KU40

I appreciate your comments, and I know I sound crazy, as most people haven't done any research. Do you work for the government though? Cause I"d like to know how you know the level of technology they are at now, they seem to hide it from regular people. Are you referring to the visible military technology currently in use? I watched a discovery channel show about laser guided bullets. Which bombs are you talking about, the ones used in 1942? I didn't mean to offend you with my comment. I do think it's a bit of a silly conspiracy, but most all of us have some crazy thing we believe in, don't we? I do work for the government, but at the state level . So no, I don't truly know the limit of the technology in weapons that we now have. But.....I just don't think it could happen, because of the limit on the number of bombs we could physically have, the astronomical odds that they could bomb everybody basically simultaneously, and why anybody would actually want to do it. I mean, I believe that the earth has become overly crowded with humans and sometimes think we'd be better off if something like 90% of the population disappeared, but I would never actually think it could or would be done, or advocate it happening at all.

yeah, MKader and M5 understood correctly. I was applauding your for carrying over the other threads and deducing that he was probably going to take whatever we suggested and multiply it by 3. Let me know if I'm wrong, but it seems you have held a distaste for me since I made a comment in jest in another thread about the large rims causing the rattle that the guy was experiencing on his trunk lid. Yes I think having rims over 20" big on a car is ridiculous, but it was a joke and obviously I know rims don't cause trunk noise.

I wish I could remember. It was probably 5-6 years ago. Which also means it was on an older mic that's not as stiff as the new TL, but still, 170 is good regardless. Maybe somebody else knows who I'm talking about. It was in extreme class, and I think he had an 18" in there and did like a 172, then switched it out for a 10 and still did 170. I didn't make it up, I assure you. But I'm not even sure which forum I heard about it on (and saw the video of it).

hahaha. Maybe you should research who you're talking to before spouting off insults. I've seen a 170 off of a single 10 (that wasn't a solox), so 156, 165, whatever. eh. and......I'm pretty sure there is no fiberboard "specially made" for the solox. any properly built box made with generic 3/4" MDF would sound the same. But you also have to take into consideration what the box that they design will do for your music. If they tune it to 45-50 hz, sure it'll be loud. But it'll sound like crap at anything other than an SPL competition. So you have to ask yourself if you'd rather have 365 days of decent sounding bass or 362 days of crappy sounding bass with 3 good days at soundoff comps thrown in? and if they tune it to something reasonable, like 32 hz, you won't be hitting 165 db, regardless of if they have magic fairy dust wood. COME TO CHAMPAIGN ILLINOIS AND I WILL PROVE U WRONG!! THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE IN SOUND I know you're on vacation from here for a little while, but since you think this fiberboard is so awesome, tell me what the F stands for in MDF or HDF? How is your fiberboard any different than that? ok, it may be thicker, but if I glued three 3/4" MDF pieces together, I'd have 2.25" of fiberboard. and since you don't even know anything about this fabled fiberboard other than that's in general what it is and the thickness, you have no legs to stand on. any properly braced box should sound the same. Once the box is acoustically dead, there is nothing else to do.

So how is this supposed bombing supposed to take place? There are not enough conventional bombs in existence to cover the surface. Think about it. A 1000 pound bomb maybe has a kill radius of..........300 feet? Think about the size of the US and how spread out people are. That would literally take millions of those bombs placed every 500 feet apart to kill everyone. How is that going to happen? Using nuclear bombs would be utterly retarded and worthless, because the people living underground would never be able to come back to the surface due to nuclear fallout.

My advice is find something you like to do, and do it. If you like to ride a bike, do that. If you like to run on a treadmill, do that. There are many ways to do cardio workouts (which along with a much better diet will help you the most), but don't force yourself to do something you don't like because it will sap your motivation quickly. and stick to a schedule for going to the gym. You have to be disciplined enough to overcome those days when you don't feel like going. IMO, you just need to get your heart rate up and keep it up. Lifting weights is ok, but don't make that the focal point of your workout. But fixing your diet is basically as much of the deal as getting to the gym. Mcdonalds, pepsi, and alcohol are all bad when trying to lose weight if not consumed rarely. Cut down your portions as well on everyday things you eat. If you eat two sandwiches for lunch (like I do), try cutting it down to one sandwich and a granola bar. Only take one helping at supper. etc. etc., you know. If you need to go to the store to just get a few things, ride your bike. Sometimes if I just need fruit or sandwich supplies for lunch or something, I'll strap on a backpack and ride the 5-mile roundtrip to the grocery store. I make the distance longer by cutting through the nice neighborhoods instead of staying on the 4 lane big road because that makes it more enjoyable and safer to boot. This may be tough for you in Canada now that winter is upon us, but maybe there will be nice enough days sometimes.

But if all it needs is a fuse, he didn't get ripped off.

Good detective logic there. But again I think it's the wrong way to approach the problem. Why get 3 amps when you can get one to put power to all 3 subs? (Like a Sundown 3000D)

my 15 integrates very well with my front stage. It's really a lot more about crossover points and box alignments than the size. Do you know where you'd put all the speakers if you went 3-way? Would you go active or passive in either case? Either setup can sound better than the other. But a properly set up 3-way generally has more potential to sound better if the tuning is done correctly.

