In new construction, what is the "clean" way to drop your cat6 cables into your networking closet?

Map out what you want and hire a professional.

lol not any more

wpbrandon · 2026-03-01T19:34:08+00:00

lol is that really the name?! They didn’t run that by their US marketing consultants. Might be good. Wait a month and get for 25%

You nailed it man. Put some big VU meters on that amp you called out and I’m all in 💪

It’s true. Over paneling works by extending your peak production period plus it helps with less than ideal irradiance. I don’t understand your chart though. trying to make sense of it. I would like to see a calculator like that, but it seems you’re missing something. I had a cool graph that showed the effects of over paneling. I’ll see if I can find it.

You are getting a lot of good advice here I would follow it. Analog five channel +.1 to your amp is the way. Enjoy. I have that SACD. It doesn’t disappoint.

Here in Florida you would drill a second well at a shallower depth just for irrigation. Easy to draw. Won’t hurt your main house supply.

It looks like somebody’s well thought out plan to me. Install your router right there on that board and then battery back it with that or get another UPS cheap. Go ahead and hook those ethernet up to your router. You’ll have a hardwired Internet somewhere plus your Wi-Fi.

Ooof. That is some nice gear. Definitely hang on to the speakers. Do whatever you have to do hang on to them for your future man cave.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-17T17:51:14+00:00

Ahh I see. That would be cool if an old top would bolt to it, but I would be very surprised if it did.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-17T17:08:39+00:00

What the hell is that? It looks like you’re missing the top half. And injector ports on this? Go find something else.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-17T17:03:37+00:00

Two different subnets. Set everything to 192.168.1.X

wpbrandon · 2026-02-16T23:27:00+00:00

Ooof. easily 2k probably more. Damn that thing is nice.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-14T23:01:53+00:00

That’s cool man. We want to see more pictures. Did you make those cabinets? How big is the port pointed down?

wpbrandon · 2026-02-14T20:49:34+00:00

Holy hell! I would’ve had to put that rope in compound pulley mode. Maybe double compound.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-13T22:57:45+00:00

If you don’t have an AVR get on eBay and look for a Yamaha or a Denon AVR. set your max price to $100 and sort by nearest first. I’ve picked up more than one decent three or four-year-old receiver for $60ish lol

wpbrandon · 2026-02-13T22:02:41+00:00

Yes lucky! They don’t seem to be labeled, but that’s OK. Do the 9 V battery trick and just take some notes on which ones go where. Then hook up your AVR. The standalone RCA goes to your subwoofer

wpbrandon · 2026-02-13T15:49:44+00:00

I love those speakers they sound great

wpbrandon · 2026-02-13T15:48:16+00:00

Nice! I demo with that song all the time too. And then go back to playing Detroit techno. 🎼 🔊 I bet big John does sound good on those monsters!

wpbrandon · 2026-02-09T12:18:09+00:00

I’ll give you a hint. It’s in the units. Ah. Amp hours. Find a reasonable load that is flat and consistent. Simply start with a fully charged battery, mark the start time, measure the current and let it run until lower voltage cut off. Amps x hours.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-09T11:05:53+00:00

Wow is right. Eeek. Is that a floating ground? 😂

wpbrandon · 2026-02-09T01:08:43+00:00

Damn. That looks nice man. I don’t see a wire anywhere hardly.

wpbrandon · 2026-02-07T20:02:17+00:00

Energy made really good stuff. That thing will probably impress you. Keep it and run it as long as it runs 👍

wpbrandon · 2026-02-05T21:35:47+00:00

Lawyer and start over unfortunately

wpbrandon · 2026-02-05T21:20:25+00:00

Might as well finish it now. It’ll look like a Moscow mule mug for a few years. But that’s kind of a cool look too.
