    Magic equation, get off the high heart rate and start working the muscles. It's the opposite for speed and distance, but it won't hurt that to build some muscle.

    Thanks Sean. I nolonger have the truck, transferring the title now. By truck I meant the Toyota

    Crossover Placement

    Don't confuse impedance and resistance. Either way, 15' of wire will not have enough resistance to cause a dire effect. In particular if it is sized appropriately.

    Cadence = Crank revolutions per minute

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Unless you do the opposite of distance, slow your cadence, and MASH. I don't know if it is because my seat is uncomfortable, but I have found it much easier to pedal in the 70's than in the 80's In the latter I always feel like I'm over spinning and can't put much power down (it also seems to make me shit a lot of weight to my ass). In the 70's I feel like I can lock in a speed and cruise and have the torque available to get up hills. I've always been told that 80's-90's is most efficient. Your bike doesn't fit. I spin above 90 pretty much always and have no problems with power.

  9. Just FYI, 5-6k means you mid is beaming like crazy. LPG on the dash isn't where I'd use it. Off axis response is so strong your reflections are going to be even more muddled. Everything is a compromise though and exactly why a low playing tweeter is required for an 8" as it'll beam beyond 1k. Some is a compromise that a 2 way requires, but minimizing it and making sure that you can play with other settings to come up with a good sounding set is the goal.

    Drafting is cheating, you can easily go 2x as far perhaps more.
  12. Oh ok... Well then mister, ha ha ha.. I had my LPG tweets crossed at 2.5 with a 2-way crossover design but I don't think the slope was steep enough, now I get screeching from one tweet at higher volumes even crossed at 4k now going passive... ... That's why I wanted to know... Thanks again.. and the passive slope is set at 24db now ... You live in learn, I'm assuming I blew it... The LPG is a small format tweeter. 4k is about right. It's utilization and development goals are completely different than most tweeters. It was designed for small format mounting and good off axis response without losing high end sparkle. It is absolutely terrible to use with a mid that won't play high. It is much more akin to a 3/4" tweeter in response and characteristics than a 1" This is exactly why the details of mounting characteristics and locations are important before recommending anything. There is no one stop solution for everyone.

    Unless you are looking for colloboration work with bands like: McCoy Tyner, Wayne Shorter, Buddy Miles, Larry Young, John Mclaughlin, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, Grateful Dead, Tower of Power, Jimi Hendrix He's definitely part of the reason I started listening to Jazz... and yes, I know I added things that are older than that album, but when he played with great musicians it was sweet.

    I've driven the mini a few times as my Uncle had one. Fit just fine and it is more fun than other fwd platforms. For that money and fun though, I'd be thinking used Elise. I'd be the MS3 and C30 are similar to the mini though and would make me smile briefly...I know I'd get bored though fast.
  16. I only laughed because out of the quality tweeters the answer is truly that most of them will play well below 2.5kHz WHEN the crossover is implemented correctly.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I understand that exactly. And I will be looking for a car that is hell of a lot of fun to drive, but is also capable of being comfortable for long trips. If the best for my money ends up being a Honda Accord then that's what I would want to get. Honda Accords are NOT fun to drive, lol. Well considering I drive a 1995 Saturn. When my friend and I traded cars for a weekend (2005 Accord V6) I was quite happy Then you'd absolutely LOVE the new 3 series. You would love a Honda Accord Mike, the gas milage and reliability make it worth it alone. While not as fun as an Audi or Bimmer to drive, still a pretty zippy ride with decent handling. Yikes, no. Even the reliability is questionable. Hands down by far the car that have caused my friends the most trouble. Everyone of them with one is always complaining about it being in the shop and the repair prices are as bad as BMW. And they are far from fun to drive. FWD SUCKS! I'm so there are plenty of fwd cars I would be content with (and not break), but I've already destroyed both my front drive axles. Lesson learned: I can't drive my car like I ride my bike. AWD can be okay...

    Cuft? Port freq and area? 0.635 Gross 2.5" x 5.5" long - 60Hz Cool. If you don't dig on the Sundowns I have some recommendations that'll fit in those enclosures then They might prefer slightly higher tuning, but that's pretty close. I don't have that much experience to tell if they are good or not so I'll probably stick with them. And not really into spending even more money. You'll always be able to flip the Sundowns. Just saying that the enclosure size you chose in general works pretty well for PA style drivers. You may want to be prepared to raise the tuning if it can't quite handle the lows. I haven't seen T/S specs for it yet but am a little suspect of tuning it that low. Normally 70Hz is sort of the bottom end for a 10" PA and not many will do that. Obviously that is an off the shelf PA mid of some sort, the only question is which one. Perhaps there are some changes done to it, but my guess is they are minimal. I'd love to stick something in there geared for midbass. *drools* Although the sundown probably has enough cone area to still have a good amount. I wouldn't say that those are geared for midbass. Upper midbass sure, but not midbass. Pro audio drivers ALWAYS give up frequency extension for sensitivity. Absolutely no way around that. Of course they are 10's which help the cause a ton I am sure they will still start rolling off around 100Hz though so to me that means they are not midbass drivers. In the PA world they will call them that, but their subs are geared to play up there as well.
  19. As long as you buy a reputable amp you won't hear a difference in a car. Anyone that says differently sells snake oil.

    Truck, no..other than being a GM so it can't tow. Trailer, not really either but it looks to me like it isn't loaded far enough forward. My boat weighs more than that Sea Ray...the ML tows it great. What does a boat in that size range weigh? Boat noob here. Mine weighs somewhere around 7500lbs

    We got 2 feet on the mountian tops yesterday. We got 18" at 500' elevation yesterday So why aren't you on teh sled? Because it fell 2 hours North of me and I didn't find out about it until last night. On my way to CA today :( :(
  23. Tweeter to play lower that 2.5k? Really?? Don't know of any but curious to hear about some. ROFL, Dayton RS28, Seas 27 TDC (and all variants that aren’t neo), Seas 29, Seas Excel T25, Scan ArcCirc, Scan Illuminator, Scan Revelator, Vifa XT25, Usher 9950, Morel Supremo, Morel MDT22/29/30/33, Scan Speak Discovery If it has to be small format, Scan D2904 And those are just a few off the top of my head. There are a TON more.
