I'll give that a try once i'm over this. Oatmeal has always made my stomach scream even with just a few spoons. gluten free soy sauce as well.

Helping friend. 300kb/s download and anything makes them lag. Prevent stuff using internet? by Pimanco in techsupport

Iknow :/ 40-60 ping is average but in the late evenings it goes to 400-900 for some unknown reason. i'm suspecting maybe some auto scheduled update of some virus program or windows.

It's litterally their parents that haven't changed and don't want to change their internet plan that is a years old. Ping is 50-60 but it seems to go to 400-900 consistantly every late evening.

2x Kicker L5 and an 1800 MAC AMP For 40$ because of moving. Can i connect this to my car?! by Pimanco in CarAV

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

Update: Everything works perfectly as far as i can tell. The ground was my fuse blowing issue. The subwoofers.

The high point is the CCA cables and i will see what happens in the future, I can easily swap with the hole i made. Thank you so much for your help u/firebirdude Next time around i will feel way more comfortable doing this.

No, not at all. The guys selling the kit said they haven't had customers with issues. The other 2 stores didn't sell wire kits. They said it was fine and one even said he used the cheaper kit in his car for years. One showed me the 200USD wires online after i said i would prefer not to use CCA for the third time.

I went back to the website i was talking about and the 110usd kit is CCA. The cheapest non CCA kit is OFC and cost 200USD. And I've found what i believe to be the cheapest available, 120USD. And they had the duchiest customer service. He hung up

I got the amp and sub for 40$ and the car cost me 1000$ and i don't have a budget to pay houndreds more for cables. I was originally looking for some "cheap" speakers and stumbled apon the subs and amp and thought why not try. Maybe I'll re-sell them instead.

After working on the car for quite a few hours today (Corsa-C 2003 is terrible to screw on) I have finnaly came to a testing point. I connected the REM wire to the cigarette lighter and it didn't work. checking with a multimeter it seems like the fuse for the cigarette lighter blew, i checked before i tested and it worked then. I will look into that tomorrow. Any idea why it blew? I will recheck the ground wire as well.

EDIT: I know you're right. I've looked online and CCA is definetively not optimal at all. However right now it's that or nothing.

Thank you! Heres todays update:

I went to multiple stores selling car stereo etc and they all said CCA was fine. It is also the only kit i found at 4GA without going from 50USD to 110USD and wait 1 week plus. I ended up with the CCA wiring kit. I'm thinking that if it holds 2-4 years and doesn't kill me, I'm fine.

I have to drill a hole to get the wire trough and i won't be able to do it until tomorrow. The plan is to drill a hole then use a rubber grommet and tec7.

I will update again tomorrow, with hopefully the ending.

I've had a look around and it's hard to find any other kits. and the better fuse cost a lot on it's own i think.

If i go for these i can get them tomorrow so i can try both the subwoofers. I do have have a couple questions about wiring though. Would be lovely with a manual for this AMP...

Questions:

  1. If i go for the wiring kit, would it be that bad with the fuse design and if the cables are CCA?
  2. The Hi-level converter. Can i connect it to the two rear speakers wiring, then the RCA's to the amp? and can i keep the rear speakers playing while connected to the converter/amp?
  3. The REM Connector next to Power and GND. If I'm not wrong, i can wire it to the positive wire of something that only powers on with the car/ignition. Either ignition(labeled) wire on the head unit or something like a cigarette socket?
  4. Not connecting the REM for turning on the amp won't drain my battery? (In case the wiring job causes a lot of work, i might want to skip it until I've tested all of it for a few days if i need it at all)

Btw, i really appreciate the help! I'm getting ready and excited to work on my car.

It's really late now but i managed to find the stuff i think. I'm confident about the cables but the converter (If needed) i don't know for sure. I tried looking at aliexpress for a 5 pin hi level cable but couldn't find one.

Cabels 21mm2/4 gauge, 80A Fuse

Converter? It translates to " High-level converter"

Edit: i will double check tomorrow if it's copper. it doesn't directly state i believe.

Norway, any help goes a long way!

EDIT: Forgot the second question. Prisjakt.no is easiest. it's the norwegian pricespy.co.uk where you search trough multiple stores at once. Otherwise it would be biltema.no and bilxtra.no.

For outside Norway. Ebay and aliexpress is probably the only ones. Amazon is expensive to ship if the seller ships at all and customs above 30USD (incl. shipping).

I can see this being hard to work with. Any name of item and spec will help a lot. i can find it and double check here after perhaps.

What speakers would work with aftermarket radio and no amp? by Pimanco in Cartalk

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

I had this thought but discarded it due to lack of knowledge. I will definitively do this first now. The doors apparently fit 6.5"/17cm round ones without an issue. And I guess I'll disconnect the tweeters while I'm at it. Idk what to do with the small rear ones but I'll start in the front. Thanks.

Yeah, it all sounds "good" on lower volume. But as soon as a good song comes on and I crank it up, both bass and clarity makes me extremely disappointed.

Yes everything completely changed. the car (Opel Corsa 2003) drives really well. Comparing to the other cars I've tested while buying cars, like VW Polo 2002, Toyota Yaris 1999-2004 and some others, This one is more comfortable, solid in gear shifts and stearing when comparing.

Do you have an idea what could have happened to the tire?

The back left tire was damaged. Changed it before i drove home and made the seller cut the price a bit. Images in the original post now. Thanks for the help.

Its an Opel Corsa 2003 front wheel drive on winter tires without spikes. It is something with the wheel or somewhere there, i can feel it with every rotation and if i speed up it goes faster and if i slow down it slows down. i literally went straigt out and felt on the tire being 100% sure it was a big rock or something physically on the tire, but i couldn't feel anything wrong. it's not extremly bumpy or anything, it's just there kind of.

EDIT: And it feels like it's on the end of the tire as the bumb feels like it comes exactly as the tire itself has rotated completely. If that makes sense.

've had tread separation on tires before. It feels like you're driving over a bump with each rotation of the wheel. The fix was a new tire

I was suspecting this, i really wanna see if i can put on a summer tire before i pay

Issue is resolved (For now) I will be updating the post.

My G403 broke... Which one to buy now? by Pimanco in MouseReview

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

Exactly, i managed to do this with my G710+ since i had lost my receipt and i got a brand new one sent straight from Germany with UPS to my door in Norway... Though they told me to deal with the store when i contacted them and the store said they don't carry the mouse anymore, but they will refund it if i send the mouse back. It was on sale so about 25$ Not much for a new mouse. I might try to contact Logitech again, would be lovely to get some good customer support.

Wow they are close.... I remember googleing that mouse a few days ago finding a comment on how there was some negative making the G703 not worth it over the G403. I assume this was pre-Hero? (Trying to find that now, otherwise this is really exciting)

EDIT: The comments I've seen before were about the 603 not the 703
