  15. Shout out to all Black Ops 360 players

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

    Posted

    Ok whats up SMD world. I just wanting to cordially invite you all to to join this awesome clan. KSI Iodine. I'm looking to recruit some fun gamers. You dont have to be amazing at black ops or have some outrageous K/D ratio. You just have to enjoy gaming and having fun. That's all I do get on have fun get off. I'm just offering this to you people that dont take playing black ops too serious, but still want to be competitive. No more hoping in lobbies on the losing team and getting smacked around. Its a little known fact if you have good players around you on your team you do better (or at least it is for me)

    If your interested send me a message on XBL G/T: Ghetto Otheao <-(got my tag from a NAS song lol) You can also PM me here I'm almost always on both lol

    Thanks for reading.

  17. Tablet PC reviews

    in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice

    Posted

    I have 3 laptops lol and a bad ass desktop. Im at work a lot and I think a tablet would help with classes somewhat (i.e. meeting deadline and such). Though this will be more of a toy. Im leaning towards the Ipad 2, but I just worry about apple putting out new shit every other day just to make people buy from them. I mean I don't want to have a $500 investment be turned to nothing in 6 months because it doesn't have a kickstand or something like the new one. I may be trippin', and I know electronics get old fast in general, but the way these tablets are advertised everywhere and how much they cost, us consumers should get the most for our money. If you don't research or ask questions you'll be stuck with a $500 piece of shined shit with an apple or a little green man logo on it.

    ^^^ok sorry about the RANT but SLINKY my bestbuy doen't have any on display that are interactive their all those plastic prototype thingys.

  20. Which Upcoming Albums/Mixtapes you psyched for?

    in Tunez - All things music related

    Posted

    Curious to hear what your guy's most anticipated mixtape or album is. That is dropping before the end of the year.

    Mine would be J Cole. Been waiting forEVER for this album. Should go hard.

    Next would be Game's R.E.D. album. Alot of the other people I listen to have already dropped or wont be dropping this year.

    Also cant forget Jeezy's TM: 103 and the mixtape that is supposed to drop prior to the album drop.

    Gucci and waka.

    Gucci and Waka Ferrari Boys? Thts out

    Alright everyone I'm looking to get a tablet PC. I'm leaning towards an IPad2, but I'm not sure. i want to be able to game on it and I go to school online too so a good online browser is a plus. (My school has an Ipad app). So if anyone wants to and are willing to I would love to get everyone's reviews of these tablet PCs since there are too many out there for me to make an informed decision.

  24. quick question

    in XS Power Batteries / Chargers! (and other stuff too)

    Haha my setup wasnt that costly actually. Only 6k for what i paid and its worth over 8k.

    And another good tip is that batteries are mainly for storing power when your vehicle is off to give you some play time, to assist with voltage drop when your alt cant produce enough amperage to run your equipment, and to act as a buffer for storage from your alt to the amp. Other than that, your alt is what takes the full on force of keeping your voltage up high and charging your batteries up to the normal operating range of them.

    Also, for voltage drop, where is your amp in the vehicle grounded off to? If its a unibody construction vehicle, ground it to the strut tower or go full out and make a dedicated ground from front to back. If you have an actual frame you can use that to ground to. And you dont happen to have a capacitor in your system at all do you? I had one and as soon as i drained that puppy out of juice, it attacked my battery and alternator up front to get its power back and my voltage would drop badly until i removed it from the system for good.

    And finally, you cant really get rid of voltage drop unless you have more power from your alts than your max amount of current draw from your entire vehicles electrical system (this includes your amps) and a capacitor (very large one in my case but i wont use them ever again) to help with those quick bursts of voltage drop. Capacitors are made to work with a system where the electrical system is perfect but you have quick moments of voltage drop because your alternators Voltage Regulator does not work that fast and takes some time before it tells the alt to produce more power. The capacitor will take that time it takes for the alternator to realize it needs to pump out more juice and keep the voltage the same as well as it can.

    For a ground in my system, i didnt go balls out for the ground (yet, lol) and run a dedicated ground from the rear battery bank to the front battery. What i did was in the engine bay i took a ground from the negative of my battery, drilled a hole in the frame to fit a 3/8 bolt through it (threaded the frame hole so it screwed into itself) and then took a wire wheel brush to the frame to remove the paint and put the ground on up there. Then when i got done with it i painted over it 2 times to prevent rust and corrosion. For the rear, i took the cargo bolts that my truck had and removed one of them, then i bought a longer bolt at Valu and put that through the existing hole for the cargo bolt. Then under the truck i got a nut for that same bolt and put a wire from the bolt to the frame in the rear. I have .1 ohms of resistance in that ground wire and my power is equally the same for the front and rear.

    The ONLY time my lights flicker is if im at a stop and i dont rev up my engine (i idle at 600 RPM's) and my alt isnt putting out full power so when i go full tilt my lights will flicker and my voltage drops down to 13.5 some volts, give or take a few millivolts. Then if i start driving it goes right back up to 14.45 like its supposed to.

    Your set-up sounds sick

    I used to have a power capacitor, but it was making a huge impact on my system and my lights flickered even after I did the big 3. So I got rid of it and my system sounds even better now. The ground I have is grounded to the metal inside my trunk. I know I can get a better one its just the concept of me not being so damn busy so I can get out there and do everything right. I plan on redoing my entire system except subs (i.e: running 1/0awg all throughout, (2) aq 1200s, a new hu, building a new box, adding batteries, and new components and tweets) and while I'm getting all that done I'm going to do the ground more secure. Right now I'm dealing with a shitty install done by the previous owner of my car.

    Thanks for the info though I really appreciate it. I always get a lot of useful info from this site. I took my car to a local installer once to see if they could help me diagnose a problem I had. They went over all the shit I had already went over and couldn't figure it out either. I was like man I got a lot of my info from SMD, but you guys are trained a don't know more? I eventually figured it out though it was this shitty pioneer amp I had

  25. quick question

    Have you done the Big 3?

    yes I have

    The idea of having multiple batteries kill your alt is b.s. if you ask me. I ran my first system in my Envoy off the stock 120 some odd amp alternator and i had a XS S3400 and D3100 in the system for power. I did NOT do the big-3 and only had a volt to at most 2 volts of drop at the peak of a bass hit. I never got the alt hot or anything either nor did i burn out a wire on the stock system. It can run it but the only real way you burn out alts is if your draw a shit ton of current and cannot get the power replaced. For example if you have amps like i do now and run them at the ohm load i do off a stock alt, you will slowly kill the alt as it will work its ass off to try and charge the batteries back up. As long as you dont drain the crap out of the batteries you will be perfectly fine to add them in your vehicle with the stock alt.

    I would if you can perform the big-3 as it does help more than you think with voltage drop and power transfer. I always have the tendency to get better batteries then a alternator to wrap it up for the electrical system. If your batteries are in good shape (floating voltage of 12.5+) you can just get a better alt and use that for now then get the batteries.

    Thanks for the info really appreciate it. Don't think I'll be running anywhere near your set-up anytime soon....unless I sell my house. lol.gif
