      If so you should probably reconsider that. I'm not going to let you act like a dick because its fun to you.

      I'm fed up with executive orders, n8

  2. Is there anything lame but necessary about going active that I need to be ready to deal with?

    1. Leo1103

      Leo1103

      how many speakers you going to be running active?

    2. OrionStang

      Making it sound good is necessary. That means hours of tweaking and tuning, which gets lame.

      2 tweets 2 mids... hours of tweaking with anything really.

  3. It's all fun and games until you get out of bed in the morning -_-

      I am fixing an audio shops job in my friends Challenger. He insisted on taking it there to put in an amp and sub keeping the factory radio, I offered to do it and he refused now I am on the re-do.

      Experienced the same thing a few times..now I refuse to fix shit if I offered in the first place and they passed me up.

      Last time I ever tried to help someones bad intall they taped the stock harness they cut to install the radio..fuck that mess.

      Good luck too you.

      Got him all sorted out. They used a speaker level to RCA thing and it the wires they stripped going into it looked like they had been placed under a tire and peeled out on. I cleaned all that up under the dash then re-ran the RCAs so they weren't RIGHT NEXT TO the power wire. After that just had to tune the amp, no problem.

  5. Meet someone awesome, get blown off by them a few thousand times, no longer talk.

  6. Nothing like the smell of rosin-core solder in the morning

  9. When the cops tell your drunken friends to turn the music down, make sure they just turn the damned music down!

      When the cops come back after being there before, run.

    2. 8ight

      8ight

      I live in a small town. The cops are bored. 8 patrol cars, an SUV, 12+ cops over a party consisting of about 30 people. They let themselves in after get a unsatisfactory answer about the music.

  10. Only going to one day of SBN since it's pretty local and I don't have the cash for a hotel, which day should I come?

  11. I love the sound of Motorola transistors

    1. White Lightning

      White Lightning

      you need linear power amps then

    2. 8ight

      The sound of Moto TO-3s is on another level, for now my FETs are tiny and square :(

  12. Different amps sound different. Period!

      Guilty, so guilty. Unfortunately my 4ch is in the shop with a cooked preamp IC

  13. I've finally decided on a sub for the new build, going with the Pioneer Stage 4 10"

    1. purplesyrup

      purplesyrup

      I have not seen that sub until you mentioned it, googled it, looks really nice man!

    2. 8ight

      8ight

      A little pricey, I will source one since I only need one small sub it may as well be badass I figure. Wish I could afford the PRS components to go with it.

  14. Ignore the false flags. They want our rights.

    1. Bigsix

      Bigsix

      Yup. Convenient, with the timing of the shit going down aint it?

    2. 8ight

      8ight

      Too convenient for this guy

  15. Someone buy my 20.1 or trade me a BC3500! I have cash! lol

    1. CNF Kevosinn

      CNF Kevosinn

      what amp do you have?

    2. 8ight

      8ight

      An IA 20.1, the new style

  16. It's a real shame to watch Thinkpads become the sticker-laden trash that every other me-too manufacturer sells. I really don't know what I'm going to replace mine with, and it needs a replacement right now...

      You and me both. Lost a few brain cells this weekend.

  18. I hate it when I take the time to sit down and enjoy a cigar and it's bad. Guess I can't even rely on Punch to deliver a quality stogie anymore.

    1. Big-A

      Big-A

      I never really stuck with just 1 brand. But I really started liking the Drew Estate Chateau Real and Natural.

    2. 8ight

      8ight

      I smoke many different cigars, about 2-3 a week and rarely the same kind unless I really like them and buy a box. Punch is just a go-to brand for a good stick, I was in an unfamiliar shop so I bought a Punch PITA knowing that it would be good and it wasn't in the least bit. Poor roll, poor taste, bad draw even after poking it, but it had a beautiful even burn and ash.

  19. (Hopefully) going to pick up my amps from the shop today, been too long without music!

    1. BassHead1990

      8ight

      a Zapco Ref 1000.4 (grey one) and an Alpine 1505. The Zap was treated to a new preamp IC for channels 1+2 and the Alpine got some new RCA jacks.

  20. So I guess a "cyber attack" is the black flag they're going to use to strip us of our internet freedom.

      its only going to get worse. Wait til you see the DLP for social networking software thats being rolled out.

      I can only imagine, being in IT makes this so much more painful. Everyone I work with realizes that the government can do nothing but spy, and implement nothing that isn't a spy tool. That is what they will call "cyber security."

  21. Some extremely nice RCAs for the money on eBay right now http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=canare+f-09&_sacat=0&_from=R40 just ordered a set for my new build

    1. Omega5002

      Omega5002

      Those look really nice, and prices aren't bad either
