Hey Jim, the sub is a w3v2, dual coil 4ohm.

The weekend needs to get here... Sat gonna be Awesome Bacon in the morning and fender rolling in the afternoon...the perfect day! Lol

Morning everyone. Back to work, not feeling 100%, but i gotta get stuff done.

Sounds like the sub was wired down to 2ohms, and you bridged that on the amp, right? might be over driving the amp

I tried to replace my headunit in my truck last night for the 2nd time. still can't get audio out of it. Not sure wtf is up I'm using a harness, in fact i swapped to a 2nd harness to rule it out. ugh!!

I want a steak.

did somebody say steak???

actually just got a delivery of omaha steaks from my dad. I don't why he wastes his money on that crap. although the non-steak stuff is pretty good. Had Chicken Kiev last night that was banging!!

Their peppered choped steak wasn't bad.

The coils are wired in parallel which means 2 ohm? And the amp currently isn't bridged, the sub hits really hard so I am going to leave it alone.

it's not terrible food, just for the price it isn't anything special.

You'll get the most power wiring the sub in parallel and the amp in bridged but that is the most stressful configuration as well. Most of my amps are i think even 1 ohm stable so I don't have those issues. My freaky little tiny alpine amp is so pimptastically strong compared to the enormous orion I had growing up and it doesn't heat up at all. They've come a long way.

Not sure what kind of truck it is but it could be like my 540i is. The head unit in a 540i with DSP package actually sends digital audio front to rear (amp in the rear) making the speaker wires unused (and not even present!). When I upgraded the stock I had to run all new speaker wires and because it was a 14 speaker system I had to install a crazy crossover setup to distribute it all since I was no longer using the factory 14 channel amp as well.

it's a 98 daktota, at most it has 4 speakers. i imagined it would be a simple swap.

It should be. I bet it is something so stupid simple too. It always is when I can't figure something out that should be a walk in the park.

Thanks Mark. I'm not going to bridge anything because it already makes my rear view mirror go psycho.

I agree, i can plug the stock unit it, and the radio works just fine and audio comes out, i disconnect it, plug in my harness, the new head unit powers on and looks to be working fine but no sound at all!!! (this is the second head unit and second harness) i tried playing with the balance on the headunit to see if one side was maxed. it's just retarded!!

That's really odd. In a dakota and a prefab harness it should Just Work(tm)

Er wait. wrong person. fail on my part

yup i would agree. good thing i work for an audio visual company, gonna have one of the techs look at it.

Any good lunch plans?

Ham and cheese sandwich waiting for me in the breakroom... bam!

eh, maybe a cheese steak or a chicken parm. nothing to fancy.

I had a Steak & Cheese from Subway the other day, I was impressed it was Pretty good.

Everybody get a headsprung.


FML. I need a job..being drunk before noon on a weekday blows.

Now I just need $85K. Lets see...

I've seen them much cheaper then that Mark. I do love me the looks of the 360 though. Sames it is so weaksauce preformance wise.

They are only 3.6L v8? wtf.

Ferrari does know that pontiac even has a bigger v6 then that right?

Yes. they are the 3.6 V8.... but they when they rev its pure sex.

The miracles of destroking a engine. Silly americans dont get it

Weren't you doing some type of data entry?

We get it just fine... we like low end power. :)

Plus, how many reliable Ferraris have you seen?

fixed

If I had money you know it would have steelies with some snow tires for the winter months.

Yeah. It was a temp service deal though. BLOWS

Rosetta Stone => learn Spanish => apply at McDonalds.

Ferrari's are actually very reliable assuming you follow the service interval that requires $6K+ engine removals every 15K miles. Heh.

I've been interested in Mercedes lately and their C-Class cars. I don't know why but I never thought I'd go down that route.

Yet another reason to hate my job. HR is telling me that I am only approved for 78 hours of PTO a year and 40 hours of sick. My employement contract and my HR handbook says that I'm entitled to 104 houts of PTO(13 days) and 40 sick. HR is telling me that I used all my sick time for the year which is right but they are telling me I used 111.5 hours of PTO time when I in fact used 47.5(confirmed by my supervisor after we reviewed my pay stubs and her records).

I questioned this on 11/30 and just now they got to it. I took 2 days off last week because I was sick as a dog and decided to take 1 of them uppaid because I was told I didn't have time and the other I've been working late to make up the time. They basically screwed me out of a day of pay which pisses me off. I don't deathly need the money, it would be great and all, I'm not mad out of principle then anything else.

2 weeks into this headache with no solution. I'm about to just take next week off and then the first few days of the new year too. See how screwed they are when I'm out while others that actually wanted the holiday are already off.

YAYYYYY


If you seen the movie the Expendables then you should know number 2 is coming out....and im so excited for whose in it!!!!

yeah, i'm getting sick of my job here as well. no room for advancement. here's the scenrio going on here

i'm doing work above my paygrade. why? because the people who orignally did it retired, and i had to get trained and fill in. and due to the goverment planned cut backs, they won't promote me to the wage-grade level that the job normally asks for. Yet, other shops who's work had stopped coming in, started moving some of their people into my work shop, cause we have plenty of work. now, majority of these people are at a higher wage-grade then me. and also, with them moving into the shop, they fill the "requirments" of the needed wage-grades here, aka meaning no chance in hell period of promotion. and what sucks even more, i have to train this higher wage-grade's the job i just learned not even a week ago, and they still make $2.00-$5.00 more dollars and hour then i do.

:mad:
