    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Frozen, in the fridge or room temp? Been in the fridge, but rewarmed like twice but refrigerated after each time.Just unsure on the life span never had this much leftover this long,been stuck at work late not a lot of time to get ate up.You really, really, really, really shouldn't ever reheat, refreeze, whatever what you don't use. In my house that'd be 5 days. Normally a week, but you heat cycled it and that frightens me. The instant you really don't plan to eat something like that freeze it.

    While it is not original that an aoili have an egg yolk IMO it is a good addition. Great dilutant too when you don't want to over garlic. And this comes from a man that uses 2-3 heads of garlic a week for a family of 2 toddlers and a wife. I only use it for Italian hoagies... I might try a yolk, but it may kill the little old Italian woman who taught me. Only in a mortar and pestle...... No need for the mortar or pestle, I use a chef's knife. Obviously not for the emulsion portion... I cannot fathom that much knife work. The m&p is how I was taught. You add the oil that way too. Unlike mayo you don't want air to get into the aioli. Like I said, old Italian woman though. Probably some goofy family recipe. WAY, WAY faster with a knife. Even if I were finishing like you do I'd break down the garlic with a knife & salt.

    Not unless you are low on air. Curb rash or ? I'll take some pics. I didn't notice a curb....... I know the sound of rim on curb for sure. Could Costco have scuffed them while putting on my new rubber? Costco absolutely could have. Pretty common.

    How Much Do You Throw At Your XCONs? (Daily)

    ANY two drivers playing the same frequency will create cancellation. Conveniently for subs the wavelengths are really long, for the rest you get a mess. You can't just arbitrarily pick cross points and have stuff work either. You REALLY need to listen to them. I am not arguing. I am simply asking a question. Telling me to sell/return most of the equipment i purchased isn't teaching me anything. Or telling me that what I have is overkill/no good is not helping either. I am not saying he is incorrect, i am simply asking for explanations.It is your job to ask questions on things you don't understand, spoon feeding isn't helpful not even in the short run. Compounded by the fact that you showed up on the board with the typical run of the mill SMD misinformation that is prevalent in a ton of new members. Most then exhibit the stubborn behavior that they are unwilling to learn nor ever cared to. Only posted here to have someone say nice choices. When that fails they run. More than willing to help, but surely won't pad any comments to help with feelings. All that being said, it sounds like my comments DID help. You are actually questioning what you were going to do. Before that wasn't the case. Now it is your turn to choose what you'd like to learn and make better. Bummer you already spent the money, but at least you haven't wasted the time/money on the install which is btw more important than the gear. Easy to pick gear, hard to make it work perfect.

    Painful? You used painful for highs. I understood the stupidity on the sub portion already.

    Focal Repairs

    Without stock soft parts the driver may fundamentally be horrible. Maybe not. Can't tell regrettably until it is built and measured. No matter it will surely require a COMPLETELY different box. Any reason this is in the Test section? Most people ignore it there....

    That dilutant will also help stretch the emulsion

    If they are too rubber bandy from a ride perspective I'll sell them.

    Decided on the cheap option for wheels. As pretty much always the wallet won out. TBSS reproductions in 24" polished. Going to be wearing 305/35/24's at all four corners.

    I am living through you with this project. No doubt, me too. Its been a dream to build an LS Engine. Let me know as I document shit what else you'd like to see.

    This is faster than me typing. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/mayonnaise-recipe.html You can obviously vary the acid to change to a different amount of bite in both quantity and flavor. Adding other herbs, acidic vegetables and or seasonings can drastically alter it up. Some garlic and you have an aoili. *I should note I didn't actually read Alton's preparations, but just assume they should be fine. If you are actually going to do this I will so let me know. Now you should also realize why keeping Mayo for a long time in the fridge is err, not so savory.

    I don't buy sugar spreads Lol that is fair. I buy the calorie free spread. Adds a. Lot of flavor to my sammich without any kcal. One of my favorite sammiches is a tomato and mayo on toast. Salt and pepper or some other blended herb/spice. Nature's seasoning or Mrs Dash. Really weird to still buy blended spices, but for things like that sammich, it's what I love. The funny thing with that is if you actually taste the Mrs Dash and the contents independently I think you'll realize it is really only 1 or 2 things that make you want it. That being said, I am not opposed to non-salted blends like that. I use Shichimi togarashi on tons of stuff. If you don't own any, you should soon

    Mid bass driver for 80-800

    To put things in perspective, for a real set of speakers you should allocate what you have for budget just in crossovers. That does not include engineering time if required to design them either. The other aspect is the more exotic or specialized or high sensitivity etc the driver is the harder it will be to make a crossover for. Budget systems require simple to execute designs which then require drivers with very easy frequency response anomalies to tame. The other reality with this is, it is far from trivial to execute a crossover. Building a kit while still a compromise is probably the least of the evils if you are building your own. Of course buying something used may still be a better value. As for what brands, well, they are your ears. Don't you go audio shopping ever? What do you like? Figure below 50% of store price for a 8-10 year old pair. So shop for things in the $800-1000 realm and determine what you like.
