    Welcome to the IHoP

    I know you took pictures for us to see and you are about to post them up in the show off section right? Trying to make a post, but can't view it. It had a lot of img links to photobucket from my buddy's pics he took. :/ Either way, here's a link to my photobucket with 29 pics: 2010 Hampton Roads Auto Show If a mod reads this and can delete some of the img links, it may fix it.

    2010 Hampton Roads Auto Show

    Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me, but here are the pics my buddy took. Most are the hot antique cars and a few of the Porsche Panamera. We also saw the Blues Brothers (replica) police car in the parking lot.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Just got back from the 2010 Hampton Roads Auto Show. They had a tons of nice cars, but really wanted to check out an Audi R8 and BMW M6, but didn't have them there. The Porsche Panamera looked damn sexy tho.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Splitting up the IHOP won't help too much, however, blocking/slowing the web crawlers from it will make a HUGE difference, as it likely archives the entire thread each time it visits the site. robots.txt in docroot with: User-agent: * Crawl-delay: 10 Request-rate: 1/5 # maximum rate is one page every 5 seconds Visit-time: 0400-0845 # only visit between 04:00 and 08:45 UTC (GMT) or 11:00pm EST -> 3:45am EST Disallow: /forum/Welcome-IHoP-t2235.html

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I couldn't get into a thread no matter what I tried, I was able to get to the individual sections, but couldn't list a thread without a forum error, which appeared to be related to a URL plugin, likely the SEO friendly URL's. Also, the URL's being generated are different from the URL's I checked last night. Example: 97f23-{34221}-Nightshade-v2-New-Personal-t34096.html instead of just Nightshade-v2-New-Personal-t34096.html, something like that.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    The only time I've seen my droid somewhat slow was when I had a toooon of applications running at the same time. It runs everything in the background you don't specifically close. Download Task Killer (free) and kill off all the junk in the background, and speed/battery life goes through the roof.

    Man, you guys make me feel tiny/scrawny. 5'11 and 135 lbs. I've stayed within ~5 lbs for the past 10'ish years now, don't really gain or lose.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I would definitely make sure you exhaust your optimization options before upgrading again. I've seen similar sized/larger forum sites that cause hell on our shared/vps server wanting to upgrade, push them to optimize a bit instead, and never hear from them again. We have a few larger forum sites that run IP Board if you need a comparison, but I don't see any of them with a thread of 250K replies. Oh, if not in place, mysql query caching/application caching will likely solve the slow loading problem alone.

    ANYONE Make a Good Free Air Sub Anymore?

    I was going to say my 2 12" infinity kappa perfect 12vq's will be up for sale shortly, they do 200w @ 4ohm free air (free air generally only needs low power to hit fill excursion), but they're single 4ohm coils.

    It's been doing this to me for over a week and a half now, I might try Google's Chrome browser as I've been hearing good things recently.

    They always have me messing with our phone system, Trixbox (Asterisk + FreePBX), fixing slowness/stuck phones/etc. I hate phone systems, so messy in the programming/backend.

    Which Amp for 2 15"s BTL

    sweet! sounds good to me. this is just another preference question i guess but is there a battery brand that works better than the other or a particular one that most people use for systems like this? kinetic, stinger, and the other guy mentioned group 31 but im not quite sure what that is? group 31 is just the size of the battery. I would check out XS Power, they have a slightly higher floating point than other populars, but also a bit more expensive. Kinetik is another great brand/popular company, deka's if you want to save a few bucks. Optimas are good batteries, but there's better/bigger out there.

    Which Amp for 2 15"s BTL

    Most HO alternators (that i've checked out) put out most of their power at idle. A HO alt plus a few batteries in the back on a saz 3500d on two btl's, guarantee you'll be happy.

    That sized sheet is $26 at lowes near me, I can't find it on the Home Depot site though. I'll have to stop by later and check out quality/price.

    Found this in a previous thread: 'I'm in the process of packing up and moving back to Kelowna right now....... if this enclosure is being used it will turn up eventually BTW.....I'll still be available for SSA products during the move over the holidays but the enclosure builds will be on hold untill after new years....... (BIGGER SHOP) and 20 x the population to work with '

    Looking for some Punch

    I agree with KU40, it sounds like you want more midbass and are expecting it from the subwoofer. Assuming this due to the high crossovers and the OP saying the lows sounded great. You'll likely notice a world of difference once the subsonic filter is lowered to ~30hz and LPF to ~100/120hz.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Lowes is closer to me than HD, so I tend to go there more often now. I need to go there to pickup some cheap'ish MDF for a couple boxes: 3/4X49X97" MDF
