Look at that, someone decided to use that lump of grey matter between their ears.
x2. Not sure why people would want to wire to .5 if they aren't 1-a damn guru 2-willing to take the risk of losing potentially thousands of dollars (depends on amp and all that) and 3-if their setup is already loud for them. Me for example, I'd never want .5 ohms no matter the electrical or whatnot cause my system? Does me proud. Sure, may not be 150db but as someone said somewhere on here recently... if it's good for you, great. So although I'm not putting up those magical numbers like everyone, I also don't care since I like mine. So stupid to even try .5 if you're happy with your setup and such.
I can understand trying it for like a ride around the block just to see though, but hooking it up for good? Get outta here...

thats a good way to keep my sanity ^^^ haha
I normally direct download between 13-18mb/s.... I just tried to download VLC and was downloading at 3.8kb/s my laptop is running fine as im using it at the moment to try figure this shit out and its on the same router
sometimes... rarelly but sometimes... sites go slow. I can download movies from putlocker at 1mb/s and at other times we're in the 120kb/s range. Download movies (roughly all the same size) in 10 minutes to 4 hours. (btw, good site to get movies from. just need the actual link of each movie since they don't have directory there)
-
I would suggest, if this seems slow, at the same time try google or something. If google is fast, it's the site. If google is slow, then it's your provider or equipment (router or whatnot)
-
Any good wireless cards you can suggest? hah might start looking for a new one even though this one was working fine for months but has slowed down dramatically over the last month
linksys >> dlink>> netgear
802.11N is the faster mainstream speed widely available currently still iirc.
But if your wireless router is older, even with a faster 802.11N wireless network card, you will only receive the speed and range of whatever your router is.
Since most network cards are backwards compatible with the older router speeds, but useless to buy the newer faster tech if your router isnt going to support those said speeds. So maybe worth something to look into also.
True, but considering he did say it was fine for months and then has slowed... makes me think it's not the router. I've never heard of a router slow down. If it does 15mb/s down, always has done 15mb/s. It's the receiving end that usually screws up. But fact he did say that loses connection, maybe it is the router and it's connecting/disconnecting. Had that with mine the other day. Wired would work, wireless was a no-go. Unplugged, plugged back in, everything works now. And I somehow think he's tried that haha.
-
You gotta think, is it just this site or is it the entire internet? If sometimes searching on google is slow, obviously it's the entire internet, which would then be your provider. But if this is fast for a few mins, then slow for a few mins... and the rest of the internet is fast? Nothing wrong with your provider. It's the site. So that's the only thing I was trying to bring up... that at times this site does basically crash for a minute or two, then acts like normal.
-
Netgear is pretty good. As far as which one? No clue. My laptop came with built in wifi, and I have my desktop wired. No wireless for it, which has been a pain at times, but eh. I'd honestly go to a computer store (not Bob's computer shack, a place like microcenter) and they'll hook you up. If you don't wanna do that route, you could just go wherever electronics are sold and look at speeds. Obviously the more pricier, the better they perform...SUPPOSEDLY.
Edit: Ok so your in NZ, so not sure what they have for computer stores but a place that's big named and such. Not just a local podunk place
-
Probably your wireless card cause I use 2 different computers and 2 different internets. I use my laptop both at home and work (the 2 different internets) and then sometimes use my desktop and laptop (have had SMD up on both at once a few times haha) and it's normally decently fast. I mean the whole page won't load in like .00002 sec, but 1-2 seconds. There are times where it literally takes like 2 minutes.
-
There are times where it's...beyond slow. Takes like 2 minutes to load a page. But then it speeds up and acts normal. I'm normally on during off-peak hours (12 am-530 am eastern time) so find that a little weird, but it's nothing really. Not something I'd complain about repeatedly.
-
And this is why I'm saddened that Mech does not make or offer any help for my alternator needs. So helpful and knowledgeable. I did contact and was told and I quote... "Oh bummer. We don't have anything for that car." ;( Sad day when that email was received.
-
I wouldn't want to put it where water could get to it. Think it's main purpose is to be hidden and in a sense, weather protected. Deal with the heat and cold and such but not tsunamis and all. So if I'm even understanding "gums" rather than "guns"... lmfao, I would just keep it under panels and/or liners as it's pretty much intended.
-
I'm not sure what you mean by "outside the guns on hood". Rollin with a few AK's strapped on the hood or something? But I believe Jon said that as long as the paper backing is still there and stuck to it, and the material itself is a little pudgy/sticky, should be good to go.
-
You told me to F off!!! Lol just kidding. But no, that's what I think gives this forum a one up over every other forum. Everyone treats everyone maybe not as close family but at least distant family. If I'm having problems, I can ask and no matter how much a noob question it may be, I get help. So although a bit of a threadjack as never done business with you, all the comments people say, I would buy things from ya.
But I wanna know, where's my cpt morg? Can't do a shot without me! It's just unethical! haha.

