    Imaging, phase, and soundstage

    No...unfortunately....it doesn't The speakers off-axis (or on-axis) frequency response wouldn't play a roll in this decision? Is it safe to make the blanket claim that with no speaker does aiming matter? Hmm....I dunno. After reading this I decided to go out and play around in my car some (since I have digital time alignment available in .1ms steps). Mids and tweets mounted in doors. I must say....the difference between 0 delay and 2.0ms delay, imaging and tonality wise, was huge. With 0 time delay the sound was diffused, no real center image to speak of at all, and you could clearly tell that you were sitting directly next to the speakers on the driver's side. With 2ms time delay the sound was much more coherent, tonality improved greatly as it didn't sound like a mumbled up mess, and the image was fairly well centered now. Tried this with both music and the 7 drum beat track. Experienced the same affects on both. And as you turned the knob to increase or decrease delay, you could clearly hear the image and diffusion (or coherentness) increase and decrease....almost like it was sliding along a scale. Psychoacoustics? I guess I can't write it off completely, since I have no way of doing an ABX test. Or maybe the deck's "2ms delay" isn't a true 2ms? I dunno.......
  3. Don't even concern yourself with the THD figures. Any quality amp will have distortion that is within the inaudible range. You'll hear no difference between .05% and .002%, and you'll hear no difference between .9% and .002%.

    You are about to be pwnd.... But yeah...I generally don't ship till the funds clear into my account even if they pay by instant transfer or whatever off of a credit card incase it's a stolen account or something that hasn't been caught yet. I figure once the $$'s in my account I'm safe...that chits mine then.

    Yeah Kent......I think we are starting something aweful over there....LOL Oh well, I've been bored lately. Not much that's interesting happening on the board lately. Needed something to keep my time occupied

    Just arrived part duex...

    Careful with those mids. One of mine started scrapping. I yanked both the mids today and tossed my Coustic DR's back in with the Next passives and tweets. I disassembled the mid that was scrapping and there was all kinds of chit up in the gap....... So, just be sure to use a very fine grill cloth with them, and keep them away from any metal shavings/etc that could get in the gap prior to installation (from like a workbench or what-have-you). PS: Whenever I get bored enough and get a camera, I plan on having the other mid meet it's demise with a 2hz sine wave @ [up to] 800w RMS

    And what the hell does it mean when a person's name in the "members viewing" section becomes italicized?? Does it mean they are responding to the thread?
  17. Impious

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Maybe have a "guest section", where one week each month we have an industry "heavy hitter" come in and basically members can ask questions directly at this person. It wouldn't be bad. You'd only have to come up with 12 people a year. Big name competitors. People in the industry. Big name shop owners. Etc etc. Heavily moderated to curtail any BS in that section. I dunno....I'm just grabbing at thin air here......

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I can get on that, and I can try to get others to post up. But how if someone posts the end all - be all of "how to crimp wire", then that doesnt create alot of discussion here. Hits, yes... traffic, no. Yeah...but the more people that "hit" the site, the more likely they'll see something else that peaks their interest. Sort of like the companies (*cough* Walmart *cough*) that have "HUGE SALES" on certain merchandise....which mysteriously is never in stock during the sale period. Gets you in the door, and they hope something else suits your fancy while you're there. I dunno, some people don't like the vbb software that we have here, or the dark / light skins. I dont mind them, but i supppose they could be different. <shrug> Yeah....see your point. Easier PM mgmt, "karma", galleries, i dunno. GALLERIES!!!!

    Welcome to the IHoP

    YAY! Boooo Like? Ehh....pretty good right now towards manufacturer involvement I don't get it? Tech Articles. How-to's. Calculators. Gallery would be nice I'd keep away from glitz (personally) and focus more on stuff that matters.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    i'd like to see us host some easy to use and accurate calculators. i know that carstereo has a few good ones...i'd think something like that would go along way. but we have this talk every so often, and nothing seems to happen with it. i don't know...we need more n0obs is the problem, but then, they become a problem..lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee More n00bs = :twothumbsdown: You don't need more n00bs for sure. Try to keep it an intellectual forum rather than a "Where can I buy RE?!?!?! How much is an XXX?!?!?!" forum like crapaudio.com. You need to have more experienced people start regularing the forum.
