Welcome to the IHoP

Really? Personally I think they sound like SHIT. My car sounds 1000's of times better for less than a grand which is ridiculous considering those are home audio speakers which are WAY easier to get to sound good. By FAR the worst sounding even when comparing to things that cost 1/3 as much.

Those Fonkens that were linked will DESTROY them.

I actually feel like I am not expressing myself strongly enough.

Fly me and the W up for turkey day and get her to listen to real home audio, and eat real good food?

I only have Front L/R and my speakers you could easily buy used for $300 each and they flat out super pucking destory the blose. Pretty much anything can. Craigslist is your friend.

Hmmmm well what brands are your reccomendations?

For speakers as well as amps.......

J

There are 10x more than there are car stereo options...

Also a lot of new stuff I haven't paid any attention to. Even Best Buy should have WAY better options.

We shall check there again.............the issue i saw before was buying everything in pieces was more expensive than the blose

buy some cheap shit off ebay and put a bose sticker on it... she'll never know!!!

Hmmmm nice idea

wtf is this motherpuckers problem with me? i have never said shit negative about him, he wants to throw me under the bus like that? i don't have his knowledge, skills. experiance, or cash....definetly not his cash.....but i have a fondness of car audio like the next guy, why the hell does he need to address me as "such a noob"? he is better than me in a lot of ways already but why must he have my pucking name in his mouth if he has nothing positive to say? 2000lade can kiss my pucking sack, he might be better than me on some things, but at least i have enough respect not to shit on the little guy for fun.......that is bullshit......> throws pucking key board, goes to get a pepsi.......

'm trying to design a drive shaft and was curious if you guys had any idea what a typical driveshaft is made of, what are some typical lightweight alternatives and what are their yield strengths.

I am doing some calculations and for an engine producing 13.75 ft*lbs of torque (at the crank then goes through a 3.83:1 and a 9:1 Reduction [34.47:1 total]) I'm getting a 1.15" shaft when using a safety factor of 2.

I'm using the Tau=T*r/J equation and a yield strength of 40ksi (20ksi with a safety factor of 2) [6061-T6 Aluminum]

Seems like a little big for such a low power engine. In comparison if I use something like a 500 ft*lb torque engine I'm getting a 3+" shaft which is obviously

not right

Let him cock off. If he wants to be an ass with anonymity, just let him. If he starts personally attacking you unprovoked, then theres an issue. Otherwise, ignore him. It isn't the first time that somebody decided to bring an immature fight to the internet, and it sure as hell won't be the last.

your right,,,,, i guess currently he is pm'ing me saying he don't recall saying anything like that, so i copied and pasted it back to him, he says "well i call all my buds a noob..." but you know as well as i do, writing that and only that will be percieved as sattire, and nothing else, no one wants a bad rep on here, nor a said acceptance to shit talking..... i try hard to be cool with all, it just rubs me in a bad way.....

It's the internet.

[porkchop 304]

alright, > comes back with cold pop< , he made right with me, it's all good,

your right bro^^ "it's the internet,

but i sorta get all caught up in this, as a step outside of the daily bump and grind, almost a second reality, where perhaps in a world of great audio, i almost am a voice, i want to grow into this and i have no other form of that than here, i want to be accepted and not rejected, there are folks on here that have my respect fully for many reasons, i have meet several in person already, i am not one for being looked down on, fact being, us hood rats have our pride and not much else, i am a old east sider , i have a sense of respect that runs deep, i guess even on the internet it shows through.

but it is all good, he said his peace and i said mine, i was sitting in his truck this summer getting ademo, i will probably be in the next one......

Kind of funny when you come home from college and have to take a step DOWN to Diet Coke and Crown Royal from the usual Coke and Crown Special Reserve.

Holy cow SFA beat TCU 92-0 last week

Jeremy Moses threw 6 TDs.

There were 2 other pass TD's and 4 Rush TDs

Jeremy's from Baytown Baytown!

ha ha, you said shaft.

It seems the hop has been slow.

wonder what para ordinance is up to these days...

Sorry, was out all day yesterday. Just getting caught up now.

jake locker is my hero! so nice to see USC lose to a team who didn't win a game last year. now Cal has a legit shot at going to the rosebowl, and maybe even a national championship if they run the table.

Steel, or carbon fiber wrapped steel. One of the problems with drive shafts is not getting them to stand up to the torque, but making sure that they can stand up to use and side impacts and getting beat around. One could make a driveshaft with a paper thin wall and it would hold up to engine torque just fine, but if you hit it with a rock you would be screwed.

You are not trying to use a solid shaft are you?

can't believe school starts again this week, summer is finally coming to an end

oceanic fog creeping up the pass

hit the trail!

I saw USC lost and laughed my ass off...funny shit...

went to the casino last night w. mi padre. I left with 30 more than I went with, so I was happy. But my dad left with 800 more. Seriously, when is it going to be my turn?
