Feeling chitty

[adulbrich 5,000+ posts]

Well after all this stress, time, and money, I'm not happy with my install. Doesn't have enough low end, even after making the port a lot longer.

Box specs are 30.4 cubes net (was 34.6 before I added more port length), 363.5 square inches of port area, and the port is 17 inches long. Judging by several online calculators, that should be tuned in the low 30's. (32-33ish)

the box seems solid, but I know everyone said that the plexi is my weak-point. I really do not want to scrap that part.

I doubt it could even do a small hairtrick right now. Hopefully I can fix it like I fixed my last install, with something minor.

On top of that, my personal life is really crappy right now. I had gotten chlamydia from my last ex, and didn't know it. I ended up transferring it to the girl of my dreams, who I had somehow managed to score. She had abdominal pain after we'd been fucking on the regular for a couple weeks. She went to the doctor, thinking it was just a urinary tract infection. They ran a bunch of tests, and that's how she found out she had it. Then I went and got tested, followed by my ex. Yep, it was from me.

Now she doesn't want to hang out with me anymore. Obviously, I understand why. I feel awful about the whole thing. We only began hanging out a lot after my last install. I was hoping to win her back with this one, but that's obviously not going to happen. I still really like and care about her :/

I have less than no money right now too.

On top of all this, I'm completely loaded down with a fuck-ton of homework right now. Also running on limited sleep

Figured I could vent here, because I don't know and will probably never meet most of you guys.

I just feel really shitty, physically and mentally.

Life sucks right now to say the least. I know I'm still young, but more than anything, I wish I could re-do life.

**** the build; put it on hold. It's getting too **** cold and dark to do CA stuff anyway unless you have a garage to work in (in which case I'm jelly af and you should carry on).

You should be focusing on school and rest. If you've got chlamydia your system's already fighting that, no need to get full blown sick with the addition of stress and cold. I can't say I blame the girl for wanting some space after getting an STI. Give her the space, heal up, and if you really dig her apologize up the ying-yang. Still, it's high school (you're still in HS, right?) You'll come to learn in the next year that high school is its own little bubble. Once you graduate and it bursts all the **** that happened there doesn't matter. People will all go their separate ways and you won't interact with most of them outside of Facebook. Some will move away, some will stay put, and plenty will get knocked up. They'll be other girls if this one doesn't pan out. Besides, give it five years - people will change completely. The girl of your dreams now probably won't be like that in a few years and your definition of the perfect woman will probably change too.

Never been in that deep of a spot you are jammed in but good luck.

I was your age when my gf gave me chlamydia. Gotta love the test - had to put my dick in some old woman's hand while she shoved a massive qtip up my pecker.

My first guess on the system would be air leak.

I don't have a big enough garage to fit my truck in and work on it comfortably.

I've already been treated about a month ago, and have since taken another test and tested negative. I don't have it anymore. I don't blame her, but I'm still sad about her losing feelings for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Yes I'm still in high school, and I actually don't have a Facebook

I know there will be a lot more girls in college, but I won't know their background. I don't want a wife who's been ran through by a bunch of guys. Growing up with people, secrets don't stay hidden. In college, a girl could have been a whore in high school, but lie and say she'd only been with a couple guys. To most of you, that doesn't matter. For some reason, it bothers me.

I would really like to find someone here who would go to Iowa with me.

I know what I want, but I probably won't get it :/

Thanks

My friend also got tested. He got what you described.

I on the other hand, just had to pee in a cup both times.

My first guess on the system would be air leak.

I'll look for one

Yeah man like umbra said you will be in college soon and it will be completely different and you will be entering into a whole new scene of people and friends. Only person I still talk to regularly from high school was my best friend from back in the day. I know it ***** now man, but I am about to graduate college and get into the real world. When I look back on high school its like looking at an ant. It might not seem like it now but a lot of stuff in high school doesn't matter and is such a small part of your life, but hope everything gets better man before you know it all this will just be a small thing in your past

There are people in way worst spots in life then where you are now. You will look back at this time in your life acouple years from now and be stronger that u made it threw. Your young. Homework and dirty puzzy and the end of the world. And the whole system thing... You can't just buy nice shlt and throw it together and hit it head on the nail every time. Everyone fails and a lot in car audio, it's part of the fun in learning.. The woofer positioning on your baffle and port placement and plexi glass and tunning all going to come into effect on this build.

