    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    You really NEED a laptop? And if you do, you really NEED it for gaming?Personally I feel if it isn't an Ultrabook, it is a waste of money. I don't really need one for anything. My day however is about 8 hours of down time, and I would like to do something in that inactive time. The more I fill my day, the more successful I am. Especially if it's things I enjoy, or things that enrich me. I'm not sure how to stay busy and entertained. Pay a little more and get probably one of the best gaming laptops for the price. I had the older generation with a gtx 665 and it literally could play anything. The heat comes out of the back so it doesn't melt your swimmers, and the keypad doesn't get too terribly toasty either. Asus 750JX-DB71 http://promos.asus.com/US/G750/ AND thunderbolt ftw

    T-nuts bother me when they fall off or when the sub cutout isn't much smaller that the mounting hole diameter. If you want to go deeper, how many times is a sub removed/installed? With all that in mind, I've used T-nuts on the RLi enclosure Drywall screws work great for most install's but heavier subs I prefer a T-nut. It sucks either way if the cutout is to big or screw holes are off center. my subs are 75lb and held up in a wall just fine with spax screws Yeah I use the huge spax wood to masonry screws.

    I just got back in and it hurts. Even though I was working out 5 days a week for a couple months, stopped for two weeks while I was sick and damn does it hurt.

    I'm no expert but I'm a huge advocate for the JeFit app on android/apple. Tons of great workout routines or you can make your own and track weight lifted, projected goals, etc. I love using it personally, a lot of people still like to use pen and paper. But for me it's just one more thing to carry around and remember, I always have my phone with me.

    In my stupidity I went to the friend with the CNC, we figured out the radius of the nexus, the angle and we cut based on the internet dimensions. 5mm off in the length. Sat till 1:30 AM to finish it, I was fucked the next day at work. Looks good, personally I would sand down the edges to give it a smooth transition to the screen. I like where you have the bass knobs too.

    Gaming PC Build

    Heres the parts list. Asus Sabertooth Z87 Mobo Intel 4770k Oc'ed to 4.3 Corsair H110 Dual 140 AIO cooler 8 Gigs of Corsair Vengance ram EVGA GTX 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB model 1 Samsung 128GB SSD for OS, Samsung Evo 240 for games, 2 TB WD green drive. Corsair K90 keyboard and M90 mouse Corsair MM600 aluminium mouse pad. LG w2600h 19200x1200 monitor All corsair AF fans 120-140's Corsair 860i with custom sleeved white cables Deadened all the loud stuff and the side panels with SecondSkin dampener (WD drive and Optical) Windows 8 Its a WD 2tb green drive which I used damplifier on it to quiet the thing down. Its literally silent now. On some benchmarks it can make a bit of a difference but since the 4770k's have a ton of computing non overclocked I tend not to. Plus how they are designed you wont gain huge overclocks from them, but you still get a shit ton of performance out of them.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Sell me your HTC Will do. I will send it out for a return first so you can have a fresh battery. T-mobile has a sim, right? Now to see if I can unlock it forever... Yeah tmo still uses Sims. Honestly tmo might unlock it for free or you can just get an unlock code for like 15$ off the net.

    No amd for me. My build has changed. It now has a 4770k, gtx 780 ti, Asus sabertooth mobo. I will never run amd personally, too much power, heat, and performance is no where near the Intel and nvidia counterparts.

    Only if you use Google voice for mms/sms. If it comes straight from T-Mobile it might be included in the Rom.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Yeah there are other work arounds utilizing google voice. PHONE for Google Voice & GTalk on the app store will allow you to retain it as long as you have a google voice number/account.

    Pull SIM out of HTC One put into Phablet.Enjoy. Even though tmobil uses some weird frequency and for a while had special radios installed?That was my main concern, loss of 4 G Depending on what phone you have you will either get 4g lte or hspa+. They both have their goods and bad. Lte has better penetration when it comes to bring in buildings and generally faster speeds, hspa+ (wimax) has weaker penetration but it can piece together multiple frequency ranges to still get signal. Instead of being limited to one signal like lte. The speed differences are pretty negligible. But depending on the coverage where you are either might be better. My nexus4 is hspa+ and it gets better signal than my note 2 ever did and it was lte.So.... I could have just been purchasing the phones without all the Fucking bloat ware this whole time??Yep I love my nexus 4. The nexus 4 & 5will run seamlessly on t mobile you just lose WiFi calling

    Taramps TS 400x4

    All the channels are being driven by the same head unit so not sure where the difference would be. The noise issue will never be removed. Every single head unit and amplifiers have given a certain degree of noise, but the key factor was being able to gain the noise out. Exactly what the gain is for. That doesn't account for the constant hissing sound regardless of gain position.

    Port location,Opinions needed

    I know in my first car they had to be firing into the rear or firing forward pushed all the way to the back for it to sound right/ be the loudest. Any other way sounded weird as if it wasn't loading correctly. A 4 bp may work like q said. Just depending on how much trunk space you're willing to give up I know theyre pretty small.

    Taramps TS 400x4

    I shouldnt be up right now.. but i'll see this later.. but what do you want me to say? In general regards to troubleshooting, isolate your noise issues first. If it's narrowed down to the amp, let me know and i will forward results to technical department for consultation. I will say that the low gain setting in your video is no excuse for "potentially" cutting corners "possibly" in engineering but at the same time, hardly any gain is not common used setting in install. Again, it's still no excuse but not common setting. In regards to that statement, i'm curious on results on higher gain setting. If results are not satisfactory, i would consider forwarding results, on your behalf, to tech department for review to determine cause and engineering perspective. If you are not satisfied, i am not satisfied. curious to see if you forwarded this to the tech department.
  19. Yeah I was just curious in general. I know people who think skin effect happens but saying "within audible range" doesn't seem to convince them otherwise. So if there was a number like 50Khz or x number it'll be a better wow factor.
  20. So just for future reference when does skin effect come in? I know outside the audible hearing range but is there an exact point where it could happen?
  21. I swear you never keep anything man.

    I dislike 8 personally. I would really like to get my daily lappy back to Win7. Get start 8, it makes windows 8 an enjoyable experience. My boot up time with an SSD and a few starting apps is about ~5 seconds to desktop. Very quick, resource friendly, and can net you 3-5 FPS in some games VS windows 7.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I like the build feel of them, the included back machine aluminum stand is pretty sweet too. Although I'm not that in love with windows 8 on tablet personally. Although the pro model is like a full fledged PC, so running it should support most applications that run on windows PC. I couldn't get used to the included keyboard. Personally I use a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX reds, so I'm used to a much more tactile feel instead of the flat keyboard.
  24. Seriously? That is very unheard of in this industry. Every driver I have ever purchased in a B&M store has been this way. EVERY one, no matter the company. Yeah with Rockford they don't even repair the sub the dealer is just supposed to dispose of it.
  25. Seriously? That is very unheard of in this industry. Yep their return policy is pretty no questions asked.
