  1. Kickstand TOP
  2. A little tube snake boogie Is always a nice bonus.
  3. Good food, good company=life complete for me
  4. Yummy On the cucumber salad. I would of cleaned the table at that meal. Sounds about exactly like what we eat. 3-5 veggies with most dinners.
  5. Brisket was about 160. I foiled it and turned up the heat. Hopefully will be falling apart in no time!
  6. Hopefully do the wood windows in the next 2-3 years. Will be the icing on the cake.
  7. Thanks! I just bought three flavors of corner bead to test fit underneath. You guys may see pictures soon to get input. Lol
  8. A question for reference Sean. What is an acceptable variation in angle difference between the tweeters, in relationship to the listen position? I.e. Is matching the angles of the large format to the listeners seat as critical as a full ranger? I understand that off axis will sound best, but should I forget about the pods ending up symmetrical?
  9. That's not bad for 6' 2" if I remember correctly. Thankfully almost everything I gained since being at 201 has been muscle mass. Figured I better go with the "a body in motion stays in motion" idea.... since I'm pushing 40 this month. Not lol
  10. spent part of yesterday putting in the window sills I made, that match the baseboard. The before^ After^ Before^ After^ A sample of the before with the nasty D trim. And with a nice corbel effect after!! Paint needs another coat. I am stuck on if I should do a corner bead under it. Need to pick up a stick to test fit. Don't know that I want to try routeing something that small.
  11. Did someone say more dynamic range and with less SPL compression? I'M ALL IN!!! Some quick template action. I can get them aimed to the center of the car. Which is about 15 degrees off and above axis. I'm still stuck with the single channel cheesy graphic EQ, but can deal with that next if needed.
  12. Brisket is up to 125.
  13. I am 220. I made it 201 this spring putting in work. Back to 220 now, 220 no matter what the fuck I eat! LOL
  14. A sealed pod on the door could give a nice bump to the midbass, by raising the Q. Is where I was alluding to before.
  15. The ecm is under the passenger seat, so probably is no go on that one. (Looked this evening) phasing/blending may get weird with the midbasses seperate, but could work. I would be crazy enough to give it a try if it came down to it. I also noticed tang band had a 6x9 midbass for a decent price. Get ya the cone area of an 8". Otherwise the anarchy is a solid choose. I'm almost curious enough to see if it fits that I may have to measure. Lol Five is definitely your man for the widebander and tweet. There's also a bunch of other guys on here that have played with a bunch of drivers, that im sure will chime in.
  16. Throwing a baby 6 pound brisket on the smoker for the night!!
  17. When youre in a jail shower I would hope... lol
  18. Guess I misread "a pod under the seat" comment as a sealed pod. I didn't guess you would run infinite baffle under the seat. My bad. Anyways a good bang for the buck midbass with a paper cone. http://gr-research.com/m165xwoofer.aspx or this http://www.diysoundgroup.com/anarchy-woofer/anarchy-4ohm.html I personally had full rangers on the dash in my last car and always wanted to try the bamboo impregnated paper cone tang band. https://www.parts-express.com/tang-band-w3-1364sa-3-bamboo-cone-driver--264-844 As far as tweeters I think the ND 20 would be hard to beat for what your planning. Good luck with the install!
  19. When nothing else will change, change your perspective is a wise choice Matt. No sense in making yourself sick because of a sick situation. Hoping the best for you buddy.
  20. Now you have me jelly. Wish I lived somewhere I could ride right onto a trail system from my property. Then I could justify a sled.
  21. We had to euthanize Daisy dog after her 13th b-day, which was hard. Cleopatria has been a great predecessor and is a ball of joy to have. Crazy smart, affectionate and full of puppy energy! Oh SNoW... Good to hear the new pad is treating you guys kindly.
  22. Sounds like a volatile confluence, hopefully you are on the shore. The cycle of checks and balances has been accelerated lately for myself also.
  23. I believe what Five is asking is how much volume you can fit for the mid bass, not the mid range. Then human ear can not localize sound under 80 Hz, The human ear can only pick up side to side in the midbass range. The directional artifacts in the music come from the mid range and tweeter. So if you were after a good soundstage, then their location is very important. With a good processor not as important, but still smart to not make it hard on yourself. You will have the best luck blending/phasing with the tweet and mid range mounted as close together as possible, on the same baffle. Like the pod you just posted. The volume of that pod is not very important. You can vent it into the factory dash speaker hole and put poly fill in the pod if it is too small. Not sure if your wife is a total audiophile? If not I would be surprised if she was not beyond happy with just a 7 inch mid in the door and a good tweeter on the dash. ( not in the factory location lol) Not trying to talk you out of anything just reminding you KISS!
  24. Duck on water baby, duck on water.
  25. Was really coming down this morning. This is Cleo and its her first time seeing snow!
