Will it work? stay tuned!!!

Triceps are involved in bench / push movements. Never do bench one day then triceps the next. If you did bench movements today you should do biceps, rows, ect tmw. Next day legs. Then the next day back to pushing exercises. You need 3 days between working out the same muscle groups to expele lactic acid and rebuild muscle tissue.

Easiest way to fix the camber is to just take out the bass. May just need an alignment. If the suspension can handle the weight that's all it'll need.

Feel really sorry for the trunk lid.

You need to stay at home more. And I still have 19 days left to this period. I don't lie.

Just got an email saying she's used 75% of her 2 gigs. And the month doesn't revolve until the 26th.

Yeah...but it's either that or just not have a data plan. With needing 4 phones I really don't want to spend much more than $100 per phone or the cost of entry is just not something I'm willing to expend.I assume two are for kids/teens? If you don't have wifi at home 2 gigs per phone won't be enough. My sister averages 3 gigs on Facebook alone. And don't plan on streaming music like pandora on 2 gigs. My phone is grandfathered in for unlimited data and I average 50-60 gigs. This is maybe an hr a day web, 3 hrs a day streaming music, and one movie every 3 days or so.

I love calling directv. One of those love hate deals, but they always make things right with me. I will ask to make sure our conversation is recorded and provide me with the case number so when I call back they can refer to it. Don't forget to add in the $10 fee a month for genie. It ain't free.

Lol, yah. If it weren't for him I would of had a catastrophic failure from one of the major components. Luckily he seen it early and I was able to remedy it. At this point I'd rather not say what it was out of respect to the maker. I'll leave it up to the close-minded to assume its my horrible CT-Sounds amps for now.Over look on my part bring stingy with the glue. Spent all day today addressing the situation. If any of the other spider packs delaminate let me know and I'll send out recones.

10's are always better than 8's in a ported alignment simply due to enclosure volume. A 8" might use .6-1 cft and the 10 might use 1-1.5 cft but this is total net volume. When you combine proper port area to each driver the 8" sub will have the same if not larger total enclosure volume. Then add that the 10 inch driver has way more displacement than an 8 inch it's a no brainer. Even if you don't need the output you can back off the gain with the 10 and have a cleaner sound due to less distress. Summary. 10 equals same size if not smaller box than the 8 plus more output and possible cleaner output. I'd personally do a single 12 on drivers side down-fired with the port firing to the passenger door as it would be the same output as the two 10's and be cheaper. That's IF your installer has the ability to do such an install. After 500 or so installs under back seats of trucks that's what I'd do. But mt second option would be two 10's downfired on driver side with port firing towards passenger door. The one thing you do NOT want is to face the port or the sub forward. You want them to load off of something being that close to you.

