    Time Attak and similar styles >>> SPD's. Getting a floating binding is much better on your knees. I use the Look equivalent that I bought used on CL.

    WinIsd : Cone Excursion

    The tuning question is a good one. Car audio and home audio are completely different due solely to the environment. This is compounded if you are interested in a home theater setup as well as movies have ultra low frequency content. I am a little jet lagged, but my memory says you were looking for both in which case a rather large box with a tuning in the low teens is appropriate. It is easy to see where tuning lower starts to buy you nothing in the cone excursion page. I flew home yesterday. Just doing a quick visit to our manufacturing facility and a stop by Mercedes NVH Engineering to help them with a couple things.

    Oh and it is a given that 'mericans dress funny
  7. Just follow the enclosure recommendationsof the manufacturer. Tuning lower will not help

    I don't follow the 9v battery thing above. Just play a 0dB test tone at 40Hz (or whatever bass tone you have that isn't super low) and play it through the receiver, plug in your DMM to the outputs of one RCA (inner pin and outer shield), set it to AC and measure the volts. Or just buy the higher input miniDSP because it is what you will need. (and if you don't you can always open it and flip the switch).

    950k in Minnesota? Does this come with the Timberwolves? (LOL had to talk a little shit) 2nd shittiest house in our neighborhood, mine wins that though. Half pay more than my payment in taxes yearly.

    Other people can answer this better than I, but you'd probably be surprised how much $$$ they are spending on research to get these things to pass the emissions. Correct. Engine design is advancing very quickly. There are currently small diesel engines on the road that are collaborations between US, Asian, and European engineering and design. The dollar amounts and sheer number or engineers involved in the R&D were massive. The new guidelines set forth by the liberal agenda is forcing manufacturers to enhance efficiency, which in turn reduces overall emissions in gasoline engines. However, improved efficiency in a diesel engine has a tendency to boost emissions, primarily NOx emissions as combustion temperatures must rise to complete combustion which obviously enhances performance and efficiency. Improving diesel engine efficiency while reducing emissions is going to be an extremely difficult task. It is not something that is going to occur overnight, which is what the liberal agenda has forced on the manufacturers. Gasoline engines are a great example of design technology taking years to "perfect" in a financially feasible manner. R&D gets passed on to the consumer, and blowing up the price of the vehicle is not a realistic option. Gasoline engine emissions controls have evolved over nearly 50 years now, since the advent of the PCV system. So they need to find a way to meet these standards, which become far more stringent so quickly that they must weigh their options. If they can utilize technology that has proven effective in gasoline engines, they can minimize the cost or R&D and therefore the cost passed on to the consumer. They will improve efficiency at the cost of internal combustion design emissions control, and implement these effective gasoline "add ons". Forcing manufacturers to improve fuel economy on their entire fleet as well as reduce emissions in an exceptionally quick fashion is leading to a ton of questionable designs. The implementation of these systems, and their frightening real world pattern failures is going to cost this country a fucking fortune... and by staying at the top of my field, it is going to make me a ton of money again. Say it: "Thanks Obama." I just did, didn't I? I beat you to the punch

    I am in bed on my tablet and the Medina realty site is sucjing dick. Search for sub320's houses in the city of minnetonka and you will get an idea. Further from Hopkins the better. I would avoid shit on 5 or 7 as they are nearly highways
