On everything

#

And like 4% on gas

#

And groceries

#

Free monies

distant forge
#

ive only got a debit card rn but my scholarship funds are mixed in with my debit money so i have to keep a record of every purchase i make to avoid misappropriating funds

#

since i only get like $150 a month

fallow ridge
#

Ah ye

distant forge
#

soon to be more now that i've got a job working IT for the engineering college

#

tho it'll muck up my budget notebook process a bit

#

since i wont have a fixed starting balance anymore

fallow ridge
#

When I worked IT in school I got paid peanuts

distant forge
#

they're paying me above minimum wage

vital glen
#

I don't buy enough to warrant the fees at the end of the month

distant forge
#

granted min wage is only $7.25 here

#

and they're gonna pay me $8

vital glen
#

Lol

fallow ridge
#

Oof

distant forge
#

yea

#

thanks mississippi ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

vital glen
#

Cheap housing though

distant forge
#

ehh

#

not in a college town

fallow ridge
#

Definitely cheap

distant forge
#

predatory apartment leases

fallow ridge
#

Oh yea

#

It was like that 20 years ago

#

It'll always be like that

distant forge
#

they corner you into year long leases and murder you with fines if you leave after the semester ends

#

since they bank on rich parents paying their kids leases

fallow ridge
#

Rent from private landlords

#

I rented from a nice family

#

250$ a month for a room in the bay area

distant forge
#

luckily i wont have to deal too much with apartments for a while, i need a cheap one for the summer but after that ill be in a dorm again

#

the one im looking at is $400 a month

fallow ridge
#

Your rent costs as much as I pay a month for my parking spot

distant forge
#

wtfff

vital glen
#

Lok

#

Loo

#

Lol

distant forge
#

my parking is only $160 a year here

fallow ridge
#

It's actually cheaper now cuz I drive a volt to worj

#

Work

#

It used to be like 650

#

It's dumb

#

I remote in a lot anyways so I park there maybe twice a week

#

But I don't want to deal with the headache of looking for parking

#

Whenever I drive through UCLA I'm reminded by how stupid college fees are

#

$8 an hour for parking lmaooo

distant forge
#

ew

fallow ridge
#

I might relocate to Texas tho

#

SO is looking for better jobs

#

Cheaper living

fallow ridge
#

I was looking at a huracan or a r8 v10

vital glen
#

coral linden
#

fallow ridge
#

It's basically a huracan

#

It's NA so it'll be less of a headache

#

But it'll still be there

vital glen
#

Murcielago LP640 > hurracan

fallow ridge
#

vital glen

vital glen
#

StOp BeInG PoOr

fallow ridge
#

Ye probably

coral linden
#

I should convince my uncle to buy a 720 and I'll buy his 12c

vital glen
#

They put one family into ldebt at my old school

fallow ridge
#

coral linden
#

my dad had a lincoln mark v

#

But I don't have time to go to the track

fallow ridge
#

its comfortabel tho

#

comfortable

#

meager grove
#

So maybe a small sports car like a Miata or an F type

fallow ridge
#

f types are beautiful

meager grove
#

Can't really put the power down in a Porsche on public roads

#

Might test drive it

fallow ridge
#

meager grove
#

Hell yeah dude

fallow ridge
#

i was cross shopping

meager grove

That's cool cause you have the thrill of the high revs and changing gears without really going that fast

fallow ridge
#

ye ye

#

it was either an f type or the gsf

#

or a bmw m5

meager grove
#

M5 is soo scary

Unless you get the new one with 4wd

#

I drove an f10 m5

Such a nervous car

fallow ridge
#

the m5 is actually

a lot slower than the gsf

its rwd

meager grove
#

Oh really?

#

Damn

fallow ridge
#

@distant forge how often do you charged the prius?

the combustion engine charges the hybrid batteries

Oof, glad to hear you're good. Accidents are scary. How fast were they going when they hit you?

about 20, maybe 30 because I gunned it to avoid

@wanton urchin so they went 30 and you went?

@vital glen I was going prolly 15-20, spotted them and gunned it to try and avoid, which brought me to (guessing) 20-30

I have not. But basically no other car uses a single clutch transmission anymore.

I think Koenigsegg used single clutch for their Agera. But the power level between that and the Aventador is 'slightly' different.

agile sonnet
#

@round holly you figure out your amp/sub issues? As far as I can tell you have a Kenwood amp (way underrated for the sub you're pushing) and a 1200W sub? Do you have a link to the sub? I have no direct experience telling me so, but I've always heard it's not good to underpower a subwoofer that's expecting more power. Seems silly to me on account of...you know...quiet songs and quiet parts, but I dunno.

round holly
#

You're never supposed to run a sub at it's full power, you always run it with an amp under it's power limiting, and bridge it if necessary, otherwise the sub will blow up. Either way this sub is the problem, it was repaired before I owned it and they did it incorrectly, so I'm going to repair it myself.

agile sonnet
#

You still match your amp and sub power levels. You avoid burning it up by not listening at full volume (unless you have a clean, distortion free signal) all the time and having an appropriately set gain so you don't clip your signal.

#

A sub that's rated for 500W RMS will handle 500W pretty much all day. But the dynamic changes in music make it so it's never really getting that high of power for very long. Similarly, you can definitely overpower it for a short while (using say a 600W amp so it the amp doesn't have to work as hard). Again, proper gains make the difference.

#

I use the 500W example since I have a 500W Kenwood amp in my Jeep pushing a Rockford Punch 10" sub that's rated for 500W RMS. I've hammered on this setup for about four years now without any issue. I have the gain set on the conservative side and don't turn the radio up high enough to cause signal distortion (my weak link the entire setup is the deck). Pay attention to RMS power and ignore peak power, it's a bullshit number that's just there to attention grab and make people think their system is more power than it is.

#

That said, if you have a kenwood 1200W sub, it's actually probably 350W - 400W RMS, so look at getting into that range if you need to replace the amp. Just make sure it'll handle the impedance load of your sub. For example, my RF is a dual voice coil with each coil being 2ohm, so I have them in series to have a 4ohm load. I had the amp before this subwoofer, as I had a free 12" 4ohm Phoenix Gold Xmax. Ended up putting a hole in the surround and decided I just wanted something smaller that I could tuck away into a trim panel, so I bought a sub that would match the 4ohm load of my amp. I wish I would have instead got an amp that did 500W at 2ohm and got the version of my sub with 4ohm voice coils and put them in parallel. Now if I ever want to upgrade my amp and run it in a 1ohm load...most amps designed for a 1ohm load are pushing a lot more power than I need.
