Why do people talk so much smack on Pyramid car audio?

Cletus Makler: The reason is because Pyramid is an inexpensive brand. Kids tend to buy and judge things because of a brand and not because if it functions. I can assure you they do not understand what makes a car system better than other if they couldn't see the brands.

Luke Kosch: My biggest problem with Pyramid is their marketing practices.Here's an example: http://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-PB3818-Channel-Bridg...Pyramid markets that amplifier as a "5000-watt" amp. They go so far as to print that number on the chassis. The entire point is to attract inexperienced, uneducated buyers; because a moderately informed buyer would realize immediately that that the 5000-watt rating is ridiculous. If you haven't done any research, a 5000-watt amp for under $100 seems like an amazing deal. If you've educated yourself, though, it's an insult to your intelligence. You won't find the real power rating on any of the web sites that sell the amplifier. You have to go to the ma! nufacturer's web site, download the owner's manual, and look on the last page to find the real rated power: 100 watts per channel at 4 ohms, 200 watts per channel at 2 ohms. (I'll give Pyramid this much credit: at least you can find the real power rating if you look for it. Some manufacturers won't even give you a realistic power rating in the owner's manual). I'm even more annoyed with them when I look at their wiring kits, like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Pyramid-PBIN3-Amplifier-Inst... I've used these kits, and the power wire doesn't match the rated wire gauge. It's a thin conductor with an extra-thick jacket to make the wire look bigger. This is potentially dangerous, because the included fuse is what you'd use if the wire gauge was as advertised--in other words, a person using this wire in an application that requires 8-gauge could overheat the wire and cause a fire.So that's my problem with Pyramid: cheap, over-rated equipment and accessories, marketed to ! attract uneducated buyers. They're what everyone buys when th! ey don't know any better.Now, having said that: car audio "snobs" annoy me just about as much as deceptive marketing.The cheap equipment manufacturers have their place. Many people put together their first audio systems with Pyramid and Legacy and Boss equipment, and learn as they go. Some of them catch the car audio "bug" and work toward better audio systems. I think your niece should be very proud that she's funded a system she's happy with, through her own hard work. I think you should be proud of the work you did installing it, if it looks good and works well and gets the sound quality she likes. Yes, it's cheap equipment; but millions of people buy it and are happy with it, just like your cousin. Personally, I'm more impressed with an entry-level system, well-installed and funded through the owner's hard work, than with a flashy name-brand system purchased with Daddy's money....Show more

Adan Alipio: The sound of a subwoofer has more to do with the subwoofe! r box than the sub itself. You built a custom box, so you are ahead of the game when it comes to the sound. The problem you are going to have is longevity. Especially with that amplifier. You will be lucky is the amp works for more than six months before it fails.

Chanda Wittwer: Back in the mid 80's when I first started I couldn't afford Rockford Fosgate/Orion, not even MTX.. My first real amp was a Pioneer GMA-120, 30 watts X2 RMS @ 4 ohm mixed with a Radio Shack 40 watt booster I had a couple of old home speakers in the back of a 1982 Toyota Starlet..lol.. You know what? I thought it sounded great! The hell what anybody else thought....

What does it mean to buy a car at wholesale?

Delphine Cajka: It should mean at the price the dealer paid for the car. It could also be the price paid for the car at an auto auction. And it could be just another way of making you think you are getting a good deal. Look up the value of the car in the bluebook for autos. You can find it on line.

Ronny Nowzari: What Is A Wholesale Car

Monroe Rainey: whole sale means your buying it usually at dealer cost or below,and yes that is a good way to buy a car,its the cheapest way to buy one, not everyone can get them at this price though,usually they are marked up by the time you get a chance to buy them,wholesale is the cheap price,good luck.

Malcom Fenoff: that is the place where dealers buy the cars they fix them and put them on sale.... at wholesale also the cars are cheaper.....

wich boat should i decide on?

Laveta Fathy: Get the 14 make sure it has a title and no leaks and the transom is tight.

Jeff Frizzell: sail boat

Rosalva Steinmann: If the water is generally choppy you'll be much happier w/ a V Hull. A flat bottom is fun on glass but will beat you around and you'll regret it.

Lenard Ginyard: The V-hull is better in a light chop.Hope this helps.

