  1. Pfft, that's been on the way out for years.

    I don't think the door handles look bad, but the name thing is a little tacky.
  3. The purpose of any amplifier is to make a smaller signal, larger. That's all it really is. I'm not sure how to answer your question specifically, I guess I would call a channel a single instance of an amplifier.

    What more do you want from a utility vehicle? The E-150 is nothing but a big box with an engine and two seats in it. I'm not going to ask for thrilling performance, because when I'm hauling plywood or moving stuff I'm not asking for a thrilling ride, I'm asking for utility. Literally, it is a point-A to point-B vehicle, and I have no demands beyond that. That's where the motorcycle would come in Sure, when I sat in Brooksie's H-D F-250, yes, I would have a very different set of expectations from that vehicle than a standard commercial vehicle, because that's trying to fit in a different market niche.
  5. "Lows" to me is anything infrasonic You won't think Jeezy is low if you listen to a setup that can play the fundamental of a 32' pipe on a pipe organ at reference levels

  7. SQ, there's no need to call it anything else. That's the problem I have with terms like "loud sound quality". SQ by itself can be very loud, saying "loud" is just redundant. The trick is whether or not that volume stays true to the performance I don't think just hearing words and maybe a synthesized hi-hat over a subbass line really counts as "LSQ", but that seems to be the usage for 99% of the people who use it.
  8. Quality is a tough term to define by itself...it's a murky soup of subjectivity and objectivity If there was a universal definition for SQ, SQ competition would have a lot less suspense, that's for sure
  9. It depends on the organization. MECA doesn't care about the overall SPL (maybe except as a tiebreak for RTA judging), but IASCA at least used to operate like you mentioned...the SPL score would be considered.

    I raped both tests this week, they needed lube.

    more to your liking?
  16. I bought some for my doors from Ebay. I'm sure you could find thicknesses up to 1" or so, may not be cheap.

    I love the style of the wheels, they're just too big.
  18. Ugh, it's one of those Well, in that case I'd recap anything that looks suspicious, but I'd keep in mind what it's worth in the first place. Definitely no film & foil caps

    I should probably do an oil change on the van when I'm home, it's about time for it, and I could put winter oil in it...need to do a full tuneup before 200k though. I can change plugs from inside the cab

    I like that wheel style, they're just too big. hit the fan? that obviously happened while I was not around. Long story...but his Scans in the kick do very well
  21. The JL amp is not a good choice given what you're looking for. I have a feeling you'll simply clip the hell out of it because you won't have enough unclipped power for your liking. Something like a ZX2500.1 is what you should be looking at.
  22. What do you mean by this? It's two hours, get some patience
  23. It depends on how hard you are with your equipment. Saying that everyone needs to upgrade their alternator and run multiple batteries for one is a fallacy, but some people are going to be more abusive to their stuff than others.
