Best post ever.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

First off, I am an anarcho-punk. Secondly, simply put, i personally believe in the philosophies of Christ, but i don't believe that anyone should be confined to any religion, and i'm fu(king sick of how today the American gov't ignores the idea of religious freedom at every turn, especially now that gays are starting to make a stand, and America is constantly trying to put them down. Why? Because of religion. And it may be my religion, and i'll admit that i feel pretty fu(king guilty.

"Christian" does not mean "fundamentalist as$hole christian".

[SkaRobotArmy]

i kinda laughed at the title. but the artwork is pretty clever if you could get somebody to draw it a little better.

[SkaRobotArmy]

Finished my halloween costume tonight.

Pretty shoddy, but I wasn't really planning on dressing up beforehand, so it's not too bad I suppose.

I'm going as a picture of a giraffe.

I kind of wish I would have done a background, and am thinking about putting something in the blank space off to the side there, looks a little blank.


What do you guys think? Cost me nothing, and only took a little while. Not the best obviously, but I just have to wear it at work for a couple hours.

thats pretty rad but yea, a little scenery would make it stand out a lot more.

i have this childrens tiger suit i wore last year and was too lazy to get something new so i just put a twist on it. im being tigerwoods, just wearing the tigersuit plus a nike hat and 9-iron. and golf shorts since i had to cut the crotch out of the costume for comfort reasons.

Edit: to the zine

My criticism would probably be the use of "insane ramblings." I had to check and make sure that's what it said because actually I thought you had written "incoherent ramblings," and this is better than that. However, "insane ramblings" is roughly something I would've titled a zine had I tried to write one in 7th grade. People don't want to read ramblings, they would rather read clear, concise writing. Espcially since yours sounds fairly political, you want to be able to state, and state clearly, what you are trying to say. "insane" doesn't help your argument, and "ramblings" doesn't entice readers.


And I'm done treating the DIY thread like english class. Have a nice day.

[SkaRobotArmy]

this is very true. probably why the title is somewhat difficult to take seriously.

I don't see an "s".

[asdf]

I don't see an "s".
Wow, you are correct. Dyslexia strikes again!

Still, I think the use of inane doesn't strengthen the title, and much of what I said applies to it, even if I read it wrong. Inane is a bit more mature than insane, though.

[TBrown87]

Zine cover. Anyone like?

http://i23.tinypic.com/2lcvdll.jpg

I'd read it I think. Too bad I live in a crappy little town where any zine would be dead by day 2.

[Converge#12]

I actually put it in the oven. Microwaving never works for me.

Thanks for the idea. Might have to give it a try. :)

One way I was thinking was to heat up the army men before-hand to where they're almost melting, then throw them on the vinyl and heat them together. Army men melt to vinyl, vinyl gets loose enough without burning to press army men into it a bit further.

Sounds good in theory.

May have to try it this weekend when I'm off work.

Buy a torch lighter.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

i kinda laughed at the title. but the artwork is pretty clever if you could get somebody to draw it a little better.

I kinda tried to get that frank, somewhat jokingly funny title feel going. It's hard to get someone to laugh at a title but still take it seriously. But it is a serious zine though, i've written a review, drawn some good stuff, and wrote a small article about misantrophy.

Yeah, that cover's sorta a rough, now that you mention it. I'm gonna keep at it till i get it right. First, i gotta learn, once and for all, how to draw hands. They've given me trouble over the years, especially when i wanna take my drawings seriously.

[asdf]

At my college there is a coffee shop close by that has this great zine library. I've been reading them a lot, so it's making me kind of critical of them. Some of them really inspire me to write one, though.

But do I really need to do one more DIY thing? I mean... really.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Holy ****, absolutely no one is posting. Anyways, patch dude who made the Op Ivy pathes, i dunno if you caught this or have just not been here, but i posted this a whole ago...

That's some cool stuff, how do you make your own patches?

[Danger Bird]

My friends and I jumped on a passing train last night. Took about 4 hours to walk back.

[Flagjacket]

this is a DIY thread not a poor decision thread.

[Danger Bird]

DIY independent transportation my friend.

[asdf]

But in your case it wasn't transportation as much as a 4 hour inconvenience.

[Anxious]

My friends and I jumped on a passing train last night. Took about 4 hours to walk back.

I lol'd :lol:

[Danger Bird]

But in your case it wasn't transportation as much as a 4 hour inconvenience.

Well, if you want to technical.

[Flagjacket]

Are you done trying to get DIY punk rock cred from jumping on a train and walking like 10 miles?

[Danger Bird]

Oh no, Mr. Let's Talk About Wu-Tang in the Punk Forum doesn't think my posting is appropriate.

[Flagjacket]

Mr. I Got On A Train and Walked Home has got jokes!

[Danger Bird]

**** yeah negro

don't you miss the fun we had

[Danger Bird]

oh what a surprise

[SkaRobotArmy]

Backed.

all the way onto his c'ock no doubt.

[Flagjacket]

all the way onto his c'ock no doubt.

Isn't that exactly where you are on Jess?

[El_Shiznit]

This thread sucks

[Danger Bird]

Anyway if anyone feels like talking about DIY again

I made a Mt. Eerie stencil
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v428/BPMead007/mt.jpg

To go on a shirt with a quote from "The Moan" on the back
I think the logo needs to be bigger and the coyote smaller.
And I'm just going to stencil-ize the letters by hand

[okay]

when you make a band t shirt yourself its like your saying 'hey look im a fag'

and jumping on a train so you can walk 4 hours isnt diy its just stupid

[Ephemeral]

I made an Infest stencil.

[Flagjacket]

when you make a band t shirt yourself its like your saying 'hey look im a fag'


I loled in class

[Ephemeral]

I MADE these.

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8965/dscf3135ze1.jpg

yes.

[Danger Bird]

when you make a band t shirt yourself its like your saying 'hey look im a fag'
Mount Eerie doesn't sell t-shirts so what's a man to do?

And those stickers look very professional

[Ephemeral]

ty I pride myself in them.

[asdf]

Those are quite good. Nice Aphex Twin one. I made a patch of that logo years ago, but my poor sewing machine skills left it unfinished.

[Flagjacket]

i could make those stickers in my sleep if sleep meant thirty minutes of concentrated Photoshop and vinyl station work.

[asdf]

Well for the first time in a long time I don't have any schoolwork I should be doing so I've been designing a stencil of a bee. So far so badass, but it's going to be a bitch to cut out.

[asdf]

Here's what I have of my bee stencil so far:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/BEES.jpg

I like it a lot so far, but the face is turning out to be much more difficult that anticipated. I've tried to make it 4 different ways now, none of which I have been happy with.

[Danger Bird]

Yeah bees are pretty cool

[Ephemeral]

i could make those stickers in my sleep if sleep meant thirty minutes of concentrated Photoshop and vinyl station work.

Yeah, I have a vinyl cutter at school :cool:

[SkaRobotArmy]

that bee is bit'chin.

what is the best way to make a checkered stencil?

[asdf]

I would probably say just making a checker pattern out of square cut pieces of tape onto the surface you're painting. Then... paint?


I basically finished designing that bee stencil, but I'm not 100% happy with it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/BEES-1.jpg
So I got bored and made another one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/BEES2.jpg
Not done either, but pretty far.

[me likes punk]

Can't really tell what is happening in the second picture.

[asdf]

Every single person I've shown that one to has said the same thing. So I'm basically not bothering with it anymore.

[SkaRobotArmy]

i thought about the tape, but it seems like it might be a big pain in the butt and was trying to think of an easier way. first bee looks awesome, i don't quite get the second either. do you just draw them?

[asdf]

I drew them out in photoshop by going over an image.

The second one is from this original:
http://homepage.mac.com/eceisner/Insects/Bees_and_Wasps/bumblebee.jpg


And honestly I can't think of anything better than tape. cutting out stencils would be just as labor-intensive as the tape, and I don't think it would turn out well.

[asdf]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/other003.jpg

Finished bee stencil. I'm pleased with it.

[asdf]

Thanks! I appreciate that from someone who has, in the past, told me to commit suicide.

I accept tough guy.




Butch woman? Seriously?

You just used an excessive amount of exclamation points in your last four posts. Please refrain from doing so again.

[Bukowski]

Don't take it to heart now, Sanjur0!!!

No thanks, GhostFire3! Please refrain from any further outbursts of sheer f'aggotry in my Punk forum again, queer! :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Haha, I knew I would get a response like this from you.

I was just giving you some ****.

[Bukowski]

hahaha nice one, mr. predictable!

[Flagjacket]

Someone other than me or Nick is e-talking ****? Did everyone decide to stop being gay?

[Bukowski]

"submitting to my undenying wrath"

haha c'mon now Nick, we're not playing some fantasy RPG here! Quit the nerd talk, remove the cum from yr eyes...and THINK! Was I complimenting you, Sanjur0? Was I really? Sit in the corner and think about that for a while. Draw the blinds, draw some conclusions. You can do it Nick! I believe in you :thumb:

[asdf]

Draw the blinds, draw some conclusions.
This was, or almost was, zeugma. Sweet.

[Win A Rabbit]

I ordered in a 2 1/4" button maker, but just couldn't pay $40 for a circle cutter.

Anyone have any tips on how to make a 2 1/4" circle cutter? I've got some really basic plans, but I'm sure it won't work out as well as I'm imagining it.

[mullets suk]

best thing i could think of is take an x-acto knife and some sort of arm on a "turn table" think ofa way a record player works. if u make the arm stiff you'll get an exact cut everytime. How to make this...i dont know.

o and im going to make an upright bass in the spring, when i get done ill post pics.

[asdf]

$40 for circle cutter? that's ridiculous, it should come with the button maker. Then again, my button maker is pretty cheap all together.

[Anarcho Poser]

fix an x-acto blade on a compass

[Win A Rabbit]

The thing about compasses, though, is would't they leave a little dent in the middle of the image? Would it be visible when put together?

[Ephemeral]

cut them out with your teeth. that is true diy panx

[plebeian scum]

you don't need a circle cutter. just cut it out with scissors; as long as it's somewhat close to the line it won't matter, since the button maker wraps a certain margin of the paper circle around to the back of the button.

I've always had bad experiences with die cutters anyways - generally I'd say they're not worth the trouble.

[Win A Rabbit]

Button maker should arrive on tuesday.

And I just found out today that my mom has a circle cutter. Problem solved. Thank god for scrapbooking moms.

I've got a bunch of designs ready to go.

[Thanks]

I tried this on another punky wunky forum, and got screwed. But does anyone here want to make me some 1'' buttons for less than they charge on most websites?

[Flagjacket]

Yeah paypal me 78 dollars

[asdf]

Alex I think I already told you this but my button maker only makes buttons that are an inch and a quarter.

However, since I'm home I now have a printer with ink and if that's not a problem I might be able to help. As long as my button maker isn't messing up like it was at school.

How many do you need?

[asdf]

My dad gave me a belt he bought used and then realized it didn't fit him. It didn't fit me either (one ridiculously small belt), so I took the buckle off and put it on an old bike inner tube.

Now I have two belts.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I made these. I little crappy, but not bad for my first three tries, IMO. My camera has a knack for needing crappy lighting.

I need some ideas on what to do with fried marbles, craft-wise.

I'm doing a craft night at my work this month, and would like to do something with fried marbles, but can't think of anything to do with them.

Any ideas?

Or any ideas on other crafts I could do?
In the past I've done duct tape wallets, vinyl bowls, and vinyl clocks. Things that 12-17 year olds can/would want to do without too much trouble.

[AndreTheHyena]

What the **** is a fried marble?

[Win A Rabbit]

you heat up marbles in the oven for 20 minutes at 500f, and then drop them in ice cold water, and the insides crack but the outside still holds.

http://www.createapendant.com/pictures/fracturedmarbles.jpg

like that.

[Liebensaft]

That just sounds really dangerous.

[Win A Rabbit]

i was kinda skeptical about it at first, but i've never had one explode on me.

one time i found a couple shards at the bottom of the bowl when i went to pour the water out, but i hadn't even noticed that one had cracked apart.

[bleep_bloop]

what do you do with them though

[Win A Rabbit]

That's what I'm asking for suggestions on. :)


Right now I just have a couple in the fishbowl, and then a couple in a decorative bowl in the living room.

Trying to think of applications for kids 12-17 that's more useful than "put them in a fishbowl"

Wrap some copper wire aroung them and make a tree type thing? Might not be useful, but if you did it well it might make a cool decoration.

[bleep_bloop]

you could put them in random people's mailboxes and they would be like 'hey look a cool little marble'

Hey, i'm friends with the people who created DIY Punk Zine, a zine based in CT; i wrote a review of Zeke's new EP, Kings of the Highway. I also submitted my band, Don the Flaming Squirrel's, first album, "The Donut Album!" for review. http://www.freewebs.com/dontheflamingsquirrel

A friend found a yellow shirt that wont fit her, but will fit me, so I'm going to put my bee stencil on it.

Unfortunately I think I brought my stencil back home, so I have to wait a few weeks to make it.

[asdf]

And today a friend and I tie-dyed with bleach and it turned out pretty sweet. I will be making more soon. Probably next weekend.

[TBrown87]

yay.

I made a fairly natty Black Flag patch, but I don't have any pics because I can't figure out digital cameras...

[Liebensaft]

Natty is an adjective?

[Win A Rabbit]

Lately I've been doing a fair bit of diy stuff for a project I'm working on.

Making buttons, working on some stencils, carving stamps, etc.

Saving us a bunch of money. :)

[Win A Rabbit]

here's the wallet i made a little while ago. just carries my basics (id, debit card, a couple bills), but i like it.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a260/mx_sic/wallet001.jpg
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a260/mx_sic/wallet003.jpg

[asdf]

That's pretty neat, actually? Does it function easily?

[Win A Rabbit]

it's a little flimsy, but i'm used to it now.

really it's for looks more than functionality, but it's like 1/4 of the size of my actual wallet, so it's nice to not be lugging around random business cards/gift cards/change/whatever else is in my wallet every now and then.

super easy to make, too. just unscrew it, use wire cutters to cut out anything in the way, tie it together (or use an elastic band), done.

[TBrown87]

Natty is an adjective?

Yes it is an adjective.

[Converge#12]

okay this is something kind of offbeat however can anyone think of any ideas on how to make something when thrown at a person or the ground, the thing would cover someone in glitter... I checked google and stuff with no turn out aside pop a balloon over someoenes head it needs to be thrown.

[wartomods]

lets get funkier, how about homemade tattoos

What's a good paint to use on fabrics? I usually use acrylic paint but that fades pretty fast.

Speedball brand screen printing ink is one of the best imo.

Edit: they have both acrylic and fabric inks... Go for the fabric one

http://www.in2art.com/art-supplies/speedball-screenprinting-ink-screenink-fabricinks2

[TBrown87]

That's pretty expensive tho.:( Anything cheaper?

[Sunshine]

Yes it is an adjective.

I thought it was a beer.

[TBrown87]

Natty Beer?

It's a Jamaican term meaning cool or fashionable. I like it.

Well, since I used to post here a lot when I was crafty I thought I'd just share what I'm working on right now. I'm making a stencil of a tree, which will eventually be used on canvas instead of a shirt.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/WebCam_20080402_0032.jpg

[Liebensaft]

That is a crazy stencil.

[Flagjacket]

Yeah that stencil is on a level of stencil the world has never seen

[asdf]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

[Anxious]

That is insane.

[DrGolovaCroxby]

How long did that take?

[asdf]

I've been working on it on and off for a week or two? I started it, stopped, and recently I've been working on it a bit every day.

So far it's definitely been several hours.

[Win A Rabbit]

seriously, i would never attempt something like that. i would give up after like an hour once i realized i was nowhere near to being done.

props

[DrGolovaCroxby]

Well it's most awesome. Take a picture when you use it on something.

[chrisadlersidol]

Can someone recommend me a decent name for my band? Our influences are: 4ft Fingers, Consumed, Rancid, The Offspring, NOFX etc. (I started this as a thread a few days ago but it got closed cos it was dumb!) Thanks

[DrGolovaCroxby]

If you can't name your own band, don't have a band at all.

That's tight. DRI are sick as hell. You should make a second stecil to fill in the inside of the "D" and such.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Yeah, i have the leftover scraps in a ziploc. :)

Hm... would spraypaint work, or is there some other medium that works better with shirts? I'm planning to do it on a black shirt.

On fast songs, Felix makes me go like, "whaaaat?!... how?!..." :lol:

[asdf]

I've never seen spraypaint done on a black shirt, but I bet someone here knows if it works.

I use fabric paint. Not spray fabric paint, though, that stuff doesn't work at all.

[Danger Bird]

Spray paint won't work on a black shirt. Doesn't show up.

I've used white spray paint on a black shirt, and it mostly looks like siolver. If you did a few coats, letting the paint dry between each, it might work. You'd be better off using acrylic paint. It's bright and will NEVER come off. Even if you try.

[TBrown87]

yes it will. It comes off pretty easily for me.

[me likes punk]

yes it will. It comes off pretty easily for me.

Really? What did you use?
I got it on my favorite pair of pants when I was in seventh grade and tried scraping it and washing it and soaking it and various other techniques that seeme like they'd work. I eventually used paint thinner and destroyed my pants, but that was after a year or so of trying to get it out.

[Anxious]

Ok Rory, I sent off my shirt.

[asdf]

Excellent.

I finished my tree and did a few test sprays just for fun, but I have no pictures. It's sweet, I promise.

[asdf]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/TREE.jpg

Didn't get a picture before it was used for a test spray. Also don't have a picture of the test spray.

Soon I will buy a canvas and make something neat-o.

[me likes punk]

That's among the better stencils I've seen. Probably one of the best in this thread. How long were you cuttung that thing? And how does carpal tunnel feel? haha

[asdf]

Thanks. It definitely added up to hours, but I did like 90% of it while at work, where I would only otherwise be on MX or maybe doing homework.

I need to think of other intricate stencils because people have liked this one so much. And it was a lot of work but it was really relaxing and fun too.

Multiple coats of spray paint gets really stiff. If you're going to use a acrylic thin it out a little bit first.

At first I thought you were comparing yours to an 80's movie poster. Those both look bad *** though.

[mullets suk]

what do you guys think of the new King Blues song "lets hang the landlord", its good if it wasnt TKB, but since it is im not a huge fan of it. It reminds me of a cross between rancid and flogging molly.

[TBrown87]

Is it a Dead Kennedys cover?

[chrisadlersidol]

Is it a Dead Kennedys cover?

yeah but isn't the dead kennedys one "lets lynch the landlord"

[mullets suk]

yeah but isn't the dead kennedys one "lets lynch the landlord"

lol what...? its completely different, the Dk song is lets lynch the land lord but besides the title they have nothing in common.

[Win A Rabbit]

You've probably all seen these stencils before but I resprayed them on spare cardboard I've had lying around since I was bored.

[asdf]

Pretty badass. I actually know someone who would love to have something just like that in his house.

[Win A Rabbit]

thanks. i may finish up the legs one of these days, but i'm not looking forward to dealing with tape on all those curves.


my friend's moving out and bought a big table and 8 chairs from a garage sale for his basement, and he wants me to do stuff like this to them.

[Danger Bird]

Yeah that looks nice.

[chrisadleridol]

does anyone know any good white paint to use on fabric cause i got this one kind and it sucks

[asdf]

I use tulip fabric paint.

Here's the bike stencil I've been working on. It's almost done but there's some things I'm not sure about. Not sure if I should add spokes or if I do how I should go about it.

Yeah, some thing about that I don't quite like. I'll be sure to let you know when I find out how to fix such a problem.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

I threw this together in about 2 days... i used super-glue, the spikes, and some pleather.

Now that the show i've been saving up for happened, i can buy some spikes and get to work on a matching one.

I'm working on a multilayer stencil that I'm going to put on a canvas. Right now I'm just designing it, and am not all that far.

It's based off of:

Yeah, I'm just quite a fan of bumble bees.

[lynch_me]

Looks good so far.

[sub-bass]

It's been ages since I've been to the DIY thread. I'm no asdf but here's a few things I've done.

My first bass' pickguard painted in kind of a wildberry poptart pattern

What it looks like now (might add some more too it)

another cool thing she made me

Aquabats! shirt that didn't turn out so great
http://s22.photobucket.com/albums/b348/sub-bass/?action=view&current=Picture014.jpg

This was made about a little over a year ago for an english class project where we had to make a poster for a song. This is for 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' by Smashing Pumpkins.

[asdf]

I like the bass pickguard and the phaser. How'd you get that sort of effect? Also, what's wrong with the Aquabats shirt? I think it's great. How'd you get that blue fade on it?

[sub-bass]

Why thank you. For the pickguard I did a coat of blue over the purple/turquoise pattern I had before and for the phaser I think I coated it turquoise then made the pattern over it with blue just using different brush strokes. I do like the shirt but I don't want to take too much credit, I just used that iron on printer paper and a picture someone had made at the Aquabats forum. My only problem with it is that I didn't think to cut around it so there's a bunch useless white transfer material around the logo.

