    New hard drive for teh music computer showed up today. Wewts. Now I just need a damn 5V wall wart
  2. Not everyone's a basshead...
  3. JimJ replied to profundus-sanus's topic in Fi Products
    Simple solution...get another Q
  4. Sub layout would probably depend for me on how the amp rack/rest of the system was laid out...the only two Fi products that I'd consider personally would be the Q or SSD.
  5. That fuse is designed to keep the wire from melting in the event of a short. As long as it's properly sized for the wire, you don't have a problem. You could run a lower amperage fuse (assuming there's nothing else drawing power, there isn't a front stage amp?) but *never* a higher rated one...
  6. I'd say raise your budget for the amp. What have you done to the electrical system to support 3kW?

    Road trip...
  8. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Go away!

    A typo is one thing, we've all done those. Habitually missing the language is something else...

    you're going to be an EMT? Hopefully yes. Getting the Basic cert. isn't very useful, but regardless how my interviews go this fall I'm taking the class. I'd like to end up with higher level certifications, but we'll see.

    God dammit, it's I'M GOING TO. He posted build pictures of it. Shitty material, but it's not a prefab.
  12. Could always just build a rack...not that difficult.
  13. I thought it was a little oversimplified and generalized in places, but OK.
  14. JimJ replied to woodplock7's topic in General Fi
    You aren't "underpowering" them at all
  15. Not if you have the right equipment...
  16. At least any Lanzar other than an older Optidrive. Check your other thread, we'll get you help there.
  17. For a subwoofer line, PVC generally isn't very practical. "Port" lengths are too long, so unless you're considering a 14-foot high straight pipe like Nelson Pass used I'd go the slot route. Although few things are as visually (and sonically) impressive as a sub pipe that's over two times as tall as you and is flat to 13Hz :drools: If you're even thinking about a TL, http://www.t-linespeakers.org and Martin King's http://www.quarter-wave.com are both required reading.
  18. What's your budget? They mean the same thing.
  19. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    I remembered you did that, I might be asking for advice when I start EMT-B in September
  20. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    It'll buff out. Nice pants BTW.
  21. Polyfill works as the stuffing, how much you use is determined by your ears and what design you use...it's one of those things that you need to build, stuff, listen, adjust, re-stuff as needed.
  22. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Interesting stuff...in no way affordable, but maybe there's a future market... http://www.tapeproject.com/
  23. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Pictures look fine, maybe a bit overexposed but stopping down should take care of that...
  24. JimJ replied to kyle7560's topic in Fi Technical
    I've heard that before, and I'm really curious to know why they specify that...doesn't seem like anything would be stopping those woofers from going lower, unless they wanted to save themselves from a lot of warranty repairs from people getting stupid and trying to play 40Hz material through them with absolutely nothing done to the doors...
  25. JimJ replied to kyle7560's topic in Fi Technical
    I think you're looking at it the wrong way...you need to be concerned with the front stage going deep enough to allow a somewhat-smooth transition to the subs. Either of those sets would sound great given the proper install. Which takes time to do...
