Maybe change the title of the section to "News Feed"?

The 'fun' factor of a vehicle can be directionally proportional to the amount of caring for a vehicle, especially if the vehicle is not designed for such 'spirited' driving. very true Like when I had my old dodge truck, 82 Dodge half-ton, 4spd, 225 slant six, 82mph down hill with a tail wind... But lord did I have fun with that truck, taught me how to drive the piss out of a manual transmission, it was a vehicle you HAD to drive like you'd stolen it in order to get anywhere. I wouldn't mind a vehicle with a little character. Mine has none, in my opinion.

I would never have guessed you drove an Xtreme S-10, not sure what I would have figured you drove, probably something more along a standard 2 or 4dr sedan, but not an s-10... I was big into the mini-trucking scene when I was younger and still wouldn't mind doing a truck exactly the way I want, but I don't have the cash or the time to make it anywhere near what I would like. The practical side of me says my next vehicle will be a sedan but I am drawn to trucks and SUV's.

And if I'm getting something 4x4, I'm thinking K5 or Bronco.

Unfortunately, I was young and stupid. I bought a 2WD 4.3L with the "Xtreme" package. I've given it a bit of a once over so it doesn't look quite so retarded but as far as performance is concerned, it is pretty boring.

Plus I like to relax a bit when I drive. I'm not much of an adrenaline junkie, particularly if I'm not competing against someone else. And stock S-10's get boring really quickly.

I drive like an old man now. I have no interest in doing anything exciting. 5 or 6 years ago, though. God I feel old saying that.

Since Scott isn't here, I'll fill in for him. "You can't teach smart." also, "You can't fix stupid." I know he's said both to me several times, but I think can't fix stupid is the one he says more often. /tip of the hat

The Smashing Pumpkins - Cherub Rock

I've got a physics mid-term tomorrow that I haven't studied for but it is real simple, straight-forward stuff.

Yup, an entire industry releases thiele/small parameters because they don't matter. They're a defacto standard because they don't matter. So I assume you guys just put parts together? No real targets? How do you ensure you've achieved the type of driver you're looking for from an engineering standpoint? Once you've built the drivers, how do you check for consistency? But paper specs mean nothing....right. And enclosures should just be guessed at.

Gotta say...you always say "something so crazy happened" in here and then won't expand on that. So why even bother saying it? If you just want to tell a few people, just tell them via pm.

I use the old OiNK GUI for Foobar2k still. There are a few different ones I've used, but I love it this way.

How do you think your ear hears things? Here's a hint: pressure. If you measure 150dB at 40 Hz at your ear in 5 different vehicles, it will sound just as loud in all vehicles. Comparing scores on the dash is pointless because that's not where your ears are.

Foobar2000 and Winamp will play with the FLAC plugin.

I would like to have more information on that statement. Is perceived loudness something that the mind controls? like 50Hz@125dB seems louder than let's say [email protected]??? Call me stupid but I just want to learn lol The ear is more sensitive to certain frequencies. Sometimes people are confused and think that 125dB at 50 Hz doesn't always sound like 125dB at 50 Hz. This simply isn't true (assuming its your ears that are used each time). The point of confusion here is that people see a score taken with an SPL meter placed on the dash of one vehicle and the same score taken on the dash of another vehicle; they listen and say "Well this one sounds louder than that one" and they may be correct: your ears are not under the dash and, thus, scores taken on the dash doesn't really reflect which is in fact louder at the location where you hear the sound.

I'm jealous, Jim. I did notice "Jeremy" playing there.

And a tea to offset that.

Nah, much more than that. I think it's time for a smoke.

I am just sooooo tired tonight of doing shit for others on my time for free for the sake of this hobby.

I don't honestly believe that TC or SoundSplinter will be around for much longer, unless Mike decides to go with a different buildhouse. But we shall see and I hope I'm proven wrong.

If paper specs mean nothing, why even release them?
