    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Hostels maybe a MESS on NYE. Hotels near Notre dame are $280, cheaper near the cler which is way better for eating. How far are you willing to walk to dinner? How about during the day? * I average nearly 30mi a day when in cities like Paris so I don't want to tell you what I would do without knowing more about what you are willing to do

    Ah. What arrondisement are they in? Location to start with helps a shit ton.

    I time out in Chrome. IE lets me get places here, but tells me there is an unresponsive script.

    Tablo $170 right now, need the Roku anyways, antenna is $30 and the subscription we would need is free.

    First $$ is finding a hotel. Second is food. Museums should be done on a multi-day pass, this allows you to walk into anything at anytime and not pay. Check the days you are there though as many things can be closed on Monday. Any idea the budget for the hotel?

    Stream live antenna tv to a streaming device. If I change to a streaming interface I want everything in it.

    Anyone tried a Tablo? Thinking of going that route, adding a Roku at the TV, and buying Sling subscription for sports seasons. Going to Hulu in the off.

    ...I have a very detailed security system, but it isn't for security.

    I lock everything as my expectations are that no one is honest.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Locks don't keep honest people out, honesty keeps honest people out. As for the stupidity, they have lived there since 1974. There house is extremely well lit and has a pair of nice hunting dogs. It is irrelevant to the discussion at hand, but nonetheless.
  12. The ER can play a lot lower than 70, even at reference levels mine had no issues with 40Hz. I don't listen to fart music however. Small format tweeters are tough, should look at CL for a set of components you could temporarily use some from and the resell when you have a better idea of how things are.

    Well actually no lock

    A dog and lots of light will work WAY better. That or move to a better neighborhood. One of my neighbors has never once locked their house as they have no key lol

    A fake big ass camera looking thing that is super obvious even won't deter.

    Not really a deterrent. Evidence isn't so useful without a suspect.

    Spider landing repair

    Definitely will be a different woofer. I would just repair them right

    Why Not Asphalt?

    25% is probably overkill, but an amount that Don uses to show the ridiculousness of other companies recommendations. Let me rephrase that, 25% is way overkill but when you don't have intrinsic knowledge of the actual car panels you need to overkill to compensate for the lack of knowledge you have about the vehicle dynamics. You should also be aware what CLD does. It fundamentally changes the damping of the panel it is applied to. For instance, if you take look at the curve below you can see there is a time response of a device under test that had a mode excited and is ringing. One of the major things we would see when applying damping is that the time axis would shrink. So what does this mean for your question? You are applying damping to reduce and structure "created" noise (I used quotes as the forcing function is not in the structure so it is really a response function, but the noise is created at the panel) from that structure. The goal being to limit this as much as possible, but they are far from the major source of noise in your car. Airborne transmitted noise is dominant and needs to be muffled as much as possible. For this, CLD is pointless as fundamentally to block airborne noise you need mass. CLD is a crappy way of adding mass. Reducing the modal panel contribution however dampening can help. The source of energy in the panels is primarily driven from the vibration response of your car interact with itself and the road. Since it is only the structural side of the noise going buck wild and crazy to stop it gets well into the law of diminishing returns quickly. One other story on this. We optimized an dampening package for an OE a few weeks ago. They computer optimized their placement, but we analytically measured the whole body in white. The net result was that we pulled out more than 50% of their optimized package and reduced the structure created noise by more than 10dB at simulated highway driveway conditions. So now the simple answer. Yes adding more will compensate for the change in response due to temperature, but whether or not that makes your car any quieter is dubious at best. Focus the overkill on killing the acoustic noise instead of the structural and you will be better off. One other caveat of course is that a monstrous sub setup creates all sorts of other energy that needs to be dissipated or stopped from happening. CLD is also bad for this as it is a structural problem, not a resonance problem to resolve. If you want to know more about the panels and their response, google Modal Analysis. Feel free to then add a thread to post questions on it

    Stupidly I just starting using the ranking system in lightroom and now have 40,000 pictures to go through.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I am contemplating switching to Drive and then using Google Photos to display what is in Drive. Figure then I can export all 4 star + photos from lightroom onto it, add a bullshit folder for forum linking and call it a day. Would love nice integration to phone and pc for both up/down. Drive is perfect for download and upload from a pc and works fine for pic sharing direct from my phone.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I don't konw that I "watch" sports, but I sit on my chair with games on while I work on things. Right now that is rooting for Washington but not seeing anything that isn't exciting. Something about a 70" TV and 10' away allows you to ignore it and see all the action at the same time.
  25. The Seas Neo is acceptable as well, not ideal by any means. If you wait long enough there is a new option coming that won't set you back so much as well.
