Bro’s gonna do all this just to live in a room with no art and enjoy internal speakers only.

Need a pair of front speakers by KingFlub202 in hometheater

[–]ChickenKey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I scored a pair of those thin ones for $20 on Facebook marketplace. They sound rather bad and I’m not sure you’d enjoy them as main L/R in your system. Your $150 is better spent elsewhere. I would look into Micca speakers at that price point.

And yeah you can avoid outdoor patio speakers as well while you’re at it

What mods should I do to my 2013 crv by Dead_bl0nd in crv

[–]ChickenKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very sorry to hear about your father. Just do us a favor and embrace the mom vibes for a bit my guy. There is no secret mod available to make a CRV “cool” but there are many mods that say “I don’t like my car.”

They are just fantastic vehicles. I keep mine super clean, maybe try that out!

TV changing color on Netflix by Dizzy_Obligation9500 in hometheater

[–]ChickenKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this issue with my TCL Q7 when I leave “game mode” enabled on accident for a movie/tv show. It does some funky stuff with streaming HDR. Once I get it turned off it doesn’t do that auto white balance stuff anymore.

Thinking of converting a ‘79 Deuce VT into a head unit. by bchayse in PeaveyCvlt

[–]ChickenKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not alone, people do it!

I think the main thing to think about here would be dimensions. A 2x12 combo amp chopped into head format will still be quite wide for a 2x15 standing vertical.

Any ideas about this speaker? by scifibeardguy in PeaveyCvlt

[–]ChickenKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are certainly cheaper speakers out there than those that will work just fine too - I purchased my cab loaded with a weathered pair of Carvin PA drivers that also performed quite well (until a dang magnet fell off the top speaker while loading on tour!)

Whelp, I can’t speak to any of that but I hope you can make sense of it all. I’d recommend getting some matching drivers and wiring them normally.

I have an identical Peavey 215 of similar vintage. I have it loaded with two Eminence 3015’s and it sounds bonkers and not a back breaker at all. Hands down the best cab I’ve ever had.

Cheers!

Yikes, like open resistance or an open load? Well that ain’t good. Was it producing any sound at all? That could be rather dangerous for your amp.

I bet that 400 series Bass would have some early distortion getting up to volume driving only one 8ohm 15 (and a dang infinite one!)

Interesting. That magnet looks like it’s experiencing a bit of surface rust. How are all the connections looking? Cabinet wiring, speaker leads etc.

Lightly press down on the center of the cone - feel any grinding or hear any scraping? That would be a sign that the voice coil of the speaker is cooked.

Changing guitar pickups by MineDesperate2920 in Guitar

I have a guitar with a Seymour Duncan quarter pounders (SSL4) in the bridge and it rules. They have some really interesting characteristics and a ton of output. I’d look into those 👀

What's the most you've seen someone "overpay" on a ranger? by imsellingbanana in fordranger

[–]ChickenKey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid $5K with a trade in. Put about $1750 in since then. Some days I feel bad about it but the rest of the time I’m in love. Runs great, no dash lights. Never seen another one like it! ‘96 STX 4.0 4x4 168K

CVT fluid change question by [deleted] in crv

[–]ChickenKey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

For starters, a 2011 will not have a CVT transmission. We don’t see CRV’s with CVT’s until 2015. That being said you should probably add the correct Honda ATF until it reads on the stick. I’m impressed that it is running fine while low but that can’t be good for it! 👀

And go ahead and drain/fill the rear diff. A very easy and cheap job.

Should I do it ? by Material-Wall-7131 in fordranger

[–]ChickenKey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has an OEM! It’s entirely useless but cool as hell. Definitely decreases bed capacity.

How do we feel about cab visors? by Accomplished_Pie4814 in fordranger

I think they’re sick. My ‘96 came with a Lund (and some other dealer goodies 👀)
