For instance, it is normal to have 8 people swimming/floating/standing behind the boat and 2 in the boat. Obviously if those in the water are 20' away and in the boat you are right there the volume difference for the same level is extreme. Dialing that in keeps everyone happy. I added a sub level as well since when it is all towers and everyone is out back you want to take it up a notch. When driving though it sits between my legs like everything good so the level can be turned down. Added bonus is that no one knows how to adjust it so they don't

In my boat I have potentiometers to the inboats, tower speakers, and subs (along with overall volume). That way I can dial in whatever balance I want. Personally I'd go that route instead of shutting things off since it is potentially useful for other reasons as well. More of a soldering mess, but not that big of a deal. If you need a 4 leg pot though they get expensive ($50). 2's are cheap. ALPS audio tapers are what you want.

It's blank

Did the little men see dad doing this and does Aidan have his own sled? No and no

OMGWTFBBQ. I think my shock builder thought I was superman. Getting the sled >3' in the air and compressing the shocks only an inch is NOT comfortable for anything other than jumps and that is about the max I fly. Sure I'll clear road approaches but much more than that and my parenting instinct over rides my manhood

The minidsp "comes" with a volume control. Use it. The sub I'd recommend using an ALPS pot for. Make sure to get the audio taper one. "" are because it's a couple bucks.

Sweet, I like how you roll

Sled is back on the trailer and hopefully ready to rip tomorrow. Couldn't hit rpms in my yard, but that is a function of the yard, lol. Neighbors have to think I'm nuts riding through trees that are spaced about 5' apart throughout the whole yard.

You can surely use the EQ to make cuts, just no boost.

I blame Kevin

Confirmed what I was pretty sure I had measured. A log function that won't nicely correlate with the stock gauge, but solves my concern for tomorrow. Did a four point calibration in a cup of water from 35F to 160F that was crude but close. Wanted to make sure my curve fit was good

I blame Kevin

Thanks Seth!

]I use(d) Orb which is an online service.. When I used it, it was free and worked pretty well.. You could access it on your PS3, Android, PC, Whatevs. I'll check it out, thanks. Are you trying to do this remotely or in your wireless space? ie, cloud or your own storage. If it is your own I'd bet the Squeeze suite has an app for that. Haven't looked as I just use the Droid to control my Squeezebox and volume in any room in the house. On the road I carry 128gb of music that I've stripped my collection down to but that is a pretty reasonable amount. Room A = PC with music files. Want to be in room B, and listen to music from my android phone. I've been swapping music around on the microsd card on the phone, but it's becoming a PITA due to the usb cable continually cutting out (which is weird since I've never ever had that happen). Perhaps it would be easier to just buy a 32gb microsd card. Is your Droid the source or the control (or both)? Can you run a direct wire? The Windows PC is the music source, and I want to use the android phone to connect to the PC for the music. Whether the phone can control which music is being played, or if it simply connects to streaming music--either route is fine with me, but I need to get the stupid router figured out now. No direct wire. In the room where the phone is exists an amplifier/stereo? And really no access to either ethernet or two RG6's? Just plugging in headphones into the phone for listening--no stereo or amp. I'm a huge Squeezebox fan. Looks like they have a plug in for you. http://www.squeezeplayer.com/

Ok, board doesn't like Excel...well I do. Alternating numbers from above. Actual temps are linear.

If I have any brain, my gauge/real temp will now be. 49 100 62 110 75 120 88 130 102 140 115 150 127 160

I curve fit the response, but am sure using an exponential function is not the easy way to do this. Lol.

Seth, any idea how they rate single wire thermostat transducers for cars. 93-96 Dodge full size truck. I just took it's resistance at 4 different temperatures and it is obviously logarithmic... Perhaps it isn't the best use for it, but they had it there today and the sled runs between 100-140F usually so it isn't that far off.

You can't install supertweeters right either...or the rest of the front stage the require to work. The compromises you've outlined for the horns are WAY less severe. Of course Impious basically just said that.

And IMO using those amps on those mains makes no sense either. If you choose things based on output over fidelity you might as well carry on across the board. Not that the Adcom's don't have balls, but way spendy for what you are doing.

Keep that shit. We got 3" and the idiots on the road are driving me nuts. No, send it to me. I've got another good hour worth of work to do on the sled, but that can be done by 8am if needed. Two little stupid problems. Smashed o-ring in the carb to seal up the float needle which caused the flooding add no fuel shutoff and you are wet. TPS sensor plug installed backwards. Fucking drain means pulling the engine. Pulled carb, reeds, plugs, and exhaust and tipped on her side in every which way and pulled recoil until she stopped spitting. Letting her air out overnight. *wondering if I should squirt some oil anywhere before starting her up. Oil was premixed at about 100:1 for insurance purposes since I had pulled the oil lines and didn't trust my arbtrary oil pump calibration. Figured a shot down the plugs and through the reeds and a few pulls before turning on the ignition may be a good idea if the gas washed everything down. Even though my guess is that 100:1 is way more than needed to keep everything okay as long as I let it idle and get happy.

Why the fuck is everyone else lucky?

I am originally from Buffalo, and I catch shit when I bitch about the 20s here in NC. People don't realize that you acclimate, and I lived in the SoCal for 10 years. Down there 60 is cold. I get used to winters a bit quicker (although now, thanks to old age and arthritis every cold day is a lesson in pain) but those first cold snaps are difficult to get used to. I worked 6 hours in the garage today with the doors open. First 3 were before noon. It didn't break 8 degrees until after that. Only wore Latex throw aways as well. Ok, about 30 different pairs as carb cleaner and gasoline wreak havoc on them quickly. To say the sled was flooded is an UNDERSTATEMENT. Gas all the way up to the reeds and in the pipe. She's thirsty.
