    Welcome to the IHoP

    A coworker begged me to try these horseradish and whatever else laced pickles. They were real hot while you were chewing, but then nothing. No residual burning like with peppers. it was kinda weird. But then when supper time came around 4 hours later, this bad taste crept into my mouth and made me kinda ill feeling. Certainly lost my appetite, but I forced a little down anyways. I've tried milk, bread, and brushing my teeth, and there is still some lingering taste, which is making the stomach upsetness stick around. ugh. This is going to be another bad night's sleep, I can tell.

    God I hated Kansas. No offense, but you're about the only cool thing I know from kansas. I'm sure there are more, but jesus was it awefull driving through there. hey, what about me? OK OK you too. I never put the KU thing together untill now =P Well, I guess I could just be uncool, too. That would eliminate me from your list.

    on axis? off axis?

    anything at 45 degrees from you would be off axis. Only basically staring straight into the speaker is on axis. If you have the tweeter swiveled or mounted so that it's pointed at your head, it would be on axis, 0 degrees. If that tweeter (I assume you're talking about the driver's side) is pointing straight across to the passenger side's A-pillar, then you'd be approximately 45 degrees off axis when sitting in the driver's seat.

    Resin in box?

    If you have tested it with and without and not noticed a difference in your SPL numbers, doesn't that answer your own question? But for more info, look in this thread: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...c=22166&hl=

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Same bullshit job as here. And Fort Riley would be an idea, but honestly after visiting 2 years ago.........and my new NCOIC being there last.......nah i will pass. And as for the German beer, that is a draw, but going someplace where I don't pretty much immediatly go to Iraq is more of a draw. Plus I could of gone to Germany earlier this year. J Yeah......Ft. Riley sucks. Junction City (which it is near) is, IMO, the worst city in kansas. Leavenworth would be better, but you have to realize that there is a maximum security prison there. Those types of towns usually have a different air about them. However, I don't know if you have to live on the base or not, but Leavenworth is in a decent part of the state so you could take your pick from a bunch of nice places within a 30 minute drive of there. Plus it's right outside of Kansas City, so you have lots to do there. This is my neck of the woods, btw, I only live about 30 miles from Leavenworth. Hawaii would be really nice, but expensive. Median income is about 10k more than the rest of the country. Florida has good parts and bad. I'll let those who live there chime in (if anybody does, haha). I've been there once, to Orlando, and I thought it was pretty cool. All tropical and lush and exciting. But I was just visiting, so not sure how it would be living there. And it does have some pretty bad parts. I just read an article today that the panhandle of Florida is like the center of sex trafficking in the US. Where people kidnap teens mainly, gang rape and beat them, and sell them to people in other states as a sex slave. Well, that sure paints a nice picture, doesn't it. I don't know much about Alabama other than I believe it's one of the poorest states in the US.

    Nasty noise!!??

    does it have the sound when it's playing free air outside the box as well? What box is it in?

    Looking for better midrange

    I have no experience with them, but have you thought about horns under the dash? I like the 2" full range idea, and I also wouldn't be worried about not having a tweeter as I hate them screeching highs too.

    Glassing

    Have you modeled them up in some software with the box you intend on using? IIRC, those were some kinda pesky subs with regards to their frequency response and what boxes they like. But the one install I'm thinking of had one 18" and an 18" passive radiator and it was a number of years ago.
  10. with almost 3k watts and 3 amps I'd actually go bigger than 1/0. You won't find that in a wiring kit, you'll have to buy it all separately. Which sometimes works out in your favor because some kits charge extra because of the name on it or for throwing in things you don't need.

    2010 Chevrolet Camaro

    Looks all right to me. I thought it looked better in Transformers, though, but I'm not sure if it was just because it was the first time I saw it or if they changed anything. By the look of the driver in that one side-shot, I'm not going to fit in it, at least comfortably. Although I've never liked the way I've fit in either of the last two models, either. The head unit is a little space-ship looking. But unique, I guess. The speedometer and tach look pulled straight out of a 60's-70's model. I also hate the skinny side windows that these cars are coming with these days. IMO, the Challenger looks very basic, Camaro looks a little better, but the Mustang looks the best. But at the same time, I doubt I'd like to drive any of them because of the high hood in relation to where you look out. I can't stand not being able to see the road less than 50' in front of the car.

    Glassing

    haha internal combustion. Somebody from PG was having a clown day. As for MDF, 3/4 with glass is fine. I think fiberglass is stronger than wood anyways. Those are some pretty serious, rare, and expensive subs. Where did you find them? and what box is this that they're going in?
  14. KU40

    Shorted out Sub/Amp?..messed somethin up

    How far back is back in the day? I had a head unit from 2000 from them that did it.
  15. KU40

    whats the difference

    I wouldn't run a BTL on 4000 watts daily. They are great woofers, but very few can take twice their RMS. Not only that, but the two 18s would be louder not only because of the increased surface area/displacement, but because the woofers will have less power compression. the 10 cubic foot box will be more efficient, play lower, and have a more level frequency response graph. The smaller box will have more of a peak above tuning.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Actually, it's pretty scary that it can go up that much, just as scary as it going down... The markets shouldn't be that volatile in either direction yeah it is. very scary to me. 2 trillion dollars made/lost in one day with those kinds of swings. That's insanity, and the world will have 0 confidence in us if that continues too much longer. Why in the world do you love the volatility vladd? You're a chaos-monger, aren't you?

    I would be nervous throwing a $25 lure!
  18. anybody can mess up even a pro's install with the wrong hand on the volume knob.
  19. KU40

    numbers for a sealed setup

    volume is db output, aka decibels are the unit of measure for loudness. So they are the same. That being said, impossible to tell you since you didn't state vehicle, power, or box size. Even then, unless somebody has a very similar car with very similar power any numbers you get would be useless. I'm trying not to rag on the question too much because at least you didn't come on here like many 16 year olds with this question typing "whats the db's yalls gettin wit ur Q in sealed box?" I imagine it will be loud enough for her.

    Don't you mean the same? As in delete them both? Sometimes you ask a leading question to make a point. gotcha. after i posted that I reread it and thought hmm, maybe he means that instead. But I said oh well, could be thought of both ways.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    actually it's a tie now that I think about it. But the ones I lost were Strike King spinnerbaits, one blue/black and one a yellowish green. My other favorite ones are just yellowish green jigs, they have a white head, thin plastic body, and two small straight tails/legs. They're nothing fancy, the spinnerbaits are only $2 apiece and the jigs come in like a 5 pack for $3. I'm still learning how to use crankbaits because I've never used them before this year. I still haven't used power bait/plastic worms much yet, either. So I'm missing out on a lot. Growing up the only bass I fished for was at farm ponds and they would eat simple jigs all day, no matter how you retrieved it. They were just so hungry, haha.
