Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Crazy weather here. We got almost 8" of rain. Guess this will put my base to the test in the garage.

Or maybe I should splurge and get the Fountek FR88ex also. It's better above 10k. 

both are really good 

used the founteks in my bro's sentra 

[///M5 2,833]

On axis the founteks are sweet .

[///M5 2,833]

I wouldn't pay the premium though if not on axis

[///M5 2,833]

Model A is gone.  One relief down

[lithium 358]

sounded much better then they look 

[///M5 2,833]

I always have a desire to go to Paris.  Spending the weekend after next in Bruges

[///M5 2,833]

Matt do you have a travel tripodbyou like?

[///M5 2,833]

Sirui t025x is one I am contemplating

Not really. I have that one that looks like anew aggressive set of anal beads.

 

It's ok, but I wouldn't hang the white lens off it.

That looks fantastic.

 

I would be crazy jelly.

[///M5 2,833]

it would be for hanging the 11-16 off of mostly .  not beefy enough for long exposures with big whitey but a useful perch at soccer games perhaps

[///M5 2,833]

The zomei 669c or its cheaper aluminum counterpart are the more budget friendly versions

[///M5 2,833]

My hotel in Bruges is in the river with a view so I may want a 20sec exposure

[///M5 2,833]

Sitting in my backyard burning up the wood i cut up with the chainsaw.  Was just down3d shut in my yard from the last 6 months and took me an hour with the saw.

That;s the problem, I don't know how to treat the in-dash situation. But again, for $65 shipped, it's no biggie if they lay around. My Fostex FF85k's are collecting dust...

They will reside behind that grille. 

And screw USPS, I can't find a center console panel with a cubby hole instead of the ahstray here in Europe, and the best one I could find in the US is $79 shipped

I'm tired of reaching way down below the cigarette lighter for the volume knob on the Audison DRC.

why not use the 85's?

They don't fit because the magnet is too big. I'd have to cut some air ducts, which would be possible with either the dash out or the windscreen out and since I want this setup as simple as possible it's not gonna happen

The only wires I ran were +12 for the amps, the DRC cord and the subwoofer wires. 

[Adrian_D 520]

Ah, a picture of the mounting space. I will have to make some sort of baffle.

So how much does one rebuild a 5.3 for if wanting to do it on the cheap. The sea seems to be on her last leg.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

What makes you think it need rebuilt?  What do you think a rebuild entails?  What tools and knowledge do you have at your disposal?  .  Etc. . . .

[///M5 2,833]

Reasonable mileage scrap yard ones are $400

[///M5 2,833]

Actually maybe a bit more, that is a 4.8 but if I were you instead of spending $3k on a rebuild I'd grab the 4.8 and turbo it.

Sirui T-025x

SpiderPro Hand Strap

Joby UltraPlate

will all be here before I fly to Europe on the 3rd
