Unfortunately there's no exposed edges. The tile itself (12" x 24") is a little over a quarter inch thick. But the total install thickness is about half an inch. It's my impression that the mortar thickness itself should end up being about a quarter inch, but they claim they used just a really thin layer. Last pic is a tile on top of quarter inch (exact) piece of trim.

I'm not asking if they should have used it or not, just that if they didn't, I don't want to be charged the extra $500 or so. Is it possible they did actually? Is quarter inch hardiboard actually quarter inch thick?

We fixed the leak, and I removed 90% of the affected fiberglass batting. But it's still kind of damp and humid up there after 24hrs. For reference, this is about a 20x20 foot space

Note: It's a bit below freezing currently where I live.

My first thought is to somehow haul the dehumidifier up there but I've read it's pointless, because the attic is open to the outside. But it would still push air around and the little bit of humidity removal still helps, won't it?

The water was enough to soak some ceiling drywall where it's bowed pretty good. Is it possible to brace this from below and screw it back into the joists after it dries?

Finally decided to give taz a shot after listening to mbmbam for a year. I started right after Steeplechase was ending so I was able to pretty much listen to the whole thing back to back. I thought it was awesome.

I'm about to go on a cross country road trip and looking for opinions for what series to pick up next. Things I liked best about Steeplechase:

1. intro music
2. general chemistry/goofiness
3. atmosphere/story

Which series will give me similar vibes? If they are all gold, then what will make the most sense to listen to in a specific order? TIA

With the hail, there's been a lot of good posts about roofing, now please lay on me some details about local shops that do some good paintless dent repair (PDR) work.

On the image dynamics site for the ID series (http://www.imagedynamicsusa.net/id)

They list the xmax for the subs there, but if you look in the PDFs the xmax is completely different. I think it's the same error on the IDQ page as well. I've reached out through their site but haven't gotten a response after a week or so.

Anyone know which specs are the correct ones?

Yes I kind of live under a rock.

Side question, where do you guys get your main source of weather news?

Say the amp is in the trunk on the driver's side, it would take 7 total feet of wiring to get to the driver's door speakers and 13 total feet to get to the front passenger door speakers.

Should I be adding the extra 6 feet to the driver's side channel to keep things even? Or is it irrelevant at these lengths?

Assume same 180 watts of power going to the Ultimax 8" which would be mounted on rear deck (trunk baffle) and the Hideaway 10" would go under front passenger seat. Both have bass boost (6dB at 40 Hz).

I'm guessing that though it's super shallow (shallower than any of their listed subs), the Hideaway might hit slightly lower notes, but the Ultimax 8" isn't a slouch with that 16mm xmax. Which would I feel more/be louder? I could use WinISD, but I can't find the Hideaway specs anywhere.

Ultimax 8" specs

So I'm looking to upgrade the speakers in this car and I'm kind of stumped on an amp.

I've seen people mention that you should stick with smaller amps for the hybrids and even the Crutchfield site is really strict about it and tells you if a specific amp has a current draw greater than 30a.

I've done some very rudimentary searching for alternator specs and some replacements parts sites rate replacement alternators for these cars at 40a. See edit below

My specific requirements: I've got the base audio 8 speaker package. I'm looking to power new front components (TBD) and put a sub (TBD) in the rear deck, cutting a hole where the sub would be in the upgraded audio/touring package. (Ye

Obviously it won't power a sub, but it should be good enough to handle like 40-60w speakers x4, right? Just straight swap 4 sets of decent 2 way component (6.5" + tweeter) speakers?

I'm making a big assumption that it's 4 channels at 45w each. Does anyone know the amp's actual specs?
