  1. Like Tirefryr said, a monoblock is a single channel amplifier. Class D is an amplifier topology where the output devices are switched between full on and off states, hence why some people (incorrectly) refer to them as "digital" amps.
  2. Not all monoblocks are Class D, and not all Class D amps are monoblocks...they're two different things.

    There's been a couple scripts to do it, but as soon as CL finds out they're gone.
  4. This is why you don't build a wall unless you know what's involved in a proper build... http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/loca...aralyze01e.html I know there's been a lot more cases than just this, but I got this link from another board I'm on today...with some of the posts I've seen here, it couldn't hurt...

    For that vehicle, I don't have a lot of experience with unibodies so I can't help you much. I'd just start pulling carpet and see if there's any channels or places you can fit it.
  6. I didn't say that... I haven't heard any of the new AA products, so I can't compare it to the Q. I meant that between the Q and the SSD, you have two very good "reference" speakers...so the Arsenal would probably compare to those.
  7. Either the Q or the SSD, I don't think it's really worth anything to try to compare it directly...
  8. I'd go sealed. Unless you're driving a cave they'll be plenty of output.

    Headroom is a good thing....so is having extra channels to run active

    Anyone have any cheap computer parts sitting around? Before I buy anything I want to see if I can get this spare machine I have going...I need two IDE ribbon cables, some 512MB PC133 RAM chips, and maybe a small IDE HD, like a 10G or 20G just in case the 40 I have here is bad.
  11. I'm amazed how "conditioner" comes out right yet "lapp" doesn't I thought Soundstream couldn't find their own asses with the help of a map?

    I thought I was wordy in posts...I got nothin' on this guy: (on the role of subjectivity and objectivity in audio) http://audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?...mp;postcount=66 I surrender!
  13. JimJ replied to Roddy's topic in Subwoofers / Speakers
    In my experience amplifier efficiency and better-sounding results tend to go in opposite directions
  14. If only motor size was an indicator of a sub's performance...

    What's wrong with Class A/B?
  16. JimJ replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    New layout? I can't tell a difference if it changed...if you're talking about the new default skin that can be changed to one of the other ones.
  17. They'll work, but often times it's a PITA to make any adjustments, and some won't let you do everything.
  18. I'm curious to know what turned you off to the W6v2's sound, throw the pricetag out the window for the moment. I'd love to make a recommendation for a Fi Q, SI BM, or one of two dozen other higher-tier speakers, but I want to know what you're hearing first. Otherwise we could be barking up the wrong tree... Just trying to save you money and time spent experimenting

    Might have found a deal on a computer...I'd call it an HTPC but I don't have the "HT" part of that
  20. JimJ replied to ZUaudio's topic in General Audio
    Figuring how out something will affect an SPL score is a pretty complex task...anything that lowers a panel's resonance or obstructs airflow could change it...who knows until you get on the meter. It could be that the box's resonance is reinforcing the rear wave in just such a way to contribute to a higher score. Same thing happens with adding sound deadener - sometimes you see a gain, sometimes you don't.
  21. I'm sure he could get one, at full retail
  22. No Vanadium?
  23. MECP certification and install ability have absolutely nothing to do with each other

    Sounds like the BL would be perfect.
