    FrostedFlakeJake's Picture a Day

    and that last picture is about 14 miles from the rocket site so don't think that's the bo-dunk road i was talking about!

    Look what I found today in the middle of the woods! It was kind of weird. This bo-dunk two-track just lead to this!

    Getting it done with 8's

    What error messages do you receive in WinISD? What information did you input into the driver specifications? If you can take screenshots and post them that would be helpful!
  6. I normally like to try to figure things out by my own but I'm not sure how to solve this problem. My front speakers are making high frequency noises that get higher as my RPM increases ever since installing a different amplifier. This is what I've done to try to isolate the problem/ information that may help: 1) Amplifier = JBL gtq200 2) speakers = Boston Acoustic pro60se 3) Before putting the speakers on the JBL, they worked fine for months. 4) I used the same set of RCA's on both the JBL and my other speaker amp (Pioneer). The Pioneer did not recreate the whine. 5) Also used a different set of RCA's on the JBL which did nothing to lessen the whine. 6) More gain on amp = louder whine 7) JBL is grounded to my battery in the back and grabbing power from that same spot 8) That battery is grounded to the frame 9) Pioneer is using starting battery for power and grounded to the frame ( i believe) in the trunk. 10) Head unit is Alpine 9886 with the "defeat" feature on. If I understand this feature correctly, it means the HU isn't doing any equalizing or modifying of the audio signal. 11) Engine off, whine goes away. 12) No RCA's on JBL = no whine. Any help is much appreciated. Thank-You!

    FrostedFlakeJake's Picture a Day

    Whew! I hope someone appreciates this one! I'm getting < 6 hours of sleep tonight just to go stand out in the freezing cold for this picture! Took over an hour of practicing to get the right shot. Two photos! First was just one of many practice shots with an extremely high ISO setting so that I could get the focusing right. Shutter speed = 30 seconds at 3.5 f/stop (lowest my lens will go) and 6400 ISO (highest that goes too!). I'm including it for two reasons, 1st because of the shooting star it caught and 2nd so that you can see that the lights really were in focus and that I didn't do a hack job Second is pretty much the real shot. Shutter speed = 10 minutes 3 seconds. 3.5 f/stop. 200 ISO. Enjoy! (Bonus for whoever can tell me what the hell is making the orange light on the horizon... it was 1:30 am and we were facing due north. the Moon maybe?)

    Welcome to the IHoP

    @Stefan, I would really like to be that comfortable on a bike. Not sure entirely how useful it would be, but it would be nice to have that kind of bike control. If you are into that style, youtube Jorian Ponomareff. He has well put-together professional videos similar to this one.

    Anyone have experience with Explorers?

    Explorers are easy to work with. The bins in the rear are good places for hidden amplifier storage. Don't know exactly what you are looking for. But they have plenty of space and I haven't had any vehicle related issues yet.

    Went on a dinner cruise... all hi-res images

    I know the feeling, but seriously that fourth picture down, I love it. It's my new desktop Is your web album public or is there a way to view it?

    Gorgeous pics. I especially like the fourth one! What do you use to upload your pics? I'm tired of mine being truncated

    diminished power

    Take this Set it to this Unscrew these Now, take these and make sure they are plugged into the thing in picture 1 Now take the black one and touch the metal end to a wire you unscrewed from your amp ( which was step 3) and take the red one and touch it the other wire you unscrewed from your amp (also was step 3). Look at the screen of the thing that was in picture 1 while doing this. It will give you a number. Tell us that number. Then, leave the black and red things plugged in, put the speaker wire down, and touch the red and black things metal ends to eachother and look at the number. Tell us that number. We need both of them.

    Sound Noob - open for suggestions

    Many would love to help, including myself, but first could you tell us the overall budget for your project?

    How are Hifnoics BRZ amps?

    If you don't mind me asking, why are you running the HDC at 2 ohms?
  18. Frostedflakejake

    How are Hifnoics BRZ amps?

    In comparison to Sundown and RF, yes. Considerably cheaper. Not saying they aren't as capable, just that their MSRP is lower. The name change is annoying :|

    How are Hifnoics BRZ amps?

    Well it would all really depend on your budget and if you have the same fear of purchasing used equipment. AQ and Audiopipe are often two "cheaper" amplifier brands that people recommend around here. There has been a few HiFonics horror stories, but in reality 99% of the time an amplifier fails it's the users fault. I actually run a HiFonics amp... but it's a tad older than the BRZ line

    HDC3 or UFO BTL

    Proof: Perhaps you should take your own advice and list the reasons as to why you would pick those drivers over the 2nd generation BTL.

    Speaker whine with RPM's

    Awwww that's no fun Thanks Honda!

    Speaker whine with RPM's

    So Honda, seeing that nothing other than amplifier was changed, would you say that the amplifier was defective?
