  2. Thanks for the update, I will make another protein order shortly, and maybe some ketones and chromium if they have it.
  3. That is great to hear. How do you like the sound (not output just sound) compared to the Xcon's?
  4. I hear you. What you need to do, if you want to do something like this again, is offer it to only supporters, previous customers, or those on your newsletter list. Provide them with a link, give them a time, offer a set amount of product, and once gone, it's gone. Pretty easy, and it keeps the loyalty, not just assholes looking for a deal. That is essentially what we did, outside of the audience.
  5. But Aaron I want a Zcon for $50...jk. I can just imagine all the complaining going on. Thanks for all that you do! Thanks, not really worried about a pat on the back for the efforts, just ranting a little. It is funny, because by this point you would think I would not be surprised, but I still am.
  6. Pretty sweet inverted.
  7. That's it, we are not having another Outrageous Deal for a while, if ever. The begging on (mostly other sites) just does not stop long after they have been over. I have had it. Absolutely disgusting. /Monday rant.
  8. It wasn't blue waffle was it?
  9. What did I miss?
  10. I vote to hold off on any lifting exercise that incorporates anything below the waist until you know for sure what is going on.
  11. Yikes, is the passenger side Zcon trying to rip itself from the baffle?
  12. Thermal and sound isolation.
  13. Posted an update to the SDS Mazda build log.
  14. Yesterday afternoon, we came back to this build. Don took some quick photo's / short video, that I hope he has some time to post up later. We 'deadened' the roof with only 12 CLD tiles, and added one layer of Thinsulate between the head liner and the CLD. It was a little tricky getting the single piece headliner out, and I broke one seat belt mounting cover, but over all, it went much smoother then I expected. The major obstacle that we ran into was the stock recycled foam that was adhered to the underside of the roof with liberal amounts of adhesive. Luckily Don had some mineral spirits and a few plastic blades, and with some determination we were able to get 95% of it off. Overall, as I said to Don, it is tricky to focus on something that is not there anymore, as in the noise that has either been dampened or isolated out. This project was a decent amount of work to treat the whole car, and quite a learning process along the way, but wow it was worth it. I really got to know my little car quite well and there were lots of little things that made me like it even more. From the best I can remember, the difference between the work we did on this little economy go-cart compared to the stock dampening on my old 2-door Panzer, the sound isolation is VERY close and dampening is equal. That is really surprising when it comes to the rolling vault I used to drive. Now, if you sit in the car, engine off, and shut the door, the thud is very solid and reassuring along with once you are sitting still, you can hear the friction of the air as you breathe. That is how well the isolation is now from the outside. The Thinsulate was much easier to work with then I had imagined, and it compressed very nicely into the space provided, with the headliner fitting back up pretty nicely (outside of me steering the rear a tiny bit off). Not to mention, the cabin warmed up quite quickly today compared to normal. What is quite surprising, is that there is no visual clue to all the work done to the car, outside of a tiny bit of CLD tile I need to trim from under the rear hatch cover that is peaking out. Quite remarkable really when you think about how much material was added and how much of the car was effected. CLD/CCF/MLV over the entire floor, firewall, doors and hatch, with CLD and Thinsulate on the roof, leaving only the front quarter panels and the hood untouched. Total collective weight is not much considering the amount of surface covered and treated. I owe a massive thank you to Don of Sound Deadener Showdown for his time and assistance in this build, I really learned a great deal, and I feel I have a much better grasp on the basic functions and ideals behind the madness. Yes, I know I had an advantage of being able to scoot right over to the source, but there are not many other audio people in my area. So I can speak first hand on this system/method that SDS provides, as I know from actual experience that we transformed a thinly skinned, very light weight car, into matching (and in some spots surpassing) the dampening/deadening/isolation performance of a very solid, heavy gauge steel German luxury 2-door. This is with out a doubt, the quietest Mazda P5 in existence.
  15. Nice work. I would love to access to all that CPU power you have.
  16. David Guetta and Sebastian Ingrosso How soon is now
  17. Really? Wow.
  18. UCP posted this on his FB, thought it was worth sharing on here:
  19. Time to drink ! Cheers
  20. You could always run it at 8 ohms mono if you liked that amp and did not want to stress the driver. But if you have some other options that fit the wiring and power level of the Dcon then see what he has.
  21. Told ya so.... LOL ( Your sub recommendation page, posts #4 and #8 ) Glad to hear you're enjoying it!! I'm sure you agree the word needs to be spread about these subs. So many people overlook them just because they're on the lower end of the scale of power handling. Not only do they get louder than one would expect, but they sound absolutely amazing. Definitely one of the best subs that can be picked up for their price IMHO. My sister's 12" DCON just blows away everyone who listens to it. I agree with the others 450wrms will be plenty for it like Aaron said, there's just no need to run double rms to it for a daily setup. Now, just wait until it gets a little more broken in. It will play a little deeper, a little louder yet, and sound just as amazing. Wow, we should hire you to do promotions. To me, the high performance per dollar and still made here in the USA is sweet!
  22. No real advantage to throw double rms on it for a daily install.
  23. I have been out bid on every 4050 and 4080 I have tried to get.
