    Today I am searching for the best sound for a Bluetooth speaker for my 2005. The highly recommended Jabra Stinks: the sound quality is bad to awful. Suggestions welcome!

    Ok guys, after a few hours and a great helping hand I am looking at this....

    I am parked perpendicular to my garage maybe 5-6 feet away from the door:
    Screenshot_20210923-190452_CamHi.jpg

    And this is what the cut off looks like...

    20210923_184621.jpg

    Am I good to go ahead and start tacking the bowls and projectors with jb weld or is there more adjustment needed before "lock them down"?

    Tried taking a picture like that of my truck and couldn't get the exposure correct. I'm using a Canon 90D.

    Done by me: decals, plastidip, and vinyl. More to come. Not done by me: Icon front/rear suspension; Total Chaos UCA’s; Method wheels/34” Falken tires; Prinsu cab rack/LED light bar; V1Air compressor piped to a 2.5 gallon underbed tank; Pelfreybilt front/rear bumpers; Smittybilt front winch.
    Even though they’re fairly simple, those aren’t really bad prices for this imo. I bet if he had some custom 3D printed cable cover for them he’d do even better, I think it’s a pretty nice design.

    I've got the sdhq ones, but it doesn't quite work for me on the + side. I ordered one of these and am going to heat some kydex and form/trim to make a neat cover for it. Simple-ish

    Depends on the driving conditions. Windows down, 60+, it's going to be drowned out pretty quickly. It also doesn't do much for itself over 80% volume, even with a tweaked EQ. Windows up, though, it will perform fantastically. There's always a bit of "what's the situation" in recommendations I give now.

    Wait this is to use in a vehicle?? Why would the choice be a battery powered Bluetooth speaker in the first place?

    This isn't my picture but I do take photos quite a bit haha Try setting your aperture as low as possible (letting more light in and getting a shallow depth of field) and then depending on how dark your scene is adjust your shutter speed/ISO. Sometimes using a higher mm lens helps as well and shooting from a bit farther away to give the background more bokeh :thumbsup:

    Love the bokeh! :D Yeah getting some separation between the subject and background will help get that effect. Lens selection too.

    I haven't tried it yet, but this is used to reset/relearn idle after a battery disconnect or battery replacement. Can also be used to fix a rough idle.

    Even with my cell phone I couldn't get a decent picture.
    I guess more trial and error is in order.
