    Just killing time before my last class, then, hmmm

    I haven't gotten one piece of homework this semester yet. Won't for the rest of it either.
  3. That's how the big Altec Voice of the Theater cabinets were used, three set up behind the screen...sure, the screen attenuated the treble somewhat, but when the horns are 113-115dB/W sensitive anyway, it's acting like a big EQ
  4. Maybe for someone who really can't stand looking at speakers, but... There are a lot of good speaker designs that require distance from walls. Putting the speakers in the walls also kills any chance of easily adjusting toe-in, although you could experiment and then finalize it. Besides, what's wrong at looking at speakers in the first place?
  5. "Keeping up with the bass" is a horrible criteria for choosing speakers, IMO. You can get a bunch of $1.44 piezo tweets that'll "keep up" with the bass, but the question is will it be something you'd want to listen to? Chances are...no. And very efficient speakers in a vehicle aren't going to go together, save for horns. Most of those high efficiency speakers you're seeing are either lying or require huge boxes that you aren't going to fit in a door.

    It's missing the CB antenna/Rebel flag holder. Let me get my drill, I'll fix that.

    Hmmm...do I go out now and get ink cartridges, or just wait until tomorrow morning and do it before class... Yeah. Sleepytime.

    In a wall... "Soundz gud tho!!!11!" *pukes*
  9. I'd prefer the two sealed, but that's just me.
  10. So that means your front stage isn't doing its job
  11. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    I love it.
  12. A TC9 motor with cooling channels would be a pretty funny proposition
  13. An Alpine 9835 or Pio 880 PRS comes to mind, gives you plenty of active crossover capability, and since you already have a 4-channel you're all set on the amplification side of things. Or maybe something newer, I'm not very familiar with the model #'s though...

    Nah...just ask pimpedout for help on the kickpanels, if he's making a removeable wall surely kickpanels are doable too
  15. Because I'd rather buy a used, vintage amp that has vastly better build quality than a low level consumer product like that.

    oh well, back to teh apartment, might actually be productive for a couple hours...
  17. I feel exactly the same way It's so nice actually having a soundstage again
  18. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Ramos is here, yet silent...

    realizing the exam you thought was on thursday is actually in two weeks = excellent realizing you missed the last two classes because you were off a week in the schedule, and have no idea what half the test is going to be on = not so good thank god for PDF's

    Dave's gotta have a 220 somewhere... Now 480 3-phase might be a little harder to come by...
  21. JimJ replied to visitor's topic in General Fi
    I guess.
  22. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    wewt As long as I can drag you away from that for a few minutes and have some Jedi router action...
  23. Fiberglassed spare tire well?
  24. There are plenty of other woofers that will go up to 1K or so...but the MAW-10 isn't what you're looking for. Something like a B&C, Eminence Alpha or Dayton cast frame would do that, as well as be a lot easier to mate with a horn. Given the right (read: big) enclosure, you'd have plenty of midbass reaching down to the subbass depths with ease. I'd also advise against a horn tweet and compression midrange, might as well get a horn for everything 1K and above.
