Google TV doesn't buy me anything, but a mouse keyboard package to work with the Droid does. Can you mate it with yours?

Don't need a headunit interface. Music player + analog volume knob. Bam! Can do 2.1 active with a signal miniDSP INCLUDING volume knob for $101+ shipping.

My 80prs has a 1tb hard drive with roughly 500 gigs of music on it currently. It reads in roughly 20 secs. Also more head units are starting to become android compatible which I am also happy about. How do you search through 500gb on a headunit? I tried with an 80gB and got pissed!!

Curious what about it makes you say that. Well, I prefer the interface and how it's setup. The Overall compatibility with... well everything. I personally prefer Itunes Just the over all feel is very slick and just seems to "work" I don't know.. I didn't realize that was different with other players. Compatibility sure, that would be the killer. If you have something that controls it that won't control something else, but those days are soon to be over if they aren't already. Personally I've waited until, well, this week to buy any. All of them had concerns that I couldn't get beyond. Not enough storage, $$$$, and capability to sort and control my music collection being the top. I gambled that the Tab would speak to an external HDD (couldn't find a single post on a forum that said it would) and found out about 30 minutes ago my gamble paid off. I have a couple external HDD's. One is going in the boat, the other the car. Still have 40gb of in unit storage and 500gb externally. It means I get to compress some things, but my playlists and all data can be intermingled and shared. Easily synchronized when changes occur as well. No more multi-unit management or worrying where what is. AND I can completely control my whole home automation system with it. I could nearly all the above with an Ipad (except the HDD data which would require a 3 Ipods) but it'd be WAY more money and a super cludgee interface. Add to that it is also my smart remote for the TV and has a built in TV guide which regrettably is slicker than the one I have implemented in my home automation for things currently playing and I am happy. Going to search for a couch keyboard for typing on forums and then it'll be completely complete.

My install is solving that problem. No more headunit. Done with those forever I think.

Exactly what I'd recommend. 150w on a true PA sub will do more than 1000w on a non-crappy boutique sub for his application. Choosing based on need is more important...

I could list the negatives, but am only interested really in the positives.

Curious what about it makes you say that.

I've had more apple products than PC based ones...but won't buy anymore. Of course my last Apple product I bought in 1991. ROFL.

fuck you best buy. Just managed to get my external HDD to speak nicely to the tab. The boat will now get my FULL music collection and I can limit the extra SD cards for kiddy video's for in the car. And yes, the bimbo's at BB told me NO WAY could it be done. Gotta love Android. Cheaper than an Ipod, as much internal storage, 7" screen, built in infrared so I don't need a TV remote anymore, better music player, can use my cell phone as an internet connection wireless, and is plenty fast.

You didn't. The abstract responses and direction your thread got taken was what confused me.

My bitch better have my money, through rain, sleet, or snow. My whore better have my money. Not half, not some, but ALL my cash.

Be careful what you wish for as well. A complete dominate or lack thereof relationship over time will take it's toll on the one who is dominated. Battles should be picked where a difference is made. You have to give some things up to maintain the rest. Ye olde 80/20 rule is a rather good one to stick by.

Ah, I read that wrong. $300 for a receiver puts you in the used category IMO

*sarcasm

For $300 you should only be looking at 2 speakers.

work, what is that?

I am using that much port area for 2 8" mids... Is there a reason you strayed so far from the recommended enclosure?

The books I could recommend wouldn't help you very quickly. I am a Physicist with a minor in Acoustics so needless to say they'd be college level text books that aren't applied directly to the subject at hand. Tuning can be done either way. The net transfer function is the important thing to "tune". Obviously physical first to within your constraints and compromises and then electronically.

Truely an awesome idea! I thought so too.

Little love for Neal

Um, OMG, what a mess. It isn't that big of deal, it gains you absolutely nothing in a car over a standard digital signal, and isn't even that expensive. They've even moved away from it in home audio for the same reasons. HDMI (non-optical) sounds the same as a fiber optic cable and doesn't have the inherent disadvantages of being glass.

The classified system is a fricking mess. Considering the tenure of the OP I didn't feel like moving it or doing anything with it, in particular since I can't seem to make the classifieds work right either.

The difference was described above, but also shows you stand to gain potentially from some good tuning work. Hard to make up for pathlength, azmiuth, AND reflections but there are ways to address each. It does not take ANY distance for a wave to "develop". It is what it is a sound wave. If it needed to develop then you would be seeing phase and/or amplitude changes which aren't possible without something acting on the wave. As for the how, you get to address each concern independently and sometimes at the compromise of disturbing another. Exactly why you never see me carte blanche recommend a speaker, mounting location, processing or any of the above. These are all trade-offs that you get to balance in your own ride.

2 way active. And was recommended either. How much are you sellin your 880 for? 9887, not 9886. With the 9886 you need the H100 Imprint module. If your goal is 2way+ then it won't do what you need which is why I asked. Mine doesn't quite fit your budget, but it's mint. Bassahaulic gets first crack too since he has been trying to get me to sell it to him for a year...
