IF tuning low, make sure its a few hz above the SSF of the amp. THIS WILL only matter if the amp has a SSF that is not adjustable. example i.e. IF the SSF is pre set at 30hz, you will want to tune a few hz higher.

Thanks to my damn truck, I missed out on shooting some AKs and an M16 yesterday. Stupid truck.

I hear you on the testing and reviewing. I am running a bunch of numbers at the minute to pick a new 10" midbass based on the volume of my door.

So many builds to read, SO little time!!! Looks CLEAN Brother!!!

I'm tuned in. Glad to hear you like the FR88's, I will probably give them a try soon.

Third cup. Monday for me.

Lookin' clean, Jellybean!!

Already on my second cup.

I wish i could recall where I read reviews. I might try CA.com or DIYMA. I have read 3 reviews all claiming breakup nodes from somewhere between 2 and 2.5K. I am not surprised, really, as this should be expected with aluminum cones, no matter how hearty they are constructed. Were I to make a single change on this driver, it would have been a pulp cone. cvame918, while I am not impious I will provide a little insight. The first thing to consider is the Anarchy is an 8 ohm driver, so be sure you have the ability to power it correctly. The ZR is more of a dedicated midbass driver, where the Anarchy will be very happy into the midrange. In looking at the usable frequency response of the ZR (50-500Hz) it will be very safe to assume it has a fairly high inductance, although I have not found a published LE specification. The higher inductance limits it's frequency response as well as it's speed. While they will both get nice and low, with authority, I expect the Anarchy to be punchier and more responsive down low as well. It will be more transparent, where the ZR will be more of a silky smooth driver. The Anarchy's XBL2s BL linearity will be an improvement over the overhung design of the ZR as well, making it more accurate. Aside from the power issues, based on the loads of the 2 drivers, the Anarchy will best the ZR in every aspect from an objective point of view... Subjectively, however, it is difficult to render an opinion, as most people don't like sub bass, and midbass drivers that lack distortion. Please broaden your veiws on the statement in red.

The pupose of a crossover is to narrow the frequency range that a driver is playing. With that being said, what you want to do with the fronts is narrow off the lower frequencys that the sub is now playing. IF you can get the sub to play up to 80hz then you should be good crossing the fronts to play the frequencys from there up. AS far as the Slope setting, this controls how many decibels the signal will have dropped by the next octave. SO the steeper the slope, the less you will hear past your crossover point. Heres a gragh to show you what the slope changes.

Theres no skin on the body as fun to Tattoo as the top of the head!!! Other than it bleeds like crazy.

I will clarify why I think its part societys fault. When I was a child, BOTH my parents owned bussinesses and I was expected to work for what I wanted. This opportunity is becoming harder and harder to present to our children based on the type jobs people work. I was beat for just about everything growing up and it got my parents NO WHERE. I am ONE of the angriest people you will ever met because of my upbringing, and now must HURT people everyday to feel better about myself. THIS my Friend is why I LOVE my job, I HURT people ALL DAY LONG BABY!!!!!

Interestingly enough every one I know that currently owns those hates them in the snow. Now perhaps they went too wide so it looked cooler and it wasn't tall so it was floating. Not sure. I had a pair on a truck when I worked for the state(the state didn't spend that money but somehow they were on the fvkkin truck) and in everything else they worked great. In snow, it sucked big. A buddy of mine who plows tried them out too and he was dissapointed. I thought they would be great for snow but for some reason everyone I know has had issues with them and would rather be in a road tire or mild AT tire. Well they were the best snow tire I ever owned. Stock size, 95 F150. Could tear through really deep snow in 2wd Just look at at all those leading edge's and factory siping!!! Not only do the BF's stick like glue, THEY wear like IRON!!! I ran some Toyo Spectrums on my last Honda and they SUCKED more than the Big-O's I have now. I WOULD buy a Michelin, Goodyear or a Cooper tire in a heartbeat.

Tire siping creates more Leading edge's on the tires treads, basicly like having ALOT of little treads.

If I had a D or F on my report card growing up I was bringing home a weekly report sheet signed by every teacher, and WORKING at my dads business from afternoon until quitting time. I then had a school desk at home in the spare room that I had to sit at and study until bed time. May I ADD my dad works almost always 7 days a week and always has, I had to work atleast 50% of my free time as a kid ALSO Is how I developed work ethic. My Dad wasn't buying me SHIT. IF I brought home better grades the next quarter, I could have my 50% freetime back.

Sadly, IMO it is the parent's fault. When I grew up I got my ass kicked for disobedience and for not doing my chores. Bad grades? Ass kicking and grounded forever. When I did poorly in school, I got an F not an "E" for needs more effort. When we failed a grade, we were held back. We were accountable for our actions. If we didn't do what we were supposed to we got stomped on. Nowadays I see my son's friends getting brand new cell phones and dirt bikes and stupid shit just because they brought that D up to a C. Kids are coddled today by society, but they are learning this at home. I still stomp my son if he doesn't do right. I take away the things that matter most, and I don't make a big deal out of a good grade. It is expected. If he gets a bad grade though, he knows he will get his ass kicked. That is called parenting. I agree with your whole rant other than I think a kid should be given attention for doing something good as well as bad. As far as how I was raised, I could of lived at your house and would of NEVER known the difference.

Thats funny you put it that way, I just realized I am in love with the technical side of car audio. Thanks. Impious is a great guy to get tech advice from, that I know I can trust. Some days I feel like I am in kindergarten though. UPDATE: My wifey says I act like I am in kindergarten some days too.

Bring on the build!!

The problem with today's youth is they have no work ethics installed growing up. Not all the parents fault, but more the way our society is set up now-a-days.

I Own my trailer I live in, all 5 of my cars and trucks I own, my pop-up camper, my ATVs and trailer are all payed for. This my friend is how I enjoy traveling. I am trying to buy a house, BUT thats a joke anymore. SO I live it and love it.

I LOVE my SSA!!

Fuck that. What happens when you die the day you retire?

I can agree with all of this. I listen to music from the time I wake up until I go to bed. I Am ALSO A low voltage nutt and LOVE working on cars.

Let me travel and build with my hands and I am happy.