Piedad Bassiti: 1. dont make a desicion either way until you have tested the vessel(s) in the water and ensured they see, to work properly.once you've decided which you like best, take it to a qualifed marine tech for a mechanical inspection and know exactly what your buying before you do.2. the choppier the water is the bigger boat you need in order to be remotely stable. too much chop in too little of a boat and you will be sinking.3. v hull is generally stabler in rougher water then flat hull. but flat hull is generally better for getting into tight spots and shallow waters where some fish are easiest t! o find, and those are generally calmer more sheltered waters.however, overall size is also part of stability. while v hull are more stable then flat bottom hulls of the same size, they arent always more stable then a larger flat bottomed vessel. this is something that testing them out on the water will be the best way to figure out....Show more

Norma Marsalis: The "nautical" rule of thumb is:Every man needs 1 foot of boat length for every year of his age. Stop only at the point you can't take it out safely, all by yourself.Johntranslation: get the bigger boat....Show more

Comment créer une pose de super héros dans Poser

Comment créer une pose de super héros dans Poser

Pour articuler la bouche, utilisez plusieurs cadrans. Réglez la bouche O sur « 0,616 », les lèvres ouvertes sur « 0,692 » et le sourire sur « 1,689 » pour compléter le mauvais sourire.

Sélectionnez la tête. Utilisez le Worry Left et le Worry Right pour faire paraître ses sourcils maléfiques. Un réglage négatif le fera. J’ai utilisé « -1.61 » et « -1.41 » pour un look extrême. Essayez de ne pas rendre la gauche et la droite symétriques. Des traits parfaitement symétriques ne se retrouvent pas dans la vie réelle et peuvent être un signal d’alarme que votre pose (ou image finale) est générée par ordinateur.

Une fois que vous avez fait ceci, c’est toujours une bonne idée de « remettre la pose à zéro ». Cela signifie qu’il faut confirmer que tous les réglages sont à leur position par défaut et que tous les ca! drans de paramètres sont mis à zéro (0).

Pour déplacer l’avant-bras gauche en position, sélectionnez-le. Réglez la molette de réglage Bend sur « -26 ». Faites pivoter légèrement le bras en réglant la molette latérale à latérale sur « 1 ».

Cliquez sur la hanche. Vous ne pouvez pas exécuter la fonction suivante si vous n’avez rien sélectionné.

Lorsque vous posez une silhouette, il est préférable de travailler du milieu vers l’extérieur (des hanches aux bras et aux doigts). Pour cette raison, vous devez désactiver la cinématique inverse.

Sélectionnez l’avant-bras droit. Réglez le sélecteur rotatif sur « -2 », le sélecteur latéral sur « -7 » et le sélecteur rotatif sur « 29 ».

Pour faire correspondre la main au bras, sélectionnez la main droite et entrez une valeur « 10 » d’un côté à l’autre et une valeur « -16 » d’un pli.

Choisir le bon jarret. Utilisez le réglage « ! 153 » pour ramener le pied vers le bas.

Cliquez sur le! cou. Puisque vous le pliez vers l’arrière, vous devez utiliser un nombre négatif. Je suggère de régler le cadran courbe sur « -25 ».

boats-water depth/snakes/fish?

Hipolito Rightmire: Yes, there is equipment that tells the skipper how deep the water is... (thank goodness!)As far as harming the snakes, fish and worms... honestly, I have never seen nor heard of any snakes, fish, or worms being hit or hurt by boats... It is not the boat the fish and worms have to worry about... it is the hook!Manatees however, (which are fully aquatic marine mammals sometimes known as sea cows - are huge (some weighing over 1,000 lbs), and they are slow (they swim at about 3 mph), they are also very curious... as a result, they often get hit, hurt, killed by speeding boats (mostly in and around the Florida Keys and up the east coast. (Florida claims a manatee population of about 3,000.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manatee...Show more

Armanda Hertel: Summer, a fathometer tells how deep the water is. It works by sending sound waves down and measures how long they take to get back. It works very similar to SONAR, but in a higher frequency. The dial ! reads the depth in feet or in fathoms, as requested. This is an important part of navigation.Things swimming in the water are not hurt by being passed over, any more than you are when you are swimming underwater, and someone swims over you on the surface, unless they get caught in the propeller.Regards,Dan...Show more

Ricardo Rozelle: Not most boats.Only if they get caught up in the prop.There are fish finders, sonar and depth gauges to tell how deep the water is. You can tell if the water is deep enough to ride in usually by color. The critters that live in the water don't get hurt because they can get out of the way, and the force of the boat on the water creates a kind of forces that helps push them down. Snakes however might get whooped on the head with a paddle if I see 'em! (not really, I just don't want them in my boat)....Show more

Giovanni Malool: Well sometimes fish do get caught in the sea suction of bigger ships. They will end up in the stainer if th! e ship happens to travel through a school. Most of the time fi! sh stay clear of boats and ships
