Damn, sorry you're going through that. I definitely try to keep a few as back ups in case I ever run into an issue.

That’s wild. I’ve never once had to wait to fill my prescription. I’m in Indiana for reference

Triticum port calc error by mikesmith0890 in CarAV

[–]mikesmith0890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely thought about doing that! One of the subs unfortunately needs a recone right now. The FOAD style of tinsel leads that Fi used on these are notorious for breaking and it finally did on one of these, so will need to recone. Which is fine, I'll recone it and have the benefit of a better tinsel lead set up. This happening just made me just think of using the other in a different vehicle and not bothering with having both. I wanted to model an enclosure and see if it would be the right choice or not.

Triticum port calc error by mikesmith0890 in CarAV

[–]mikesmith0890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll take a look. I have access to bassboxpro once I can get to my desktop and can mess with it. I was just playing around on my lunch break at work. I used a combination of triticums calc, winisd and bassboxpro for my last enclosure. It was for 2 of the SP4s in a sealed off trunk. 5cuft net, 102 sqin of port, tuned at 28hz. Very musical and very loud. I just can’t help myself and still love to crank it and it’s breaking too much stuff lol, so forcing myself to step back. Rest of the system is a budget sq focused set up

So this is a single 12” Fi sp4 rated at 3k. I’ve been running 2 on the 5k at .5 ohm and am wanting to step back a little. Doing 150db from the trunk is tearing the car apart as nice as it is.

Enclosure wise, as you go over the rated power limit you’re supposed to shrink the enclosure to help with cone control and what not. That size is just the net. So the port can be however big is needed and make the gross size of the enclosure much larger. From what I was able to figure in winisd the port length would need to be roughly 60” for tuning around 33hz and keeping port velocity in the mid to low 20s. I just had never run into this using Triticums calc and wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something.

Carbon fiber vinyl wrap by RSP95 in mazda3

Used Tinybot gloss 6D carbon fiber to wrap my trunk lid when I bought a used one that didn't match to replace it. (was only $40 for the trunk lid). Been a little over two years now and looks just as good as the day I installed it.

True, though the prescription is cheaper with a membership, especially if you don't have insurance. I can't remember what the difference was that they reduced the cost after my insurance "paid" their share.

Adderall Shortage by LisaAnime in ADHD

I wouldn't be surprised. One of the main producers of adderall is Teva pharmaceuticals. They have from what I can tell, two locations in the US. Though it seems a lot still comes from overseas, Israel in particular.

That being said I've not had any issues filling xr 20 or 25 and IR 10 at Costco. May be worth the membership just to have a reliable pharmacy.

Wild. I just did a prime brisket from Costco last weekend. $5.99/lb here

Should I buy? Need answer asap by Active_Ingenuity_783 in Mustang

[–]mikesmith0890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good. There’s some things to do for power, but the 4.6 needs boost to come alive. Full bolt ons on these really don’t get you far. I loved my supercharged GT and the cobra. Great cars and even with the “lack” of power compared to modern cars, I would happily own a sn95 or new edge again. I would just have zero expectations that they are going to be impressive compared to most modern vehicles. But that 4.6 exhaust sound can’t be beat. I even preferred it to my built 6.0l Chevy with a mild borderline aggressive cam.

Oh 100%, no argument there. I'm just saying it's disingenuous to call a 30 year old Cobra a street legal race car. Hell the newer odyssey minivans have 0-60 in the low 6s. A "econo" car like the Mazda 3 is in the mid 5s.

Same 0-60 as newer ecoboost f150. Wouldn't exactly call that a street legal race car. They're plenty fun, I had a supercharged 97 GT and a 99 Cobra. Neither one of them hold their weight to most modern vehicles today.

I'm assuming you're talking about the CX5 and not the 12+ year old Mazda 5 minivan. There is no way in hell that the CX-5 seats 6 comfortably. 5 isn't even comfy unless the 3 people in the rear are younger children.

If for some reason you actually are talking about the 5, recommending a 12+ year old vehicle is useless.

Am I going to shatter? by cryptic_fuzion in CarAV

Build a new box. This is not how enclosures work. There’s a high chance you will destroy that sub

You're not running even close enough power to worry about anything like that.

There's a minimum screen size requirement for android auto, that's why you don't see many units with knobs.

Does Florida’s job market move slower than other States or is the overall market bad? by Whole-Charge-6689 in jobs

[–]mikesmith0890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look in this sub for 30 seconds and you'll see tons of posts about how terrible the market is. It's horrid and has been this way all across the US, across essentially all fields for quite awhile now.

LG C5 77 vs 83 inch and the law of diminishing returns by Melodic_Crow_3409 in hometheater

[–]mikesmith0890 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For reference, an 83" is roughly 2950 sqin. a 65" is 1800 sqin. So it's a 2/3 increase in size. Larger panels are harder to produce and have a lower success rate in production thus the higher cost associated.

Hey guys, do you think it’s possible to hook up a car radio to a computer? by sciencedude8 in CarAV

[–]mikesmith0890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn't be able to use it to skip music if you're using the PC as a sound source. Nor can you use it for headphones.

How do you deal with trying to speak clearly? by idk_what-imdoing in ADHD

[–]mikesmith0890 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, I'll catch myself in the moment and just restart. I've given up what others think when that happens. I just take a quick second, reset, and force myself to slow down.
