Welcome to the IHoP

I personally HPF my sub @50hz and LPF my midbasses @32hz. Once T/A'ed and phased correctly The blending makes the sub sound like its coming from the midbasses. food for thought.

Interesting.

Definetly easier to blend low freq's than the x-over point between the mids and highs. If I try to raise the midbass LPF it sounds cleaner but really seperates the sub. So for my taste in sound I like the warmer, thicker bottom end in exchange for that little cleaner sound.

What slopes are you using? Lpf at 32hz on midbass, Did you mean hpf?

Yes I am back assward this morning. sorry for the confusion. Sub LPF @50hz 12db slope. Midbasses HPF @25hz 24db slope. I fought the idea forever bc I didn't want to overlap the freq's due to cancellation issues, but found the overlap to create that one sound source instead of three that we all strive for.

Hows the project going Luke?

I swear my brain isn't good with remembering numbers and math concepts.

I knew 90% of stuff from Calc I, had three week break for christmas, got in Calc II, and forget basic shit like deriving and integrating. I'm getting all the HW done, but it's taking me ten minutes to do something that I use to do in two.

I can't remember the lyrics of music I listen to now, but I can play Offspring, and remember the lyrics from when I listened to them over six years ago.

People always talk about bits from a movie, "hey remember when x said to y, and then z did...", I never remember any of that especially quotes.

I'm sure this is pretty normal, but sometimes I feel like I'm always just off.

I messed with it for awhile and decided on MS Word. Mostly because I used it a week ago for a different assignment and it's somewhat familiar. I can't connect to the VPN to upload it to my X drive at school so I can't see how it actually looks yet. A friend in another section just finished his so I might have him sit down with me and show me some stuff.

I can hardly remember all the stuff I learned from freshman year and the course is a continuation of STA 205 so it's been a PITA trying to get the hang of it.

You can view it with any web browser. Should be able to double click on the file, or drag it into chrome, ff, ie, etc.

I opened it in FF and made sure all the links were working, but last time I actually uploaded it some of the formatting looked a little different so I wanted to make sure everything was staying the same.

that was a helluva arm/shoulder workout; hopefully it will keep me pumped up enough for tonight's testing.

It is funny watching people who think they have money.

I was looking at the Lexus is line for the wife and the lady at the booth offered a test ride. Glad the wife is not with me.

I did take some pics for you all.

Play improvision by ron tutt. I play it with the exodus', and have the sub basically off. Perfect example of that article.

In a car enviroment with the sub crossed low with a shallow slope, the sub will still play higher freq's, they are just attenuated. Get the mids to blend with the sub and you have a win, Win. Even with songs like this your mids are working less to sound natural.

That makes more sense now.

Ma'am I need an ass shot, okay?

It's harder to write a good resume than a Masters Thesis so approaching that in a class perhaps wouldn't be such a great thing.

Depends on who is at the defense.

Okay, then if I am the one on that side during the defense of the resume.

[///M5 2,833]

And considering I am the VP I regularly wear that hat.

[///M5 2,833]

Don't base anything on the fact that I have an 18" subwoofer lol.

Its basically off part of the time, or up all the way with no regards to a balanced fr. In fact later down the road I intend in getting my monies worth out of my fancy alt that took way too long to get. But this is an entirely different goal set.

I hear you, my BTL is only on like half way most of the time. Point being is if the reflections aren't audible then make them less of a deciding factor. I think once you get everything dialed in you will be happy with the sub on at all times. IF you are truely going for true music reproduction you will want sub freq's as well.

My comment was a bit different. There are a ton of reflections in your car that are causing interference. Some can be eq'd down some can't. There is absolutely no way around it. At the same time, that'll occur in the kicks as well just to a different extent since the reflected pathlengths are different and a great portion of the material around is absorptive unlike the dash and windshield. Pretty much anything with less than 10dB of separation is audible and that requires some serious distance in the reflection to make that much of a difference. Where I agree wholeheartedly is that I wouldn't that be the deciding factor as everything is a compromise. His in depth research may hint too far into the classical constraints which are useful for background information but too much detail for something as hairbrained as doing an install in a car.

