    Back in the pre ban days you could get them for $300 at gun shows, now the $499 for a used one is about $100 overpriced in today's market.

    I like the milled receivers vs the stamped versions of the AK, but California legal laws suck! 10 rounds fixed mags legal only and a bunch of other stupid state laws on the books makes any CA ownership of a nice rifle SOL! I can't wait to move to Texas or Florida!

    CA sucks donkey balls!

    My old pre ban collection favorites were the machined milled receivers from one block of steel with some new aftermarket parts!

  6. I play the tables, all high rollaz BJ21. You can make a quick grand or two if you play your cards right. Last time I went, the house lost $2,000 in less than one hour!

    um FYI, if you only make 2k in high roller BJ21

    YOU ARE NOT HIGH ROLLER STATUS!!!

    I've made 6-10k a few times in less than an hour... And have lost a good amount quicker! :-/

    The tables here in SD limits are $500. So I bet $500 a hand, most people only play $5 a hand, so to me that is a high roller bet! I never leave a loser, so I consider that HIGH ROLLER STATUS!!! hahahahha anyways the lady who I roll with plays VIP over $50,000 a night so need need to hatez! I don't waste my money, the name of the game is break even, make your money and leave before you lose! Never walked out losing more money then I had in my pocket. :>

  7. where can this 2tb be purchased :clapping:

    Well I live in CALI where we have a store named Fry's. They have a website but I think you can only get the $89 price in store only.

    http://www.frys.com/

    This is the one listed on my local ad for $89 You can get it on Amazon with free shipping and no tax. $89 out the door.

    http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-ST320005EXA101-RK/dp/B002BH4ONE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1310636889&sr=8-2

  8. my gf and I are going to Vegas for the first time soon. No plans, just waiting on something.

    The first time I went to Vegas, I got caught up with all the Casinos that my wife and I didn't go watch any of the shows. The second trip we made, we made sure to see some of the Las Vegas shows! Just remember when you get to Vegas, most of the ladies are too much eye candy for the average joe! hahahhahah just make sure you gf knows that your just amazed with all the pretty lights!

    Enjoy your trip, make sure you grab a Las Vegas tourist guide. They have free plays of $100 and they list all the places where you can grab a cheap bite and you can get a lot of BOGOF crap aka buy one get one free.

    The best days to book a hotel is Tuesday - Thursdays. Don't go check in on the weekend, they charge 3X the amount for the hotel rate. You can get drinks for less than a dollar and if you play your cards right you can walk away a winner!

    Have fun...I did but I had to visit LV at least twice to see and do everything you can do there!

  9. I play the tables, all high rollaz BJ21. You can make a quick grand or two if you play your cards right. Last time I went, the house lost $2,000 in less than one hour! I play the slots to waste time if I go with a group of friends, and flirt with all the pretty ladies who serve me my drinks! Nothing compares to Vegas, going to Vegas again next month!

  10. so like the title says who has all had problems getting things warantied on their vehicle because of some BS answer from a dealership!!?? just for venting and discussion lol.

    'I have had them tell me they wouldnt warranty my alternator becuase i had a cold air intake kit so it must be a race truck' HAHA lmao

    any run ins for yall?

    Try another dealership, my warranty would be voided if I added cold intake kit. If you have the stock CAI just replace it as stock and take it back to the dealer!

    I have what FORD considers mods that voids your vechicle warranty in writing which was given to me when I bought my SUV. Your best bet is try another dealership!

    Good Luck.

  11. Before I got my new ride, I went and test drove the Jeep Liberty. I could have saved me $15,000 if I got it instead of my current ride. The price is alright for it, but I read and heard from other owners that you should never buy a Jeep made from Chrysler.

    I read and checked out all the Jeep forums and made sure that I took the Liberty on a test drive, the engine was lacking power and I felt that it wasn't designed for a daily driver for city roads. Freeway speeds were tough, the handling was off. I never got to test the 4x4 offroad yet!

    The 2011 Jeep Liberty base price here in San Diego is $18,911. Last summer they were selling at $15,000 new. Blame Japan for the price increase?

  12. so looking at going to college this fall but idk what to pick , im leaning to Collision repair but there is also auto repair and masonry that are in my mind

    I would pick auto repair, you can also learn collision repair while your are working in the auto repair field.

    Average pay for Lancaster PA Collision repair is $35,000

    Average pay for Lancaster PA Auto repair is $21,006 - $57,506

    Average pay for Lancaster PA Masons is $24,960

  13. Went downstairs this morning to do some laundry and I smelled poop :poop: . After a quick wiff of my pits, I look in the bathroom down there and there was about 8 inches of shit, water and toilet paper in the bathtub. So I spent most of the morning trying to get chemicals down the drains and it didnt help at all. So i called Roto Rooter and they stuck a camera in the "cleanout", the effin pipe is collapsed. Of course it's on my property so the city wont touch it. Long story short....went to the bank for a 10k signature loan and handed over $8700 to Roto Rooter :faintthud: , they have to dig up my yard and lay a new pipe. What a shitty situation.....literally and figuratively. When it rains it pours I suppose!!! HAHA and I was hoping to be able to start a build thread pretty soon.....shit just keeps getting further and further away. :shtf:

    Back 5 years ago, at the house I was at the piping was cast iron made from the 1930s. The sewer outlet led to an alley which was city owned. We were told that we needed to replace all the cast iron pipes with pvc plastic piping. The cost of the job was $25,000. We had shit under our house and the city workers wouldn't even look at our repair job because it still smelled like shitz a month later.

