I kind of saw it coming... I wanted to see how it was going to end in a bad wreck?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I was about to say, I don't know exactly, but I bet it'll involve lots of crumpled metal

6kW, multiple component sets, a competition alternator, "blast sum bass"... And best SQ? This just keeps getting more confusing as it progresses

Time to call home. If I don't, my mom's personally going to drive up here and kick my ass, and she never gets on an interstate for anything.

I was waiting for him to cut the tires next or something.

Aw, the fun build log got closed

Just a hint, I don't know if you were including log/cue files, but we like that

Just tried that and got the same message. It asploded

Where are you getting this message? Haven't noticed that before...

My baby mamas haven't called or shown up yet, so...

That's a total myth Getting to the pinnacle of either requires a lot of time, a lot of testing, and knowledge of the black arts that go into it. And the Camry shows that you can come across something that does pretty well for SQ, just by playing around with things Likewise, there are people that have gotten some pretty good results in the SPL lanes just by trying something right off the bat. You make a very good point. This discussion comes up every now and then even in the high-end home audio circles, at what point does piss-poor recording quality diminish the results of the stereo? To me if there's obvious musical talent on the recording, it could be an original acetate 78 in mono and it would come through. If there isn't magic on the recording to begin with, it doesn't matter if it's in 24bit/96KHz high-resolution DVD-A, it's still going to suck.

Neighbor's moving out today. Tonight = time to test the BIB's to their full output

*eyes glaze over*

My vote would be for a sealed Mag...

We try to buck that trend here. Emphasis on try. I agree with the premise of your post, though, it's still incomprehensible to me why there are people out there that hate their hearing so much, but hey, as long as I don't have to listen to that "music" I'm fine with it. And remember, a lot of them come over to our side eventually

Yup, and I'm not a fan of a very flat RTA response I think RTA's are very useful for setup purposes, setting anything more than a 1/3-band EQ by ear is a royal PITA, and they can be good for determining trouble spots, but I've never liked the setups I've heard that were optimized for a nearly-flat curve.

You know, there's a volume knob for a reason

I'd go sealed, if low frequency output is really important to you.

Definitely some kind of finish...I wouldn't leave cedar as it is...does it have to go with anything else in the room?

I like their earlier stuff, the Jackson Browne-written stuff. But it's not great musically, I know
