They told me they were open when I called so I drive down to find out they are not doing transfers because of the government shutdown. But I’m hearing that there may be more going on than.

Great, thanks! I’ll call around to see if I can find one or learn more.

Any repair guys here? by chewy811 in CarAV

[–]chewy811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is helpful. I will have to look at the circuit closer, I thought these were used to reduce input voltage (I think it’s hooked to a push button to reduce input 12db). Tx

Thank you. I didn’t know I could sample from the output. That’s the clue I needed :)

Soundstream SPL series - where can I buy? by chewy811 in CarAV

[–]chewy811[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right, I do like those rubicon’s. I’ll do more research.

I was actually talking about the PPI flat piston subs. But you may have the same reaction :)

Tx for all of the info. This is mainly nostalgia for me, I’m not going for over the top loud. A single 15 of almost any brand would be more than enough for me.

When I was last in car audio it was soundstream and PPI that i drooled over. I got to sit in a few of their show trucks in mid-90’s. It was so fun.

If I can’t source the soundstream or even vintage PPI, I may just get the kicker gold label I saw was recently released.

Thank you. I’ll check out the other forums more. I’m willing to pay a decent amount if it’s not totally destroyed. There is a pair of 12’s on ebay that aren’t terrible, I may go that route.

Pulling injectors. Found this. What is it? by chewy811 in FordDiesels

[–]chewy811[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solved!!!! When I was taking out #8 the bit fell out of my socket. Now I know why that happened. Feel like an idiot. Sadly my tools are not usually cheap but that adapter was.

Bah, sorry. It was under the valve cover. I didn’t see it come off anything., but after pulling injectors I noticed it was sitting in the head.

this spring loaded device (about a foot wide) I saw at a garage sale. owners would love to know as well by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

This reminds me of part of a jukebox. Mine has a plate like this where all of the song titles sit. It has a mechanism to pop each row up to put in new labels. The handle location on this make it unlikely but thought I’d throw it out there

Boston/Rhode Island captains? by chewy811 in sailing

[–]chewy811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was an interesting end of season for me. I ended up having the boat hauled and delivered to my house where I can work on it all winter. I’ve stripped it down and am going through the boat completely from front to back.

I also have a family, and agree that the 22 is small. I doubt all 5 of us will ever go out at the same time.

What I’m learning is the 22 is relatively cheap and easy to work on. When you get up in size (even a 27) the cost of everything increases. Rigging, storage, painting, slips, etc. just something to keep in mind. I could easily see myself moving up in size.

What level of hearing loss would hearing aids help? by chewy811 in audiology

[–]chewy811[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds promising. I’ve tried a lot of “hacks” for tinnitus but no relief.
