You fellas know how to clean a tweeter's dome? It's bugging the crap out of me, even to this day, that I have tiny bit of MDF dust stuck onto my tweeters. I tried using a lightly dampened cloth and gently wiped it, but it didn't do anything at all.

Those DLS tweets are weird as hell with the sticky crap on them, I don't think you'll be able to do it without tweezers and a steady hand.

i have no idea, but they're coated with a thin layer of this sticky stuff like parag mentioned. i got most of the dust off when i installed them into the pillars, but there's still some left.

i'll take em if it bothers you that much.

so... i finally had something installed. sucks.



that n.o.s. ecd-414... bad rca.



trunk... decent. it'll do for now i guess.



dls 8.2i... probably sound better if they didn't blow my freakin tweet.



wiring... i'm actually satisfied with this part.

moral of the story: if you're a lazy a** pay enough to ensure they'll do it better than you would. already had to go through the entire installl once.

Well, in the three or so years I've talked/chatted with you I'd say thats the first time I've ever seen you install anything and it figures that it would be faulty

Yes sir they are

It should come in handy for post-shoot processing for my next engagement/bridal/wedding shoot in March.

How's that new monitor?

my vid card is pretty decent for being a few years old, I never actually looked to see if it had DVI out as well. I'll have to check

The monitor is great, overall it could be sharper, its a little soft for my tastes but it was a gift, cant complain

edit: looks like my card actually has DVI out as well, lol