    No public company would do the job because of the shitz was labeled as hazardous waste. We had to hire another company to suck up all the shitz and dry the soil under our house before the city checked the repair job. 2 months later, the city sewer cast iron pipes broke on the city side. Our backyard smelled like shitz during the whole summer.

    Sold the house and moved. Nothing like seeing your own shit in a pool of piss and water huh. At least you can write off your repair on your 2011 taxes. That is what I did for my 2010 taxes. Shitz sucks!

  14. Router is Belkin N600 DB.

    Problem is with loosing connection with my slim 360. (wireless)

    My 2 laptops work fine, always connected. PS3 doesn't have this problem either I believe.

    My connection from router to xbox is almost always at full signal and sometimes loses a bar. But lately my Xbox has been freezing in middle of online game cause I lose Xbox Live. Literally, just Xbox Live. When I test connection the Xbox connects to router, then internet, but fails at connecting to Xbox Live. I restart just the router from comp and problem seems to go away. I'm not smart when it comes to getting the router in sync with Xbox with things like NAT type, IP, etc.. I do have an open NAT type though. The DMZ is set with same IP as Xbox is if that matters. BTW, I restored factory settings on 360 for network and it worked but started doing it again. Automatic settings on Xbox cause me to lose Live, Manual settings cause me to lose Live sometimes...

    Thanks for any help. I've unplugged modem, router a few times in the past and problems come back after awhile. I've had this Xbox since middle March.

    Just a case of pointing fingers, some say it's an XBL issue and others say it is a Belkin issue:

    You can read this: http://en-us-support.belkin.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3817/~/adding-a-microsoft-xbox-to-your-router-network

    OR MS issues here:

    http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-live/troubleshoot/connection-issues/default.aspx

    When I used to play MLG gaming with Gamebattles, our clans never used wireless connections. Direct connect is the best for gameplay for XBL. No lags, drops, or time outs. I would just try to update the firmware of your router if they have a newer .bin file out.

    Lastest firmware listed for your router was March 2011 link here.

  15. but bluetooth streaming does not get you a full range signal. I know I have no subwoofer output when i do it in the car. not to mention it doesnt exactly sound the best.

    I don't have any issues. I get full range from my BT audio. Subs play nice, when I turn on my Sirus Radio the BT audio stream sounds bettter to me.

    Bluetooth is a digital transmission, and will basically transmit the bits from point a to point b intact, there will be virtually no bit errors. Any loss in quality will come from a poor implementation of the audio on the HU or BT hardware side, not due to bluetooth not having a full range signal.

    So the best signal you will get is .wav or .pcm at 1411 kbs streamed via BT not mp3 at 320bits. I listen too all my audio via 1411 kb unless I am playing some decaf tracks.

    Old spec BT has those issues you mention because first gen BT crap sends out compressed data hence the loss of feq and sound quality. I use the new Bluetooth Version 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) which does streaming of uncompressed data so there is no loss of signal data.

    Most HU work off the old BT tech like Bluetooth Specification Version 1.1, 1.2 and earlier.

  16. Something similar to Mobb Deep, Capone-N-Noreaga, The Roots, Wu-Tang ect. I like a lot of different music but with the shit that's been coming out now days I've been sticking with old east coast music.

    You didn't mention KRS 1 WTF, you said old east coast music. KRS smashed all of the above you listed! His new flow is alright, but his old battle jams just smash all the shitz you hear on the radio waves today!

  17. My dad had his stroke 5 years ago, the doctors told us that he was going to be down and out for a long time. Within 2 years my dad got passed his paralysis on his left side. We helped him recover, love and patience is the key. It helps to have alot of family around.

    Now 5 years later, my dad found out back in Jan 2011 he had brain and lung cancer. The doc's told us that it was slim for his recovery. He lost 70 pounds and been fighting for his will to live. Six months later with komo and radation treatment, he has rebounded and gained his lost weight back. They didn't cure his cancer but they treated it. He will have a good 5 years or so before it looks bad for him again.

    All this negative crap will bring a negative emotion to the aura of the energy field in your presence. You need to bring more postive energy into your field to help not only you, but your buddy!

  18. http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Verbatim-Car-audio-Mark-Rogers-Store-N-Go-flash-memory,news-11474.htmllooks ok. I read Toms Hardware daily, and came across this, kinda cool, but worth it vs a reg drive..whatcha think?

    youd have to get a 1tb drive utilizing flash memory. most headunits wont read any regular old usb hard drive. I like it. I hate the look of the normal thumb drive sticking out the front.

    youd have to get a 1tb drive utilizing flash memory. most headunits wont read any regular old usb hard drive. I like it. I hate the look of the normal thumb drive sticking out the front.
    Well I'll try it sometime & let you know. :D

    All you need is to get a external NAS case that does bluetooth, you then can sync the drive via bluetooth streaming! No need for flash USB or any extra crap. You headunit must support BT streaming. Mine does, and I have a 500 GB drive under the seat. You just have to hard wire your unit to your DC 12V-24V line for power.

    Most of the time I just use my 64GB flash drive, the more songs you got on your device the longer it takes the HU to index all your music.
