  1. I understand the thinking behind it ... although, I'm not sure what kind of music those guys listen to or if they actually listen to it full tilt. I know that a lot of music today contains information well in excess of -7 dB and often that information is clipped from the disc, too. I'd be very weary setting my gains with a -10 dB tone and listening to today's music at the volume you used to set your gains. The only reason why I used 0 dB in the gain setting tutorial I put up is so people don't blow their equipment, not necessarily to get the most out of their equipment. I'm making a new gain setting tutorial and providing tones in 0 dB, -3 dB, and possibly -6 dB, but I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending -10 dB, especially to n00bs. I personally use -6 dB for subs and set the speaker gains by ear.

    I slept through/skipped most of calculus and still got a B ... So boring and tedious ... I wish I would've shown up for the first day ... that way I would've known that attendance counted for 20%

    Car shopping rocks ... How could test driving several cars a day for several weeks be depressing ?

    If I had $5,000 to spare, I probably wouldn't put it towards audio equipment and especially not towards car audio equipment ...
  6. If 4 ohms per coil, 14 gauge is fine. If 2 ohms per coil, I would upgrade to 12 gauge.

    Someone explain this to me ... I have a wireless keyboard and the batteries that came with it (Duracell) lasted over a year and a half. I replaced them with No Name Brand AAs and, obviously, they're complete chit (I got them from my parents). Anyways, I just went to replace the batteries for the 3rd time in 3 months, and I took my multimeter to them. The batteries are wired in series. 1 battery was at 1.38 volts while the other battery was at 0.5 volts. I was confused, so I tested several other batteries (which all tested 1.6 volts) and tested it again and it came up as 0.5 volts every time. I put the old batteries on the table and, when I went to throw out the one that was 0.5 volts almost 2 hours later, I tested them again to make sure I was throwing out the right battery. Anyways, when I tested it, the battery that was 0.5 volts is now up to 1.02 volts ... It hasnt' been charging or anything, just sitting on the table ... How did it charge itself ?

    Just tried Newsleecher tonight ... Holy chit is it fast ... Keep in mind that this is on a 5 Mbps connection (640 KB/s) AND I'm downloading with Azureus at the same time ... If you download with newsgroups, I highly recommend you try it out ...

    Would you actually get pulled over for doing the speed limit there, though ? I know you won't here, which is exactly why people continue to go the speed limit. People don't worry about crashing; they worry about getting tickets.
  25. Jmac replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    The probable reason for that is because morons continue to go the speed limit even in adverse conditions. I've always been a proponent of different speed limits for different conditions ... i.e. Highway ... 120 km/h (75 mph) in dry weather 80 km/h (50 mph) in wet weather 40 km/h (25 mph) in snowy/icy weather Rural ... 75 km/h (45 mph) in dry weather 50 km/h (30 mph) in wet weather 25 km/h (15 mph) in snowy/icy weather City ... 60 km/h (35 mph) in dry weather 40 km/h (25 mph) in wet weather 20 km/h (15 mph) in snowy/icy weather
