Since when does Walmart not carry Road-gear???

Why not use one of the AA 6.5's?

Because that dumb ass DBB says its not a 6.5" speaker. He thinks its a 6.8" speaker.

wait which AA were you talkin about?

[jntar 15]

The bet is for $100, if he doesnt pay and I buy something I am stuck with nothing...

I dont want to be put in that situation....

I am not worried, I can shut down the TL with 1 8" so a 6.5" with more power should do the same provided i can make it move enough.

I personally think you should be able to use that speaker.

I know you'll do fine though

Hopefully I win these egay auctions I'm watching.

Up a good seven pounds in a nine days, so I'm pleased. Fairly quick bulk.

[jntar 15]

Come out of work today, flat tire.  Grab the spare, jack sinks in the asphalt.  Move the car, same chit.  Move the car to dirt, hard dirt, but still not enough.  Grab some wood, BINGO.  45 minutes later, spacesaver is on.  One problem. . .  It only has 10 lbs in it.  Damn.  Pimp it to the gas station, $1.00 for air.  BULLchit!  Fill the tire up, take long way home cuz I can't go over 50.  Get home an hour later, grab the tire, plug it, put it back on, spin it, feels like the bearing is catching.  Disassemble again to inspect the bearing, it is well.  Go to turn the piston back in on the caliper and notice the boot is pretty much non-existent, no piston movement.  Shoot some PB blaster on it and let it sit for 5 minutes, it finally breaks loose.  Turn it in far enough and line up the mark, re-install pads and go to put caliper back on, sliders are frozen in place and both boots are gone.  Scrounge around the garage for some new boots, find some, spend another half-hour with the torch freeing up the sliders, gring all the chit off them, drill the holes clean, grease, boot, grease, install caliper, pop the tire on, go for a test drive, COOLANT HOSE EXPLODES.  What a pucking day.

Amplifier mounting:

DO NOT mount an amplifier on your subwoofer box. I know that there has been a great deal of discussion over mounting an amplifier to an enclosure and many people do it all of the time with no problems but those people probably build good enclosures from 3/4" (or thicker) MDF with extensive bracing. Most people (especially young impatient people) are too lazy to do that and build unbraced enclosures from 5/8 MDF. These enclosures will flex considerably more than a proper enclosure and will likely cause amplifier failure if the amp is mounted to the enclosure.

REASON:

When the woofer(s) moves in or out, the box flexes and therefore causes the sides of the box to vibrate. This vibration is transferred to the amplifier mounted to the box. All of the electrical components in the amplifier have mass. Inertia (an object in motion tends to stay in motion, an object at rest tends to stay at rest) tells them to stay at rest, the box vibration is trying to make them move. The energy from the box's vibration is transferred to the components through the electrical leads which are soldered into the circuit board. All of this will cause the components to break loose and therefore cause the amplifier to fail prematurely. Basically, the amplifier will commit suicide!  I'm not telling you this because someone told me it was bad. I've been repairing amplifiers since ~1985. Virtually every amplifier that's come into my shop with parts rattling around inside them have been mounted on the speaker box. It causes the legs of the semiconductors to break (which causes amplifier failure). It causes the capacitors to break off of the board (which can cause catastrophic amplifier failure). It causes solder joints to break on the semiconductors mounted to the heat sink. It causes transformer windings to grind into one another (which causes lots of smoke to pour out of your amplifier). People who repeatedly tell others to mount their amps on the speaker box because they've never had a problem remind me of people who drink and drive and say there's nothing wrong with it because they've never crashed their vehicle. Eventually, in both cases, problems will arise.

The usb wire should charge it, or at least mine does.

A guy around here has his out for the summer - I'm going to try and get a little photo shoot going sometime.

x2.

Let it sit plugged into the computer.

I rarely use my iPod these days ... should use it more.
