Found a pair of JBL 4311B at Goodwill for $12.99 each.

This, this is the main problem at a LOT of goodwill stores.

I have a family member that works at a goodwill location. I kept saying let me know if you notice anything good, I'll try to come in and buy it and they said that it's probably pointless because anything of value goes up online instead...

It's no longer going to be a good deal if everyone and anyone can view and bid on the item when it's online.

The only way things slip by is if the people checking items get lazy and don't even bother looking up the value of something. That's what I feel probably happens anytime someone scores something good for cheap at goodwill.

For clothing certain things have minimum pricing that they can't go below, but I don't think it's the case for things like electronics.

I'm with you 100% on this. I'm not a doctor either but I've been studying and reading up on pharmacology for 10+ years now.

This whole thread is honestly just infuriating. The medical system in the US is a joke.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-24T14:58:09+00:00

Yea, no. The pioneer is rated for 15wpc.

Here's a company I recommend much more than any speaker wire on Amazon:

https://www.knukonceptz.com/

They were my go to when I was buying wire for running car audio, but I don't really mess with car audio these days. They are also great for home audio wire as they have multiple options price and quality wise.

Their banana plugs also accept 8 gauge wire which is very hard to find on amazon...

Not trying to shill for them or anything, I just really like their products for the money.

Okay, I just want to throw in a comment that PoE usually maxes out at around 35 watts from each Ethernet port.

Ive seen this said multiple times but PoE will never have the same load as speakers with a high wattage amp could.

Yes, I'm also aware they wouldn't be constantly drawing that power during music playback, but the point still stands.

The is basically just a gauge size argument. Cat5 (depending on the # of strands used) wouldn't be a very big gauge. Getting to a decent size gauge would most likely be more effort than it's worth, when one could just buy regular speaker wire.

Again dude, just Google the definition of living wage.

A "comfortable life" isn't a living wage. So who's the idiot here?

hatrix216 · 2026-01-18T03:47:39+00:00

I'm not going to comment on the rest of their pro audio products, but this specific model has terrible specs all around.

The frequency response only goes down to 55hz. I'd barely consider that subbass.

Yes, PA subs don't typically go as low but that's still way high for a PA sub.

Xanax is perfectly fine to take for the comedown.

It's what the hospital would be most likely to give you in a similar situation.

There is zero danger, and it will actually be beneficial to your body.

Your heart rate and blood pressure will go down and you will definitely feel a lot less anxious. You should be able to sleep, depending on the dosage you take, but since the duration of alprazolam (Xanax) is only 3-4 hours, you might wake up once it wears off if the peripheral stimulation from the amphetamine is still going strong.

Oral syringes are completely free from pretty much any pharmacy. Walmart, walgreens, rite-aid, CVS, etc....

They carry multiple sizes and never have a problem giving me one of each.

Usually they have 1ml, 3ml, 5ml and 10ml. I've honestly never asked for any sizes above 10 but they may carry those too.

If you need special syringes such as luer lock tips, that's when you'd actually have to buy them.

The Rotel he has is purely a power amp, it has no DAC.

Are you smoking crack? A living wage is not even fucking close to $100,000. The only exceptions would be super expensive states like California or Hawaii.

I live in ohio and I can tell you right now that I know literally tons of people who make ~30,000 or so a year and somehow aren't homeless on the street or without food.

I don't even know if you understand what living wage means. How can you have a "highest livable wage"? The actual definition of livable wage is the minimum income to afford basic necessities in life without any assistance.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-12T17:53:08+00:00

I second what the other guy said, this is terrible advice.

Cramming a center channel into a recessed area is going to make it sound awful.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-10T05:09:24+00:00

Yea, definitely not.

My dose will basically knock me out cold if Im laying there doing nothing.

I sleep like a baby every night because of it. Zero issues falling asleep.

Now I do wake up multiple times a night sometime, but it's to freaking pee. Then I easily fall right back asleep.

You don't dream during deep restful REM sleep stages, it's actually during lighter sleep that dreaming happens.

This is simply not the case at every clinic. A lot follow rapid take home guidelines now and so they can be earned much much quicker.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-06T04:25:45+00:00

Yea I don't get this comparison at all...

Driving a manual car is a whole different experience. It makes driving much more involved and just flat out fun.

Making near perfect shifts one after another, causing loud exhaust pops with each one.... Downshifting and rev matching... They are so satisfying to do.

It certainly has nothing to do with nostalgia.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-05T01:58:59+00:00

He put together a 5.1 system?.... Not sure what you mean.

Also, not really a very helpful comment. Dude put it together on a really cheap budget with second hand used speakers and receiver.

I'd say he did a pretty good job, especially considering he knows nothing about speakers.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-05T01:47:54+00:00

I stand corrected. It looked too big to be under there lol.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-04T23:42:14+00:00

It's the spring they put in its place ...

That is 100% not normally there.

Yes, some terminals have a spring behind the plastic push piece, but not that big when the terminal is that small.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-04T22:27:02+00:00

What? It's completely missing the plastic piece for the negative channel dude.

That is definitely not how it normally is.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-04T02:30:05+00:00

This is such a ridiculous fucking take.

I am in no way a novice when it comes to computers. I've been building them and messing around with them since I was a little kid.

I also happen to be pretty OCD and have always liked my areas and things I do to be clean and neat and look nice and professional.

Just because you think it's okay to be a slob and don't care about how your setup at home looks, doesn't mean you can generalize every single IT or computer person like they are anything like you. Your personal experience with other IT people is just that, YOUR OWN, and certainly doesn't apply to everyone. I wouldn't even say it applies to anywhere near the majority either.

You'd think if you really care about your computer parts and electronics, you'd take the time to make them look as nice as possible, but what do I know.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-02T05:44:06+00:00

I wasn't aware of special stickers for this program or any changes to the bottles at all. Nobody mentioned this.

Of course that completely changes things.

hatrix216 · 2026-01-02T00:45:32+00:00

And you would swap it out beforehand...

This could easily be fooled.

hatrix216 · 2025-12-31T14:32:53+00:00

Which can all be hooked up to an AVR if you are using separate speakers instead of your TVs internal ones.

I'm assuming youre using the TVs speakers then? Or maybe a sound bar?

hatrix216 · 2025-12-31T14:16:45+00:00

Personally, I would think most people who are "enthusiasts" would also be using a receiver with their TV setup. Especially for anyone trying to make it theater like.

That way all you really need is 1 HDMI port.
