You must really be in your own world You bounce from one topic to another faster than a bullet.



Sure its a great if your working on high voltage lines... course were not... and I VERY HIGHLY DOUBT southern california would go black if YOU weren't there.
I design fiber optic networks but none of that is going to help me here, is it?
Since no one else has asked, I will... Please take you and your high and mighty attitude, and leave and don't come back. People like you make me sick.

 

i never said i knew it all, i consider myself as a noob. if there is something that i know is a myth, why should i not respond? anyways, this dumb arguement has been going on long enough.

darknight, NFR and whoever else has something to say... good luck with your systems. if anyone got offended, i never meant for this to get out of hand.
one thing i do know, if one of you(NFR, PJK3, Darkknight) ever post for help, and if i knew the answer to your question, im going to keep it to myself. obviously, PJK3, NFRs2000 and darkknight know the answer to all 100% of car audio. you guys are experts!

 

they wouldn't go black without me, but without the physics, they will be. Before we ever do anything, we discuss what will work and what will not work. If all what you're telling me is true and if i pass it on to them, they'll look at me is if i said the ohm law does not exist.


fiber optic networking will help as people are taking their stock headunit to modify it with digital output. It's a benefit because you have less chance of inducing noise into the system. Fiber optic will definitely work in a car.


You said you do not care how many CCA the battery has but care how long it will last for show... We are on the topic of discussing starter batteries, not reserves. If lasting how long is important to you, I suggest getting a secondary battery rather than eating up your reserve from the primary.

Ever think about what is more important to zro260? Ask him if he rather have his car start in an extreme climate or having it last longer when the system is off.

 

Dude,... shut up already.... please for the love of god YOU are the only person talking about starter batteries. I live in MA... its going to be 17' tonight at my house... its pretty cold.

But please for the love of god let it go... I can take hearing this anymore.

 

You and ATF Kuk are the gods of the audio industry I don't know what I was thinking, even trying to talk to you. You know it all already and you have nothing left to learn. Your smart I'm stupid... your right I'm wrong...

Happy now kid...

 

i don't care if you said ur wrong. I'm not looking to win a battle or anything. That is not my point.



quoted from zro260 himself:

uh..i guess i shouldn't be talking about starter battery because zro260 doesn't need it..after all..you're definitely on topic if i'm the only one talking about it.

if you can't take it, then stop looking at this thread and replying to it. No one is asking for you to reply. You did it on your own will.

got it? thanks kid.

 

hahahahaha, classic....

 

*sigh*

i remember what it was like when i was full of piss and vinegar and thought i knew just about everything....










then i grew up.



guys, i'm done w/ this thread and both GSteg and ATF Kuk.
i did some quick searches and as best i can tell, neither of you own S2000's (not that it really matters), you both seem to be well acquainted IRL, conflict seems to follow you into about every thread, you constantly accuse everyone of not knowing (and then claim true understanding), and base all your 'knowledge' on what appears to be street related experience.

hardly a resume for expertise i'm afraid.

in some ways, both of you seem like nice enough guys... really you do.
and yet, you both come across as pompous arrogant asses, and like John called it: you sure do seem to both be pretty young... not that youth alone is a crime.

me? 15+ years of sound equipment experience, covering home and car audio sales, home and car audio installation, pro-level sound mixing and installation (live and studio), professional radio work, and more that i've probably forgotten.
i also have dual degrees in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering, with minors in Linguistics and Physics.

so, yeah, i may know a thing or two. and i'm sure i've forgotten more than a few things in my years...




what did you guys have going for ya again?
ya know, never mind even answering... i'm sure it's somehow more or better or whatever...