It is dangerous for you to know, better to try them all.

My defense was a little nerve racking. Had close to 75 people in a very steep lecture hall and I presented with a 15' screen behind me.

I stick to the single black diamonds post knee surgeries. We're talking about skiing right?

Interesting, imagine that focus and concentration are the key to nearly everything in life.

<- has hardly ever shot a gun and found the above insightful, but the reality is the same as other things...but applying it to the right part. I would have focused more on my target and not the site.

I just pictured you with glasses and a piece of scotch tape over the left eye

Sounds like my senior thesis.

Either way I said write, not defend

When shooting I am having 2 problems that I noticed today more than ever. I am not able to shoot with both eyes open on iron sights. Everytime I line up the front and focus it to where I need it to be my stereo vision creates two target images and I loose the sight. I can close the left and put it down, but everything I read says I am handicapping myself only using one eye.

Next, I have started to blink when shooting. This is a kind of new thing for me. Especially when shooting the AR10 and AK. I have to concentrait to keep my eye open, and if another shooter is working the trigger I blink every shot. I am not sure when I gained a flinch reflex but do you have any tips?

Finally do you know of some good documentation on grip strategy for pistol? I am right hand right eye dominant. I fit my right hand on the grip and hold firm. I use my left around my right with a stronger grip and have both thumbs on the left. For me, my 1911 is the easiest to shoot even though the grip feels "long" and I stretch my finger a bit. With the 9mm and even with the ruger 22 in a bull bbl I feel like I can't get the grip right and just wanted to some pointers there too. The ruger angle is a nightmare for my thick wrists, but I would like to improve it a bit anyway. The XDM feels close to the 1911 but I feel like the nose comes up harder when it barks.

Any tips would be great. I know you are a champ at this so I appreciate any pointers.

Not a champ, use to be slightly decent but now I'm sorely out of practice.

On your safety glasses, put a piece of scotch tape over your left eye where you look out. Don't put anything dark, just something that will let the light in but obstruct your view. It doesn't have to be a big piece, a .5" square will do it.

On the trigger, dry fire, dry fire, dry fire. If you have something like a .22 rifle, shoot it from the bench focusing on the trigger pull. It doesn't matter if its a stock trigger or a match one, need quality trigger time though. Also, don't concentrate to keep your eye open, you need something to focus on. That item to focus on is your front sight, you need to learn everything about that front sight. Remember (in the words of the USA pistol coach) FOCUS ON THE GOD DAMN FRONT SIGHT. When shooting you should be focusing on the front sight, then bam, the shot breaks. If you tell yourself 'hey, I need to shoot now' you'll have blown it.

Breaking the trigger should almost be a surprise to you, but not a oh shit, didn't mean to do that surprise. Let your body do its natural rhythm. You would be surprised at how good a persons hold is, trust that hold and don't try to influence it to much. For some stuff you can force it, but lots of others if you force your going to be bite in the ass. The goal is to get the entire process refined enough to be driven into your subconsciousness so you don't have to think about it. Shooting is mostly a mental game, and shes a cruel mistress.

For a grip, I use thumbs forward. Main pointers are suck your hand as high up into the grip as possible, be firm but not necessarily crushing the poor pistol to death (though some people do). I'm terrible at explaining grips without being able to see what I'm talking about. Google some pistol sites and see what you can find. Thumbs forward is the standard for semi-auto guns, just be mindful to not be riding the slide stop.

I will do some dry fire work.

So the little patch is just to help train my focus? Eventually I will be able to take it off and use both eyes? I get a perfect focus on the front sight even when using both eyes, but the target turns into 2 targets when I use both eyes.

I do have really strong right eye dominance.

I cannot even imagine 2 eyes open when rifle/scope shooting.
