Do you agree? #anchoring is the best way to spend your nights onboard

🪢 Sunday Boat Tip [13/52] 🪢 These are the apps we use to make our anchor life a little bit smoother and get a little piece of mind at night! Do you use these too or do you have other favorites that should be added to the list, let us know in the comments! 🗺️ Navionics The app which we use for navigation. When it’s time to anchor, we use it to find a good spot and as we drop the anchor the one at the helm pushes the pin button creating a marker for the anchor location. ⚓️ Anchor Pro An app which works as an anchor alarm. We use the position from the Navionics marker and type it into the Anchor Pro app. There is an error margin as we get the position at the helm and the anchor is at the bow, but it works well enough! We then put in an allowed radius depending on the amount of chain and general surroundings. The app sounds an alarm if we go outside that radius. It’s not necessary to have the Pro version, but it allows for the app to send notifications to other units if the alarm goes off. 💬 Telegram It’s an app for chats and communication. For us, we use it to communicate with the Anchor Pro app. As long as we have internet onboard we can send a message in the Telegram app to the unit running the Anchor Pro and we get an instant reply with anchor distance and bearing. We also get instant notifications if there is an alarm. 📍Marine Traffic It’s an app for watching world wide AIS targets. As long as we leave the AIS running (and we are not in a too remote place) then we can watch our boat's position on here. If sh*t were to go really bad and Linnea would for some reason leave the anchorage without us, we could in theory track and find our boat this way. Don’t forget to save this post and share it with a friends who needs to see this 🫶🏼

Unleash the Power of Your Subwoofer! Are you tired of your car's wimpy sound system? Do you want to feel the music in your bones? Then it's time to upgrade to a subwoofer or position your current one right! A subwoofer is a speaker that's specifically designed to handle low-frequency sounds, such as bass. In this article, we'll show you how to position your subwoofer for getting the most out of your bass. Get ready to rock your world! See Our Blog On This: https://www.chrisdoeswhat.com/how-to-unleash-epic-bass-with-subwoofer-trunk-placement/ What is a Subwoofer, and Why Should You Care? A subwoofer is the key to getting that thumping bass that you feel in your chest. It's a speaker that's designed to handle the low-frequency sounds that other speakers can't reproduce. A good sub and proper placement can make a huge difference in the quality of your music, especially if you listen to genres like hip-hop, EDM, rock, or country. But be warned: a subwoofer can be loud enough to make your music more enjoyable! How to Choose the Perfect Subwoofer for Your Ride Choosing the right subwoofer can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. The first thing you need to consider is the size. Subwoofers come in different sizes, typically measured in inches. The most common sizes are 8", 10", 12", and 15". The size you choose will depend on the amount of space you have in your car and the level of bass you want. Keep in mind that bigger doesn't always mean better! Another factor to consider is the power handling. This is the amount of power that the subwoofer can handle without getting damaged. It's measured in watts RMS (root mean square) and should match the power output of your amplifier. You also want to look for a subwoofer with a low frequency response, meaning it can handle the lowest frequencies. Lastly, consider the type of enclosure you want, such as a sealed or ported box. The Art of Getting the Most Out of Your Bass Placement is key, to get the most out of your subwoofer. If you have seen our video with the Jeep subwoofer, we have the ports pointed toward the corners of the jeep body. Just like in your home, the closer the subwoofer is to a corner, the more bass reflect you get which equals more bass. In our car we have the subwoofer port in the corner giving us low smooth bass. Once you've installed your subwoofer, it's time to fine-tune your settings to get the most out of your bass. Start by adjusting the gain, which controls the volume of the subwoofer. You want to set it to a level that's loud enough to hear but not so loud that it distorts the sound. With a subwoofer mounted in a trunk this can destroy the speaker because you can't hear it. Next, adjust the low-pass filter, which limits the frequencies that the subwoofer can play. This will prevent it from playing sounds that it can't handle or sound you don't want it to produce. Let's Get Pumped: Tips for Maximizing Your Sub's Potential Now that you've got your subwoofer set up, it's time to get pumped! Here are some tips for maximizing your sub's potential: - Play around with different genres of music to find the sweet spot for your subwoofer. - Turn up the volume gradually to avoid damaging your ears or your car's sound system. - Experiment with different EQ settings to fine-tune your sound. - Consider adding sound deadening material to your car's interior to reduce road noise and improve sound quality. - Be respectful of your neighbors and don't blast your music too loudly in residential areas. With these tips, you'll be well on your way to unleashing the power of your subwoofer and enjoying trunk-tastic bass like never before!
