Hey flakko, I was wondering if you can get ahold of something that would make my amps look like one big amp sitting side by side. Kind of like the older RF amps, just an endcap that connects 2 amps and makes it look like the amp continues on. It is for the IS series BTW. I think it would look sweet if I could do that. Let me know man, Alex

Wow, thats just crazy. You saw how close he came to that pole by the guy filming? Nice vid.

I have quite a list going once school lets out. Here is the basic stuff: Audio Re-do my kicks to house my 6.5" midbass Relocate my 4" in the a-pillar firing across the windshield Build an amp rack to fit on the back section of my car behind the t-top holders Find somewhere to place the 8s where they sound good and don't take up space/interfere w/ the t-top holders Rewire my car Install my DQX in the glovebox Car-wise Give the car a nice detail Do the headlight mod I have been waiting to do Get the back bumper repainted Paint my calipers Change the brakes out Get a performance alignment Maybe even get a set of cheap tires for my old wheels to do some autocrossing with. My car should look and sound very nice when its done. I plan on taking pictures of the build up too.

I'm guessing if you have >1k posts you get to be orange?

Check out today's Woot. Enjoy

Update: I broke down and bought a lot of fluorescent bulbs off of ebay. They last 10,000 hours and only use 13 watts. I also got my energy bill for last month. Turns out I used 1495 kWh and it set me back $190. This equates to ~$.13/kWh. This fuel adjustment is absolutely killing me. If I was paying what you pay Jmac, I would be saving over $115. This is just plain ridiculous.

Probably sylvanias. I don't regularly encounter fog so I can't help you there.

I just got an email from my webhost godaddy.com and they said that I have been upgraded for free to this:

I have decided upon my halloween costume. It will be pretty cheap since my dad has access to a bunch of doctor stuff. I am stealing this from Mitch Hedburg, RIP. Here goes, I'm going to be Dr. Acula and I will be wearing either some scrubs or a lab coat and I will have a stethescope and other Dr. paraphenalia but I am gonna have some vampire teeth. Simple, yet effective.

Well I just spent a whole lot of money. Yesterday I bought my Audiocontrol DQX and today I bought my amps. It will be sweet when its all in though.

My soon to arrive Audiocontrol DQX, 30 band eq per side + 3 way crossover all in one.

I don't like the current flash stuff. I don't like waiting for this big fancy intro of the amps, I just want the stats right away. Maybe put some pictures up of each amp with its cover off. That would be neat. I like the ideas that you posted though.

big game weekend. Gonna be drinkin for the next 36 hours or so. Soccer game tonight and LSU vs. Florida tomorrow. Go Tigers! So in a few hours I will be , then I will be like , hopefully I will see some and then I will be like . And Florida can ,

I looked into those and they are kind of expensive, plus they don't last as long and they still don't save nearly as much as led's would.

It was seasoned well too. Anyone want a chicken strip? $.50 shipped.

It tasted good, but I didnt finish all of it,

I also found a DQX for $310 shipped, so I think I will buy that tomorrow.

The hungry man microwave dinners were on sale, so I picked 2 of them up. They say 1 lb of meat so I figured that was pretty good. I looked at the stuff on the back just now and it has 53 grams of fat (81% daily value) and 900+ calories. I put it in the oven so it will come out better, but I will see how this turns out in about 30 minutes.

I edited it because I forgot about an important aspect, lifespan.

Top for me

After receiving last month's energy bill ($200 for a 2 BR/2 Bath/Kitchen/Living Room Condo), I have been considering different ways to save money on my energy bill. I have turned the air conditioner on a higher temperature, and I have also tried to keep my lights off. I was messing with my new LED flashlight that I got off of ebay the other day, and I realized that it doesn't hardly use any power compared to other bulb flashlights I have owned. In fact, running 12 LED's off of 1 AA battery for 12 hours straight only slightly dimmed the light output, and after it was turned off for 30 minutes or so, the same brightness returned. Comparably to a regular flashlight running off of 2-3 D batteries, once you use it for about 3-4 hours straight, you have to spend more money on new batteries. Relate this into the home lighting situation and most 20-30 led bulbs use only 2-3 watts. A standard incandescent bulb uses 60 watts. 2 watts/hour x 8 hours/day x 365 days/ year equates to 5.84 kilowatt hour's per year. Now say your electricity company charges $.83/kilowatt hour. That would mean you would spend ~$4.85/year on energy for that one fixture. Now let's compare that to the regular incandescent fixture: 60 watts/hour x 8 hours/ day x 365 days/year equates to 175.2 kilowatt/ hours per year. At the same rate this would cost ~$145.42/ year to run this fixture. This is a savings of over $140/year per fixture! Comparably to one of those flourescent light bulbs that uses 15 watts, to run for one year would still cost $35.92/year. This is still a savings of $30/year per fixture. Now all of these figures are assuming that you are running a light fixture for 8 hours a day every day. Many of you do not do this, but the money saving potential is there. Another advantage is heat output. I noticed that even after 12 hours of sitting upside down on my desk, the heat output was hardly noticible. I found a statistic on another website that says an LED lightbulb (I believe one with 20-30 led's) puts out 3.4 BTU's/hour, compared to an incandescent bulb at 84 BTU's/hour. This will also save your energy bill because your a/c won't have to run to compensate for the extra heat put off by those incandescent bulbs. Now one of the best kickers: Lifespan. LED's are known for their 100,000 hour lifespan. Compared to incandescent light bulbs at 1,000 hours, they will last over 10 years easily. Mini flourescent bulbs are rated at 10,000 hours. Everyone also knows that nowadays, you can get tons of LED's for cheap from Asia. Now, these led bulbs have to have some disadvantages: 1. Most led bulbs right now range from $10-40/piece. I haven't found the best supplier of LED bulbs yet, so I am not sure exactly how much it would cost to replace all of your bulbs with LED's. 2. Different colored lighting. The white light from led bulbs may be too much of a change for some people, but the colors range from a cool white to a warm white. 3. No dimming. You won't be able to use your dimmer switch with led bulbs unless somebody invents a smart bulb that turns off some of the led's when the dimmer switch is used. As far as I know, nobody has made anything like this yet. Now, seeing as how most of us are hobbyists on this board, the cost aspect of led's could be reduced drastically. Right now, you can buy 1000 bright white led's for around $100 on ebay which would make 33 bulbs at 30 leds/piece. You might be able to modify old lightbulbs to accomidate for the new led's. All you would need is some small circuit board and resistors. Now, some of my figures may be slightly off and I did make a few assumptions, but the money saving possibility is there. The only thing to overcome is the initial investment. Let me know your thoughts on the issue and give me some feedback, because I am planning on doing this for my condo.

I believe the folder is hidden.

You need a different program. I remember reading that a program called ephpod could do it, but I am not sure what the best one to do this is.

Beer + ATHF = a pretty good night, compared to what I've been doing lately. I had a bunch of tests yesterday and a paper due today, plus all of this crap with the hurricaines have been killing my weekends, so its been school, work on the weekends, school, more work, blah. I think this weekend will be a big relief (LSU vs. Florida game).
