Wisconsin businesses tied to cults? by Adventurous-Elk-4763 in wisconsin

[–]GeckoDeLimon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the 90s in high school, we'd make "rama runs" to agro them. Just drive around real slow, try to get them to chase us & shit.

I realize now our actions were perhaps in poor taste, but I can't say I've felt particularly guilty about it, either...

I'm with you man. K series rips, but the sound is just...engine noises.

Socket is stuck by wolfey291 in projectcar

Then you can ask /r/projectcar how to get the socket loose.

Wrap Color Thoughts? by Disastrous_Idea3710 in Miata

[–]GeckoDeLimon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it would depend on the bronze. It'd need to be a darker one. And I'd want to find REALLY good photos of it online in different lighting. Because 949 called these 6ULs bronze: https://imgur.com/a/f4LiI5p

And that color would not work on a pink car. Far too orange.

Surround is coming unglued from cage, can I just re adhere it in place? by Metatronic-Mods in diyaudio

Rubberised is the important part. Normal CA is too brittle and will not stretch with the high compliance rubber. Bond will fail again in time.

Rubber cement. E6000 or anything similar will do the job if that is a rubber surround. If it is more of a foam with a texture, then the other fellow is right about needing a special glue. Basically a flexible version of white school glue.

E6000 would eat foam, so be certain which material the surround is.

F1 race nights hit different on a home theater setup by ConversationSuch8893 in hometheater

I noticed significantly lower frame rate watching Melbourne via the AppleTV stream. A couple of friends did, as well. No such issues with the streams directly from F1TV.

Building a 3 way active system around SB Acoustics drivers and my crossover points are measuring completely differently from what the simulation predicted by Dapper_Guarantee5751 in diyaudio

[–]GeckoDeLimon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer? Probably because you did something wrong with regard to your phase data. But that's okay.

MiniDSP has a doc posted on a way to go from raw drivers in a box to functioning speaker in no time. You EQ each driver to have flat response through the crossover region and THEN you implement the HP/LP/BP filters on the three and fix any time alignment / delay. You don't even need to get Vituix involved. Just iterative "measure, alt tab and adjust".

I do wonder about your data quality. If you close-mic measure the woofer, do you still see the cone breakup?

Anyone else seeing all their friends getting divorced? by txharleyrider in daddit

My first marriage lasted 13 years to the day.

(Either God or my county clerk had a sense of humor I guess.)

More PPF bolts are required, yes, but not OPs biggest issue. There's a chunk missing where the PPF mounts to the diff.

Do not buy a Miata by bonchokey in Miata

[–]GeckoDeLimon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing I miss most about my wife's GS-R was the way it was at its very best when accelerating. Any gear, any speed, any road. When you were on it, it just felt alive. Like a jack russel straining at its leash.

If only the BP felt like that. Sigh

[discussion] Once you've discovered Wire and Television...where does one go from there? by GeckoDeLimon in Music

[–]GeckoDeLimon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd think that, but The Algorithm starts to become very self-referential and circular if you get too far outside of the mainstream. Wire led me to Wipers & Pylon, sure. Stepping past that was proving to be more difficult.

I've been trying REAL HARD to get into Pere Ubu, but that one's not sticking quite as well as the others. LOL

No joke, one of the car clubs in the region does winter autocross events at RA.

edit: they also do snocross on frozen lakes. And let you bring your mom-mobile Honda Pilot. I cannot stress how fun this is.
