[QUOTE="metalheadjoe, post: 8862207, member: 581422"] My late grandmother used to say, "smile and write the check", which means "pay others to do things you cannot do or don't want to do". NEC is written by NFPA because electricity is dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, but it's tamable if you understand it. Bottomline: don't do anything yourself if you can't afford to fix the worst case scenario fuckup. This forum is still a shitshow. There are way too many idiots parroting things they heard online. Everything from "gain isn't volume" to "alternator over battery", when they don't know the concept of either. That's not a shot at you; it's cliches that any smart person can tell are catch phrases. I had a discussion with "sparkeded" on youtube (formerly "showtimespl") in the comment section. He couldn't differentiate between gain and volume. The forum needs a section devoted to baseline knowledge and proven facts. Posts like "which sub is better" are subjective and deserve to be argued; posts such as "do I have enough electrical power" should require personal experience over theory. To your questions: YES, I absolutely compel people to do their own research. YES, I absolutely think everyone who does their own work is at the fate of their own hand. YES, I absolutely believe in the freedom of speech. YES, I absolutely believe everyone is capable of reading and understanding everything I say. [/QUOTE]
