  1. We booked flights to Washington state yesterday, for in august. Going to tour a college... and I have no clue
  2. Late night and super early in the morning are usually cheapest i have found. If you're down for that kind of thing. lol
  3. You sir have a keen eye for people with a keen eye!
  4. Was my second guess. lol
  5. I made your sausage and kale soup Matt. Was bomb AF dude. I did onions, potatoes, carrots and white beans. Thanks for the idea!
  6. Eye spied this cool tool.
  7. Such an elegant way to describe a total fuck show.
  8. Pic's of J's guitar. Since he isn't posting them. LOL
  9. I'm guessing you are talking basketball? I went to one of our semi-finals games for state this last weekend. Was a nail biter by the end. Last 3 minutes was almost nothing but fouls. We won by 2 points, but lost the last game the next day by 2.
  10. I'm pretty sure what Sean is trying to say is if you are going to do the midrange in the door, you do not need a midbass with as much range. And is no need to buy more than what is needed for the application. If the mid will be up on the a-pillar, you will want a midbass with more top end, for flexibility in tuning. Same with the midrange. In the door will require a bigger one, with more top end as it will be off axis. He is more adroit at acoustics then I will ever be, so I generally take what he says into account.
  11. I personally would shoot for a sub designed for a small/medium sealed enclosure. This is the guy I've been eyeballing. https://www.parts-express.com/peerless-by-tymphany-sdf-250f75pr01-06-10-paper-cone-subwoofer--264-1654 If you're into more high end, this guy would be sweet. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-10-subwoofers/seas-l26roy-10-subwoofer-d1001-04-4-ohm/ there is a few other peerless that look promising also.
  12. My vote would be a 10 inch. I've done 10" and 12" midbass. The 10" had a puncher sound and just sounded more accurate in the desired range. I think you're on the right track testing a sealed and tuning to the cabin response. I did some testing with the 10" in sealed box and really liked the results. I built the box a little big and just added blocks to get the desired Q. I'm currently in the process of building some ported boxes in a few sizes, to test the limits the of the 7". We will see how they perform. I honestly think a 10" sealed will smoke the 7" ported though, in regards to output and distortion in the midbass range.
  13. House is in a great location. Was clearly a spec house though, so the fit and finish was shit. On the plus, the appraisal value this year is 2.5 times what I paid 6 years ago. That and I'm 9 years down on the principle, from overpaying each month.
  14. No need. There are build in speakers already in there and I brought my own mic for the misses to hum on!
  15. Had initially intended to do it this way. Even bought oak dowel. In the end I was fearful I would a.blow-out the plywood edge, and b.go to deep and the dowel hole would show once the corners were rounded over.
  16. So fugging happy to see this trailer house AF insert go away!
  17. Yeah, I sensed the answer was just so it stays in place from the replies.
  18. Thanks dude! I was impressed for being plywood and them also being my first ones. Has been a fun learning experience. I am definitely hoping Sean will chime in. Although I will most likely attach all the foam I do not see an acoustical reason for it needing to be? I googled the question a few times but it is such a broad topic. I have the cookbook out on the table right now, just haven't had the time to read.
  19. If the CLR doesn't work I will use muriatic acid.
  20. Will be sealed heavily before use. Other than that, probaply a CRL soaking and rinse down. I shall see.
  21. Fair enough. Honestly was more curious if there is an acoustical reason to glue it, opposed to just stapling. Don't want spoon fed, just have spent my research time elsewhere and wanted to save time researching. So asked here! Thanks R2
  22. I feel for you. Wife went the pharmacy for her injections, and our insurance had lapped. Was some crazy amount w/o. She about cried thinking about having to go without.
  23. Above a certain frequency it changes reflections to heat, so yes.
  24. Doing 16" slate tile with a ledger stone wall accent. kinda a cross of these two. like the first one, but with the tile and stone from the second one.
  25. I've had the lay-out drawn on the ceiling for a year now. Ever since I bought the glass door. lol Shitty thing is there's loose fill insulation in the attic.
