///M5

It makes the m5 feel like a turd

Longer focal range dont need to be as fast to have a short dof

Tried to drive an SS Sedan with a manual, but the jack hat wouldn't let me since it wasn't inspected off the boat yet. Then went to Cadillac to sit in an ATS-V and CTS-V and the jerk asked me to drive it....oh, no. Took me on a great road for it too and asked me to keep my foot in it. The car absolutely rips when you want it too and is amazingly mellow when you want that instead. Hearing it start gave me serious WOOD!

Drove the new cts-v

But i did get to meet jim marshall

I just made a really bad decision

Add a cheap 24mm and you are golden. The 24mm doesnt need to be as fast as you will probably use it for groups and spaces needing a fstop or 5.6 or higher

Because grabbing an 85 1.8 for $200 to accessorize a 50mm 1.4 for $250 would be awesome and outside of wide replace your lenses nearly completely

Could hand hold, but easier to lock in the range when you aren't looking through it

Indoor of what? Any thoughts of later buying a 1.4? Only ask because it would maybe change which 1.8 to buy. 35mm is too wide for portraits and too narrow for wide 50mm is great for face portraits inside, bodies in bigger spaces 85mm is too tight for inside IMO as you will be limited to only faces or similar sized objects without some unnatural distance You have all the above ranges though. Shoot at them and compare...pick 3 different targets and use your tripod.

You need to use your remote....unless you wanted to be in the picture. Need a higher or lower fstop in that pic imo as well. Either all in focus or some drastically not. In between looks like an oops.

If they are just bolted in place of the stock speakers, then you have a TON of improvement for not much money that can be done.

How is the install? Normally when you think it sounds better with rears it means the front install is jacked. Interested in pictures of the baffle, deadening, mlv....sure we can help fix it so you can sell off those rears happily.

Locked due to a duplicate thread that you can respond to here: Click on the title "component speaker set" to find the thread

It isn't what I consider, but what it is. Rear fill would be with some logical band pass and filtering such that the rears don't destroy the front stage. As for the four corner question, no it is a terrible idea. If you had music that was specifically recorded in four channel you could make the argument it could make sense although it is much more logical to not use the rears at all. See the picture of the soundstage up earlier in this thread. I have an Escalade. It is HUGE compared to your car. The rears are not at all connected to the stereo. No rear passenger ever complains either. Adding the rears doesn't make it louder, just makes it sound worse. There are no compelling reasons to run rears playing the same source as the fronts. Complete waste of money. Add to that the market for 6x9's is teeny so all the choices are garbage. You really don't want rears. You will have the same problem if you add dash speakers to your components. Will just screw things up. If instead you ran a bandpassed midbass in the doors and a full range driver in the dash perhaps, but bouncing tweeter frequencies off the window is really hard to get to sound good so then you'd need a 3 way which is rather complicated. Just bridge your amp to the front components you have and when it is missing something ask how to improve it. Everything else you propose to do is a waste of cash.

The way you have it setup it is not rear fill but a second stage which is horribly deconstructive.

He is using his COMPLETELY differently You just need to hear any car that stages right and sounds good and you'll be enlightened.

At -20 even

That's what I did, lots of 4's instead of 8's including some back to back. Lights up the garage well.

Canon & Nikon started out in the gun business. What do you think they were designing optics for?

Big ring is the shortest length

Adding the 3.5's and the 6x9's do nothing with helping the system "keep up", they do completely fuck up the sound stage though. You CANNOT run the same amp in parallel to the 3 1/2" and the 6 1/2" speakers. That will really sound like shit. Seems like everything you've read elsewhere has you very confused on what to do. You should re-evaluate what you thought you knew before spending/wasting any more money. The JL 6x9's and 3 1/2's are garbage btw...

Sure someone can have fun with those two statements.

Silicon is your friend

Cables also love lube
