Gotta love the anti-modeling argument. Always with those who have no idea and mis-use everything. Any idea how ANYTHING these days is engineered? I'll give you one wild guess. It shouldn't be hard.

Thank you guys for Bumping this. I kept seeing it when I was mobile and couldn't donate. I went to pin it for that reason and realized it's pinned. As you post, please keep bumping this to the top of the "View New Posts". Sean, if karma exists you deserve some serious blessings. Most people would focus on helping themselves and not using the energy to help others. I am also sure many of us here read the thread and want to reach out to help Lucy, not just your benefit to St. Jude. I know I sure do.

It was a hypothetical. It's the internet. Guaranteed some moron has posted something about anything. It was meant to make a point. Reading a subjective interpretation of what someone thinks something sounds like is pointless. In particular when that person probably has the listening experience of only that driver or only a couple. Even worse if it is a single enclosure which is the norm. I know where that started. Didn't used to be the case. However, again you can't read into the preference when there is no experience behind it. Everyone is biased towards what they spend their own money on. It's only sad when they expose that bias with error. Audio is supposed to be what you want it to. For me that is getting the best setup I can for the money. And yes, comparing parameters is a HUGE part of determining that. They tell a story. There is a reason that manufacturers post them, lol. If that is your idea of all that is necessary to try, you should ignore everyone who has every tried anything as they will mislead you. Are you for real? Where does freedom of choice even come close to being a topic in this thread. Read the title. Shitty service from a company. Doesn't mean you can't do business with them, just don't expect to get what you are expecting. More like depressing if not. It is really easy and not time consuming at all. Why do you think the audio world wants the parameters in the first place. Hint... If you even once tried to model a driver you'd know your answer. It is easy to tell how different something will sound. Not like you can design a box without doing it either. As for your other question, yes I've definitely measured T/S parameters on drivers. I've also designed end of line test systems for manufacturers who HAVE to test their T/S and other parameters before shipping items. Not sure why this is tough on you guys. Poor design, poor service = Oh hurry, let's get in line to buy!

Wow. I like the gray.

Only asking since I aspire to be like him

True, thats why he has had 2 white ones, a orange one, a matte grey one, and 2 black ones. And 4 Porsche Turbo S's. lol. I like have liked all of them. I posted some pics of them in the photo section in a thread awhile back. But honeslty a Porsche isnt much more practical if you can afford either one. Same space either way. A Gallardo is nice for daily driving if you really wanted too. Has good ground clearance, raise the front with a push of a button to get over large speed bumps, etc. Holy fucking stable. How does one afford something like that?

Since I am slow, how about better

Curious, not familiar with the rules. Can you do the 150 & 130 with different setups? ie, have a moveable tonneau?

If you aren't "limited" in enclosure volume, 19" should easily allow enough angle to fit 18's.

My wife on the other hand found out shortly after we met.

As of recently I understand very clearly how ultra stiff feels

Not really impressive, but considering it's my sled I thought it was funny. Amazing what you find searching for something completely different.

So if a moron tries it and likes it, but someone who actually understands how drivers work, driver design, acoustics etc never does but can state exactly why the driver is a fail you will pick the opinion of the moron? Curious also what you think trial entails? Is listening to a driver trying it, is modeling it trying it, is trying it in one single box in one car trying it, or is it something else? Sorry you got scammed into buying a sub-par driver from an asshat but perhaps you need to rethink what you read places.

Funny, this is the guy I bought the IQR from

And yes I know, normally you "use" dried pasta and some like it for the bite and flavor, but I say bullshit. Dressing up the fresh tastes better IMO.

Actually I normally use 4 eggs and then enough flour to get to the right consistency. Can easily do 8/10/12/14 whatever

And partial is okay. I normally make it in batches that require around 2/3lb of flour depending on the humidity and the size of eggs.

How many lbs of pasta for 10-12 people? I get confused since when I cook for 4 it is like cooking for 2 since the boys and my wife together eat about what I do.

My mom retires tomorrow. Having the whole family over for champagne, carbonara, scallops and a pear/walnut salad.

Don't be so mean on Bose. Bose is purposefully not designed to sound good as their main focus of design is different. Kevin on the other hand doesn't understand even rudimentary aspects of design or audio. He does however understand how to lie, cheat and steal.

ie, you'd rather see than artificially change the color to somehow try to make yourself feel more cool

Ahem, change your diet and stop banging chancre infested whores. Actual LOL, that made my day I had to go back and check if I did a typo. Seriously, what to change in my diet to help me keep the cold away? I eat fruits and veggies in decent amounts. start taking one a day (vitamins) Absolutely the wrong approach. First find out what you are lacking and then address it naturally. If that doesn't work apply the bandaid.

That is nearly 15 years old
