quote How do these people survive? ONE Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true...) TWO I was checking out at the local Walmart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed.. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider,' looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.' She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. THREE A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy' (keep shuddering!!) FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?' 'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked. 'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....' PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself!!! FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier,' the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies. Brunette, by the way!! SIX A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer........' Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!' Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!

And get this! They are FREE! Geeze, I wonder where I could find one? lol.

It looks like your still young enough too. I have a 13 year old daughter and nieces that are over 18, SO I look at them completely different.

Do you have any speakers installed now? something to compare to?

The man has a way with words, and when he speaks I get out my note book and pencil because SCHOOL IS IN.

Time for some education Zaph|Audio Know how to read FR graphs? you beat me to it.

she was SUPER funny on all the game shows she was on back in the day.

Good to see ppl agreeing,lol. Anyways I voted everybody up +1 for helping in this topic. (execpt myself).

I am not recommending that the OP spend 5-600 bucks on an HO, BUT do think anyone contemplating adding a second battery should also concider a HO alternator as a better solution for a Daily Driver.

To answer the OPs question, No a HO alternator will not charge at any different voltage than your factory one unless its regulated to do so.

maybe only 13?

An HO alternator supplys the current continuously NOT instantaneously. SO NOTHING is straining, not the battery, not the amplifier, not the HO alternator. A larger or dual battery is only helpful for a short instataneously burst and then is useless until charged again. THIS IS the "claim to fame" of the AGM gel batterys is they recover quick. What is going to make them recover quick????? one of two things either you will turn down the volume until your factory alternator recharges them OR YOU INSTALL a HO alternator and DON'T have to turn the volume down to recover, you just keep enjoying your music.

I'm still rockin' my NES. Its a whole different world than the wii.

DUI? no duey, thank GOD. Just possession and paraphernalia. I got the second one dropped and the judge gave me double fines since it was my second time for the weed.

Taking the Xterra in for its big 80,000 maintance interval. They closed the local dealer SO i have to drive 70 miles to the nearest on.

I survived court yesterday, and got out of there with just paying a TON of money, atleast now its taken care of.

Hey damnit, pretend I am stupid. What do I buy? Yes, I want spoonfeeding I'll ask questions as I use it. Thanks for the tips and "spoonfeeding", I appreciate the advice also. BTW I voted you up for the help. (maybe M5 will too, for the spoonfeeding)

Interesting...

a HO alt won't charge at any different voltage than a factory one, reason being, the voltage reg built into the alt controlls volts. The purpose of the HO is to maintain the same voltage with or without a LARGE AMP draw. The two alternaters will do the same job until you demand more AMPS than the factory on can produce, THEN this is where the HO will keep a constant 14.4, and the factory one will NOT be able to keep a constant voltage. I personally would recommend a HO alt over a second battery for a daily driver. What to expect from an HO alt, WHEN you crank the volume up, the amps "maintain" authority, and will not start to fade. I personally like DC Power Alternators, and feel YOU get what you pay for.

GOOD CALL. I saved the fiberglass I had bought for my enclosure and built my speaker pods with it. Best of luck.

ALL VERY GOOD replys in here. Like the "old redneck" use to tell me, "grease and oil is cheap, parts ain't".

no gain in strenght, And as far as audible differences, I personally think that fiberglass resonates at a higher freq than MDF.

I am definetly interested in hearing what ppl "think" about em'.

The way that fiberglass weakens MDF is , The fiberglass resin soaks into the top 1/8 inch of MDF and that 1/8 is brittle while the rest of the MDF is still soft. NOW what occurs next is the MDF no longer has ANY give between ITS OWN layers and WILL start to seperate. MDF by its self is NOT brittle, Fiberglass in thin layers is VERY BRITTLE, The two materials have different attributes. Both have a use in this world, BUT you will gain absolutely NOTHING from using the fiberglass in an enclosure. The correct way to make an enclosure SOLID is to use internal bracing. AS stated before, you should read my summary at the end of my "rambling" thread.

Thank you my Man. Plus I went to court on my possession ticket today and gave them enough money get them to go away.
