Would there be a market for any flat-pack full range enclosures and what not?

In theory I suppose one could do a tractrix on a cnc mill for the rough shape for the inside... Damn it Jim... I have other things to be thinking about right now than this.

Your ideas are going to get me into trouble Jim.

Something like horn loaded midbass going to a tractrix horn w/ a full range for above 250ish then?

That'd get you down at least into the 500Hz area Seriously, there really isn't someone making DIY-priced Tractrix horns in the States right now. Jamo in Germany sells them on Ebay, but with the rise of the Euro and the shipping cost a couple-hundred Euro horn gets very pricey fast. BD-Designs in the Netherlands starts at a few grand. Forgive the dummy here, but what is so great about a Tractrix anyways? Just curious Just an extension of PA horns, except with a perfectly round pattern and efficient as hell Also, the big ones use full rangers instead of compression drivers...so you'll have 250Hz and up taken care of by the horn, for example, the rest from the midbasses... Oh now I'm interested...

It is a GM. Short Answer. Nope.

Jim, I think it would be fairly easy to make a set of tractrix horns on a lathe provided it can swing big enough... My boss's big one will do 16" and you just set it up with a plexi pattern to turn against so you can get the same thing. Damn it. Now you've got me thinking.

Will they be able to keep the IRS from breaking on that CTS-V?

Polacks can usually drink. And these guys are straight Polacks too, not descendents of descendents of.... Sound like its going to be great then How do you get a one armed Polack out of a tree?? Wave at 'em.

Question on a custom grill... Would it be advantageous on a custom grill setup (using wood) to be able to quench it with CO2 when done grilling and therefore the next time you would have the wood already in a good state, just relight? I don't know shit about grills, just been thinking about this. It seems to me when using wood to grill when you get everything like you want it, you cook your food, then it just slowly burns out but if you could just put it out, then relight it next time... Opinions on how stupid this idea is?

Hmmm, I'm trying to figure out what kind of speakers I am going to put on the side of this TV cart that I'm am building at work... Isn't tall enough for a line array, don't want a standard 2-way boring thing sticking out there.. I'm thinking something like a 6" in a folded transmission line, but I'm not sure.

One of these days my brother is going to get married... My bet is that he'll get engaged at the end of the summer.

Agreed. My school recently got a nursing program so they are just crawling everywhere But then again there's a lot of older women too....... Gotta love the nursing programs... All the girls that I went to school with that did nursing are very cute, study hard and party harder.

gotta love the scenery that walks by in the student union around lunch time.

Ya'll ain't talking much...

Went to Dillons last night too, had to get some groceries. I had been drinking so that made the trip all the more enjoyable... Walk in and the roomie grabs a cart and they have a drink holder on the top of it. I see this and immediately comment "Oh Sweet, they even give me a place to put my beer!" There was an older redneck looking fella that was walking in front of us and as soon as I said that he busted up laughing and ducked down an isle to stop from laughing at me. The roomie found it quite hilarious.

Dropped off the rent checks last night then got sidetracked for 45min because the landlord had his '56 'Vette there so he had to show me and my roommate who is a 'vette fanatic. It is almost all original, and in awesome shape, I was quite surprised.

Shoulda brought my pool cue and gone to play pool, eh, may do it anyways and use a house cue.

Chillin in the student union...

Wow... A local council employee in Japan has been punished after it was discovered he had accessed porn websites at work more than 780,000 times in nine months. His superiors were alerted to the problem only when his computer became infected with a virus. The 57-year-old man, who has not been named, works for the city of Kinokawa in southern Japan. He held on to his job, but has been demoted and his wages have been cut by about 20,000 yen ($190;

And why the hell are razor blades so damn expensive.... Tom must have saved a pretty serious chunk of change by now for not shaving at all...

I saw that last night and though of my roommate.
