No, because the PC is going to have a ton more flexibility than the head unit ever will, and I'm not really sure why you're keeping a head unit when you're going to be putting in a carPC...the whole idea is to replace the head unit with something else

I thought the choice of a TB was funny too I think that noise in the background is their bullshit generator

Whether or not ported would be better for you depends on the kind of music you listen to...

There are 1/8" stereo to RCA adapters Pretty cheap at PE or Guitar Center...

The Creative Audigy 2NX I'm looking at right now does it

A good sound card will give you sub/front/rear outputs.

Nope.

I can get it to work, it's just trying to find a configuration that does what I want it to do is tough What I'd really like to do is talk to someone who knows how to use touch screen drivers and such, find a touch-capable monitor and do something like this: http://www.sooloos.com/www/index.html

Oops, I would, yeah

I'd go with the cone area.

I agree. Although heck, if there's ever a 200GB Ipod Touch out there, that would make a pretty good source even for home use. Kind of like a Squeezebox, except I can make calls with it too

You can download something called Rockbox (might be spelled differently, not sure) that makes Ipods FLAC-capable. However, don't expect it to hold anywhere near as much as it did with MP3s - albums in FLAC generally are around 300MB per album.

woo woo woo woo

Could be they're just reporting crime more now.

Since Dave was curious: http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=cables&m=135616 Fuck it, I'm going to campus in a bit. Even since 2004, this place has been getting weird.

Why not put the woofers on top and the port going across the bottom, or vice versa?

Happy birthday Damn, I'm older than you?

It depends. The big advantages of kickpanels are that you can reduce path length differences between drivers (the distance between your ear and the speaker), and bring them closer to being on-axis than a door installation might. Why they might not be perfect for everyone is that some midbasses require more space than you might be able to get out of a kickpod, so infinite baffle mounting in the door is pretty much it. Or that in some cars, mounting the tweet in the kicks brings the soundstage too far down. But I've heard some vehicles where the stage was perfect in height with tweets down there, so it all depends... Ideally, if you're working with in-door mounting you can also seal up any big holes that might be in the panel - plexi or Lexan works well to cover up gaping holes that would kill midbass response, then you just deaden over that.

Spectrum can be easier to apply to irregular surfaces, mat goes on smoothly when you're dealing with large flat panels but in tight spots or oddly shaped areas you might find that spraying Spectrum is easier... They both have their uses

Heck, Dave's running an MS1000, Sundown 100.2, and Sundown 1500D off of one run of Kicker 1/0 from the battery in the front, but then again none of those amps are being taxed especially hard. I would start with a run of 1/0...

What would be great is to find a Foobar config that works just like Albumplayer, except without the annoying way Albumplayer fucks up tagging.

I'd lurk on Hydrogen Audio for a little bit...there's FofR's Fooblog, some of that stuff is pretty memory intensive though. Anything that runs off of PanelsUI is a resource hog I've found.

Interest? Sure, I'm interested, lack any money to seriously buy it

From the reviews that some of the members here are posting, I'd see no reason why not.