I'll try to put this in Laymen's terms as much as possible. I will not go into hand calculating as it is tedious and the tables are too much to copy here. To hand calculate purchase a copy of the Loudspeaker Cookbook. I use the calculator on Car Stereo's site as it is close to doing it by hand. http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=27 The reference for the following in formation: Vance Dickason, "Loudspeaker Design Cookbook 7th Edition," Audio Amateur Press,2006. DEFINITIONS. A sealed rear chamber bandpass enclosure is basically a closed-box system with the addition of an acoustic filter in series with the front radiation of the driver. TERMS. fb = tuning frequency of front chamber vent fl = f3 of low frequency rolloff fh = f3 of high frequency rolloff Lv = vent length Qbp = q of bandpass rear chamber R = vent radius S = passband ripple (variation in magnitude response / boost in output) Vf = volume of front chamber Vr = volume of rear chamber Vt = total volume of both chambers WOOFER SELECTION. Drivers with higher Qts normally yield lower f3 rolloffs. If it works well in a sealed box it should work well in 4th order bandpass Using the terms form the cookbook I'll walk through how to use the calculator on carstereo. 1. number of drivers. simple input the number of subs you are using. 2. Isobaric or not? This set up will not be isobaric. 3.enter parameters of the driver. I'll be using the Ethos 15. Qts = .64 Vas = 95.9 liters / 3.386 cubic feet fs = 25.78 4. choose an "s" factor The "s" or ripple factor is a ripple or a peak or valley shown in the passband between the low and high roll off. When you model a sub and the line isn't straight and it dips or is raised this is ripple or "S" factor. A factor of .7 will have a flatter response than .6 and .5. "S" factor is also an indicator of transient response and passband. A "S" factor of .5 will have a degraded transient response than .7 however will have a larger passband, but will normally require a smaller box. As always the triangle applies. You won't have a small box with a large passband and tight response. For now we will choose a S factor of .7 5. choose fl or lower roll off. EVERYONE likes the lows so let's choose 20 hz 6. Hit calculate and see what you get. We get: Vf = 2.718 Vr = 7.123 (wow really big this won't fit) Qbp .78 (normally we would worry about the system Q when modeling by hand. It's the second thing you look at after S factor. Qbp is an indicator of sensitivity and normally you want a sensitivity of zero but the calculator calculates sensitivity automatically so Qbp isn't a biggie to worry about. BUT just like in a sealed box normally a total Q of around .7 is what most people prefer) fb = 31.31 hz passband = 20-49 hz (high f3 is a bit low, id like to at least play up into the 60's) gain = 3.39 (this is pretty good. you don't want to go much higher than 3 db. The higher the sensitivity the less power the sub will need and you might run into mechanical failure if you are not careful) 7. This box will definantly not fit. Since we know "s" factor affects box size let's choose a factor of .6 We recalculate and get the following Vf = 1.997 Vr = 4.451 Qbp .85 fb = 34.21 hz passband = 20-58.51 hz (high f3 is still a bit low) gain = .76 (still in good range ) so, now box is a good bit smaller and will fit in my car BUT I want a higher fH. 8. lets choose a s factor of .5 since we now know "S" factor effects volume and we get: Vf = 1.387 Vr = 2.963 (awsome box is even smaller) Qbp .94 fb = 37.74 hz passband = 20-71.21 hz (high f3 is now where I want it) gain = negative 2.61 (wow this box will be down almost 3 db in its passband ) Since we know "s" factor affects box volume and passband and those are good lets change the low rolloff and see if it'll fix the sensitivity. 9. lets set it to 25hz. I think that'll be low enough and we get: Vf = 1.387 (see we used the same s factor and it remained the same) Vr = 1.814 Qbp .1.08 fb = 43.65 hz passband = 25-76.21 hz (high f3 is a bit high but I'll use the filter on the amp to bring this down a bit. gain = 3.21 This looks like it'll be the best compromise. Small enough box to fit in my car, passband is pretty good for the sub stage, and the gain is not too high that i'm gonna have to worry about damaging my sub.

just backseat below window line

around 3.5 cubes a piece tuned low 30's I believe

I seriously doubt the gains cranked up

You're moving too slow! Lol he's just ensuring good wood glue adhesion.

First set of Ethos 18's right there

Thanks to Alton below will be the new demo vehicle.

Don't just calculate your "work time". If your away from home at a hotel run your time away from the family around the clock and see what the pay looks like. Trust the word of someone that has worked 70-90 hrs a week. It's not worth it no matter the money.

started design work on the rear half of the chassis. Will be 2x2 x 1/4 wall steel tubing.

I have received lots of emails asking how to join Team DSS so I am posting the stipulations to join below. DSS only wants dedicated team member that are highly involved in the industry. The below rules will insure this. 1) TEAM DSS IS BY INVITATION ONLY. (purchasing DSS product alone does NOT make you eligible for the team.) 2) INTERESTED COMPETITORS MUST HAVE ATTENDED AND RAN AT THE PREVIOUSLY YEARS FINALS. 3) THE MOST IMPORTANT STIPULATION. INTERESTED COMPETITORS MUST BE REFEREED BY CURRENT TEAM MEMBERS. MEANING IF A COMPETITOR IS INTERESTED A CURRENT TEAM MEMBER MUST CONTACT DDS AND PERSONALLY REFER THE COMPETITOR. 4) COMPETITORS THAT ARE ELIGIBLE TO JOIN THE TEAM MUST COMPLETE A NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. NOTE THAT THE NDA IS A BINDING CONTRACT THAT PROTECTS BOTH THE COMPETITOR AND DSS COMPANY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, INFORMATION, TRADE SECRETS, AND OR PRICING. COMPETITORS THAT DO NOT MAINTAIN THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE CONTRACT WILL BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES OF FEDERAL LAW. ANY AND ALL PM'S, EMAILS, AND OR PHONE CALLS REGARDING JOINING THE TEAM FROM NON-TEAM MEMBERS WILL BE IGNORED.

Don't take this as condescending, as I think this an important question. Does the military not offer trained specialists to help with this sort of thing. Even if not on active duty if there is even the slightest Chance of you guys having to go out and risk you life y'all should have the best specialists available to ensure you are in the best shape possible.

Lots of overtime. Not worth it. Once you hit 32 hours overtime in a week you start making nearly the same as straight time. Over 40 your making less than straight time. I got a little OT experience. ~1,500 hrs OT last year. I work 7 on 2 off 12hrs with between 2 and 4 hrs drive time per day.

It'll be all good by the time I'm finished with it.
