Impious

There is not a single thing good about that state. If the USA were to take a shit, we'd call it Michigan. I've been to a lot of beautiful places in Michigan. The drive to get there is ALWAYS painful though.My complaints are more practical and about how the state is ran, less about it's aesthetic beauty. I've never been to the UP but I hear it's awesome.

Michigan sucks TOP in the HOP

There must also be a state law against having your house number on your house or mailbox, because fucking NONE of them have one.

Roads up there suck balls.

Where at in Indiana?

I meant to grab almond milk from the store. Accidently grabbed soy milk instead. Shit out everything I ate for like 12 hours. Not awesome.

My guess would be that he was looking to use the high level amplified speaker outputs and not a low level RCA type output from the factory HU.

Spent like 4 hours sitting by the pool with my pseudo-daughter today.. My ankles and the tops of my damn feet got sun burned. Wearing shoes sucks.

I pulled out my Jedi mind voodoo shit to help you out

Your questions are very vague and difficult to explain without going I to great detail of the inner workings of EQs and xovers. You need to do some searching around on sites like bcae1.com and gain a better fundamental understanding. Then things might be more clear for you

From what I can gather from the manual; front is front, rear is rear. I don't understand your question. The EQ and crossover only affected each other if the frequencies you are adjusting overlap each other. In which case, they are affected by the amount of adjustment you select. If the EQ band falls outside of the bandwidth affected by the crossover, then the xover slope does not affect the EQ. If the EQ band does fall within the bandwidth affected by the slope of the xover, then the frequencies are affected by the slope of the xover by the amount indicated by the slope. Same goes for the settings on the amp. The frequencies are affected by the amount indicated by the settings you select on the headunit. So if you set the HU xover to 100hz with a 12db/oct slope and the amplifiers xover to 100hz with a 12db/oct slope, the you created a Linkwitz-Riley 4th order xover which would be a 100hz highpass filter with a 24db/oct slope that is down 6db at the crossover point. You have a 9 band parametric EQ. Alpine has selected which frequency bandwidth each EQ band is capable of being adjusted to. So yes, with your EQ bands the higher the EQ band #, the higher the frequency bandwidth it can adjust. EQ frequency selection has nothing to do with speaker size. It has to do with the performance of your particular system and needs in terms of frequency response correction/adjustment. Obviously the frequency bands will only affect the speakers playing that bandwidth. So if you lowpass your sub at 50hz, adjusting 315hz on the EQ won't affect the sub, nor the tweeter....only the mid. Likewise adjusting 10khz will only affect the tweeter. It's just Alpine's design to not allow EQ bands to be clumped too closely together to keep novices from screwing things up too badly. Word of warning...when you boost the EQ you are asking the amplifier to output more power at that particular frequency. A 3db increase asks the amplifier to produce twice as much power. A 6db boost asks the amplifier to output 4 times as much power. Boosting frequencies on an EQ isn't a free lunch to gain output...asking the amplifier to output that much extra power can easily smoke a speaker if used incorrectly.

Both. PEQ to target specific trouble areas, graphic for general FR shaping. Make sure you can EQ L/R independent and then shape overall system response. Of course. The only auto-EQ I've ever seen implemented in a car that is worth anything is Harmon's. All of the others have been trash inside of an auto. Were you looking at using Audyssey? The Alpine version of it was horrible. IMO unless this is some new proprietary design that hasn't been (unsuccessfully) used in the car before and can atleast compete with the MS8...skip it. It will increase product cost and no one will use it because it will sound terrible. To my understanding the design of differential balanced inputs still improve noise isolation with unbalanced signals which decreases the likelihood of users experiencing noise issues with the processor. See response to #3. Unless this is something much more fantastic than Audyssey and the other auto-EQ's for the car...skip it. Make the inputs/outputs assignable/routable and capable of signal summation. I.e. If you allowed for channels to be L-R then people could use the processor for proper rear fill if they weren't running 3-way + sub active. Make it easily controlled from the seat. Don't make the crossover point/slope/filter type too restrictive.

Don't get too caught up in worrying about power. It takes a large difference in power to make even a small audible difference.

You are severely misinformed. Oh, and Buwalda and Eldridge both use JL HD amps in their SQ systems. That's just off hand, and they are 2 of the most prolific and well-known SQ builders in car audio....using class D amps.

How many layers of 'glass do I need to lay down on a 2' x 3' work piece before I can remove it from the mold, add another few layers and not have to worry about warpage? I was thinking 3 ?

AC went out last week. Had a place come out and fix it. Get home today and it's 78 in the house, the fan is on but the air is luke warm. FUCK.

One if the bills we get at work is like that. Can't remember but I think it's for the trash. It'll even show on the bill that the due date is like 6/15 and the date of the bill is 6/25 and we'll receive it on 7/3. Why in the hell are you sending a bill 10 days after it's due?

Lady at work has plugged the toilet twice and left it so I've had to plunge it when I go in to urinate. Give me a damn break, you are a grown adult and you know what a flushing toilet sounds like. If you've clearly plugged it, plunge your own shit...literally

I pay $40 - $50 at Kohls or Penney's for my dress shoes and wear them for 5 years.

There is no such thing as an "SQ amp". It won't sound any cleaner or better than any other amplifier of the same power. That said the Arc amplifier is fine if it fits your space, budget and power constraints. As lithium said if we knew your budget and actual size limitations there are probably other amps that you could consider as well.

The power handling rating of the sub has absolutely nothing to do with how "accurate" the sub is.

Incline bench my tri's felt fine. Dips my tri's felt fine. Skullcrushers with the EZ bar....holy fucksticks. They've felt a little tight since Mon, nothing too serious. Today doing those Skullcrushers after about 4 reps, even on reduced weight, they felt like they were going to tear apart into a million pieces. So tight and tense I swear I could feel every fiber of the muscle.

I get US Chemical resin from our local NAPA and don't have any complaints. But everyone has great things to say about the US Composite stuff, so maybe next time I'll look into them a little more closely. I'm surprised with as popular as US composite is that their website is still from 1995

No Was working on 'glassing the doors again but ran out of materials. My dad can buy them for me at a discount but that won't be until this weekend. So I wait.
