Funny enough. I was known as a troll slayer on Supramania and Supraforums. As long as it is OFC copper with enough strands to be flexible for your application, the sizing big enough to not be to much a voltage drop concern and the jacket of said cable can withstand the temperature it will...

Which part? The 2200 watt power rating? From Tilton directly. or you mean the 1.2k-1.4kw power rating of OEM? This is on average. As an example, BMW M5 (18) use a 1.6kw starter (higher than the range i posted) From an 93-98 2j Supra, 1.4kw. Now if you are implying the ******** is the...

It depends on the starters. Most OEM starters hover around 1200 watts to 1400watts. You can get away with 4 gauge no problem. Just know that extended start cycles is going to warm the cable up. Not dangerous melting range but it will be noticeable to the touch. Aftermarket starters I have seen...

bluetooth operates on the 2.4Ghz spectrum. It overlaps the WiFi signal base frequency except WiFi is stronger. Just a smidge lower on the frequency is XM Satellites which are Geosynchronous... they are constantly plastering North America with those frequencies 24/7. Just slightly down on the...

Living next door in MN, i would separate and use things like craigslist, offerup, facebook marketplace. I have sold lots with post from Facebook Market place but I do not use the fb payment terms (you have to wait until the buyer recieves items and confirms that). Paypal goods and services and...

queue the goat!

Just like mr Why Not Minot above, back when I was in Grand Forks, let the carm warm up before turning up the music. Honestly though, on cold weather, i do not turn it up to listent to when the car was on clear road vs black ice. Two totally distinctive sounds. On cold, the speakers WILL be much...

Just an FYI uncompressing of a FLAC/APE etc container is done by the CPU as the DAC does not have the capability to decompress containers. Lossless compression containers tax the ever living hell out of CPU Utilization %.

Been selling online through forums (Toyota Supra stuff), facebook market place, craigslist, offerup/letitgo A couple of items i do on both selling and buying. As a seller, 1. as-is, where is on items. If electronics i make video time stamped to show condition and if working. Any issues once...

Then it was whatever was unpacking it that made it sound like hot garbage. Like any lossless compression algorithm. FLAC does not throw away ANY information that is relevant meaning that what ever is in the FLAC container is what was originally in whatever media was compressed into the flac...

Also just for clarification, oem harness design put the ignition and fuel injectors feeding from +12vdc but there is a relay to turn on both lines and both are usually seperately fused. Also most OEMS spliced the +12v lines for both injectors and coils. Run a temporary wire to #8 to +12vdc and...

too add, Joying is one of the few current units that are available in the US that has copper digital out (Sony RSX-GS9 is limited to optical, please correct if I am incorrect). It is the whole Pioneer ODR Reduex of a by gone era. This matters if wanting to feed a digital signal into a DSP...

So funny you mentioned Android head units The general consensus is that the Android Headunit OWN the big maker in SQ due to digital out from the HU (Joying specifically). In the US, short of the Sony RSX-GS9, there are not a lot of HU with digital out which is necessary for full bit bandwidth...

My Current HU is Pioneer But I have owned Alpine and Eclipse.

CCA = Copper Clad aluminum OFC = Oxygen free copper CCA will incur a resistance increase for the same exact gauge as OFC as there is not enough frequency to use "skin effect" on power transmission lines which is where the copper is available. If you plan the system right you are able to use...
