    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Nitrogen is used for two reasons, first it's a bigger molecule than air so it doesn't lose pressure. Second is pressure fluctuates with temp, nitrogen holds a more consistent temp. So unless it's for racing or extreme conditions it's just a gimmick rather than help. nitrogen makes up 78% of air, most service centers don't manage a pure 100% fill, but rather somewhere in the 80's. not really that much better than "air" and since nitrogen is the larger molecule, after loss of pressure, and adding "air" a couple of times, it's the smaller molecules that are lost, bringing up the percentage of nitrogen in your tire. just keep a pressure gauge handy and fill with regular air. I've seen a few places that only garuntee around 85% nitrogen, and all research shows it's not beneficial until you reach 92-93%+.

    Huh, its free. Never seen it charged for here.A lot of garages around here try to charge for it... ~$8/tire iirc.

    Useless waste of money if paying. One of the Best marketed money grabs.

    Sonic Eletronix or Online Car Stereo

    Ordered many times from sonic. Mostly good experiences. Last thing I ordered was showing in stock, wasn't, so without notifying me they changed my order to the newer generation of the product, sending me not what I wanted. It was the re sex15 sub, I have one of them already and wanted to run 2, they sent me the v2, which is completely different from the first gen. Made me a little upset.

    What kind of facility would let you carry a firearm inside? I would assume you can not enter the facility with it..so even a BB gun would be acceptable for a primary..unless you do a transport maybe.Exterior mobile patrols, towers, some internal armed posts (ie gallery over a rec area). Escorts are with just sidearms, unless to an airport, then both guns.

    Colt c8 as primary, HK p2000 as backup side arm.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I use a p2000 as a backup for work. Not necessarily what I would want as a primary, but is small if you're looking for concealed. Easy to operate, cycles rounds great. Ours are chambered for the 9mm round. Holds 13 in the mag.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    not good. get that healed up. last time I hurt mine doing flat bench I was close to a year before I stopped having pain and numbness. need to take care of it before it gets too bad.I have been nursing a small tear in my cuff since August. Slowly getting my bench back, but after a heavy day pushing it, well it gets a little sore.I had surgery for a AC4 a while back like 5 years ago I did numerous push-ups through out the day I went from 10 - 600+ a day... reps of 10 and finally got were I could do reps of 50..they had to cut my collar bone and put in artificial tendons and all kinds of shit...It sucked The reason I stopped benching heavy and just started adding it back with moderate weight. After my injury my whole arm shoulder down was numb like when you sleep on it and it falls asleep down to the finger tips except my thumb it was the weirdest shit..I guess it was nerve damage,after my surgery it was still numb I thought I was screwed! within a few weeks I regained the feeling in it..It still feels weird when I pinch around the area where they opened me up..I've had hen I slept wrong, waking up in the morning with a numb left arm, pain radiating from my left pec up through my shoulder and neck, with nausea every time I turned my head. all from the nerve in my shoulder getting pinched... everyone thought I was having a heart attack...

    need guidance

    hard to suggest anything, without knowing current vehicle, space you're able to dedicate to the enclosure, type of enclosure, etc. sure, a 15 on 1200 watts "could" get louder than a 12 on 750 watts, but if put in the wrong box with insufficient electrical giving that suggestion would be horrible. you say the plan down the road is an RSX, do you know what they have space wise that you could use? are you looking at them in a performance upgrading fashion, in which case, keeping weight down becomes a priority, and a larger heavier driver in a box much bigger becomes a detriment, or just daily and don't care about the weight?

    <-- still running a simple vented alignment. Never realized that was so wrong...

    amplifiers intermittently shutting off

    Normally is. KISS principal and all.
  17. OK, so my amps intermittently shut off then turn back on. sometimes just one of them, sometimes both. if just one, it's almost always my sub amp. does it at high volume, low volume doesn't matter. if I turn the deck off, I sometimes will randomly get a turn on thump through my sub for no apparent reason. sometimes they go into protect, other times they just turn off. thoughts? solutions? apparently I are not so smrt...

    amplifiers intermittently shutting off

    Well, picked up a new fuse holder for under the hood. Swapped it with the old, as well as changed the power wire from batt to fuse holder. And bam. Issue seems to be solved. Bad connection on the old fuse holder... Guess that's what I get for using a 10+ year old fuse holder still...

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Well, not sure if anyone remembers. A while back I asked for opinions on free money spending. Either tattoo, gun, or subwoofer. Well, got a little more than expected, so today I just picked up 400 sq ft of wood flooring for the living room and dining room. And will be paying off the SUV as well. Damn responsible spending beat out the other choices.

    How are Soundqubed HDS315's?

    Two Hds3 15s do not have more surface are then 2 hdc3 18s.. And 2 18s might be a tight squeeze in a 12 cube box after port and subwoofer displacement. Probably be better off going with 2 15s.OP was looking at 4 hds3 15's not two. 4 15's would have more SD than 2 18's the hds3 series are 1200 watt ea rated vs the hdc3 being 1500 watt ea so 1200*4 vs 1500*2 I think you could "throw" more power at the 4 15's... but like said above,it's about more than just power. proper installation/enclosure makes all the difference in the world.

    Should say, I have switched my remote turn lead from the rem out on the deck to the switched ignition and didn't solve the issue. I am thinking it may be fuse/holder related. Just wanted some opinions. Need to crack open the cobweb collector and buy something it seems.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    They sell winter style gloves in Texas? I know when we drove down to Tucson on new years a few years ago, we couldn't find the windshield washer fluid that had a freeze rating on it, it was all just blue water. Here everything is -30 I think, down there, nothing. -45 here due to wind chill... And it will still freeze up at high speeds...

    K. Once it's no longer -28 degrees, I'll look into this.
  24. love going to put gas in the SUV to see it pouring out on the ground underneath...

    Help with wood choice?

    Prone to splitting/cracking I would think. Solid pieces tend to do this as they dry. Whereas with a ply, if one of the layers cracks/has voids it doesn't necessarily comprise the entire piece. ???
