Covering subwoofer with velvet... Bad?

Covering subwoofer with velvet... Bad?

Would laying a piece of velvet hanging over my 18" vbss midbass driver dimish it's performance? I was looking to get rid of reflections up front and had some scrap pieces of velvet laying around and it makes the subs disappear. I have 3 more subs in the back of the room besides these 2 up front so if this made me lose a touch of performance I still have more than enough for my room on tap.

Thx

BF prices...how much more discount might we expect? Shopping for a 98" QM8L which is currently $2k off retail. Gonna go lower?

Trying to decide if I should bite now or wait....thoughts? I know tvs always go deep discounts for BF but it's usually the garbage sets no one wants. Thoughts?

When can we get a suppressor without a form 4? GEORGIA!!!!

What the hell is wrong with GA? Does anyone know the legal status of *if" they are going to change laws here in GA?

ALSO...if the form 4 has been removed on the federal level how do the remaining states (like GA) submit the form 4 to the federal level where they are no longer being processed? Sounds like any state that is still enforcing a form 4 will no longer be able to purchase at all, RIGHT?

Do higher models offer better panel quality control?

For example I'm shopping between a qm9k and qm8l 98". Would the 8l model have better panel quality control (winning panel lottery), or is it still a complete crap-shoot?

What's the best 98" right now for less than $4k?

Best 98" for less than $4k right now? Was looking at the qm8k, but now the qm9k is $500 cheaper....is the 8k better or something?

Dedicated room for movie use, no games, no sports. Coming from a previous 150" projector in a previous home and tired of the hassle of dealing with a pj and it's lackluster pop. Really want a 100" oled but it's stupid money.

Suggestions?

Thx

Looking for 1st tractor, help. New property is 35ac.

New GA property is 35ac, mostly woods with probably 5ac cleared. Looking for a tractor to do misc work - bush hog, move cut timber, little ground work, etc. I've learned that ideally I want something larger with a 40hp engine. Looking to spend less than $30k, new or used. I'm sure I'd be better served with a new tractor with a warranty, but I understand I'd get way more for my money used - open to either direction.

I've never owned a tractor, but I do my own maintenance on our zero turns and vehicles so I have decent hands-on mechanical experience so I'm not a complete novice for maintaining a tractor.

Would something like the ad I listed be a "good" deal and setup for my needs? What would you suggest I look for if not?

Brands to stick with? Brands to avoid?

I'm about 40min S of ATL in GA.

Thanks!

Chest Freezer not starting - could wall circuit be overloaded without tripping a breaker?

In our garage we have a very small fridge/freezer, a 8cu freezer (not the one having an issue), and then a 14cu ft freezer that was failing to start.

The 14cu ft freezer is a 1996 Gibson model No GFC15M4AW3 rated at 5amps.

My son plugged in his electric dirtbike to this same outlet to charge his battery overnight (which he'd never done before) a day or so ago, and we found the freezer not running today. The charger on the bike says it draws 7amps. The bike is a 6600w 72v/30ah.

All of this was on a standard outlet, which never tripped.

Is it possible for their to be too much power draw on that outlet that would, #1 not actually trip the breaker, but #2 prevent the freezer from starting? We've never had an issue with the 14cu freezer before so I'm wondering if this is our issue.

I was able to finally get the freezer to start this am, but it would try to start and then never actually turn the compressor on, so I don't know if this is just a weird coincidence or if the relay or other part is failing on the freezer.

Thoughts?

Does the quality and speed of a wifi router matter if I have it then hardwired into a switch and then have access points broadcasting wifi inside the house?

​

At the end of our driveway we have some utility boxes. Inside the boxes we have a spectrum modem and spectrum router. After the router it goes into some box that coverts everything into fiber optic that runs the 1/8 mile to our actual house. Inside the house I run ap's.

I keep having issues with spectrums router failing and was wondering if I have one of mine own on standby does the speed or quality of the router actually matter in my particular setup as listed in the title?

Note on image - in that image is spectrums router and whatever dark magic happens inside the box that converts the router into fiber optic, the and on the other side of that post is the 2nd utility box that houses spectrums modem.

Thx
