Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

 

 

Any recommendations on some 3-4" midranges and tweeters to be run active 3 way. Midbass will be Exodus Anarchy run off axis in the doors, and mids and tweeters will be run on axis on the a-pillar.

 

Also willing to run a fullranger on axis to pair with the Exodus', just needs to handle ~1000+ Hz

Don't run the Exodus that high. If you run a 3 way you can get something that digs WAY lower and use a VERY cheap tweeter on the top. MOunting locations will determine all options though.

I would rather run a two way system. Let's say max budget is 160 for mids and 160 for highs as maximum budget. Is there a better option that Ex-Anarchy? They seem to be quite the performers. I can get the tweeters/FR's/whatever on axis, but the mid will be off axis. There's only so much I can do. What do you suggest Sean?

I know I mentioned a 2-way with the peerless hds tweets, but now I see you already have them according to your sig? What's wrong with that setup?

A buddy has a pair I fooled with. Haven't had time to see if them + Anarchy is the way I want to go.

Holy shit quartz is expensive!

 

Did you check Silestone?

 

Yes  $65-$89 a square foot.

 

Damn you Aaron! Took the wife over and guess what she picked out! I think you called her and told you.

 

Silestone Coffee Brown 24 sq ft $1800.96 and $310.00 to cut the sink hole.

There's a black Lamborghini Aventador I see cruising around. I would take one of them in a heartbeat. The Countach was my dream car growing up.

Preach it brother!

 

However, that does help disclose that we are fucking old.

Silestone is nice. Zero maintenance required. Most natural stones have to be sealed annually and can/will stain. Not Silestone, however.

 

Keep your sink cut out. It makes for a nice portable work station.

My granite is fantastic. But definitely keep the cut outs. I have one for my sink and one for the range.

I ask the question

 

Why am I being charged for the cut out material? Then told them since I have to pay for it, then I want it.

I wanted to know if I cut the hole myself would it be cheaper. They tried to tell me I could not cut quartz and I need special tools. I ask would a diamond bit and cutting wheel work. If so I have it from doing tile work.

 

Wife told me to quit being a dick and just let them do the work.

I'm going to tell you right now, you don't want to do that work.

Good on you for being frugal, but you don't want to be left holding the bag when you crack your counter top.

Usually for stone they make a larger diameter partial cut around the hole and reinforce with steel then cut the real hole. So you would need a router up to the task too. Most of their cuts are with a router in fact.

You have bigger balls than me. I would never have thought of trying.

I feel like such a creeper watching from a distance. We've had 6 showing on the house in the first 3 days.

The wife will not let me, but I would not be afraid to cut it.

I was in the construction industry for quite some time, worked for a cabinet builder, visited many stone top suppliers and have never once seen one cut a hole with any type of router.  They either use a water jet or diamond wheel on a  grinder and a jig.  The only time I have ever seen a "router" used for stone was for profiling edges.

That's wild. I'm pretty sure mine were cut by a router. Maybe that was just for the edges. It was the only machine in the middle of the shop though.

Yeah typically it's just cut with a wet blade grinder or saw, then the cut edge is polished as necessary.

I'm on the fence about it. The guy shore does have some cool stuff. Lots to do before such details....which reminds me, time to order a front lip biggrin.png

 

:woot: 

I found a plastic lip in Germany, 80 euros delivered vs $160 delivered from the US. Plus it arrives fast.

And I'm going to have to flock the dash part which is above the gauges, it reflects light. How easy is it to flock a piece of plastic?
