    I love em.  Try to find a cascade for a properly tart sour beer.  Some 'sours' are kind of bastards in that the brewer may just dump sweet juice in at the end and not referment it.  Also check out Jolly Pumpkin out of Michigan.  Theyre on point too.

    I almost forgot I commented on this last night lol sweet, thanks man! Ohio has a few local breweries that have a sour beer, was apprehensive to get something I may not like

    Similar beer except using red raspberry as opposed to white and standard oak barrels instead of sovignon aged oak. Crisper, fruitier, less funky. 

    EDIT: the fruit added is fernented to dryness, this is not a beer with raspberry juice added at the bottling stage.

    Anything new on the system? Still lovin it?

    nope. everything is still the same. took the door panel out to do some final thinking / shaping. It may be a ton of finagle work to get these to mount and secure up like I would like to. Sometimes I want to try to adapt just one 6.5 in the stock location and throw the factory panel on and call it a day... Its hard for me to match this interior shade 100% and my ocd just doesnt allow that.. well see!

    Nice work man! Doors look good.

    About the USB. Play a 1kHz test tone, unplug RCAs from the 4ch amp, put your DMM on the rca leads, and read voltage. Then wiggle your USB connection and see if voltage moves erratically. If so, the voltage swings (like erratic ‘on-offs’) could send the amp into protect. 

    I would wiggle every connection in the signal path to see if something else is amiss while youre at it. Good luck man! 

    Also: your poor door hinges lol

    thanks man! Yeah any thing I want to try I will. I oscoped every gain on all 3 amps to prevent wierd issues like this. 1k 0 db test track for 4 channel and 40 hz -5 db Id still like to buy a dd1 to put my mind at ease. I appreciate the input! It always helps to have a fresh set of eyes. 

    Yes they are hurting. they are in need of a good greasing but the one panel with speakers prob weights like 30+ pounds. Thats one reason why I almost want to modify the stock location to make one 6.5 work and cram another in my kick panel location.

    Not much progress at all. Fit my trunk trim piece after sitting all winter and somehow had a magical 3/4" gap appear in between the panel and sub box. Literally changed nothing lol have no idea what happened. Dr side door panel interferes with rocker panel cover so will have to do some shaping again. Test fit passenger side and it clears thankfully. Thats about it as far as fab work goes. 

    Other day my main 4 channel started going into protect after a certain volume using the usb inputs? didnt try bluetooth but seems weird I can crank the tuner and it doesnt protect but as soon as I switch to ipod it does it. All audio tracks are clean.. Flat EQ, no loudness no SLA, big time head scratcher. Out of curiosity was able to rip everything out and disconnect the wires going up front door panels since theres nothing there right now. And back to normal. I doubt anything is pinched or shorting but I was able to dodge the rain to do this much so well see what I can figure out.

    Oh. My. God.

    I just spent the last 10 minutes on the phone with him trying to tell him how to hook up a monitor and that YES, it does indeed need to be plugged into the wall. And yes, you need an HDMI cable. No you don't need to use the other ports on the back of the GPU. Yes they're there. Yes they're there for a reason. Yes it's for backwards compatibility. Yes there are different display protocols for different bandwidth requirements. No a VGA cable won't work. No VGA cables WONT WORK

    Then he can't figure out screen resolution. So at this point I try to get a remote desktop connection established because no way in hell I'd be able to explain that. So then I need to explain for another 10 minutes that remote desktop doesn't mean a wireless monitor. 

    Fuuuucking hell we're an hour into this and he still doesn't have his monitor hooked up. Like.. I set the thing up to be PnP. All he needed to do is plug in a screen and go. 

    To those of you who work in tech support and deal with this on a daily basis: My condolences. I literally couldn't do it

    Snow I got this question today. Thank fuck its Friday

    "What does the mother board do? Is this where the memory stored like I tones and the internet?"

    Ton of work. How did it sound?

    the sound is great, i may as well not even have rear fill, over powers them so much. Im just so tempted to butcher those rings out and start over :(

    No tweeter in this one, just plugged them in, 0 tuning. (sorry for michael j fox filmwork)

     

     

    With the tweeter.

     

    It passes the Pink Floyd test too. Thats a must in my book

     

    Hold up

    After a ton of glazing and sanding. Realized I may just be painting these so might as well take the time to make them look decent.

    KIMG0922

    barely hits but enough to drive me nuts.

    KIMG0930
