Cause the Chinese haven't figured out how to make good ones yet.

I pull my radial arm saw outside for working with MDF, either that or I need to spend 10 min with the leafblower in the garage afterwards. Outside FTW.

Since the glue is stronger than the wood even with a lowly butt joint, I wouldn't be too worried about getting fancy. Miters are fine, especially if you find them easier. All you really need is a good surface to glue on.

And props on your email to Goob, I'd spend more time visiting if those issues weren't there.

Oh, I didn't comment on the XPS. My old Dell latitude's sound card was down 8db at 6.5kHz, I am sure the new ones are better but ALL laptop manufacturers pretty much use the cheapest on board sound that supports video functions that they can get. Always a good idea to use a ProAudio card for a ProAudio function. You will really like the M-Audio box especially for music playback. Much, much, much better processor to plug into your ToObz. Mine has balanced outs and ins, pennis does the USB version have them to??

I'd be wary of any Creative board...freq. response & phase aren't typically held very tight, needless to say that is of course why they bought M-audio. The MLS system should do noise and FRF's as well. It might even do stepped sines, don't know anything about that software. Good deal tho.

Neeed......to......find......more.......space......under.....the.......rear..... seat!

I have an M-audio PCI card in my PC and it rocks. Using it to A/D my analog sources. NP: I call my baby pussycat, Funkadelic

Holy crap, that is cheap. MLS is the only way to do time arrival and can be "worth it" for that alone. Here is the mic, I have: http://www.bksv.com/pdf/Bp1380.pdf But mine was a gift.

MLS? Details? Not really sure what you mean by that. Stands for Maxima Length Sequence, basically it is a pseudo-anechoic way of measuring speaker and or microphone response. It is a near pink noise signal that is 100% periodic over a defined powers of N (the higher the more accurate the measurement). The periodicity allows you to ignore reflections in your measurements as *generically* it understands the time base response and can look at just the primary output from the speaker. For R&D speaker development this technique is a must, but I would like to understand why it is proposed to be used for the car audio environment? For tuning it can be useful to determine how on axis your response is, but the technique of using a SSR (steady state response) seems much better. I am in the process of developing a pseudo SSR input for my cpu. Basically it will do swept sines, but dwells at locations (I am thinking of doing 1/48th, 1/24th octaves) and at each location plays the sine until the difference in the average acoustic pressure is within some amount of uncertainty (settable) it then records that value and "steps" to the next sine wave. This gives you a 1/nth octave output of your true response without ringing transients in your car from previous tones. I think it would be mucho useful for setting up a system. Anyone have any thoughts?

If the booze is free get your ass there ... if it isn't, well ... take your time. Good point. Im Druuuuunk... God damn. 8 crown and cokes + 1 pack of ciggs ended up being $58 and some change. I hate Dallas for that reason. If that is downtown, Dallas is cheap. Try Chicago for a while, I had to move to the Twin Cities for that reason alone. Dang average weekend bar tab busting 2 bills I couldn't hack.

You should have gone to a private school!

G' night, time for me to pass out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You listen as well as your feces.

....when you own a $1500 mic for your RTA and have only used it for eq'ing your car in the past few years

Doh! Good reason to get an aftermarket stereo. Ford stereo's suck. I too thought there was a manual eject button, but I guess if the electronic one doesn't work you are going to have to go fishing. I'd recommend the skinniest tool you can find like a good tweezers and some gentle persuasion.

Land crusher ftw!

The extra weight of the logo really messes up the sound....but I do like the look!

Oh please don't answer, not what I need to hear right now. I am completely chit-faced. That and I have to get up in 3.5 hours to drive from Dana Point to LAX to fly home.

By healthy, I assume you mean super nasty?

You are sittin' on hemorroids too? I wouldn't joke about them either, especially not if you have to sit and teach a class even though I thought it was just Tfryr that was backed up.

There is more bracing in the UPS boxes.

Hello! Sounds like with a good install it could be sweet!

In order to avoid breaking the rules, I will link a link to a link that goes to hell. http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/showth...61&page=1&pp=10 I am comparing the Daytons and Seas CA's for my truck and don't really want to have Seas in both cars, but Slammed's review must be the most pathetic and frustrating thing I have read. It surely doesn't help me at all. Aargh, wtf people can't you say something literate? (Link in 10k's post--last on page)

Good luck Justin and Shanna, hope it works out for both of you!!
