    almost shot coffee out of my nose trying not to laugh out loud at that one.

    Billy Jack Thread Dumping Thread

    you were not setting time alignment for 2 seats, you set it for the center position between the seats. 2 completely different things. You chose to make a compromise and to then alter the manner in which you sat in the vehicle to attempt to compensate for this compromise. This is not setting time alignment for two separate locations at the same time; Which is what Sean is pointing out, you can't do.

    Ideas for my System

    in your first post you said you wanted it to sound like you were at a concert, no live performance has the artist or speakers behind you, so why would you place speakers there to recreate this? Having speakers both in front and behind causes issues with imaging, it's not what you are looking for. The more speakers you have producing the same sound from multiple locations, you run into more issues with cancellation, time alignment etc... Stick with working on a good solid front stage, you will be surprised just how much time and work this will take to do correctly. Especially if you are insistent on trying a 3 way active set up for the first time. Focus there first before adding anything else.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Took the fam to see cirque de Soleil's OVO show tonight. Was such a great experience. The kids loved the she show. Even though OVO is one of their smaller shows, I was quite impressed with what they were able to put in the show. I highly suggest, if you have the opportunity, take your fam to see one of their shows.

    still doing weight training 5 days per week (Monday - Friday) trying to get in a 20-25 minute HIIT workout at least 3x per week (dependant on work schedule etc.) Volleyball on Tuesday nights for 1.5 hrs And try to get on a treadmill or elliptical for a more extended LISS endurance run once per week, if I can manage it. I haven't lost any weight in about a year now, so I think I'm sitting at my optimal weight (195-200 lbs), but my body composition has definitely changed. Getting more muscle tone for sure, and the waist is thinner. Aiming to maybe for the first time in my life have some visible abdominals in the next 6 months hopefully. But we'll see.

    Double din

    what would you consider decent? if you're not trying to spend $300, then what is your budget? And are you looking new or used? I would suggest making a list of features that you must have vs features that you would like and do a search of different units compared to that list. As mentioned above, stick to a reputable brand and you should be good to go. JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, Clarion, Alpine all have some decent units on the market. I must ask, why double din? Are you looking for touch screen and video playback? Because if not, going with a single din could net you more useable features for less cost, and generally the dash adapters to install are fairly cheap...

    Always changing my grip on back days. But have always found my arms/biceps to be lacking. And so now focus them one day a week. I am constantly changing routines and incorporating new/different exercises .

    Still hitting the gym 5-6 days a week. Weighing in @192.5 lbs in the morning. Versus the 227.5 lbs of 2 years ago Now I'm going to start to shift my focus to moving more weight, as opposed to losing weight. I've made some very sustainable changes to my diet/lifestyle. So things are on the up and up. Did a fun arm workout today. Called "the fours" if you look up Damien Patrick on YouTube, it's his workout.

    Power handling for Death Penalty 21"?

    The Death penalty series is rated for 2000 Watts RMS, and your amps are rated to produce 1500 Watts RMS @ 14.4 v In theory, they should be able to handle the power.
  11. A Dcon 12 from SSA is $144, and not entirely sure on the cost of would in the U.S., but you could probably build a sealed box enclosure for ~$40 or less. This would be minimally more than what you spent, and done right, be capable of sounding much better. Just to compare.

    Well, the Orange made a good run of it against the odds. Too bad the hat ran out of rabbits on them tonight. Was a hard fight against a very strong team in the Tarheels. Was sort of hoping... But alas, it didn't work out.
  13. RMS output has nothing to do with this. What you're speaking about here is frequency response, which comes back to install. Location of drivers, on/off axis, enclosure, distance from driver, deadening, mounting, equalization, etc... Which is the most important, and hardest variables that you need to work on. RMS is just referring to power output of the amplifier, and amount of power a speaker can safely handle through normal operation. This is the last and least important of all the variables.

    had fun on march break, was in Ottawa, and managed to do some working out with the strength and conditioning coach for the Minnesota Wild, as they were in town for a game and staying at the same Hotel as I.

    Impedance Question

    if each sub is 1 ohm, and the amp parallels internally, then you would have a .5 ohm load. To get 1 ohm at the amp, you need 2 ohms on either side in this case.

    Getting The Right Watts

    Rockford fosgate has one of the better diagram's that I've seen. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/support/wiringwizard.aspx Choose your options there, and it gives you possible outcomes based on wiring. It does not have dual 1 ohm as an option so choose the dual 2 ohm, and adjust math accordingly.

    Gotta get to know and trust your artist. They lay down ink that you are going to have the rest of your life. If you're not on the same page, it just doesn't work. "Yukon" Shawn Rouleau was one of those guys that was just good fun. Had a big laugh for a fairly small guy. Was always willing to sit and chat. He took pride in his work, and wasn't afraid to speak his mind. Was always funny to hear him tell someone not to get what they were asking for, and then explaining why. If he didn't think something would look good, he just wouldn't do it. We shared many friends, and all are at a loss. He is definitely gone too soon. And will be missed by many.

    found out today, that my tattoo artist went out in the middle of the street last night dressed all in black and laid down. Got ran over by a vehicle who couldn't see him. In a little bit of disbelief right now.

    Help with Aero port for 2 10 inch sub

    Should probably fix what you have to maximize potential, before trying to add more. Just sayin'

    Sitting back watching Syracuse vs Louisville. Let's go 'Cuse.
  22. aesthetically it's beautiful in my opinion. but the price tag is way out of my zone for sure. looks like sony is getting away from the flashy, all the options possible xplod thinking, and back to the basics, and being classy. definitely a step in the right direction for the sony mobile brand. Now if they just offered a more affordable option, in a similar aesthetic stying, that'd be killer.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I'm 30, and my wife turns 32 in a couple of weeks. It's either now or never for us, so we decided on now. This should still make it possible for all 3 kids to be out of the house before I'm 50, and out of post secondary education before I look into retirement. I hate the fact that I've become a long term planner, I don't like feeling like an adult... I'm still young damnit!

    I have remote controlled fans in 3 of the 4 bedrooms upstairs, and am pretty sure none have the antenna outside the cup. But mine have theirs down in the housing for the fan/light not up at the mount to the ceiling.
