Eddie Runner wrote: Hey buddy! Where ya been??? It's a long story... First, the local SQ competition scene collapsed. The population isn't big enough to support both SQ and dB Drags. Then I got involved with an IT project that took all my waking hours. The plus side of that was that I made enough to pay off the mortgage and not have to work last year. I spent the time at home with my 2 young children (now 4 and 6 yo), on the advice of a good friend who had worked all the hours he could building up his business only to wake up and realise he had a strange teenager in the house - he'd totally missed his oldest child growing up. And he was right, it's intensely rewarding to be a full-time parent at this stage. Later on they'll start to develop their own life and be happy to see less of me, but I now have some priceless memories that'll bring a smile to my face for the rest of my life. As far as bridging goes... ;-) You dont see everyone saying bridging an amp halves the impedance anymore do you..?? Used to be it was EVERYWHERE!!!! Even many manufacturers printed it .... After I got through with everyone, they all seemed to learn thier lesson... You never hear it anymore... I was relentless and it worked! I haven't looked lately. Are you sure you want to open that can'o'worms again? grin Or shall we move on to the merits of grounding to chassis versus returning to battery terminal? I seem to recall we did that one pretty well to death when I was here last time, and your name is associated with several other occurrences of the topic over the years. This place needs a really good FAQ, so whenever a FUDpucker (or whatever his name is) turns up you can all shout in unison, "RTFFAQ!" Good to see ya! Thanks. This place has changed, but the same can be said of many Usenet newsgroups. Take a look at rec.audio.opinion sometime - it ought to be renamed rec.politics or something. Usenet newsgroups are generally a dying area, many ISPs no longer offer newsgroups. People prefer chat channels and web forums for some reason. Personally, I find the signal-to-noise too low on chat channels and the interfaces too slow and clunky on web boards. They're OK if you're a newbie but if you really want to speed-read (and read anywhere) then Usenet and a good offline reader is the way to go. It won't matter so much in a few years when there's free wi-fi on every street corner, but at this moment working offline is still neccessary. -- Don Hills (dmhills at attglobaldotnet) Wellington, New Zealand |

Unfortunately there are a number of web boards which offer access to usenet and rec.audio.car. Just like in the old days with AOL and WebTV, this has allowed immature noobs without the wherewithall to configure a newsreader to access this group, for better or worse - usually for worse. Man...what a run-on sentence. -- thelizman "I didn't steal the FAQ either" teamROCS Car Audio Forums http://www.teamrocs.com/caraudio/ teamROCS Car Audio News http://www.teamrocs.com/news/ "It's about the music, stupid" This post is Copyright (C) 2004.

I did notice tonight after playing around a bit that the noise is much
louder when the HU is turned off. They said bring it back tomorrow and they'll troubleshoot it. I brought it back; couldn't leave it for the day on Friday so he only had an hour to play with it. He did stop the noise when the radio is off though - said the turn on sensor wire (or whatever it's called) on the HU was incorrectly hooked up to the ignition and so when the radio was off, the amps were still on. But still didn't solve the noise yet. He did run a short ground to see what happened and it made the noise louder. I'll bring it back on Tuesday and leave it so he has the day to try more things.

Mike Tried everything on the FAQ today, the only thing that remains is to swap out the amp; so he's ordering another 450/4 for me and we'll swap it out. |
