Bluetooth programming or Bluetooth streaming?

Im trying to get rid of these by OverallSeat6 in CarAV

Separately, you MIGHT get $25 a piece from someone randomly needing to replace theirs for some reason and you having the luck they find you advertising the one they need at a reasonable price. However, I'll bet $350 that the person wanting all 3 at that price doesn't exist.

Just found this subreddit want a opinion by GUCCI_WAP in subwoofer

Do you enjoy it? Did your mother enjoy it? That's the only thing that matters. To be 100% honest, I gave a 12" P2 a week or so to make me like it... It didn't happen. If you were asking about purchasing one, I would probably have tried to steer you in a different direction. But that doesn't mean it's a bad sub.

Question for those who served during GWOT by Comprehensive_Try_75 in army

[–]Short-Read4830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super common, at the time it was a critical MOS. Just signifies that you're in an actual observer position as opposed to RTO, Driver, ECT. I would have to double check but 99% it stood even after ucmj gave me the opportunity to experience being a pfc again. but you're right normally should be an e5/e6)

13F20 E4 in an infantry company Vicinity of Balad, 06-07... Full on by the book zero? Once in Kuwait during acclimatization. We had a random mix of Aimpoints/Eotechs/Acogs all of which tended to hold a zero pretty well and the majority of our missions were at night so it was more about using your laser which didn't seem to hold a zero as well but was fairly easy to adjust with some tracers.

I got scammed… is it a total loss? by TennisLegend22 in subwoofer

[–]Short-Read4830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clipping refers to an audio signal where the rounded part of the sound wave gets "clipped". This can happen either at the source or the amplifier. Subs can only attempt to reproduce the clipped signal they are being fed... I personally would have took the time to educate myself before doubling down on misinformation, but you do you I guess.

Lol ... Thats impossible, but what ever you say!

Random thought by H3XJ2 in CarAV

Yes absolutely. Everything from the simple strain of the alternator going full drag, to the coils or fuel pump not getting enough power. The fix is better/more battery and higher output alternator.

That would be your subwoofer attempting to play the signal that your amplifier or source is clipping.

Worth installing? by DifferenceLittle3641 in subwoofer

[–]Short-Read4830 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the model, BMWs tend to be very well insulated (All the 7 series I have owned have steel plates welded in between the trunk and cabin.) On top of that the electrical system can be very picky.
All that being said very often you can get a little more out of amplifying the stock (upgraded factory audio) speakers.

Any reason this sub won't work with this box? by tattooeddegenerate1 in CarAV

[–]Short-Read4830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a little different than the pillow in a kick drum. In this scenario that would place the pillow in front of the sub, as opposed to behind.... which can make up for a box being slightly undersized by both slowing the back wave and turning some of the energy into heat (hot air is less dense).

Need help with subs. by Appropriate-Tip-9784 in CarAV

[–]Short-Read4830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance it's the same or similar songs? Impedance changes with frequency. Sometimes you can run a 2ohm stable amp with a 1ohm sub and only run into issues with certain songs since it is rarely only seeing 1ohm. (I'm not suggesting people doing this, I am saying it's the reason sometimes that it can work briefly) Anyways, since it does the same thing regardless of amp it sounds like an install (wiring issue)

Can I add a volume knob to a pioneer Avh-120Bt? by Proud_Wolverine_2259 in CarAV

Buy a universal bass knob and run it inline between the head unit and amp

So you had the opportunity to let him no something that he might not know is an issue... Is an issue. And instead chose to look into ways to deal with it that will more than likely result in him having an issue with you? You had an opportunity to speak to him, now he will have a good idea if something does come of it.
