amps
Absolutely nothing is wrong with class A/B Some people just don't like it cuz it draws like 20% more current Not true in all cases. Not true in a lot of cases in fact. I bet if you do some research you'll find many new A/B amps are close if not equal to their counterparts. Hell, just go through several CA&E mags and compare. That'll tell you a lot right there.

2 IXL 18's or 4 MJ-18 in IB?
Might actually be too much. General consensus is a halving of power when mounted infinite, BUT, it will all depend on how much true volume the drivers are seeing. Just keep in mind, thermal power handling is now out the window as the only thing controlling the driver(s) is the suspension and motor force.

Product highlight for August:
Dammit! Too many cool new drivers to play with and not enough money. . . . I still have to mess with the Extremis.

Tom, why are you in here? You have a vehicle to attend to.

Hopefully, training will be done tomorrow and I'll get to go home. Asbestos is some nasty shit.

Bottom. Until someone else posts.

UPS came.
Treo makes great gear. One of the lesser known quality brands. Definately can't go wrong with them. I kinda miss my SS15s.

68 Camaro sub box questions
I'm confused. Where are your marker lights? '68 was the first year for them.

I don't want to know WHY you know that.

New Mag proto pics
"Special considerations" add extra cost to drivers and when you are doing a large run, it just doesn't make sense (economically) to have specialty parts. It drives the cost up substantially.

MLI65 on 50 watts
You should be able to throw some power at them. They'll let you know when they've had too much.

Welcome to the IHoP
i don't understand them 100% but what i THINK is that the upconverting is a fake 1080p, kinda like taking a 128kbps mp3 and upconverting it to 320kbps. It's not nearly as good as a recording that was originally ripped in 320, but possibly better than 128. the HD-DVD and blu-ray are actually a higher quality recording. HD-DVD is 1080i. Blu-ray is 1080P but not all. Most of the 1080P Blu-ray discs are for the PS3 and as I've been trained it's almost impossible to tell a difference between i and P unless it is a video game which of course contains computer aided graphics. Also for note, if you sit more than 7 feet away from your TV, you cannot tell the difference betweem 720 and 1080i/P. HD-DVD and Blu-ray are both 1080p.Video games are obviously all computer generated graphics, but that doesn't have anything to do with it. Movies are recorded at 24 frames per second (fps), which is less than the 60 fps that 1080p is capable of and the 30 fps that 1080i is capable of. Frame rates in video games can vary greatly and are often in excess of 30 fps, which is why you can see a difference. The size of the screen is a huge factor as well as viewing distance when determining the number of pixels required for good picture quality. Let's say you have a 72" screen (62.75" x 35.3") ... at 720p (1280x720) resolution, this gives an effective resolution of 20.4 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), meaning each pixel is 0.05" x 0.05" ... at 1080p (1920x1080) resolution, this gives an effective resolution of 30.6 PPI, meaning each pixel is 0.033" x 0.033" ... Now this may sound miniscule, but the human eye (based on human w/ 20/20 vision viewing black vs. white) can resolve 0.003" pixels per 10" of distance, meaning that you can still resolve pixels up to 9 feet on the 1080p model and up to 14 feet on the 720p model. Now, with a 32" model (27.9" x 15.7"), this is reduced down to 4 feet (1080p) and 6 feet (720p) respectively ... Yes, yes, thank you for the correction. I knew I was forgetting something, but I kinda got a crash course.

MLI65 on 50 watts
Precisely. I'm running mine wide open at the moment anyways. Once I get some slope control, I'm sure they'll take more, BUT doubt they'll need it. Why would you want to throw 100 watts at something when it performs well at less than half?

done! for now (pics)
Are you looking into the IDQ v3s? If so, let me know how they perform as I'm thinking about them for an IB install.
