Back to the scheduled program. Got me a 10(Blue) & 25(Black) pack of ink cartridges from ebay for my fountain pens. Was digging through Stuff and found some of my Cool pens. Now for the wait time.

Pics of the cool pens or it didn't happen.

They are on this thread somewhere. Edit on page 5. Mostly Grey, Black and a Cool funky Green pen. REALLY WELL made too. I remember fuzz ordered a couple as well.
Also ordered a Cool Orange 2in1 audio U jack.

Got a couple pics of my mounted tv with the new speaker in the mix!

Got a new tv stand coming Friday that's 3" taller than the one pictured. That'll close up the gap between the speaker and tv and hide those 2 wires.

It really went smooth. Well, as you can see from the marks on the wall I measured, remeasured then measured again. I ended up with a few extra marks on the wall, but only had to drill once. This is one sturdy stand. I think I could sit on it. Thanks again @rojo for the suggestion. I really like it a lot. It's a quality rig.

I would say the extra measuring paid off. It's centered and level. I was holding my breath as I laid that level on there. Nailed it. Not too shabby for my first install of one of these.

Fun fact: if you go the other way around with one of these TRRS breakouts, then get a TRS extender cable, a mono 3.5mm -> RCA adapter, an RCA coupler, a couple of 3.5mm -> female RCA Y adapters, and a mono cable, then you could use the Dayton iMM-6 to get a calibrated measurement mic all-in for around $30, less than half the cost of a UMIK-1. And if you've already got any of those adapters or cables lying around or don't mind a used mic, you might even dip your total below $30.

Mic plugs into TRRS breakout. Red plug of splitter plugs into extender, with the green plug left dangling. Extender plugs into mono 3.5mm -> RCA adapter.

On your sound card, plug both 3.5mm RCA Y cables, one into the speaker out, and the other into line in. Use the RCA coupler to join white to white. Plug the mic cable into line in red, and plug the subwoofer cable into speaker out red.

Now you've got a calibrated measurement mic with a loopback timing interface and a cable for plugging a mono signal into your AVR or directly into your sub, whichever you choose.

Boom. REW measurements for cheapskates.

That's alot of WORK, but you'd know I'd say that. Hahaha
Still a nifty idea for those who are into that. COOL.

Why did you delete my post? All I did was ask Joe was his comment meant for me? Why not delete his comment and only delete my post? Lot of favoritism around here if you ask me. Feels like middle school.

I will send you a PM!

Does your project involve something like this?

International shipping is painful -- especially if your package has the misfortune of being routed through the New York ISC. I've had a new hat ordered from Poland forever it seems like, and tracking has shown it stuck in New York since April. Deliver my hat already! I mean, for real, what's it gonna take?

I know, first world problem, right?

 

[afterlife2]

Thus the patience. Hats are cool.

Didn't exactly buy; got it free with my phone. They said 6-8 weeks, but it came yesterday.

stock rear deck car speakers on the fritz so I bought a new pair. Hopefully will be easy to install with the instructions provided by Crutchfield. Not the best speakers on the market but hopefully better than the junk which came with car from the factory. Rockford Fosgate Punch. Wiring harnesses were free, the blue trim panel tools about $12.00.
