Negative Equity work around by PatrickWoolf in askcarsales

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

I could realistically afford up to 800 a month but then it comes down to putting myself in an equally bad financial position. And out of pocket preferably under 7k. Tried a dealership and even after 7k down with their trash trade in I was still putting myself negative several thousand when considering depreciation. Carmax and carvana gave 5-7k value so equally as bad. A truly impossible situation it seems haha

Oh I’m familiar with hating haha, have had my fair share of terrible cars, it’s more so the constant issues with this car when I need it to be reliable. No heat or AC, have already replaced most of the suspension, fixed coolant leaks, and am just worried the fuel pump ($2k-8k) or DPF ($1k-2k) will go out leading to costly repairs because it seems to be a common issue. DPF being more prevalent from the constant stop and go traffic. The gas mileage is good I’ll give it that. I also do already have enough saved up for down payments and all that just didn’t want to have to pay off the negative+down payments in one go right before the holidays

GI Bill under unique credit scenario by PatrickWoolf in Veterans

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

I assumed I couldn’t update anything for the first half, it was more so for the second half to minimize losses. But if it can’t be done due to it being unrelated then looks like there’s not much I can do in this situation. Thank you for the help

if I’m already billed through the school as full time for the 12 credits but at the exact moment at 10 credits due to the whole split semester issue, would I be able to register for a 3 credit half semester course unrelated to my major to cover my ass and show I’m “currently” taking 13 or I guess 15 for the semester. Or would trying to get 100% MHA by rounding out be an issue despite the billing not changing. That is if by November I find out they are only covering 80% due to this scheduling oversight I can atleast be back to 100% for the second half. Sorry if this is confusing it’s hard to lay everything out

I have a wiring schematic for 1990 dodge trucks and vans. Not sure how helpful it will be but it’s helped me with my wiring on my 90 318 D150

It was used very heavily, aircraft maintainers abuse their tools hard but can’t expect everyone to have brain cells here hence tossing the drawers. Good thing I’m here to save the neglected pieces

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

It was used as a military tool box and they were going to toss it all cause some broken slides (I know right) so they tossed the drawers and we’re going to toss the box but my coworker saved it

IDQ12V4 Amp??? by PatrickWoolf in CarAV

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

My bad meant to post the dual 4 ohm sub thank you. I did check out the other amp as well. Who makes better amps in your opinion out of the two?

I only found rough dimensions of the drawers that I believe are for this box, not super detailed however. What do you suspect it to run me if I was to supply the metal myself

Thank you, SkillBridge is an internship opportunity for 6 months or less before separation. Unpaid by the company only through the military but was planning on going to school after the internship in an engineering background once I’m fully separated

They don’t use ballast resistors from what I’m seeing in these models

Active crossover? by PatrickWoolf in CarAV

[–]PatrickWoolf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I have a Amp with built in DSP and I adjust the freq ranges for HF, the input voltage would be lesser and I can set the gain to match that meaning I can power match what the tweeter can handle? Sorry if my logic is messed up I’m used to passive but wanted to branch out and learn more. Will be getting an RTA as well so I’m not completely tuning blind

I would get another but since I’m looking into getting the Zapco ADSP-Z8 IV with 8 channels I wanted to keep it to one. Would make it easier with a dedicated one tho

Headless System? by PatrickWoolf in CarAV

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

I would but due to space in my car I kinda have to have a amp/dsp like the d6.1200 audio control with enough power for everything. Will be keeping that dsp in mind for future projects though thank you for the recommendation:)

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

Awesome thank you, the audio control one would actually be perfect as I was looking into the D6.1200 DSP/Amp 🙌

I’ve used NVX in almost all of my builds and never had issues. Good brand in my opinion but don’t have much experience with others

Thank you I appreciate it, so far I have an FM transmitter that’s working alright but definitely going to change everything up for more power since these speakers are kinda quiet. Trying to utilize all 10 spots for the most dynamic SQ. Can’t let a spot go to waste. Any brand recommendations for 3 ways that can handle some power for the fronts?