[asdf]

I've finished designing my bee stencil.

http://fc02.deviantart.com/fs31/f/2008/214/7/2/Bee_on_Flowers_Stencil_Design_by_asdf23.jpg

I'll post the finished canvas product too, but that wont be for quite awhile.

[TBrown87]

Do you just have a thing for bee's or something? Anyway it looks great.

[asdf]

Eh, I guess. It's what I feel like stenciling. Plus I kind of want to be a bee keeper, but not all that seriously.

After this I'm sure I'll move onto some other subject.

[DeathMagnetic]

a bee keeper would be an awesome job

all the honey u could ever want

[TBrown87]

I've got a friend who has about 6 hives or whatever they're called. He says it's a fairly easy job unless your bees get sick or something.

[SkaRobotArmy]

ya, aren't bees dying off by the millions or something because of climate change or some shyt? not a great time to be a beekeeper i think.

but very cool stencil anyway, as always.

[Danger Bird]

a few things I've done.
I wish I was cool enough to just paint stuff on my walls.

[asdf]

ya, aren't bees dying off by the millions or something because of climate change or some shyt? not a great time to be a beekeeper i think.

but very cool stencil anyway, as always.Yeah, I know, and it really upsets me. It's a serious problem that people should be more aware of, because if it keeps going on like this, it'll change so much. Bees do so much more than just make honey, they polinate so many crops we rely on.

Part of my bee stenciling kick, I think. Also, they're just cool. Interesting to look at.

[DeathMagnetik]

save the bees!!

[justin toxicated]

i made myself a pedalboard but it's a bit clunky so i'm going to make a new, more compact and transportable one in a different design. pics when i get around to it.

[sub-bass]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/asdf23/FinalBeeStencil.jpg

Very cool, where are you going to put that up?

[asdf]

Very cool, where are you going to put that up?
Currently it's in my room. Looks pretty kickass on a red wall. But I'll probably bring it to my dorm and hang it over my bed.

[MANLINESS]

good jub roary

[asdf]

Thanks Eliminator.

[MANLINESS]

u shud make a mud mural

[SkaRobotArmy]

ever though about doing butterflys? i think that would work really cool with your style also. (not being a dick)

[chrisadlersidol]

what kinda paint do u guys use for the color white, i use tulip paint and it always turns out like crap, it looks like finger paint when im done, all the other colors are fine, just not white

[asdf]

Hm, never thought about making butterflys. Might happen.

I never had problems with Tulip paint, however I had some other fabric paint from a friend I quite liked. Unfortunately, I cannot find it.

[SkaRobotArmy]

or a mantis. that would be so bad ***.

[TBrown87]

hey, asdf do you make all your stencils yourself?

[resnick]

The Fisted.

[pinkjellomagnet]

anyone ever get shirts from www.shirtsforbands.com?

[pinkjellomagnet]

Fisting?

[asdf]

hey, asdf do you make all your stencils yourself?

Yeah? What do you mean by that like design/cut them myself? Yeah, I do, although when I started I just cut band logos which isn't designing myself.

[POINTLESS5448]

And of you guys remember me?

1. Grab yourself a 3.5 mm to 2.5 mm plug adapter from your local best-buy/digital-whatever store

2. Plug the adapter into your iPod

3. Plug your iPod into the guitar amp like you would a guitar

4. Turn your iPod's volume to zero, and the amp's volume to ten

5. Play; you should get a medium-type volume range

6. Adjust your equalizer and the amp equalizers as preferred

[asdf]

That's pretty ridiculous. I was just about to try it but any adapters I have like that are not with me. Does it sound decent?

Here's my finished stencil of Evel Knievel on a moped:
http://fc35.deviantart.com/fs36/f/2008/272/a/a/Technicolor_Moped_by_asdf23.jpg

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Yeah, it sounds pretty good; not outstanding though. But certainly good enough to serve as a speaker system for my small room. I usually use treble 10, mid 0, bass 8 for dance music, and something like... i think treble 6, mid 3, and bass 9 for metal/heavy stuff.

Haha, Knievel on a moped. :lol:

[sub-bass]

I do that with my ipod and laptop, sometimes into my mixing board to speakers.