 

im not even going say negative things anymore. they are uneccessary, and if i have to be the first one to do this, you older folks need a reality check. thats the truth.

with my reply to this, "i did some quick searches and as best i can tell, neither of you own S2000's (not that it really matters), you both seem to be well acquainted IRL, conflict seems to follow you into about every thread, you constantly accuse everyone of not knowing (and then claim true understanding), and base all your 'knowledge' on what appears to be street related experience" it is not meant to be offensive but to give insight from another view.

we do not own s2k's does it matter? conflict does not follow us. it may seem that way since we only give insight on topics we feel are neccessary. what is neccessary you might ask. seperating myths from truth and helping others. as it seems that most of my posts turn out to be arguements, do not overlook the fact that i may or have tried to help others. although there are less helpful ones than arguing ones, i feel that suggestions only need to be said a few times. there is no point in helping when someone is already getting help. answer me this, is there a point in posting in a topic when it is uneccessary? there are not many topics left unanswered, so i feel that i dont need to respond with something when it is not neccessary. there are topics where i do not know the answer to a problem, so should i respond to that as well. i only respond when i feel i should. please do not overlook my attempts to be helpful in this forum.

if you take a look at this thread, https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=255940
this is an example of what i am trying to say. i am the first one to reply to his post. if i was to be the 3rd post, i would not bother.

even though i hate alpine, did i steer him away from them? no, if he wants alpine he wants alpine. it is what he wants. i feel all of my suggestions are unbiased. i feel my approach in the first post was the best that it can be. i looked at his needs, not mine. i notice a lot members reccommend what their own system consists of. also, im sure that most of you who do that, do not try to think about what the person wants. just as long as you think it is good.

im not even going to respond to the rest of your topic, i have nothing nice to say back. it would be better if it is left unsaid.

in my deepest honest feeling, i do not want to argue about worthless crap. everyone has made their points. it is dumb to argue about stupid crap, and if any of you cannot agree with that, you need to check yourself.

happy holidays.

 

The bottom line is, some advice you give on this board, not owning an s2000 does make a difference.

You bashed my audiobahns like no tomorrow....and say how crappy they are, but for the s2000 they are MUCH better than your ARC audio.

What, you think I cant afford arc audio in my car? You think I think that audiobahn is the best amp in the world?

The s2000 needs a certain kind of sound. THere is no point of having good amps in this car. You wont hear the difference. THe is no point of 600 dollar speakers in this car, so when I say "perfects, mid line focals, or alpine is the best" I mean for this application. THis is assumed because this is an s2000 forum.

We have discussions here about our "dream" car systems, and we talk about brands that not only have most people never heard of, with technologies that no one has ever seen, and prices that cost more than the car itself.


WHen you say to someone looking for amps, "Audiobahn sucks, get Brax" that isnt very helpful.

Fact of the matter is, when I say, my amps have run FLAWLESSLY for 2 years, sound great, and put out LOTS of power even when half a$$ed, and you say they suck and they are garbage, that makes me sound like a retard.

No "expert" will say anything sucks. EVeryone on this forum who knows me knows I hate JL and I think they "suck"

But my suck (with the exception of the W7, I think they just plain suck)...is different. When I say something sucks, it means that a better product is available for LESS money. Their customer service sucks.

Meanwhile, I praise audiobahn...why? Because they sound good enough for the s2000, their customer service is awesome, they dont break, and they are not expensive. This is why I pass along that I recommend them. I wouldnt ever recommend JL for their bad customer service alone.

Anyway, you have to think about these things before you recommend stuff. Arc audio is good stuff, but they have the worst a$$holes in the world working there.

Jim (PAs2kNUT) had a soundstream amp that didnt work, twice, and Soundstream replaced it for him without problems. Try to get that from Arc.

You speak the way they do on the BMW boards. They all put in BRAX 1000000000 watts amps, and focal platinum diamond gold speakers, and their cars sound like garbage because the components dont go well together. All they did was shove name brands into their car.

Please just remember that there are people who have been in the game longer than you, and who know more than you. And never discount what they say.

Now, Gsteg.

The Yellow top has 590CCA. The Red Top has 600CCA.

Yes, the red top is recommended (and I dont see anyone here arguing this) for cars that need to sit for a long time, in the cold or what not, with STOCK ELECTRONICS.

THE red top WILL BE DRAINED more than a yellow if your car is full of electronics (part of which is always on) if left for 3 days in the cold.

But I am tired of this arguement. Its pointless, and you are just plain 100% wrong here.
