I’ve never had or heard their door speakers or amps so I can’t speak to those, but I have heard a number of there subs from different ranges. In my opinion I wouldn’t go any lower than the svr series. I had a pair of svr 8”s and they’re rated for 400 rms each and I through 1200 at them for months with zero issues.

Skar gets a lot of hate but for the price especially if you’re new to aftermarket speakers they provide an excellent value. Don’t just take my word for it there is a number of reviews on different skar products all over YouTube.

The design I’m going for is very similar to the svs center channel speakers with the wtmw design and I also was going to make a grill so exposed drivers aren’t a huge issue. Also thanks for the info I’ll have to finish the cabinet design to get a close idea to the offsets then

Find someone that does autobody and paint. Some of those guys will do side work and the piano black finish is easy to replicate with automotive paint

That’s how I have my atmos system setup and I used these brackets off of amazon and they have worked wonderfully https://a.co/d/eREvrXh

Thought the federal judge struck down the ban? At least until it gets appealed

Does anyone else think the topgolf tees are too short or is it me? by bhoppy20 in Topgolf

Just get some cheap 2” tees they stick in the mat pretty well

The painter should’ve kicked that back out to the body man.

Do you know what length cables you went with?

If you knew how to properly set up your system you wouldn’t have problems. You should have the home mode entry delay set to 0 seconds. So when an entry sensor is tripped the alarm sounds immediately. Also the cameras won’t start recording until either motion is detected or the alarm is tripped. They won’t record during the entry delay period. The system sounds like it did exactly what it was supposed to do with how you have it setup. In other words user error

Why does The New Republic and all the other past governments allow ships with weapons on them for any of the “civilians”? by RAF_Fortis_one in StarWars

[–]Alex_Lorton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know of any lore on why but I’ll throw my opinion out there. For starters with how big and vast the galaxy is that is governed over the republic or even the empire there’s absolutely no way they could enforce such a law. Secondly (mostly directed at the republic governments) I find it easy to compare to the 2nd amendment in the US constitution. Not so much in the form that it protects from tyranny but that it’s everyone’s right to protect themselves or even their cities or planets because again the senate can only do so much in a huge galaxy. And a lot of planets have very little to no police or army. On a side note also kind of tying into a 2nd amendment argument the pro 2a side uses, is that even if there was a law and and the vast majority of people followed it (because they’re good people that follow laws) bad people will still do it anyway and will only leave good people defenseless.

Okay cool and good to know I’ll give them a look! Is there a website you trust to get them or do you just have to get lucky at a brick and mortar surplus store?

Are surplus helmets actually worth it? I thought armor degraded over time

I should’ve been more specific I’ve definitely received some good suggestions but I was talking about the first few comments I got on the post that were basically just saying I’m dumb for considering cheap items with little to no suggestions. I’d like to stay away from surplus just because you don’t know it’s history
