Re: Using other tweeter instead of RD0198-1 to replace SL2500 in Monitor 7 series 2

Hey Dave,

This may be a dumb question….
Does the RD0-194 have ferro-fluid?

Also, how difficult is it to replace ferro-fluid on a tweeter like the SL2000?
Are there different weight fluids?

No ferrofluid in the 194 or SL2000 tweeters.

Re: Tire shops

Once again, Jstas assumes he is superior in everything, not really knowing anyone else's work/life experience. So smug. He writes thousands of words that nobody takes the time to read because it is mostly unnecessary babble. TLDR most definitely applies to most of his posts.
We are all pretty smart around here and many of us have plenty of work experience doing these things. We don't need a lecture from brochacho. I think I'll be like Tom and start using the ignore feature. He tires me.

On a standard car, it doesn't take an extra 30 minutes per car to use a torque wrench for final tightening. That's a fallacy. There is no reason to use the heavy impact to tighten all the way. It's fine to use an electric or pneumatic driver to get the lugs on to something like 30lb-ft. Once the car is on the ground, a guy can do the final pull-click star partern with a torque wrench in about 3-4 minutes. Maybe 5 minutes if it's a 6 lug truck wheel.
Discount Tire and other quality tire shops factor this into the installation cost per tire. They don't use "book rate" for that and that is pretty standard across almost all tire shops that I've encountered. Now, if you getting tires done at a general mechanic or dealership, well that's a mistake to start with, IMO.

You should stop jabbering about things you know nothing about

Likewise. I think everyone here generally agreed that zipping on lug nuts directly from the impact gun and cross-threading was a bad thing. Then you start talking about heavy truck shops and book hours which have nothing to do with normal tire shops. Bye-bye.
