• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    Sounds like the installers didn't like you picking their brains without getting compensation, one cannot blame them for this at all. If you know how to use a 'scope then it sounds like you're quite knowledgeable. I'm confused about this feedback you mentioned and that a 47-ohm resistor is...

    Which Battery tender works best - OptiMate 3 or the Battery Tender Junior?

    I've been using a Battery Tender Jr on all of my vehicles since 2015. I don't always get a chance to drive each vehicle as much as I'd like to, so I move the tender around between them all. Each gets 7 days on the tender before I move it to the next one. This has served me well over the years...

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    If you already know what the speaker's impedance is, 4 ohms, that's the load on the amp, per channel, right? Feedback? What? Can you elaborate on that?

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    Are there any markings on the speakers themselves that would indicate the impedance?

    Audio Upgrade - Does anyone know what specific load the amp is looking for?

    I know very little about the audio system on the Spyder, so please forgive this question. Are the speakers connected directly to the amp(s)? If so, you can measure the resistance of each speaker to determine the load. Yes, I know that measuring the resistance of a speaker with a DMM isn't...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Awesome! I'm at 12.5 years at the moment. I retired 1/1/2014 after 30 years. I'm aiming for being retired longer than I have had to work. Gotta make it another 18 years for that, so far so good.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    You didn't know that Chicago is in Illinois? 🤯 I'm also retired but I manage to keep track of what day it is, my wife makes sure of this. :ROFLMAO: During my exam, when the nurse asked me to draw a clock, I asked her if I could draw a digital clock, she said to knock myself out as long...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Oh yeah, the Medicare annual wellness check, as opposed to a real physical exam. They also want to know if you can draw a clock and set the hands to show 10:45am. Then they give you a number of words and ask you to remember and recall them on command, while you're drawing the flippin clock! The...

    The 'bargain' tree service showed up yesterday to work on the above-mentioned tree. By 'bargain' I mean that they did not have a bucket lift, instead, a 'brave' soul climbed the tree using spikes attached to his legs and a small chainsaw hanging from his belt. Crazy as the tree was VERY tall and...
