  1. Is 5/8" acoustic foam to absorb reflections. I have polyfil to place in there to slow the flow.
  2. About to cut the fiberglass insert into pieces. Then off to the dump.
  3. All dust mask and safety glasses here this morning.
  4. @///M5 or anyone with the answer. Is it necessary to glue the foam to the enclosure? All the pieces are wedged in pretty tight.
  5. THats some bullshit right there. I have lived in a place that did the same exact thing.
  6. It's on eBay, so I'm thinking it might be a knock off?
  7. Came home to 7 packages last night. Long behold is my fixtures for my shower! Looks like its time to demo a shower!!!
  8. Hey guys, do you think this Sennheiser is worth the money?
  9. Some clean power to play with!!
  10. On to the assembly!!
  11. Honestly dude, I think everyone is jealous of your switches. That's some next level shit right there. Straight outta James Bond or back to the future! Not to mention I wish I could afford ALL that equipment. you have so many great ideas in that car, I hope someday I can be like you!!

    Welcome to SSA!!
  13. @///M5A buddy of mines pic of some boondocking.
  14. Awesome vid of the fun!! Beautiful country also. Thanks for posting.
  15. What are doing for work now? If you don't mind me asking.
  16. But the suspense in killing me...
  17. And yes, thats why I call you Mikey! LMFAO
  18. The only cereal I touch other than granola.
  19. Love me some pink doughnut first thing in the morning!! The filling has a little extra tang!!
  20. We are hoping my man! My million dollar arm is feeling like its going to fall of as of late.
  21. Why would I post up more links or information for you when I can tell you did not read the two links I left in your biuld log? The one clearly went over speaker applications and crossovers. The second one clearly went over crossovers and reflections. As far as improving on what you have. 1. Get the gains and xover set right. If you have questions please ask. Try to keep the question short and to the point without coloring it with the unneeded information. Read the links and if you did reread them. 2. Stiffen up the mounting points of all the woofers. You are losing a lot of acoustical energy in the midbass range. I do not need to hear the car to tell you this. Mount wooden baffles or braces on the backside of the panels will be the most cost-effective. Where you think you only need two layers of sound dampener, put four. You can test this now by applying pressure/placing your hand on the panel next to the speakers when you are playing some midbass heavy music. See how it changes the sound! 3. Deal with reflections. Reflections have their own time signature. No amount of settings will get rid of this signature. It must be done with manually by placing absorbent material over reflective surfaces. Such as a dash mat or covering hard surfaces with a soft material. You can do testing now by placing towels or blankets over all the hard surfaces and see how it changes the sound! 4. Lastly is to touch on the cancellation/constructive/distructive distortion and comb filtering. This comes in many forms such as distortion in the music source. Distortion introduced from other equipment in the sources line, such as high THD of amplifiers being driven at 2ohms. Speaker companies even design harmonic distortion into the mid bass range, to make the speakers sound warmer. So the things you could improve on other than understanding the above paragraph. Install an acoustical barrier to block the back waves of the woofers. The back waves of the speakers interacting with the front waves, causing cancellation/distractive/constructive distortion and comb filtering. No real way to test this other than to know the speakers true acoustical signature from playing it inside of a enclosure in a controlled environment, before installing it in the car! I know you're trying to get it to sound better now, as you willingly admitted to me you thought it sounded better before.
  22. My intuition is that he is a very prideful person, in the wrong way. Whom is very naïve but lusts the knowledge. My first statement is based on me getting him to willingly admit it sounded better before hand. The second is based on my own experience.
  23. Speaking of pain, met a masseuse that was talking pressure points on the first date!!
  24. Honestly one of the least painful spots on the body. Not very many nerve endings there, as there is nothing vital. Nor do bones have nerves. The sternum on the other hand...
