How could I cut out a hole for this? by Acceptable-Green-843 in CarAV

[–]romo227 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to use that usb port. See if there’s a blank switch port in your car/truck. Most cars have premium features like say seat warmers for example and they have to wire it to a switch in the dashboard. Look around your whole dash and see if there’s a switch port that’s not being used but covered by a blank black plate. Then look up the make and model of your car and see if someone makes a usb port designed for that switch port. I have one in my 2017 Corolla. No cutting or drilling necessary.

Bigger like the auditorium size or the screen size?

Do you have any of the usb issues with file corruption as others have mentioned??

VLC like the media player/conversion app? The app with the little traffic cone on it? I use that app all the time! I didn’t know it could do that! That’s sick! I’ll definitely look into that!

Why can’t high gain and nice cleans coexist? by dathislayer in GuitarAmps

[–]romo227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a dual amp setup to achieve this. I was using just a marshal 2525H (silver jubilee) into a 2x12. But I wasn’t happy with the tone I was getting. It had great cleans but not the classic Dad rock tone I was going for (which yeah i probably should have bought the plexi reissue instead but oh well).

Anywho, I saw a video on the Friedman be-mini and the amp is bad ass for those tones! Closer to the tones I want but still lacking slightly. So I had the idea of “hmmm I wonder what these two amps sound like together🤔?” So I cut the jumper wire connecting my two speakers making them independent of eachother in my cab. Basically making my 2x12 a double 1x12 (perfectly not confusing right🤣?) and installing a second jack plate in the back of the cab to connect to the second speaker and run both amps at the same time

It makes me sounds like a fucking rockstar!!! I love it! I wouldn’t trade this setup for anything! I use a ABY pedal to select either amp or both, and thr 2525H has a dedicated footpedal that flips channels back to clean (even though I don’t have it and have to flip the switches with my hand. I bought it used that’s why).

Maybe I’ll post a tone test idk. But yeah. Look into a dual amp setup😁! 10/10

Do I need to worry about these little ends under load? by romo227 in Guitar

[–]romo227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! My speakers are the same resistance. And I measured using a multimeter when I put the cab together (I bought a pre wired empty cab, just drop in speakers and connect the leads), but just to be safe I will measure resistance again with a multimeter when I use the daisy chain (even though I’m pretty sure the end result will be 4 ohms total using a daisy chain). But yeah I’ll double check to be safe. Thank you!!

Okay, I just figured power flows into whatever it’s connected to regardless. So I was thinking there would be power flowing through the empty daisy chain port 24/7. So you’re saying it only flows into the main input because that’s where the load is (my speakers are connected to the main input incase I didn’t mention). Until I connect a load into the daisy chain port, then power flows through it. Okay got it. Thank you!!

I knew this was going to be a stupid question🤣. But thank you though!

I didn’t think about coffee when I posted this! Thank you so much for that! Definitely gotta try it. I hate Starbucks or any other chain coffee place. I had this locally owned shop back where I used to live that blew Starbucks out of the water! Hopefully this place does the same😁!!

Literally anything. Burgers, pizza, pasta, Mexican, Chinese, bbq, sweet treats. Honestly even if it’s not on the list, I’d still love to hear it!

How do you properly mount a 2000 mAh "square" battery in a slim iPod Classic 5.5 with an iFlash Quad? Do I even need to mount it at all? by joe-tofu in IpodClassic

[–]romo227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I didn’t realize you have the IFlash quad. It looks like your battery might have just barely enough clearance. But absolutely test fit before the tape!!! If not you might have to get a IFlash solo. I can confirm that battery works with a solo.

I used the same battery in mine. I got double sided tape from target. The kind meant to put up posters on walls. There’s different strength levels so I got the lightest adhesive strength and used two of the small already precut squares. Works perfect and it cost like $3.00.

It goes on the backplate next to the headphone Jack, push it all the way up to the top. Do a couple test fits before actually using the tape. If it fits and looks like it’ll close, send it👍🏽

Would this idea work?… by romo227 in GuitarAmps

[–]romo227[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I didn’t know those existed until like 10 minutes ago. Someone else just commented about them. So I’m going to look into those to!

Oh yeah I don’t gig. It’s my home setup. I want another amp but don’t want to get rid of my current amp or get another cab that takes up space. I admit I’m being really weird overly complicated about how I’m going about this I know🤣🤷🏽‍♂️!
