You know you are a ricer if...

- You rev on school busses

I've almost been passed by campus transit buses going 65-70mph before on the highway. It's hilarious, once they get off shift those guys haul ass...I feel bad having to accelerate just to keep up

[2kchevy 3]

I just might do that Aaron

You know you are a ricer if...

-You have more stereo WATTS than engine TORQUE!

I'm gonna have to disagree there.

Same

we know:

1 watt = 0.00134102209 hp

HP=RPM x Torque/5252

To simplify we will use 5252 rpms as a baseline as all engines should be able to spin at that rate with decent power

Therefore

0.00134102209 (watts) = Torque

If we assume 100ft lbs then

100/ 0.00134102209 = x Watts = 74,500 watts

If we assume that by a ricer we will have someone claim peak watts at some unreal thd I think that the statement is then correct.

sob , I swear some of the smartest people in the world are the most retarded

we would love an elaboration

[2kchevy 3]

Well gents, off to the gym then off to the slave factory(a.k.a work). See ya guys around 9:00 Central time, tonight.

[///M5 2,833]

Central Time!

and you right.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I am here.

[///M5 2,833]

no you are in the chat, not here

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I am in both

peak a boo

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Wish I could make a spam a thon run.

...heading home

[JimJ 11]

A few weeks ago I had a party at my house. A few people were interested in my home theater system so I was giving them the grand tour. They were really taken by the size of the Essence center channel speaker. I then removed the grill from the Essence to show them what was under the hood and to my surprise the center of the three woofers were pushed in. I was certain that my two year old had something to do with this. I called my father who is a bit more knowledgeable with speakers and he informed me that it would cause some sound degradation but that the human ear would most likely not notice it. I don't know how long the speaker was in this condition and I watch movies and listen to multi-channel music very often and I had not noticed anything.

I went to bed that night feeling ok about the situation and that it was most likely not really having a negative effect. I woke up the next morning and it was really bugging me. I had to try to fix this. I booted my laptop and googled the issue. There were many posts all over different forums suggesting using a shop vac to suck them out, one posting said to use a wooden dowel and a drop of glue from a hot glue gun on one end of the dowel and then allow the glue to dry while holding it to the center of the woofer. Other suggestions were to use a rapping paper cardboard tube to try and manually suck the center out, or to use a straw. I actually tried using my home vacuum cleaner with the attachment, a straw, and a cardboard tube. None of these solutions came close to pulling the center of the woofer out. I was about to give up when I decided to look in one of our storage closets to see if I could find anything that might work.

My eyes glanced over my wife

That doesn't work. You can't relate horsepower and torque as equals. Horsepower is work over time, so 1HP which equals 746 watts also = 550ft.lbs. per sec.

I think they should change the rules on SPL competitions. Instead of a single note it should be an average value of a number of notes from 20hz to 50hz equally averaged, with a negative adjustment if there are huge variances.

Bastard, pulling out technicalities on me. I was going to leave it in HP.