That's how I was. I was fine with the little rattles I had (not due to a wiper but just my trunk rattling). Then my tail light broke. That was enough. Got some second skin, asked for advice, did what I could. Obviously nothing like a pro but... wouldn't say bad for a first timer. Lol. And now, I truly think my tail light is nearly unbreakable. Take a hell of a lot more than what I have to break it.
-
Yeah, that's what I'd do. If you aren't rattling except your wiper, don't need any. It can also help with sound quality, as it does help keep outside noise out and inside noise in, but it does seem like your fine with how that is right now.
-
Alright. End of that speculation and threadjack. Thanks for educating me haha.
-
Just a small threadjack, it doesn't matter how you have the batts? Say you have a small one under the hood, you can have a gigantic one in the back without harming anything or whatnot?
-
Basically. But I've always heard (never been confirmed, just speculation, to me at least) to put the bigger one in front. If your car only requires a small one, don't put the biggest one XS makes in the trunk. Switch em. Never really been told that's wrong, but never been told that is what to do.
-
Even your table works out? Damn Will! Guess it gotta have muscle to support both of those little monsters. Can't wait for the pics of install and vids of them playing
-
Damn man, sorry to hear about everything... your ma, gettin jipped on all that, etc.
-
I also wanna throw in the fact that I believe it'd be the same for anyone, that if we were having problems and went to a shop, we would associate more with them. If I installed my own stuff and something just wasn't right and I went to a local shop around here, they fixed it, I would still try to do things myself but would ask them about things, maybe purchase stuff from them, etc.
I definitely would appreciate the fact that they took the time out of their schedule to not only fix it, but actually show me no matter how big or small the problem was. I think that's what put your service above your customer's expectations. You didn't just fix it, you showed and taught him things and without insulting him like "You are stupid! What a noob!". I mean how many of us have walked in somewhere and whether we know what we're talking about or not, seem to be told that we're stupid? Never go back there again.
It's people like you OP that we need. I'm not sure you charged the guy or not, so if you didn't, you technically lost money but you kept a client happy which in turn will pay it's rewards with him more than likely buying more of your equipment and recommending your brand. Everyone wants money to fix things and never takes the time to show or explain. "That crap sucks" "Why?" "Does"
-
Think that shows that knowledge is the best along with having the right equipment. How the 2 shops couldn't figure it out, says pretty inexperienced (at least with that part of car audio) or just doesn't have the right tools. In any case, that's actually a great story. If only people were always like that.

ASUS FTW. DLINK FTL. my other DLINK sucks too (at the shop). Time to get a new one there too.
give it time. in a year we need to dig up this thread and see how well it is working still
but yes i agree Dlink ftl...
Lol. I've owned Asus routers for a bit and never had problems. Every so often (maybe once every 5 months or something) you have to reboot it and such but that's good. Better than Steve doing his dlink twice a day, if not more.
And I agree Steve. Yelling at others for taking up bandwidth when you pay for so much, sucks. "I GOT INTERCEPTED BECAUSE YOU WANTED ON FACEBOOK? ARE YOU SERIOUS? FOR THAT, YOU'RE GROUNDED!" Lmfao.

would also be cool to have like a RF sound van kinda deal, a demo monster than sounds good, gets loud, and is eye candy.
x2. Open up them doors, subs everywhere blastin. Things like that always make me think of pimp my ride. Always did unnecessary stuff like a dj turntable in the trunk and a "lab" in the front. Just put a monitor inside the car with a ps3, call it a day. But steve? Making a demo sound van? Oh god, might wanna re-inforce everything... building, walls of the van, pavement, everything. Van probably blow up during the demo, being 14 years old and all. I'd definitely love to see that.

station wagon? for 6 15's I was thinking at least a 'burb. Something like a Yukon or Denali... but of course, those aren't cheap. So cheap? I'd think just something with a lot of room. Definitely no smart car! Ha!

While it's cool and all, not putting that down at all, how the hell can airlines charge us for overweight baggage? I mean seriously, can carry a shuttle but has problem with baggage?
Anyways, definitely cool that you got to see it in person. Likin the pics.
