Congrats D!!

Looked like the 2nd detective that came around the corner shot him. He had to make a split second decision and was probably hard to tell if he was putting the gun down or getting ready to raise it up like maybe he dropped it. May have felt he was saving the other cop from getting shot. The shooter had no time to analyze. Adrenaline was pumping and it was real time.

so you gonna let someone rough up your pops while you have a gun in your hand? Dude is taking a legger MINIMUM if im at the store. Maybe not shoot his head because i wouldn't want to clean up that mess. Are you that good of a shot to where you would shoot a guy in the leg while he was close enough to your pops to have his hands on him? Or when would you squeeze that round off?

Here in AZ you are justified in using deadly force if you can prove that you felt that yours or someone elses life was in immediate danger and there were no other options to save the life. You could PROBABLY get away with shooting the guy. The courts would take into consideration the 2 feet and 200lbs difference

#1 I would consider it shoplifting andtry to whoop his ass or at least try to when he shoved my dad. #2 Dude would be shot What about you Meade?

Thank you sir!

Yeah, not just trying to make a buck like some of his haters accuse him of, the dude does what's right by people. Good people right there.

-10db on the Plus version and -10db on the original version are both the same. The difference is that you can adjust your overlaps down to the tenth from 15db down instead of only having 4 choices. With a new digital readout, you can actually see on screen what is happening. You can see where gains are when the customer shows up (and know how F##KED UP they really are, and they ALWAYS are). You can set the gains properly and record the results so you know if they were tampered with at a later time. It has HV parts inside of it so it can take ANY amp on the market even @18v fully clipped and not blow up. It has a few other useful features as well. But if you only used your's once, you have no current job, i don't suggest you order up the new model. Leave well enough alone for now. The standard DD-1 is still the flagship of our brand and will do just fine Upgrade when you are ready to get even more serious, but right now you should be ok. Damn Steve. As if you didn't have enough of my respect already bro. Thank you for the info. I'm going to keep looking for the trade in program thread, or better yet I'll shoot you an email and reference this thread to ask about trading my DD-1 in for the + Thanks for clearing that up!

Still in for answers about gain overlap..... Anyone? And trade in program.

Oh hell yeah!! Seeing a flicker of light at the end of the tunnel

I agree that If I were to drop the 250 or whatever it is on an SMD tool, it could be better spent. I really just want to learn the difference between the gain overlap feature on the + model and using the various tracks i.e. 0db, -10db etc.

I said it would be against my better judgement. Just trying to learn something, but I really appreciate the life advice, not sure what I would have done without your .02

I have a DD-, I like it, and although I have only used it once to tune my system and have had it over a year I don't regret purchasing it. I am intrigued by the DD-1+ but am on the fence about making the purchase... $250. I asked about a trade in program when they first came out but I don't think there is one. Yeah I could sell my DD-1 but it's signed by Meade and I really don't want to try to sell it. I am not one of the lucky ones that can just drop hundreds of dollars on a new gadget whenever they want to. If I was in that position i would own all of the SMD tools and meters. I could buy it on credit but I am unemployed right now and that would be against my better judgement, although I could probably be convinced I watched Steve's YouTube video about the DD-1+, searched the forum for topics, and even downloaded the owners manual and am still left with questions about exactly how gain overlap compares to using the various DD-1 tracks. Say for example you have a DD-1+ and you set the gain overlap to 10db, how does that differ from just having the DD-1 and using the -10db track? Also, how do you know what type of overlap to use when you have fully variable adjustment from 0-15db? Thanks to any and all with input.

When I read the title I was thinking... What ride is Chicken putting zebra in That's a neat twist, I'm with you on saying that isn't something I'd put in my ride even IF I could afford it, but it's always fun to see something different

Email Tony and see what he has to say.

Do you mean like this? Are those logos just stickers? They look a little different than the other parts.

Nice!! I can see that the young man is well coached. Putting up those vids a' la SMD style with an AMD twist to them Was that shot with a phone or an actual camera? The quality looks really good.

Damn Steve got a whole bunch of hate thrown his way in the comments. People are fuckin stupid.

If he had some serious beat in there I'm sure he would have and probably more than 1 layer too. He said he just wanted less rattle on the trails, which I'm sure will be mission accomplished.

I had the same problems when using ie. I couldn't quote posts either. Switched to chrome, no problems after that.

He says why right in the video.

SO I called XSPower again based off of the recommendation I got. Talked to a different person this time. The difference was night and day. The original person I spoke to wasn't rude at all but didn't seem to want to find a way to help either. I would say it was your average level of customer service you could expect to get just about anywhere. Second time I called, the person I spoke to gave me his email address, asked me to send him some pictures and I did. He didn't end up offering to warranty the battery BUT he was very helpful and came up with a more than fair solution. The only problem is that as generous as his offer is, I can't afford it at the moment due to being laid off so I am still in the same boat. I appreciate the help and input I got from everyone though.
