  1. Shop sucks. False statement. Again, thinking the amp doesn't give out "clean" power is pointless. Even if it only gives out 50% rated upgrading to something that does the rated power will be a barely audible difference. Your friend with the JL amp has an install that isn't fucked.
  2. Let me use a theoretical for you. What I see you saying is that if I buy a 1000w amp to replace a 1000w amp it should be a huge difference. That is crazy. In particular when if you had a 750w amp and bought a 1000w you wouldn' hear a difference. Your ears aren't all that sensitive to volume differences. Takes doubling of power to get you anywhere. That all being said, you have an installation problem you NEED to fix. There is something wrong. Not saying your amp isn't a piece of crap, but don't go buy a new one to HEAR something different. Bassink linked all budget amps as well so it isn't like you are jumping up into uber quality. So seriously, fix the install and REALLY determine what is happening before spending money. Be rather stupid to do it any other way.
  3. Doubt what you are experiencing is the amp. Don't like it, but an amp is pretty much an amp when operating in its appropriate zone. Yours isn't and that is the problem. Replacing it with something else will gain you nothing. Reality check for you. If that amp only does 75% of rated power even going to 125% with another won't give you an audible gain. Replacing it is the last thing you should do, trouble shooting why it's acting like a bitch is the first.

    Lab dc Power supply?

    Both would be HUGE wastes of money. Can get 50a for nearly 1/4 the price power supply wise. And fans are of no concern when dj'ing so not buying pro audio is nuts. I find it amusing your chase for batteries and power in your car yet you pick a measly 35a supply.

    Something like the 2nd most population density in the world. Population of Norway in the equivalent space as downtown Minneapolis (whihc is a whopping 280k)

    When I get back next weekend I am going to try to go up to Marina bay casino and shoot it from the other side. Shooting this way on the other side of the towers is water, the other direction MILES and MILES and MILES of towers.

    Shouldn't say minimum as I shot a lot of the "same" yesterday, but the ones posted are that.

    Uhhhh, pretty lights I still like it even on my laptop. Looks raw even with that little distortion, but I like pics as I would naturally see it. I didn't shoot an HDR so your eyes have more dynamic range than that pic. Crazy how good our sense of sight is. Shooting up a bit which is why I get the tower lean distortion, but it is super easily corrected but confusing for a drunk dude.

    Huge beers, bad exchange rate, or just that damn pricey? J I would be fine with that price if they were worth it. Were the worth it? Curious what breakfast is like in Asia? I haven't had anything "American" or European to eat in 10 days. Like Europe in Asia breakfast and lunch are pretty similar.

    box port measurments help

    Confusing since it only requires 5th grade math. I am somewhat not surprised locally though as I've never been in a shop in MN where they knew ANYTHING.

    but then I guess a few pitchers of beer may do that

    Matt, that is 17mm on the shitty non L lens Shot at f13 or 16. Could post up the one I shot at 2.8 by accident. Holy crap is it bad. Better spot, didn't take it off live view. Should have realized going from 30 second exposures to .5 meant something lol

    me neither, but I've given it to other people. Nice to be immune to some things. Most people who haven't had it are pretty tolerant I think. At least in climates where it is prevalent.

    I don't understand your question. Measure down the middle - yes. Does your shop not ever build a ported box? wth?

    Lab dc Power supply?

    Depends on the amp and you, but both are possible. My home power solution is a couple computer power supplies, but they are server ones. Lots of dicking around but I can supply nearly 50a which isn't enough for a stereo hardly.
