Snap on tools are pricey, we have a truck come by and I see something and want it.. then see the price and I'm like fo-get-it. I mainly buy Chraftsman tools just because of the great warranty.. and especially if your snap on truck driver knows you break stuff a lot and decided to stop coming around, lol. I have several craftsman tools, but honestly they are the ones that get used the least. I bought several over 20 years ago when they were still decent, but most have broken and been replaced by their newer shit that does not hold up. I have a set of standard wrenches (from ~9/32 to 1 1/2) that are decent, but the most common wrenches (5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16, 3/4, 13/16) have all been replaced by MAC wrenches. All my Crapsman ratchets are no longer. The vast majority of my tools are MAC, and I have about ~$130-150 grand worth of hand/specialty tools (excluding electrical, diagnostic, and scan tools). Honestly their ratchets break gears all the time. I have recently bought ~$750 worth of Snap-On ratchets over the past few months and I find they are much nicer. 80 teeth as opposed to 72 teeth, and they are really holding up under a lot of abuse. I put big cheater pipes on my stuff, and over the past 3 months I have had then they are really dealing with my abuse. I have snapped handles with the way I treat my ratchets, but these Snappys are nice. But the MAC flank drive wrenches I have are ~15 years old. I have never broken one, but I have lost a few. I got the extra length wrenches, which they do not offer any more, and with 15 years of hard use they have lasted. All my wrenches are MAC (aside from my standard stuff) and I have about $1500 in wrenches, most of my screw drivers, all my pliers (again, over $1500 in pliers), almost all of my sockets (easily $7500 worth), my digital torque/angle wrenches and so many more hand tools are all MAC. Although my clicker torque wrenches all Matco (older stuff, before they artificially inflated their prices). For home use Craftsman is OK. But for those of us who make a living from our tools and demand durability, there is no comparison between most Craftsman and professional level tools like MAC, or Snappy. Matco is overpriced now a days, and Cornwell... do they exist any more? I've done jackMy new Dark Night router is the fucking shit. We have a hodge podge of tools. (I work on air crafts) of snapon, bluepoint, Craftsman, and matco and honestly I think ive seen more broken snap on ratchets than anything, just terrible. The CM ratchets arent that great but I do like, the rarcheting wrenches. Its more of a preference any tool will break. But I think snapons warranty is like.. 2 years? I cant remember. If I break a ratchet once a year thats fine doesnt bother me as long as I can return it no questions asked lol

Larger = increased efficiency at tuning bigger boxes are typically more efficient, but you can run into softpart limitations

is there any concern with battery damage from heat? Well there is an issue with that, I've seen a few ipad installs most tablets will not turn on until they are cooled off from the heat of the car baking in the sun. Not sure if the Minnesota summers are that hot, but it could be an issue. Ipads are pieces of shitmy Galaxy tab 10.1 did the same thing when left in the car.

I've seen people cut holes in vents behind the dash to route some air behind it so whenever they remote start their car the AC will cool it down so it can turn on.

That is probably the easiest dash removal of a high end car, most are ridiculously difficult.

Agreed, I have some Snapon crimpers but that's about it. I really like the Craftsman hand tools/boxes but thats about it.

yeah I used the spring clips but the 3/8" sockets I have are far too heavy to stay secured. That's cause the metal spring clips really, really, suck. I'll take loose over those. For deep toolbox drawers, the Hansen trays work well, the ones from Menards aren't to bad really, I don't use them much but I like them. Yeah I use the ones from Harbor freight, they aren't bad just not able to throw them in my tool bag and go.

I need to make something to hold all of my freaking sockets.. I thought about using some MDF and dowel rods and then a board on top to sandwhich them together.. dunno though.

Very cool, we have those at work and they make life a lot easier.

get it girrrll. But fasting/dieting only works so much because you'll end up gaining all the weight back if you don't make a pretty good diet change.. although keep up the good work mang.

the M12 14 and 400 all look extremely similar.

The hell is it? J Haha I couldn't name it either! I am also curious. Noble M400? could be a m14 can't really tell.

mainly cosmetic however in some cases lighter parts are better for all out SPL aka burps only

What phone are you running?I had CM 10 on my Galaxy S2,3 and Note 2 and I rather liked it, however there were some downsides. On some phones it'll make the audio quite quiet which is rather annoying, some GPS will be quite slow. There is a lot you can do with CM10.. The battery life in my experience on multiple phones is rather lack luster IMO. With the standard power saving mode on my Note 2 stock I can easily obtain over a day of battery life. Honestly I would stick with a stock modified ROM (many come with alternative Kernels) and you'll be much happier. I'm currently running Jedi on mine and I absolutely love it, you get all of the stock features with no bloat and many many mods. Nexus 7 Tablet, not a phone. My "carpc/headunit" and I need to root it. Think the kernel update will work with either stock or CM 10.1 Honestly Imo you may have to have a custom recovery which means youll need to be rooted. But honestly I would go with a debloated sped up stock rom with a custom kernel... I didnt gain anything by having my phones or tablets on, cm10 besides visual customization What do you mean by visual customization?With something like CM10.1 you get the look and feel of Android 4.1 with a different skin, you're able to adjust a lot of things how the phone operates in terms of the look of it. More or less its just a themed version of each distribution. CM for most people will give you no bloatware, better battery life, and a more stock android feel.. but honestly when I've used it I've ran into more problems than it was worth. On all of my devices sound through the headphone jacks & speakers was nearly cut in half (including calls), the GPS had numerous issues, battery life was lack luster, and in some cases was just slower. But don't let that discourage you, the great thing about custom roms it's easy to do and you can always revert back to stock android pretty easily. But with CM10 I've just not had great luck in general, I really do prefer the stock roms that have been tinkered with to get rid of all the bloatware with a few themed UI's. AOSP is what CM10 is themed after, so if you just google AOSP you'll get a pretty good idea.

I think I'd prefer used AIDs needles stabbed in my ear drums than listen to that.

Yeah, I was thinking either a sealed box or a LLT for the XCON 10, I don't have my PC with me or i'd try and mess around in WinSD and see where that got me.. For the xcon I'm thinking one of the big plate amps from Dayton, and maybe either just a plain 2 channel amplifier or receiver.. not really sure where I should go. If movies are on the bill, you want a multi channel. For music, stereo is perfect. Although I prefer true stereo, and in my system I do not run my subs for music... of course my mains are flat in room to ~33Hz... I'll need to look at F3 on the design you are looking at. For $100? I think it is a pretty solid design and at one hell of a nice budget setup. Sure, they aren't Seas with Planers, but they aren't supposed to be. The TL design should work very well with the selected drivers. Ideally I would add a notch with the in room bump at 2K, but I understand the simplicity of the design. I tried to clarify. To me putting in the effort for the build "requires" that I get to spend more. If that is truly the budget then by all means I get what you're saying, I'd rather spend the money over time and get something awesome than rush and get something. But my budget isn't the highest at the moment, but I'm willing to buy as I need to.

There is always a concern about bricking when you root. This is really where you want to go to learn about and phone modifications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ As long as you don't mess with the Recovery during the root it's pretty rare. I know on Samsung devices they support Host OTG so if you do brick it you can attach a usb thumb drive to the phone and re flash the stock firmware unbricking it which I have had to do, lol.

Well I would say you-re not going to be Satisfied with the output Of a Single 8"sub I Would Just Seal the 15" If you still hAve it. and call it a day And sell the SA8 for some exta Cash
