Bleh, DD

Time to say goodbye to the A-pillar tweeter mounts

Diesel is controlled by fuel only, not throttle valves. Was working with a new diesel engine at school and the "throttle valve" was their ONLY to reduce shudder when the engine is turned off. just my guess Really? I did not know this. I don't know too much about diesels anyways, but I thought I knew the basics. Its why it is so easy to get more power out of a Diesel, just dump more fuel in it. Until you start billowing out ungodly amounts of black smoke out the tailpipe. Then you're just an asshole... On most diesel performance forums the "I want smoke durr" attitude is the same as here when somebody asks for advice on having a loud system outside his car.

As long as it has enough air since they work exactly opposite to gas engines. Too much fuel and you melt something. I only recently found out what people do with 4cyl and 6cyl Cummins turbo diesels..it's ridiculous how much torque those engines can make...

Other than that it serves no purpose on a diesel.

Just because you didn't hear something that can keep up, does that mean that nobody needs to try ?

We put ~4500w to one, burping around 40hz, took it no sweat. Do I recommend this to the every-day user ? No. but it can handle that much power if you're careful

The show host was saying if you are right handed you need to step to the left Just so you don't get epic lost

There was a survival show on Discovery where they explained something along the lines of right or left dominance. To correct that, take 1 step to the side for every 10 or so steps forward. LOL what if you sidestep the way that you are already circling towars? EPIC Lost You'd be going in spirals

Same here. Wine doesn't float my boat...

Ya don't say ? Some good board pics would help back up the "Made in USA" claim

It is. This is simply a logical discussion with a few having their own personal input. It is nothing more than a discussion of of objectivity versus subjectivity. ....And people judging how a speaker sounds by the way it looks .....and people demanding parameters for a driver they have no interest in purchasing in the first place ......and people who arent rational.....meaning you could have a super woofer with parameters one could only dream of and these people would still have something bad to say. Now why would any company even humor you with parameters....none....why.....they are rational. Argue on my statements, don't beat it around the bush... Why in the world would I buy when I can't find any info other that "It sounds like a choir of a thousand angels" ? There are people who buy because of that. There are people who buy on looks. Do you want to change my beliefs and make me buy now based on hearsay ? Sorry, not going to work. Understand that you are coming in a group where people care about some pieces of information to back up claims (that has been quite clear from when Impious started to post). Ultra-subjective opinions have a hard time flying. I could however point you to a group where only subjective opinions count. Convince one and you have the whole group under control.

I'm all for trying out and judging the sound but if parameters / measurements show the product can't work in my install, why bother spending money and time on it ?

964 apparently...good interpretation of KISS

How different was the Tumult compared to the XXX ?

That's what I'm thinking... Measure the DC offset of the amp. Simply put the DMM to measure DC and check the amp terminals.

I bet

I took a nap once in the backhoe. It was very warm compared to outside. Put a small pillow on the steering wheel and dozed off. It was perfect

I still get emails about my CVA-1000 that I had for sale for over 2 years, but it sold over a year ago. I was getting messages about a set of rims which were on a car sold over 4 years ago

It's going to sound selfish ! But no reason to stage bad...for a single seat..

That's not a good reason not to try them...heck, you need a bit of time and some extra wire.

How would that help? If the speakers are located at the same locations in the vehicle (i.e. doors), and you measured to a point in the center of the vehicle.....the speakers would measure equidistant You would have to measure the differences at the listening position. Then again, I've never set time alignment with measurements.....I've always set it by ear. Because your head moves. You can't account for how you sit or if you're leaning to the left or the right. You also can't account for passengers being in the way of the waves. Better to just pick a common open spot in the space and aim for that. As close to your natural spot as possible of course. You can do timing by ear, or measuring, the only real way to get it right though is with mic and computer that can measure down to the .001 ms. So, if you measure from the center of your car what will you find out other than the fact that you don't need T/A ? And what relevance doest the fact that you move your head to T/A or even how you set up T/A ? I don't stare left and right and behind me when I do critical listening... This measurement of the center of the car is similar to people pointing all speakers to the center of the car and up, to get a "centered and high sound stage". I find it pretty amusing actually... I believe the only viable solution of doing it by a computer + mic would be to have the software output certain impulses and count time from when the output was sent to receiving it back. Kirill pretty much nailed the second question. You would need time alignment for each of the drivers if you want to "do it right". Drew, have you tried only one pair of tweeters, mounted on the dash / a-pillars ? You are probably loosing a lot of output because of their position.

Extra windings on the transformer for higher voltage rail for now. Board layout is actually very similar to the DD Z2LV

Sue them for $100 for emotional trauma. WIN !
