My week has been one of growth.

Over the past couple of months, my wife and I have been having lots of drama because she's polyamorous, but I'm innately monogamous (at least thus far).

She has a boyfriend now and it's been a struggle, but I've finally accepted/realized that there's no actual threat of her leaving (which was the core source of my anxiety and jealousy).

So we're doing awesome now! We still have sex, snuggle, and generally carry on as normal, just that she also has someone who is satisfying that need to experience new relationships.

So overall, my week is going great

I tried the exciters, it was neat...but not great sound fidelity. But still a fun little concept which definitely has uses.

Yeah. There are also 2x4s running parallel behind the fascia (which are attached to the rafters), so it's really sturdy and anchored.

I would recommend doing something like what I did in this photo. I originally just did a simple hook like you posted, but some very high winds bent it, and it was somewhat loose - I still don't know how it stayed in.

I cut a piece of angled steel, drilled holes, and painted with white Plastidip. Then used some nylon spacers with the marine hook. I have not had any issues at all, it's been 7 months and they're rock solid.

Yes, they are metal pipes/fittings that I got from Lowe's (local hardware store). I used a spray paint with the term "hammered" in the name, it gives a nice textured metal coating, since they don't look this nice off the store shelves!

I used strong dish soap and a scrub brush to get them dirty and grease free, then assembled and put them in the oven at 200 degrees (F) for 30 minutes to dry. Then put on rubber gloves to handle (no skin oils) and painted them. Have had no issues with the paint chipping off or anything like that.

If he enjoys electronics and music, then I definitely recommend encouraging his journey into this direction! I would be okay with you asking questions in this thread if you need any help/guidance/resources.

I made the sub use a transmission line for porting, which you can see in the full gallery.

This gives it a really low frequency response, but takes up a lot of room.

Thanks! Yeah I always loved reading that sub for ideas and inspiration.

Man, I was a teenager, reading the PC magazine ads, wishing I had the money to build a system like this!

That's what I think, those who are actually interested in managing a quality sub will likely learn how the fediverse works and move, since the quality of people here will, on average, be higher than the unwashed masses.

That's my sentiment as well. It's just a transition period.

I was literally just looking into this as well!
