  1. finally stopped spitting up blood, so that was like 4 hours of bleeding lol
  2. Corn nuts + root canal = tooth death
  3. tooth pulled, i hate swallowing so much blood
  4. Kansas = pure wind 24/7 I'm still on Team SSA..
  5. Relay + fans = best option. If you have a Micro Center near you, I picked up some fans for about 3-5 bucks 120mm fans. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0367980 or http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0325743 and http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3020762&filterName=Category
  6. Lead is going to be the heaviest material in there ^>^ If you're looking for batteries look into a local place that sells Deka's or even go to sears and get some of their batteries.
  7. Dense heavy lead + shipping = expensive.
  8. Yes, I see. Is there something you could direct me to when it comes to the design of crossovers in car audio? As you had stated to learn what changes what and why? I would seriously appreciate it, although I do have a fantastic deal on an MS8 which would be hard to give up.

  10. Anything my grandma fried she brined. my mom made fried chicken, didn't taste the same evidently she would first brine for a few hours then let sit in buttermilk overnight. mmm...
  11. I've always liked longer brine times.
  12. good fucking day, 92.9 on my PT SrA today! Congrats man!!!! SrA is what E-3? J Senior Airman is E-4! Not considered an NCO though, still in the airman tier. If I was in any other branch I'd be an NCO. We have all the responsibilities of an NCO without anything extra lol. Couldn't remember for sure. Congrats none the less. And in the Army 9.75/10 times it makes you a Specialist is not an NCO and a Corporal (the NCO E-4) while technically an NCO is still usually treated like lower enlisted. J Yeah I know in the navy you're treated as an NCO

  14. Frying is indeed a an art. But it all boils down (Pun not intended) to really one thing IMO -Heat control You keep the heat up and account for thermal drop when you throw something in the oil and everything you make will come out fairly non-greasy. Trying to find a video of Alton brown's analogy of efficient frying and thermal drop
  15. Personally I like fried turkey. IMO Fried > Baked. Oil adds to the texture making the bird much more "moist" on the pallet. I know Sean (from previous years) does not agree. lol
  16. Yes. I take that back. I think I may have paid $8/each for my current RCA's, which for three would be $24, so just a hair more than those connectors. But my RCA's before these were $5 each I believe. RCA cables are not going to make an audible difference unless they are damaged. For the cost and quality, what is there to be unhappy about? Did you build your own amplifier? Your own speakers? Your own subwoofer? Your own headunit? Then what is different about RCA's? They are one of the least expensive and least important "components" in an audio system. Much greater attention and resources (both time and money) can be and should be directed elsewhere in the system. Those people would be correct. Those people would be incorrect. "Sound" different? No. You can purchase shielded 2-conductor cable. You answered your own question. The difference between the coaxial and your current cable is shielding. You have an extremely low noise floor and presently have no noise without shielding. So, will shielding make a difference in sound? Not if you don't presently have any noise issues. With the exception that it could actually cause more noise if it's improperly shielded. And if you have some time to kill, search the old carsound forums for the arguments between Richard Clark and others about the relative differences between UTP and shielded. RC (and others) arguing for UTP. Honestly I wouldn't bother. It's cables, not magic. Unless one of them is damaged the only difference you hear will be based on psychoacoustics. Any reasonably decent cable will have low enough RLC properties as to not audibly affect the sound. And that's not to say I'm against people testing or experimenting with equipment. Objective tests are great...meaningful and helpful. Subjective tests are iffy, especially a comparison that's not properly conducted. Psychoacoustics can run rampant and often times those types of tests can do more damage than good as people think they "learned" something that didn't actually happen because the test wasn't properly conducted. http://consumerist.com/2008/03/do-coat-hangers-sound-as-good-monster-cables.html Saw a similar setup with a quite pricey RCA upwards of a thousand dollars.
  17. O/T what do/did you do for the AF? I'm a crew chief on kc-135's

  20. That is a different Ultra. Ultra Linear I believe is another Pyramid-esque brand. http://www.carreview.com/cat/car-audio/amplifiers/ultralinear/ul1500x/prd_345269_1806crx.aspx
  21. No real reason to.. unless your looking for a specific look.
  22. AGHHHHHHH! best fucking day bump!
  23. good fucking day, 92.9 on my PT SrA today!
