half day at work today, yeehaw!

You could, but it would be a waste of time and money. If you put the 18 from like 0 to 30 hz it would hardly every play anything because barely any music goes that low, so you may as well just use the 12. And you can only go up to 60-maybe 80 hz with either driver, and the 18 will easily handle that, so no real reason to have a 12 to go any higher. It just doesn't make sense to have two drivers split up to play only 80 hz total of the music spectrum. It would be much more favorable to just choose either the 12 or 18, then build a 3-way component set up front, because in that case the 8" midwoofer would play 60-300 hz or whatever, and sound much better doing it.

Are you sure it isn't seized? My gf seized her engine from lack of oil. Oh i just saw you said it cranked but wouldn't start. guess it's not seized.

Never really thought about it. I'd have to order another port from PE to do that. I guess I'll just see how this turns out first.....and if I don't like it I'll build another one with longer ports and have them stick out the top. or you could just go to your local hardware store and buy some 3" PVC in like a 5 foot section and just cut it down to what you want, then stick the ends from the aeroport on it.

I think there are many misconceptions about college. Many think it's only for rich kids or whatever. False. Rich kids actually get penalized for being rich. If you fill out a FAFSA form, one of the things on there is to list how much money your parents make. If they make a lot, you won't get as much or any financial aid. The system is set up to help poorer familes get a child into college. Also, kids may just not know about scholarships. There are a TON of them out there. The university you choose will give you a lot of money if you have good grades in high school, have a good ACT/SAT score, and/or graduate in the top couple percent in your class (there's another kick in the butt to get young people motivated in high school). Student loans aren't the worst thing in the world, either. If you aren't a jackoff during college and actually have a part time job (even just during the summer like I had for a couple years) instead of getting plastered every night and running your debt up higher, student loans can be very reasonable after graduation even if you only manage a mediocre job right out of the gate. Second thing about college is that lots of people come out of there without the ability to get a job and wonder why. Hmm, maybe it's because you graduated with 4000 other kids who got a psychology degree from your ONE school? How many across the country do you think that is? Many majors are nearly worthless in the real world outside of university research. If you do get a psychology, communications, sports management, etc. degree. you will almost HAVE to go to graduate school and get a masters or PhD to separate yourself from the thousands of others just like you. But if you get an engineering degree you can basically get a job the instant the diploma is handed to you. I graduated with a degree in Geology, one of I think 3 people at the entire University of Kansas that got it that year. I got a job offer from the first place I applied. With that last paragraph said, it is still important to do what you like, obviously. But you have to realize the facts about your major. It may take more work in your college years to get a degree in electrical engineering, but it may take a lot more work years after college to succeed with a psychology degree.

bastard

quoting so we all read it again in case we missed it. Different speakers inside play different frequencies. and even if you built the same box for both subs, say 2 cubes @ 32 hz, they will still sound different because they respond differently in that size and tune of box. It may take the BTL a 2 cube @ 32 box to have the same frequency response as the Kicker at 3 cubes @ 29 hz, or something.

That is not a skill that chicks want. They want nunchaku skills or computer hacking skills.

How would they drown each other out? Wouldn't one have to drown out the other? and......no. don't do it. They sound and behave differently.

These last few nights have been amazing (weather). Freakin' beautiful, man.

why not make it smaller and save space since obviously you don't have much to begin with back there?

Yep, I had the same viewpoint but just in slightly fewer words.

wow the skies were angry this morning.

having a nice little storm this morning. Rode my bike to the store last night. Great thing about that is that hot girls are always out walking with their dogs or just running in the evening, and they always smile at you. I even got smiled at by an attractive middle-aged lady in a convertible Benz.

Does it crank easily when you start it but just not turn over or does it have a slow crank too? If it cranks but just doesn't start it's not a battery problem and could be starter, fuel delivery, etc. Slow crank is indicative of not enough electrical power. Is your voltage where it should be?

Covered at least most of the holes in my front door. See if you can hear the difference, I could: OK, that one was joke . Here's the real one:

I did a Momentum article on an M3 with the full Dinan package with that exact Powerdyne. I just went to look and my old Photodump account is dead, or I have long forgotten the password. In addition, I checked on CS.org and the server is busy so I cannot link the article. Wrote it some 4 years ago, but still applicable in this instance. I miss writing for Momentum, in a way I would like to restart the Mag. I know Neil enjoys writing, and maybe we could get a few others to bring it back to life supported here. I know AudioJunkies is there for a reason, but maybe bringing back Momentum which was more focused on the average experienced audio and automotive nut on the net would be worth it. I'd love to see your article. http://forum.carstereos.org/momentum-magazine-f82.html Not sure which edition it is.

Have you looked at www.digi-key.com? They have friggin everything. I've bought twice from them and they are very good and timely.

Why not open it up and take a look? Might be an easy fix.

Because most stock speakers are poor full range single speakers, putting in even an aftermarket coaxial should sound better. But it's usually worth the small effort to convert to a 6.5" speaker and especially if you do components instead of coaxial.

The thing I hate is when schools use money because if they don't, they'll lose the extra funding next year. So they do something totally facetious and essentially waste the money, taking it away from other schools in the state that may actually need it for more fundamental needs. We need a better system that is not solely based on the previous year's spending and weighs needs for the upcoming year much more heavily.

I outlined how to about 6 posts up.

Because he wants to make money. Learn to filter his biases out of your buying decision.

No, they implement attendance rules because there is a direct relationship between those actually in the classroom and those who succeed. I highly, highly doubt that kids get Cs because the system doesn't care if they succeed. You get Cs by not trying hard enough. The system is set in place, it's up to the student as to what level they achieve. Are there students getting As at your school? Hmm, I bet so. What makes them different? Aren't they at the same underfunded school? Believe me, I was actually in high school not too long ago. Walk around the halls and take a look at the kids who get As and the kids who get Cs and Ds. HUGE discrepency in types of kids in those two groups. Namely discipline. I guarantee that home life has a larger impact on a student's success than anything the school does. Plus if you succeed in a crappy high school, say get top certain percent (maybe 5 or something), you get a scholarship to a university. Once you're in college, high school doesn't matter anymore.

definitely don't pay 1300 for that and definitely try installing yourself. F-150s are pretty easy to install in. No real tight places and the truck is higher so you aren't bending over the whole time.
