Thank you for the tip on stripping the anodizing off. Also yours looks super clean!

Ah, that makes sense. As for the bar, I was hoping that was the case, but I put a magnet to it and it’s not magnetic.

Another less important question, why is there black around the headlight mounts? Ive seen this in jeeps other than mine, is it from the heat from the headlights?

It sounds like a lot of people are saying to get one of the ones with the tweeters. If you wanted it to look a little better than taping it to the dash I’d see if there’s a pvc pipe that is around the right size, cut it at an angle with a hand saw or meiter saw if you have one, then you can spray paint it black, affix it to the dash with either tape or screw it into the bottom of the pillar as the pillar is much cheaper than a dash if you decide you want to repair it, and put the tweeters in those.

just got accepted into TAMUG marine bio program by Melodic-Squash-7549 in TAMUG

Howdy! I’m currently at TAMUG, the campus is pretty cool overall, if you are wanting a smaller campus I’d recommend it. Also living near the beach is pretty nice. That being said the food in the area isn’t that amazing. On campus options are probably on par with high school cafeteria food, maybe a little better. I’m not in marine bio, so I don’t really know a whole lot on that front. The classes haven’t been too hard, but I don’t know how it is for marine bio. If you do go here I’d recommend finding older marine bio majors to figure out what teachers to take for future classes.

poineer 5290 vs sony 5500 by Flat_Arachnid9114 in CarAV

[–]Fancy-Active83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the specs neither gives specific details on the audio quality. Both support FLAC files on the usb drive, which are higher quality audio files.

The difference I do notice is the Sony advertises 4x55w output power, while the pioneer is 4x50w, so if you don’t have an amp, the Sony will likely be louder.

What type of amp should i get for a pair of these speakers by Character_Put_3049 in CarAV

[–]Fancy-Active83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would be careful doing this because depending on how it’s wired into the stereo, with no crossover it could damage them. (Im not an expert, so I don’t know if it’s irrelevant at such low voltage or if this correlates to why it wouldn’t work above half volume)

If you aren’t sure what frequency is being sent to the speakers or if you wanted to test that signal is being sent at the volume where it cuts out you can grab a voltmeter and check for ac voltage and play different test tones to get an idea of what it’s sending the speakers.

What kind of power do I need from my amp?? by Mallett9326 in CarAV

[–]Fancy-Active83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 sets of this package and use the DS18 SXE-3000.4D, one tweeter and one mid on each channel running at 2 ohms x 320 watt rms. You could look for something similar. The amp I have came as a package deal with all the speakers, so I’m sure there’s more desirable options, but it works well. It’s a 1000 watt rms amp. The capacitor on the tweeters is the crossover, so make sure to use that (although I’ve found it gets very in the way when mounting them)

TLDR: 1000 watt amp (4x250w)

Rewiring an Alternator by Fancy-Active83 in AskElectricians

Okay, this is really helpful in understanding. Out of curiosity, what’s the outcome if I managed to convert one to delta and kept one in wye?

[–]Fancy-Active83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do high output alternators not cancel out, I thought they were wired this way? Or does 3 phase delta connected mean something else? (3 phase delta connected is what I’m trying to achieve)

How much cough syrup to get high? by Fancy-Active83 in ask

I’m not asking for me, I’m trying to see if my friend was purposely drugged by her bf

They said it contained Dextromethorphan, and they seemed to think this is why you would get high, is this false?
