  1. The wife was looking for a good breakfast mix and she always hated whey protein, so she tried special k and a couple others. I finally talked her into looking at True Nutrition and she designed her own mix with some help from Aaron. Damn if they don't taste good! Makes me never want to buy bulk whey again reguardless of price. She had a creamy peanutbutter blend that tastes like peanutbutter icing and a cocnut one that tastes like pie. Guess they will be getting more business from me. Thanks again J and Aaron.
  2. Got more pictures for you all. These pictures here are of an old Allison Turbine engine and compressor at one of the other locations. The engine is rated for 4,000HP and it just does have an automatic control system on it. These pictures are some rarely seen. Just earlier this week we had a unit at another location have a major failure on a connecting rod on one of the power cylinders. It's a 2,000HP rated Ingersoll KVT engine, V-12, turbocharged and I believe I have some pictures earlier in the thread of the same engine with all the compressor pistons, valves, rods, etc. removed and a shot or two in the crank case. The following pictures are only the first I've gotten of what happens in one of these when a rod lets go. There's been MAJOR damage done to the frame (block) but I've yet to receive those pictures. Suffice to say it's a major problem but they can stitch it all back together and getting running!
  3. AAAAAAAAAAAAACK MOTHERLAND
  4. Got the side steps removed. Love the look, but needs amp power steps ASAP. Although my over grown bushes on the house is alittle embarrassing. lol
  5. You are WAAAY over thinking it. There are KEY CONTROL POINTS that dictate how to pick a driver. Can it play the range you intend to use? Will it work in your alignment? Do you have the processing to deal with any cone breakups if they are in your intended range? It's that simple. The purpose of the graph's is to show you how the enclosure volume effects the Qtc value. RE-RE-read my paragraphs before the graph's. All drivers are going plot relatively close to this. I have done actual testing with different size boxes to understand this in real time. The results are simple, a super small sealed box will force the driver to peak before rolling off. IB and/or larger sealed box will roll off more naturally, which is generally a good thing for SQ as you don't want peaks in the FR. I say generally bc you can use box size to bump up a weak low end without the need for more power. YOU will have to test this to decide, and I would suggest it before even touching the door. ALL instruments including the human voice reach over a broad range of octaves. There is the fundamental sound and then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th harmonics. As far as staging lets use drums for an example. If you where standing right in front of the drummer you would have a single point sound source. Now listen to the drummer on a recording with all speakers in front of you (computer, home stereo) and you will note that the multiple speakers being grouped together still have the same sound. Then listen to the same recording in you car where the speakers are not grouped together and you will recognize the different octaves not in phase. The different octave's arrival to your ear is only off by milliseconds, but that's enough to ruin the single point source sound as far as your brain is concerned. Now if you have multiple sources of the same octave from different directions it will cause cancellation or reverberation if not in phase. I call this the "Wal-Mart" sound. This is ALSO a bad thing as far as your brain is concerned as it will cause listener fatigue. As your brain is trying to align the sounds and will grow tired quickly causing your brain to zone out the music all together. Your ear is only a sensor, your brain is what does the processing. This video is deceiving in that they overlayed the song to align with the speakers movement. It does however give you a grasp of how the acoustic coupling of the drivers should be seemless.
  6. maybe this weekend. Had to focus on my education, so the truck gets pushed aside. I did order 2 more d1600's.
