    I actually just hate doing installs.

    Never once did I say that the speaker was the ONLY source of motion in a car, just refuting the argument where you state it imparts no motion. I've built countless systems to measure acoustic fatigue. Yep, fatiguing and breaking METAL parts with only acoustics. Acoustic energy is kinetic and can create quite the motion. Every thought why you hear tire noise in your car? Some is yes mechanically coupled, but that portion is much easier to damp than the acoustically transferred portion.

    The sub when operating in correctly should be having pistonic motion. Not unlike every other piston you can imagine that means it is part of an air pump. Even if you neglect this portion of the equation and have a sound wave that magically appears out of nowhere it will also move air, or water, or steel or whatever. If you have kinetic energy you have motion or the inverse holds true as well, if something is moving you have kinetic energy. If a wave propagates it is moving.... It wasn't nitpicking, but clarifying. All wind can be modelled with a combination of DC & AC vectors. By default a leaf blower has a lot of AC. It is a vaned pump. Meaning its output is just like a speaker. In fact being vaned the DC component only comes from a superposition of AC input energy. Hmm, sounds just like a speaker doesn't it? Or an air pump, or an engine....list goes on.

    Yes you did, said they don't move...and do again, right below here. Which is it? How does this leaf blower create wind? And what is wind? To make a more clear analogy, does an air pump move air? I'd hope you say yes to this, now think about the diaphragm in an air pump. How is that different than a subwoofer? Do you claim there is a difference between water and air? If you move your hand in the water doesn't the water move? The same can be said for air. If you grab an Asian hand fan and move it through the air, the air moves doesn't it? How is this different than a subwoofer such that the sub doesn't move air? I am also curious how you think the smell moves? Smell is air is it not? By definition then if it travels isn't the air also traveling?

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Then up the ante from the grass fed crap and fine corn fed beef. WAY better. Grass fed is a tree hugger idiots idea to ruin the taste of beef. Not saying you can't have a good piece of grass fed beef as how you treat the animal is as important as the diet, but if the same animal was fed corn it would be WAY yummier. I do feel sorry for you all South of IA. Steaks get funkier the further away from the Midwest you get.What does the price difference look like? Also do the antibiotics and hormones truly effect the taste and texture much?I only ask because knowing my luck I will find corn fed beef that does not offer that.JAll unrelated.Price for corn fed is cheaper, thank the stupid tree huggers for making shitty taste more money. Hormones and antibiotics can be associated with either corn or grass. Normally those are feed lot beasts and they never taste as good. Grass fed feed lots exist as well.Good to know. Time to find a good butcher. J Regrettably buying from some random sign along the highway will net you better quality than you will find in Florida pretty much anywhere. Obviously there can always be THE exception, but then it'll cost you.

    Circle D Tranny is $5k. Just need a core. Figure kill it first, then worry.

    Transmission is the next or could be first with a bad tuner. Part of the reason I am contemplating Turbos instead of a Maggie. Lag will drop the power where it shifts hopefully extending the life of the clutch packs which are what normally fails under high power first.* *or so I've read

    For that investment mine would make WAY more power.Looked low power to me also. I thought Chevy made power for cheap. Can't go too far or kiss the bottom end goodbye.

    Not in Racine per se. Pretty close to Milwaukee or Chicago though. My step brother is in Chicago. He's an attorney with the the EPA. I'd rather steer clear of that area. Chicago is really small, lol. I run into people I know there all the time.