I'd agree with manbeer, an Icon would do great in a sealed box.

Just watched "Pulse" and it was decent. But after it was over I remembered the part in "forgetting sarah marshall" where they're at supper and Russell Brand is talking about how bad her last movie was because it was about people dying through their cell phones. But in real life, Kristen Bell's last big budget film was Pulse, which was basically about people in the cyber network. I wonder if that was just coincidence?

my reply was in response to 4runner, who said 8 gauge would work. Yes it would be ok, but 4 gauge would be better. I had forgotten that the OP was deciding between 2 and 4 gauge. 2 gauge would obviously be better, but I don't think it would offer any benefits in this application. Though if he ever planned on adding amps or getting any larger ones in the future, yes 2 gauge would be good to do now just so it would have to be done once.

well the KU-texas tech game last week was the same way, just opposite outcomes for me. At least missouri looks more beatable than previously thought.

I question the same thing maybe hes gonna acctualy use his gain........ when people ask will a 2000 watt amp be to big for a 1000 watt sub.. we tell them no.. not if you use it right. it seems MAYBE hes gonnna use his right and have some headroom. bl bl bl bl bl bl bl bl bl bl bl bl bl im glad to see your thinking more along the lines of the bl. and not the btl. why not 2 bl 15's? He still hasn't told us anything about this "sick ass ported box" other than.....it's a "sick ass ported box." How do we know the box they build won't maximize his subs at only 500 watts each? Where's the point in 1500 watts of headroom? Not to mention he noted that he was on a budget in his other thread, so why not buy a single 2000 watt amp that will adequately power them both? Not only will that allow him to save space in his trunk, maybe a little extra money, and plus he could buy a better quality amp than the crunch or other amp he was talking about in his other thread. But hey, just my .02.

watching that KU-KState game probably didn't help, eh?

I'm there with you. EVERY sub is underrated, apparently. they'll all take twice as much as the manufacturer recommends in any box. "I have a friend with a 3000 watt amp on that funky pup and it takes it all day."

where in the world did you hear that from? Not true at all. Nor will bass sound weird off of a stock deck. Run 4 gauge wire. Definitely. You will see less voltage drop to the back and less strain on everything. At a price difference of probably 5 dollars, why not.

hahaha. Maybe you should research who you're talking to before spouting off insults. I've seen a 170 off of a single 10 (that wasn't a solox), so 156, 165, whatever. eh. and......I'm pretty sure there is no fiberboard "specially made" for the solox. any properly built box made with generic 3/4" MDF would sound the same.

"Reeker" is ok. At least it wasn't awful, and there were a few tense moments. But they tried to throw a psychological twist in at the end and it was just confusing and didn't really fit. And the druggie guy was a horrible actor, which brought the whole movie down a peg on its own.

I question the same thing

Here's my roommate (left), one of our old roommates (middle) doing the male cameltoe, and the other dick-in-a-box member on the right. And here he is with the girl. But she was too modest to wear her costume out . She had it on for like 2 seconds, walked 2 steps out of the bathroom and decided she didn't want to wear it out. I couldn't get a picture in that amount of time without looking like a stalker, so I had to wait until they were ready to leave. Though apparently it was actually a beer wench costume, one of those green ones. She was......hot. Sucks that my pics are a little blurry, but I was kinda in a hurry to take them and I think I need to adjust my settings. And as you can see here, I don't think she is too fond of having her picture taken even in normal settings. The first time I talked to her tonight she had on the costume, and she was like "Hi again, even though this time it's a little awkward." So I think she was pretty uncomfortable in it, even though it really wasn't any more revealing than what she has on here. The skirt wasn't any shorter, it just showed her shoulders a bit (but no cleavage at all, it was conservative).

oh and my roommate said the girl from last weekend is coming back tonight, dressed as a beer girl with a skimpy skirt. I'm going to try and get pictures

I rented "Reeker" and "Pulse" as scary movies for tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully they don't suck.

ha, all three of those were listed in the link I gave. the ants and snails were in the same chain, though, as the one I was talking about with the ants and cows. the parasite went from the cows to the snail to the ant, then back through the cow by walking up the grass. It didn't say how it went between each though. And the crustacean is a crab, and the parasite is a barnacle that makes the male crab dig nesting holes for it. If it latches onto a female, it destroys her reproductive system and then makes her dig too. Both were in that article I just thought it was crazy, I don't think I've heard of it before.

http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/archive/200...29/1607282.aspx Pretty crazy. A parasite that breeds in cat poop. The mice eat the cat poop, and the parasite goes to the mouse's brain. Once there, it rewires the brain to make the mouse LIKE cats so that it will go up to them and be eaten. Then the parasite goes back into the cat poop and the cycle starts over. Wicked little thing. Plus it says perhaps 1 in 5 americans are infected with it, and it may cause more traffic accidents and crazy behavior in people. Yikes. The page also talks about a few other parasites like this, like a worm that gets into a cricket and makes it drown itself and a parasite that gets into an ant's brain to make it repeatedly walk up blades of grass so that it will get eaten by cows, where the parasite reproduces. That's some crazy shit. Mind-controlling parasites. Makes me shudder. Plus read the first comment towards the bottom, it's about somebody's family members who love cats, have mental disorders, and purposefully don't clean up after the cats.
