    Omega Midbass (22mm of xmax)

    I would actually like to see a response to Dan Wiggins' call-out on CAF, where he flat out called your BL graph a hoax and a lie. Feandil mysteriously dived out of that thread directly after that. I would post the link, but I get that damned "The server is too busy at the moment. Please try again later." message again.

    Processor/EQ

    Behringer doesn't have a good EQ/Xover combination. You'd have to get a pair of Behringers. And, at the point, I'd rather suggest you go with a db DriveRack PA and convert it to 12V. But, for about the same cost you could just go with an Alpine H701 and C701. Going this route, you could find a sound card with digital output and run digital back to the H701. Zapco also just came out with a new processor. Can't think of the name offhand. Zapco also just came out with their Digital Reference amplifiers...which have a ton of active control built right in. Or, the Kicker SX series amps likewise have a ton of active control built in. Not as much as the new Zapco's, but at a much lower price point.

    Type of install for 2 IDW 15's

    I told you why on CA.com High efficiency = large enclosure That didn't make sense, I've been doing research... I kinda get it now... :learning: Hoffman's Iron Law. You can only have two of the following three; 1) Small box 2) High efficiency 3) Low frequency extention. Obviously, therefore, a high efficiency sub (such as the IDW) in a small enclosure (like 2cuft) is not going to have any low frequency extension. If you want high efficiency, and low frequency extension, you are therefore going to need a non-small enclosure (or, in other words, a large enclosure). There is no escaping Hoffman's Iron Law. That's why it's a law and not a theory Fact of physics man. Those are going to need a large enclosure.

    What's Your Opinion of Commission Only Jobs??

    They are under the umbrella of Conseco (you know...who the dome in Indy is named after), and have been around since 1879 Oh...and Dick Van Dyke is their spokesperson. I don't think he'd hop on with just anybody....much less a semi-shady company.

    Whatcha mean? Yeah, it would be like an independent contractor. So yeah..gas, cell phone, home phone, etc could all be write-offs if I used 'em for work

    What's Your Opinion of Commission Only Jobs??

    Well, another thing working in this job's favor.....it would be selling life and health insurance to primarily senior citizens (medicare suppliments, long term health care, life insurance, annuities, etc). And now take into account that the Baby Boomers are now hitting the senior citizen ages...the market is pretty open as far as client base goes, and will stay that way for atleast the next 10-15years since a HUGE mass of people will all be/are hitting their senior citizen ages. Here's a link; http://www.bankerslife.com/Web/AgentCareer...sPotential.aspx Spanks for the opinions so far!

    loud button bad???

    Well, I only read through part of the thread, so if this is simply a restatement...forgive me. Distortion, clipping and underpowering will not damage a speaker by itself. I can send a fully clipped 100w signal (200w power) to a true 500w subwoofer and not do a lick of damage to it. It is not the act of clipping, the act of distortion or the act of underpowering that damages a speaker. It is, plain and simply, power. As we all know, a clipped signal contains 2x more power than an unclipped signal. Now, that 100w amplifier of yours may damage a 150w speaker at full clipping. But, the damage was not caused by the clipping, it was caused by the excess power caused by the clipping, and that power exceeding the thermal or mechanical limitations of the speaker. The only two ways to damage a speaker are by exceeding it's thermal limits or exceeding it's mechanical limits. If the power of the signal does not do those two things, it plain and simply will not damage the speaker. Now, you could say that we are simply into a debate of semantics. But I wholeheartedly disagree. As I mentioned before, send a fully clipped signal to a speaker that can mechanically and thermally handle the power, and no damage will be done. Because power is the damaging factor, not the signal. And that is the important thing to emphasize in these debates.

    I've never ever ever used the chat room. I think I logged into it once....and I was the only one there so I left

    They would still have to stock all of the parts, and have any parts that aren't off the shelf custom tooled. And that would cost $$.

    http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showpost.php...78&postcount=67 Stupid mother fucker. I had been asking about these for two weeks, but wanted to wait and see pics first. And then this dickweed jumps in out of nowhere, knows nothing about them and buys them "on a whim" because everybody else wants them? That's just cold. Stupid little dumbfuck. I hope his ignorant ass fries them.

    You should have one proto'd up just to play around with

    Newsletter Feedback

    Like I told Steve, I think it's a great idea as long as it maintains it's informational value. And like Jntar said...would be great to begin making it a little more indepth in design and content, and a momentum-esque article feature would be cool beans aswell. I'd be down for helping whenever necessary if needed.
