English? Sorry, I had to.

This is something that I've been thinking about for the last few days. Conventional wisdom says to work out in the morning, as it will give you energy for the day. But, for as long as I can remember, workouts just make me exhausted. I'm fine right afterwards, but a few hours later all I want to do is sleep. After one workout this past week, I had to make a 45 minute drive for an appointment and I damn near fell asleep while driving. On the days that I do end up falling asleep, when I wake up I have absolutely no energy and am usually pretty bitchy (if it's possible for a guy to be bitchy ). Like I said, I've been this way for as long as I've been working out (off and on for about 10 years). It does't seem to matter if I'm doing weights or cardio, both have the same effect. My diet isn't perfect and does need some work, but it's not complete crap either. I average about 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night during the week, and about 6 or so on the weekends when I work. Any ideas where to start at trying to figure out why this is happening? Should I just work out in the afternoon or a few hours before I go to bed, even though it would be a lot less convenient than in the morning?

^^This, and will there be a pre-sale? Dumb question, but what's the rating at 2 ohms? 500 watts?

Very nice. I'm going to be keeping my eyes on this. Looks like I might have to start saving some money.

How much power are each of his subs getting? I did a search for that amp, but couldn't find anything. I think so. I used a ported box calculator not that long ago, and if I remember correctly, the neo box was significantly smaller than the one for the regular TBs. Not sure how accurate the calculator was, but according to 95Honda's info of .3-.4, it was pretty much right on (it told me .76 ft3 for a pair).

I'd say 95% of the time I eat like a fricking horse. It's not alway healthy , but I try. The afternoon workouts might work for me. Most of the time I don't have anything going on after lunch, so it could be an option. I'll give it a try after vacation next week and see how it goes.

I've actually been trying to decide which of these to get also. I think I've finally decided to go with the Neos. (Sorry for the thread jack.)

You won't be disappointed.

Had a good transaction with bcst86. He bought my old setup. Excellent communication and quick payment. Would definitely do business with him again.

That'll buff out.

Welcome, but the Missouri side? Ewwww.

If a sealed 12" could fit, how about a ported 10"? According to SSA's specs, optimal sealed for the 12" is 1.20 cubic feet, but you could go as small as 1.0 cubic feet ported for the 10". Not sure how big the box would be after all displacements, but I can say from first hand experience that a single ported 10" Dcon on 300 watts is simply amazing. The only reason I got rid of mine was that I wanted to try something different. Edit: LOL, you ninja'd my response.

I was wanting to order an SSA hat and shirt to wear on vacation. The hat is to keep me from burning my head, because I end up doing it every year. You think I'd learn. Anyway, I looked on the site and didn't see anywhere that gave an estimated shipping time. About how long would it take to ship them? We're leaving on the 21st and I don't want to order them and not get them in time (although I would wear them in the future).

Videos or it never happened. Hell, for that price I'm tempted to try like 6 or 8 of them.

Thanks for the link. I want to be sure of how much space I'm going to be taking up before buying, as I'm on a pretty tight budget for this project.

I'm still trying to decide what I want to do for my summer build. I want to try a multiple sub setup (3 or 4) just because I've never had more than two subs before. Anyway, I found this simple calculator: http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=26 When I put in the parameters for the subs I'm looking at, I use the suggested Qtc of 0.707. With every sub I've tried, this gives me an enclosure volume a little larger than I'd like to use. I noticed in the "note" that you can use a Qtc of 0.9-1.2. When doing this, it brings the enclosure size down significantly. My question is, what are the drawbacks and advantages of not using the suggested Qtc of 0.707?

The main thing I'm concerned with is building the wrong size box and damaging the subs. I want to keep the box as small as possible but don't want it to sound like ass.

I've been playing around with WinISD, but I'm a total noob with it.

We've got two lakes close by with spillways like that. The power of the water coming out always amazed me.

Finally getting back into somewhat of a routine. Today I did some circuits using a 35lb kettlebell, pullup bar and pushups. Kettlebell-three reps of each, everything done transitioning from one to the other: Swings to snatches to presses to squats. Pullups-I used the parallel grips on my Iron Gym. I prefer the feel of the hand positioning rather than regular chinups or pullups. Pushups-Just regular old pushups. Nothing fancy. I did this circuit 4 times through with two minutes rest between each set. Very good, quick workout that really got my heart racing and the sweat pouring.

^^This. It hurts my back just watching videos of people deadlifting ungodly weight with piss poor form. I'd rather see a modest weight with flawless form.

Bahahaha!!
