  1. But are they helping?
  2. Was short on time with my last post but wanted to add. As far as drivers handling more power than rated, you should understand this from working with subwoofers Alton. For each octave above fs the driver plays it should thermally raise the rms rating x2. So in other words, higher frequency's don't require as much xmax as long as they are filtered right. A good example for you would be model a driver with whatever power you want to see and look at the excursion plot with the filters in place. Should give you an idea.
  3. That's a good way to look at it without over thinking it. lol As far as the THD distortion of the amp vs "nonlinearity" of the driver, they are different things. Please ask if these answers haven't summed it up for you Mr.Alton.
  4. Thanks for taking the time to elaborate 95. I understand the math myself but can not word it as elegant as yourself or Brad. SO I was hoping to get Mr.Altons question answered is honestly my reason for posting. And yes I have read the pinned thread on headroom in the tech section. I also have a large collection of CD's and do my tuning with them.
  5. I am referring to dynamic peaks in music at any volume. I run 3.5" FRer's on 10 watts for my mids/highs so am aware its not just at full tilt on high power.
  6. Specs? http://www.memphiscaraudio.com/products/amplifiers/special-application-amplifiers/ I found it looking for a sub amp to match my MCD 4 channel. The price is retarded though.
  7. I was under the impression that with a clean signal and the proper xover settings that a speaker would benefit from the extra headroom? As I have heard Brad give the formula for the load placed on the amp for dynamic peak's, I am interested in the scientific answer.
  8. Not sure on the Protank model. I have been smoking cigars when not vaping as I really just want to stop smoking Camels/lemaC's. Once I am over the LemaC's I think setting the vape pen down will be easier. There is some weird mind control shit going on in them f'ing Camel's.
  9. Talk about a tiny amp.
  10. I bought a Kanger ProTank and an e-Go VV battery yesterday. I must say I am in love with the Protank already! Still need to get an Evic setup for dabs though.
  11. Seriously mang who's the engineer here? Just kidding. Has been awhile since I did it. I tried finding the tutorial on Coloradok5.com to refresh myself to no avail on the reverse bleeding. As far as bleeding brakes I usually rest the cap on the master while bleeding so possibly. I know, but I can flip the sled MUCH easier than you can flip a car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBk00597EyE WTF am I doing wrong linking the video's? Usually when I copy the video URL and paste the link using the "link" function, it shows the video, NOT the link? Anyone?
  12. Keep anything you are going to glass and the glass its self heated until right before glassing. Then the glass should create its own heat once mixed. I have glassed and painted in Colorado winter's with this route.
  13. When in doubt, Youtube it out.

  15. Looking good brother! The enclosure and amp racks look like they should come out sweet. My wife has an '06 Xterra so I am tuned in.
  16. Feeling better today Matt?

  18. Some brake conversions require partially unhooking the caliper to allow it to swing upwards so any air trapped above the bleeder valve can get out. Once again by design as they use off the self calipers.
  19. I pumped the fluid in reverse from the slave cylinder.
  20. Had that problem when converting an old Chevy clutch to hydraulic. Due to the design of the master cylinder the air would not exit without forcing the air backwards out of the res. Should work good actually.
  21. What changes?Dress code change. Back to jeans and collared shirt M-TH, casual friday; now allowed to coming in at 4:30 each day and leave at 11 on fridays, since at that point we are at 40 hrs. J No permanent or beni's? wtf
  22. I have found I have the best luck bleeding brakes by myself. I place the end of the bleeder tube in a 1/2 full bottle of brake fluid, open the bleeder valve and pump until I am happy the air is gone, than close the bleeder. Keep the res full of course. I have thought about trying the one way bleeder valves but have never had the need.
