No, can't find them together if you want to move them. For your goals you are going to need a very large sub enclosure. Sonotube is the cheapest, easiest way to do this. Can't recommend anything really without knowing enclosure size limits. That is always the first step.

Sweet. Shortcut for those that want to partake in history: http://www.ponggame.org/

And yes, closer to a month than a year.

Depends on who you talk to. Some argue that, due to our non-ideal seating positions in a vehicle, surround sound offers one of the better options for improving imaging and sound stage. Which is the reason, for example, the JBL MS8 has ProLogic7. Not because it was designed to be an in-vehicle media center, but because the engineers @ JBL felt it offered one of the better solutions for improved imaging.But what good does that do to a signal recorded in stereo?The MS8 takes a stereo source, applies it's Logic7 algorithms and extrapolates out 5.1/7.1 surround sound based on the original source. Information that would have been "center" imaged based on the stereo recording is reproduced by the center channel, etc.And it still sucks butthole at doing it.

It was shortly before the time when you stopped being a douchebag on the site.

no, the incident happened years ago. i mentioned it about a year ago on here when somebody was saying something about a dui iircIt was closer to a month ago than a year ago.

If shipping were free, I'd contemplate shipping you my Breezer. Can't break it. Gotta love Ritchey welded stuff and it's too small for me.

Fenders are the shit and you NEED a new saddle. My ass hurts looking at yours.

Doubt it is lock up shudder in 2nd. Lockup only occurs in drive and OD (whatever your top 2 gears are) as it can really cause issues with drivability in low gear. If you want a quick cure all, put in Dr Tranny's Shudder Fix . It will help with most clutch grab/shudder/slippage issues. Awesome. I know nothing of torque converters, just felt like what I thought it could be. Is the shudder fix a joke?? *I had my Uncle reset the transmission computer and guess what. Shudder is gone, err, almost. It used to do it 20 times in 5 minutes, now did it once in an hour. But seriously, is the shudder fix a joke. I already changed his blinker fluid.

Hmm....I doubt it.Came out of Randal's mouth not, mine. "I'll have to talk to Ray about it". Just to put Randal's comments on phase compensation in perspective. The class in Physics you take after Classical Mechanics is Waves. Both follow exactly the same set of rules. Describing things in waves is obviously over the head of 99.9% of the public, so I'll move to a more simple and straightforward analogy from Classical Mechanics which I alluded to above. Gravity. Most people know it exists and at least have a rudimentary understanding of what it does. There are situations you can create to avoid gravity. Just google how they train astronauts. So the preface of not always having gravity 100% of the time is feasible. The same can be said about phase compensation. At a single frequency for a single point in space it isn't so hard. Change space or frequency and it becomes even more difficult than gravity correction. By Randal typing his truck is phase compensated it is exactly akin to saying I am able to defy gravity at ALL TIMES in ALL PLACES with my truck. Reality of the situation is that there is no place it will ever defy gravity. Same wih the phase. It will never be compensated at all points in space (flat out impossible) and at all frequencies (no processor available to my knowledge has that power). Of course, then by saying he'll have to bring it up with Ray I can assume the source. You can doubt what you want, but I guess we could clear this up by asking fo r the source although I don't care as either way it is flat out wrong, impossible and shouldn't be cited. Wherever it came from, whomever it came from is either an idiot or a manipulative ass that is trying to make $$ by confusing those that don't know. And please, ask ALL the frequency related questions you like. It is rather right up my alley. If something is unclear I'd be glad to explain it to you. Just because it might sound subjectively good now, doesn't mean it couldn't sound better I've got some other issues with the install. But I'm sure Randall is happy so I figured it wasn't worth the argument.... I know what you are saying. Several years ago when my supra was doing 440hp at the wheels it was pretty fast. I gave several people a ride and they couldn't believe how fast it was. Fastest car they have ever been in. That summer at a supra event my buddy in GA just finished his. Was doing 620hp on the dyno. I went for a ride and it was a different world. Got back in mine and it felt broke lol. Needless to say I upgraded mine soon after. That was around 2006. I think I'm on upgrade #4 and now its in pieces in the garage again. Exactly. And not unlike Impious I left out a ton of other obvious things that can help, but if my recommendation were followed it would benefit things GREATLY. And for those with the "just listen to it" comments. That is seriously laughable. I have listened to pretty much every driver in the Madisound, PE, Solen, and ... catalogs. Including tons that have never made it to market. All in environments way nicer than a car. So yes, not only do I understand scientifically what will happen but my ears have experienced it as well. Exactly why I will not be attending some simple car audio event. Compared to sitting in Ray Kimber's, Dave Wilson's, Jim Winey's, Orfield Lab's and other listening rooms I've been in there is not anything in car audio that will impress me. What baffles me is EVERYDAY I want to learn more, but the attitude of some of you that come on here with the high and holy this product is the shiznit is absurd. Install is everything and all Imp & I are doing is trying to help. Stop taking it personally and open your ears.

How many orchestral recordings do you have in surround sound format?

no rust, no dings, clean interior.

Other than the shuck & jive dance it drives pretty nice for some old iron.

Perfect. Amusingly he met some lady at a liquor store and bought her car, lol. 175,000 miles. $6k

Much more efficiently and without the artifacts of a 5.25. Would free up the tweeter to do it's job better as well. Add to that the benefit for tuning of having a single driver play most of the voicing all with absolutely no negatives. Why is that? I would ASSuME it has to do with the correlation between the diameter of the diaphragm and the frequencies being produced. A smaller "middle" driver would more easily even the passband.Yes and much more efficiently and without the artifacts of a 5.25. Would free up the tweeter to do it's job better as well. Add to that the benefit for tuning of having a single driver play most of the voicing all with absolutely no negatives.

Uncle bought an 03 S55 AMG this week without a thorough checkup. It seems to stutter under medium acceleration in 2,3 or 4th. I've never felt a torque converter slip in and out of lock but that is what I'd imagine it would feel like.

And boring to fun. I absolutely hated the ML550.

ML63. Most dealers won't have one if any. Model change sort of did that. Stocking cars that MSRP for over $100k isn't the norm.

Bummer that Ray is the source of the misinformation. At least it ought to be easy to fix. On quick bit of advice I alluded to above, while you are concentrating on placement try a smaller mid. The 5.25's are not doing you justice.

Wood, deadener, mlv, ccf are the typical but other things can work

Yes

And there are a bunch of amps that are shit on the market now too brining the price quality quotient down

Randal I didn't say anything about your truck or installation. Was just pointing out that there is no way you have phase compensation. It is not possible. Whomever told you it was is uneducated or lying. There is no age old debate. Phase is a VERY simple topic. Covered in an entry level Waves class which is usually only a 200 level class. There is no gray area in it either. A wave is a wave, you cannot defy Physics. This isn't about listening, SQ, or anything like that at all. Perhaps it is about crappy marketing, but that isn't your fault. If you want to defend the marketing that is your choice. Again this isn't an attack on you or your system, just basic facts that someone/company is seriously misleading you. This also isn't about what works on paper. It is a fundamental law of Physics. You cannot get around it. It is akin to saying Gravity doesn't work in your truck.

Yes, it isn't a POS.
