That’s not a squirrel in my eccentric family!

That’s why it’s telling you to keep it shut.
It’s not used to the quirky kind.

Most who have tried that in person face a polite but lengthy briefing on the nature if expression.

You can imagine the length and detail from the time I was asked ‘what does a cuppa mean?’. 3 hours later, they grasped all.

A friendly reminder ( political posts)

This is just a reminder of ELRs stance on political posts. I’ll repost Lars words regarding this .

Hello everyone!

I just want to address the issue that has been raised here on the forum lately. Politics.

Discussing politics can be polarizing and divisive. We are a forum of DIY e-liquid mixers, and that is our main goal. Everyone, even complete beginners, should feel safe about posting questions and other stuff regarding e-liquid mixing.

We are a community if DIY’ers. But we are also all social animals and would like to talk to like minded people about something other than what this site was created for, so we have The Pub where you can discuss music and other non-polarizing subjects and that is fine.

This is also an international forum. While American politics can be interesting (for many reasons), far from everyone wants to read or hear about it.

While it is possible to have a discussion and debate over politics and still be friends and civil to each other, political posts should be somewhere where no one but the ones seeking it would see it. Henceforth, topics regarding politics should be made in The Saloon . And even then, you should consider the contents of your post before posting. We don’t want 10 new political threads per day. We want perhaps one or two threads where people that feel the need, can debate each other (we might even have suitable threads there already). Of course they can always debate in a private message (even more than two people).

We also have the Discord chatroom (which I really should visit more often).

Political posts with regards to vaping could be considered OK, but I’ll leave that up to your own consciense (and to our hard working moderators).

Flag the posts that you feel shouldn’t be in view of everyone and the moderators will consider it, and will possibly magically be teleported somewhere in The Saloon .

Also, if you read something that you don’t like - either flag it or ignore it. You do not have to react to everything. If you don’t like ice cream, you don’t stand outside the ice cream parlor screaming that you do not want ice cream. Nor do you, if you like ice cream, stand outside and try to force people to eat ice cream. That would just be weird.

Give love. Receive love

Happy vaping, family!

Lars

I know some people are new so you wont understand where this is coming from. The members that were here during this time will remember this . Posts will be moved if OP doesn’t if there isnt a thread dedicated they will be removed

Thank You

For @SmilingOgre …

@SmilingOgre the install/soundproofing pics are still being located.

Independent amp kill switches, and obligatory 45 Hz. boost.

Boston Pro 6.5" components H. Passed @ 65 Hz. Yes, 65 Hz. They go below that.

Back in the day even 11 CD’s was never enough. 1 in the chamber, 10 in the mag …

RF Power 500 AB for the components …

Twin 8" Boston Pro Subs, in a 0.70 cu ft sealed, reinforced, deadened enclosure …

RF Power 1000 BD with a .5F CAP for the subs …

All in, I have about 480w going to the mains, and 1200w to the subs. I have all the crossovers run by the head unit, with 24 dB slopes.

Swept the truck with an analyzer and by manipulating the crossover slopes, points, and the on board 5 channel EQ I was able to dial it in tight. No flat, but tight.

AND, it’s completely stealth …

That’s some very impressive work you have done there, well done

SmilingOgre · August 28, 2023, 12:15am

Looks just as stellar over here! Your tight from 300hz down. 300 to 700hz is under control and not causing mud. 2k is bringing out clarity. You’re home! No need for flat. And then there’s me. 6K drives me bat shit!! Nails on a chalkboard. So when you do my installation, I will want the 6k attenuated by 9 db, lol.

SquirrelSmash · August 28, 2023, 12:45am

Will you enforce this rule for all?

SessionDrummer · August 28, 2023, 12:54am

Thank you very much @Lucas_James_Holden. It took way more planning than I wanted to.

SessionDrummer · August 28, 2023, 12:59am

Hehe, yeah it is @SmilingOgre.

Roger that Walt. You sure you don’t want me to set it at 0 ??

Stankhammer · August 28, 2023, 1:43am

I saved up a couple pay cheques back in the day to get some Boston acoustics mids and highs with crossovers for my Datsun/Nissan Stanza. I just sold an Orion 222sx.

I believe i have . If you would like to prove that I havent than be my guest. I may miss something and if i do then others can bring it to my attention. This is getting old though. You know the policy, you have flagged others for politcal posts. The only time you want to challenge it is when your posts are flagged or removed. Im pretty confidant that the majority of members will also say i have enforced for all, some will even say im too strict. Follow the rules there will be no issues. Now i am done talking about this with you . This seems to come up every couple of months as if you arent sure of the policy.