Once you are on winter break spend a few nights just relaxing. Drink some beer and hang out with friends. You'll miss this time when it's gone.

The clap is treatable, its not bad as other stds. Hope you learn to think with the proper head rather than the brainless head that gets you in trouble

 

[AnthonyO 10+ year member]

Hang in there man. If you need someone to talk to you can always hit me up on PM and I will shoot you my number

 

[jboy2015]

Focus on school bro. Get into college and you will meet SOOOO many girls. I know it may seem like she was the one, but you'd be surprised how many girls you'll be compatible with. As you get older you evolve more as a person and somewhat change, I know it sounds weird rn, but in five years you'll be a different person.

Cliffs: life's too short to worry about a perfect build and one girl. She's not worth the chase if she's holding something out of your control against you. I'm sure you wouldn't do that to her, amiright?

 

[lew-e 10+ year member]

So she wasn't preggers.

If you weren't fukcing her and your ex at the same time then what does it matter to her that you gave her the clap? You didn't know. You did nothin wrong. Maybe next time listen in health class and wear a rubber? Sukc it up buttercup, that's life. Bithces ain't shti and you'll move on. She isn't worth the worry.

Go jack off and find a way to fix your truck

Thanks, I've buckled down and gotten most of my homework done

I've got a few good friends from my main school, and a lot at the vocational school that I go to during the second half of the day, but not a lot of people I hang out with outside of school anymore

I know some people have it worse. For school, I read about some stories from sweatshop workers and my situation doesn't seem bad in comparison.

Yes, there are a few obvious flaws with my build, but I really don't feel like tearing it all out and doing it over

1. It's getting cold outside

2. I actually really hate the installation process

3. It at least makes noise right now, and I hate not having music all the time

4. My mom is tired of all the sawdust and resin everywhere

Might do that

Yes, yes. I'm glad it's gone now. The brainless head has the most fun though :/

I wrapped it up *most* of the time with my last ex. Only did once with the new girl, the first time we did. The second time, I put on a condom, but she literally pulled it off me before I could put it in her.

Hang in there man. If you need someone to talk to you can always hit me up on PM and I will shoot you my number

Alright, thanks. I'll keep that in mind if things get worse

I know I should focus on school, but it sucks. I'm in a couple 6-weight classes that are kicking my butt right now though. 4-weight is normal, 5-weight is advanced, and 6-weight is college level with certified teachers. If college is going to be this hard, I'm not looking forward to it :/

I really want to get my truck perfect (although we all know you can never be done with it). I don't think it's fair that she's holding it against me either, but I understand that the whole process was a lot worse for her and it's viewed as worse for a girl to get an STD. She was really shaken up by it, and had to tell her mom about everything.

No, I wouldn't hold it against her if it was from her. Maybe I've always felt stronger about her though, and I'm just not worth it to her anymore.

Nope, not pregnant like you guessed several times.

If that was the case, you'd see all my gear of for sale cheap and "No Trades"

I did wrap it up with m ex most of the time, but the new girl had implanted birth control and didn't want me to wear a condom. It's hard to say no. I will with the next girl though.

Trying to fix my truck, but can't figure it out

I turned the gain up and used less of the volume today.

It seems way different, and I'm getting more lows for sure. However, in the short run to the grocery store and back, I didn't really play anything super low. Nothing hard decaf yet, but I'll try it later today.

I don't know if messing with the gain ratio did anything, or if it was something else. Who knows, could have been the fumes messing with me yesterday that made me feel so awful. Either way, I'm happier about it today

 

[ciaonzo 5,000+ posts]

You'll be fine, little dude.

Alright, now. No more of this audio shit in the dome.

 

[dbjunior 10+ year member]

I'd shrink port area instead of add length it will lower tuning while keeping box volume and increase port velocity for moving air (hair tricks). Then maybe you can blow chicks cloths off lol (Italian job quote).

I used to worry about girl's past. Trust me, there are 100s of posts and threads by me to say so...some of which I didn't delete. As you get older and more experienced, you get your own past. Just like you don't think about those girls, she doesn't think about those guys. The best way, at least for me, to not worry about it is to even the score, so to speak. As for the clap, it looks like you go that taken care of and the system stuff will pass. You will find new friend groups and new hobbies. I know you don't believe me, but you will change and grow more in your next 5-10 years than your previous 20. It's okay not to believe me, I wouldn't have believed me either.
