    Why would you buy a car audio driver and run it active? Crazy waste. Either way, seriously DO NOT RUN A 3 WAY. It is as bad of an idea as screwing a chancre ridden pussy. Seriously, bad.

    If you don't get a few nice black bubbles in your crust you are missing out. I can't achieve that in the oven and it is REALLY hard on the gas grill, but the egg...YUMMY!

    Secrets? What isn't that doesn't work for you?I can't get a pizza dough to slide off the peel. Ever.Do you use cornmeal under your dough?Not on the egg, that'll taste like shit as it burns up completely. Nearly catches the whole bottom on fire. Yep, thought I could do that once myself. Only takes one try. I use it on my stone and it has never burnt, but I cook pizza around 600. I use flower on the counter when spreading the dough. 600 isn't hot enough Sweet spot is somewhere in the 800-900 range. Hotter than that and you get burn all over...and your gasket melts.

    Umm, that isn't what you are hearing. Wrong conclusion. Perhaps describing what you hear would make more sense. And yes, if someone at work helped gues what? That's right, they are idiots ignore them. Again, stop using terminology you don't understand. How exactly are you hearing this beaming? Or what is it that you are hearing that makes you think that? Because you can't handle a 2 way. 3 way is going to be a complete fuck show. As for drivers specifically? The 25 is a piece of crap, sounds like ass, and it is absurd to mate a 107db tweet with a very inefficient mid. Florida bad in fact. If you happen to have bought the HT instead of the ST, well good for you, you just wasted a ton of money as well. Missing the whole point of a 3 way which is to buy a dedicated driver that is GOOD at the frequency range you will have it play. Buying a compromised car audio driver that is meant to work with a sloppy passive crossover in a 2way set is about as far from ideal as you could have for a 3 way. Could do better with a $20 Dayton. Either way, it is not going to work out nice. Seriously. The more you post the more I really think you NEED to buy a passive set. You are getting so confused at work and ignoring any and all advice given here it's absurd. If you made $200k/yr then fine you could deal without the $, but considering where you work I doubt that is a reality.

  8. I keep finding nice ones...that are AB so not "efficient" so I don't link them. In reality in that power range it isn't like the draw is all that bad. Is there a reason you need the efficiency?
  9. +1 I will eventually. I just don't have an exact time frame. But I can only afford one thing at a time, so I figured I could possibly get a 2kw amp first because I may still be able to power it stock or with just an upgraded front XS battery, I can always turn the amp down though. Next would be an alt, and then I could add in a second xcon.. I eventually want 2 12" zcons. I'm just trying to get electrical before the extra subs because it's too hard to have subs that I can't use sitting in my trunk. Backwards, IMO. Completely. Instead you'll have an amp you really can't use versus cone area that you could. Even worse if you buy the alt too as putting 2k on one 10" xcon isn't going to gain you anything but an empty wallet.

    Yikes, no. Sure they should be close together, but when not you can't just assume you flip the phase. Hell I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle where all the drivers were wired in phase....never that lucky. You seriously should NOT use the Fountek and that Tweeter. You aren't ready for an active 2 way more or less a 3 way. Seriously STOP. Everyone that is helping you elsewhere is going to net you a really expensive 3 way that won't sound as good as a set of $100 IA components run passive. And YES it can easily be that bad.

    And Matt, I hate to tease you when step further...but will. Buying now for a FF in the future doesn't make sense for one other reason you are forgetting. All the L lenses are getting reworked with silent focusing mechanisms for video. ALL. Long term they cannot make the noise they do as professionals won't use them that way. Invest in things you can use and sell, not in things you think you will need down the road.

    What about a unipod?If your not using a timer it may be the best option as they can fold up smaller and be more user friendly in smaller spots.JUnipods are functionally useless IMOWorked great for concerts when the 'press line' was pushed back about 20 yards behind the front row due to flames.Not saying its a great idea, just tossing it out there.JHow did it benefit you? Exactly why I asked. You are traveling to Italy where that won't happen. J of course may have been in that situation. Just wanted to clarify. Between people walking by and such it made it easier to pick up drop and set for that band. Lens wasnt heavy but with consistantly changing light it helped having a steadier surface than free hand did. As for a mini tripod, they do make one footers. J Okay, good. Doesn't help with the shot but getting ready for it. As a walk around that isn't necessary. Even a 6" Gorilla pod is okay, but don't expect to hang the 2.8 70-200 on it. The other spot where a tripod with a nice swivel head is a must is when shooting video. Vibe compensation can bite me compared to a tripod. Almost impossible to even shoot at 50mm without one.

It helps to reduce the amplitude of your wobble, but it doesn't stop it. It can help with some sports too. Soccer game for Jr or bike racing. It just keeps the camera closer to ready in those situations. Again, just helps hold weight. Stability is not really its advantage. Tripods are great for low light shots and longer exposures

    She's already got it all over Facebook. Then you are golden. My buddy sent one out to all of us that was atrocious. WAY more revealing and bad than what you posted. She looked hideous. Funny since she is normally rather attractive.
