Calculated dB of my Obsidian 15..

i hate it that he can hold all this **** over my head, but i gotta admit i got it pretty good.

look dont take this the wrong way.

Your dad is your dad. It is kind of his responsibility to help you in college. I'm willing to bet he is 45 or over. Most people from that era are so hard headed and know it all its not funny. You make money for yourself. If he wants to come between that then you need to take a step back and think about it. There is no reason at all he should be in control of the money YOU make. Just be quick and blunt about it. Don't be too harsh but just tell him you have worked for it. If that doesnt help. Well. Be more harsh.

If its the one Skip01 posted...the OA was a tenth louder than the SA on about the same power. Also just a tenth behind an HDC on about 1200 less watts. I dont see how that says it "sucks". //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

agreed. it holds its own. i don't rele like how tight the oa sounds tho. like on rumbles and rele low lows it doesn't sound the best.... and on continuous low bass it sounds kinda funny. (I'm not knocking oa cuz i love my obsidian)

yeah thanks man. I've told him like what if i had stayed in sports and not had a job? then i would have any money and ud be paying for it all. so i think he would pay the half either way. his argument is, why should he be saving up for me and going without some of the stuff he wants if I'm not saving.. buts its like okay if I'm paying off my student loans for a little longer after school it won't be super bad. plus i have some money still and work through college. so i don't see the big deal. I'm paying my half either way so y does it matter? and yeah he is super stubborn...

im not gunna screw myself like that lol. he owns the car and is paying for half of my college... so id end up losing in the end... imma tell him that i need a new bat for sure cuz the dude at auto zone said mine wasn't doing the best lol. how long do stock batts normally last?

Batts in general last many years if maintained properly. I still got a deka that is well over 3 years old that I have beat on for all those years and still rest right around 12.6v after a week or so after taking off charger. But I trickle all my batts atleast once a month. Never hurts to top them off. Sure as heck does not hurt..

Time to get out on ur own my friend.. Life waits for no one... Mom kicked me out when I was 16 and not a day has gone by that I am not thankful for this. I assure you that you become a man real quick when all you got is yourself to count on...

Nope no package yet.. No big hurry here though. Still got a LOT to do before I get anything installed. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Well this batt is 3 or 4 years old now.. and I rele wanna get a diehard platinum for under the hood. And my dad isn't dumb. So I wanna tell him that I need to buy a new one and I might as well get a good one. So would this be resinable to say?

So what your saying is that sound "volume" is expontential, not linear?

If u need a new one then well u need a new one. Have fun trying to tell ur dad that ur replacement batt is 300 bucks which is bout the price of the g31 Platinums.. Doubt he is that stupid being walmart has wet cells that fit ur car for well under 100 bucks

Tracking nuumbers also cost money and when shipping on ur dime ever penny counts... Items in box are free items so I saw no reason to spend any extra as it was already 13 bucks...

I was assuming it was a high dollar item.
