    Welcome to the IHoP

    42" is a long ways down, did you raise your seats??? I am not sure I could get them that low in my truck, but I do tend to underestimate my size sitting down.

    Yep , what you want to know ? How do you think the vertical dispersion is? I'm trying to decide between these (cheeep) or going the expensive route (planars). Are you doing a line array with them?

    alot?? lol, i'm sure it's been measured before, i'm certian of it...time for google...lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 180db = 20000Pascal = 2.9PSI But it isn't the pressure that causes problems but the dynamic pressure changing. To give you an idea, Boeing uses 180-185db to mechanically stress metal to failure. This is the reason HT guys really build the piss out of their enclosures so that the energy built in the box causes no coloration or resonant energy to be added to the signal. Thanks! When I finally get around to building my little home speakers I will do a resonant measurement and post a video for you all. It will be a while though since I might move first. Ohh, sweet. I'm very interested in this. Excuse me for forgetting, but you are going to KSU in Manhattan no? I might have to do a measurement on some pistachio's there sometime this fall, if so maybe we can even measure your speakers. I can't promise anything yet as my job title could change drastically in the next couple of weeks but eh, wtf?

    Only problem with that would be: hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, front speakers, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, front speakers, hu, hu, hu, hu, sub, hu, hu, hu, hu, hu, It would drive me a bit nuts.

    Not for getting into a college. FL schools are retarded obviously. Just the public schools it seems. Of course what I meant

    X2 but maybe you don't aspire to go to a college that would care?

    there is a course here on base that is like $22 with my discount for full 18, very wide open and flat Then I could play "wicked slice man"

    Yay! And it involves fishing, perfect reason to mud in my book.

    HOOPTIES!!

    Those rims were for sale in the ECA classifieds, LOL!

    should i go active or bigger 4channel?

    I'd talk to Flakko. There are two types of refurbs. 1) All new amp in an old case--luckily the case and heatsink are pretty much the most expensive part of the amplifier so when they die they might get swapped out And the second type is what manufacturers refurb and let go to chit box internet sites 2) Part of the power supply died, one FET. Normally these are all matched, but when they refurb they won't be. This will cause the "weakest link" to fail considerably faster than if it were a new matched set. My guess from all the hate on Ike is that they get the chit refurbs and I wouldn't want one at all. You have been on a budget the whole time with your install and tend to ignore advice though so buy what you will. If it were me I'd spend the little extra money on the US. To draw an analogy, the most expensive amps I have are the ones that I don't use and those were cheaper to begin with. Think of this a little more long term than today and the XT will seem much cheaper.

    Indeed, in fact I would argue that you should tune your baffle to a frequency close to the standing wave frequency of your vehicle. You could easily turn your 12" sub into a (insert baffle size here) sub since the whole thing will radiate, and if you tune it right it will radiate in phase. Feasibly you could gain lots of deebeez doing this. For SQ your statement stands, resonances are bad. If I had any intention of running SPL I would tune my box as stated, the only hard part is measuring the response to make sure you are right on...luckily that is what I do for a living.

    Oh come up my way and we can bypass the splash and go. I've pretty much never been out and not gotten stuck, in fact I consider that the goal and I don't mean by doing something gay like stop moving in a mudhole either.

    Original Crunch

    The closest I have to that is my FRP150 from 1989 or 90 I don't remember when I bought it exactly.

    pics yo

    "OH SNAP!" Looks like shot from Motor Trend or Car & Driver. Only better because it isn't a stock car!

    Neil, We are interested and promise that CB will NOT post again on this topic or get his arse kicked.

    rl-p 15" dented cone (problem resolved)

    They are going to sound great, it does suck about the minor cosmetic stuff but it won't affect their sexy sound.

    Do they draft hockey players and allow them to still play in college ? Step foot on a junior hockey league ice surface, and kiss your eligibility away. You can get drafted though... just can't sign a contract, or have any money trade hands in doing so (which I am sure you know). Good clarification, for us MN'tans it is real typical to be drafted early in college and to finish out your career.

    Sort of like bowling, except there the women are either cute and illegal or really gross.
