Sax-100.4
Totally dependent on the speakers used...install it for maximum current draw in mind, you may not reach that, you might get close, but it doesn't really matter. I have a feeling I know what you're doing, though, and it's a ghetto idea...

The dam decison..........
I'd have to go with option #2 if this is anything but a dedicated competition vehicle, because I don't like the idea of walled-off vehicles on public roads day after day. I'd imagine it also depends on what classes you plan to compete in, as those two options will place you in very different levels of competition.

MLI-65 Mids
Helped a ton on the Fostex's too, they have a very similar basket design, with a very large motor as well.

Welcome to the IHoP
I liked it, although I thought There Will Be Blood was better...I could see why No Country got the Oscar, though. Which Crash do you mean, the one about race in LA or the one where it's basically non-stop nudity and car wrecks? I thought the former was trying way too hard to push its agenda on people, and I was just confused after the second

MLI-65 Mids
From what I've heard, they perform better as a dedicated midbass, or at least paired with a tweeter that extends lower. And that basket looks like a definite candidate for clay addition

Good news finally coming back to me
Gas-tube arc protection?The problem is, a lot of hard-wired protection solutions that last are pretty slow to react to surges. The ones that act fast don't last long and require frequent replacement. And against a power company that doesn't care about its customers or a direct lightning strike, I don't know of anything that's 100% effective But anything's better than nothing...and I've had some friends that have used stuff like that on their phone/data lines to good effect. Think about it this way..in five years, you couldn't pay people to move that TV

Mmm, Logans, I like What's providing the power?

Call to remaster Metallica's Death Magnetic
That's pathetic. I'm just wondering, is there a vinyl release of this and is it just as bad? In the meantime, thanks for saving my money and/or ratio on this one

getting bored. Want to switch sub
I like them better than the previous generation. Yeah, I'm not a fan of the cosmetics of the basket, but...unless you install it inverted, you'll never know However, if you're looking for more SPL (and it sounds like you are)...I'd be wary of the Mag. At least the one I tested didn't like abuse very much. Wasn't an issue for me, but if you're used to flogging the SX you might find the Mag isn't for you...

FORD CHEVY OR GMC?
Until someone shows up with a Tatra. Or hell, a 'Mog if we have a requirement of fitting into a parking space And these are both practical. Unimogs are... Theres a guy that drives one around in the city here, big friggin tires, big deck on it and a picker... I think he spend about half an hour at the gas station though. A 404 'Mog only has slightly more fuel capacity than the E-150 does

getting bored. Want to switch sub
don't get me wrong i really like my setup now.... i got a re sx. but i jus wanna see wut else there is What. Thanks If you're happy with an SX, I'd probably look into the MX or TC-3000 he's selling. The SDX's and O's are better suited for SQ... Or perhaps a Fi BL if you're buying new, or Mach 5 SPL sub...

What do you have now, and what don't you like about it?

My Future Set-up (I Hope)
In a passive crossover, it's pre-set, yes. I don't know what you're asking here, but yeah, most passive sets are 2-way There are a few 3-ways out there, but I wouldn't bother with them.

My Future Set-up (I Hope)
Not if it's set up properly Other than basic installation and maybe a tweeter attenuation selection, it's pre-set. Aiming is the big variable that's left.

Been in the news for a while now. The replacement is going up right next to it.

Advantages of TL and bandpass enclocures?
Depends on what style of line, how many folds, that sort of thing http://www.t-linespeakers.org Have fun

Welcome to the IHoP
Yeah, What.cd is hosed. So much for a backup server.

Advantages of TL and bandpass enclocures?
I'd never consider a transmission line where space may be a concern...they're not exactly small.

Clamping an amp?
Pretty much, yes. It's also used to determine your instantaneous impedance...once you've got current and voltage you can do all sorts of handy things with Ohm's Law
-
Clamping an amp?
It means using a true RMS clamp meter on the output, measuring current - which along with output voltage allows you to calculate power. You could also measure current drawn @ 12V, if you have a meter that's rated that high. Ideally, for testing amplifiers you want a power source that doesn't fluctuate, and a non-reactive load...the impedance the speaker presents to the amplifier changes with frequency.

Tampa Florida
Irrelevant to the discussion. Well, if someone listens to 90% Young Jeezy, I would say their idea of SQ is quite different from someone who listens to Coltrane That's why "goals" are a lot more concrete and less subjective than terms that may not mean the same thing to different people. It's good to see what you've done. But honestly...get over yourself. Respect doesn't require a large ego to get it

Welcome to the IHoP
What.cd decides to update their software during the middle of a freeleech... Whoops.
