  1. Save your money. Still prettier than half the muscle cars people love. :-D Name one muscle car uglier. Needs new plug wires and interior needs a good cleaning. Carb needs put back on as well. J So it doesn't even run? Run away.
  2. Seriously?
  3. They're not even considered Mustangs by Mustang people.
  4. Overgrown Pinto. No thanks.
  5. I'll guess your basement wall cracked and now letting water in, time to talk to some local contractor folks. Sounds like putting the pond back in would be cheaper. That had to have been a low point.
  6. I love me some melons!
  7. Fuck yeah! I used to mark them out at Kmart at the end of the season for $.30 .
  8. Do NOT use on a vertical surface and on cracks larger than 1/4" Here's another hint too. If you have a deep crack, take one of those foam pool noodles and cut it to fit down in the crack before filling. It will keep the filler from cracking and aid in expansion and contraction. Talk to Ryan about concrete, he knows all about that shit. So that crack filler has the same size limitations as sealant? Bummer. Pretty much the only thing to use is injectable epoxy, but it's not cheap, and if you find it cheap, don't waste your money.

  10. Tuckpointing is a bitch. Find some polyurethane caulk that matches the grout or mortar and use that instead.
  11. Matt, I hate to say it, but you'll have to rip the walls apart. I spent two years in one house chasing a leak. I finally ripped the walls apart and there it was, a leaky door footer and surface tension was carrying water all the way down to the other side of the house. You have to be careful with water as often the source of the leak is not where it is the wettest.
  12. Fucking sweet! Is your trunk vented?
  13. No mo snow?
  14. What you're failing to comprehend is the parameters are used for enclosure modeling and response in said enclosure. Put the two together. What do you get? Is it sinking in yet? If your progressive versus linear spider argument had any vailidity, you would have to have a shapeshifting enclosure to account for the change in response due to the change in parameters.
  15. Really? The small signal params are still enough for enclosure modeling. The change will not be "great" enough to affect enclosure design for anything other than extreme SPL use. Again, Really? "A heavier glue joint, slight imperfection in the spiders." Not detectable by ear, MAYBE measureable by precise measuring equipment. Not enough to affect anything.
  16. Here we go again. IT's funny as you made the blanket statement about the Axis. Now you've been proven wrong and want to spin stuff. Nobody said enlosure dictates everything, IT is by far the largest contribution to the performance of the driver aside from the driver itself. IT's also funny as you state, "I love how everyone is saying there's so much fail yet do nothing to inform people," yet you misinform them with your OPINION, and you even state it as your OPINION. It can be measured as fact and not opinion. You're wrong, you made a mistake, worded what your meant to say incorrectly, or just had a brain fart. We all know the enclosure does not dictate everything, but you OPINION that you can change it will no ill effects is just wrong.

    Yes. It's very common in hip hop "culture." If you listen to any rap music, you'll hear it used often.

    No, he meant aight. Just as it sounds. It means alright, but many people say, "aight."

    They are overwhelmed in the customer service department. It needs immediate attention and has for a long time. Fortunately, this is the only issue with them. While it sucks, you just have to wait.
  20. I wonder what JL would do if I blew it and sent it in for a recone like that.
  21. The specs gave me that answer.... Post the specs of a subwoofer you think is louder...Okay, it's evident you don't have a fundamental understanding of T/S parameters. That's been proven. Now, even if you did, these alone can not determine a "best" driver. They can only give you an indication of the ideal enclosure and application. There's a myriad of other variables to consider, most notably, application itself. Load the "best" driver into it's "best" enclosure in the "best" application, and send it a bad signal, what do you get? Your statement is akin to saying the highest powered vehicle always wins the race. Its a lot easier to win a race with a race car then it is with a horse and buggy.... I never mentioned enclosures...why would you assume that these high end subwoofers im discussing wouldn't be installed in a properly built box thats tuned for the woofer?? I'm done posting on this topic but I will continue to read it... You can't NOT mention an enclosure. You also have to remember each application is different, each environment is different. Herein lie the issues. Surely I could concoct a race where the horse and buggy have an advantage over the "race car." Again, you are not grasping what we're trying to teach. Don't get mad and run away because you were wrong. Read, understand, and learn. Just be careful as there is a lot of misinformation on the web, including within this thread. You'll be happier, smarter, and perhaps can then entrust your knowledge to others who will one day find themselves in your current shoes.
  22. I couldn't resist. WIsh I could somehow make the surround red.
  23. OMG are they insane?! Only the bomb squad should be handling that!

  25. This is true.If you smoke crack. So many holes in this, I don'y even know where to start filling in. Here's the problem with the internet.
