My guy found a .19 volt drain from the GEM related to the battery saver unit. But somehow in workingnon it, my keyless lock stopped working. The unlock is good. The lock is not.

GEM modules may take over an hour to power down after key off.

If i still have issues I will get one of those units that cut off power at a certain voltage.

Im going to check the resting voltage frequently.

I wonder if there are any Android tablets that can get digital line out. I know the ipad can do it no problem, but screw apple.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the point. You could just have a 3mm jack connection on dash with a rocker switch for remote turn on going to some minidsps!

I would definitely consider a mini dsp if I didn't already have the C701/H701 combo. I realize that an all digital signal isn't "necessary" for a vehicle environment, but the H701 accepts it so I figured might as well get the best you can. I don't want to use 3.5mm jack, ideally, because I don't want to use the DACs on my devices.

What would be really cool is a devices that would let me connect via bluetooth, and some kind of direct line that could output to my H701. I would be willing to give up quality if it meant less wires.

digital/3.5 you won't hear the difference. Not even close. Only bummer is the "extra" volume control

Even when comparing the phones DACs and having a direct line out? At what point would a line driver be in order?

Started messing around the truck to see what they tore up. A few twisting of wires and I had the C701 back on. Threw on my RCA to 3.5mm and had music from my phone. Definitely good enough to hold me over for now.

I'm using one, but I have cheap amps and no headunit or gain in the proc.

IQR has a shiny tunnel now....and I'm fucking tired. I should have sanded more as it was scratched pretty bad everywhere as you'd expect from a 6 year old race sled, but no hidden dings or other messes popped up.

Steve I have the sharp aquos led-lcd 60" and am happy for the price. I have Sony 35-40" in my room that I love also. The biggest reason for me to get the lcd over plasma was better side viewing, but that may not be important to you.

Tunnel?

Where the tracks run maybe?

Yep the aluminum portion encompassing the track. Figured it was aluminum, covered with stickers, and being a race sled with 6 years of use that it could look better than it did. And for Uwhores:

And yeah, shitty pic from my phone right before I quit for the night but you get the idea. Could really use a few more bouts with the buffer and polish, but I'm sore as hell already. I am also sure I did it the hard way. Tried to sand with 400,800,1500,2000 but with all the shapes that gets hard even with a flexi-block. Once I get the rest of the mods done I'm working on I'll probably hit it by hand really good one more time and call her a day.

*edit: replaced pic with a better one

I scored a Memphis 75x4 amp yesterday!! I already have a RF 4004 that I was going to use but think the Memphis will sound cleaner.

Had a nice weekend in Yonkers with Erica. Needed a little disconnect and rest before the stress of moving. Little blue meanie did a great job, still maintained over 30mpg while hauling at 80+ on 95south. :)

that is a huge selling point for me. Maybe more so than the cost. I have a bigger size living room that seems to catch a glare no matter what. I can't keep my house pitch black all hours of the day.

That's for sure biggrin.png

Reminds me of chasing an oil pressure problem in a friend's Jeep. Sender was ok, wiring was ok, turns out there was a broken trace in the dash PCB, right next to the connection with the wiring plug. Quite interesting to trace...

Interview Wednesday morning, wish me luck.

It would up my bike commute time from 7-10 minutes to 20-25. If I can get 75% on top of the current pay I would sooo ditch doing a lot side things for extra cash => more free time.
