    I'm here to play the devil's advocate and correct cnn's blatant disregard for the whole picture, yes blacks account for only half as many deaths by police than whites. But when you take into perspective that whites account for 63 % of the population vs blacks at a lowly 12%. So doing the math 1 in 160869 people were black vs 1 in 495000 were white. Now I've rounded down so these aren't exactly on point but you get the General idea. What does population percentage have to do with incarceration percentage? Cite the wrong stat much? You could also probably type cast the ones who have trouble in that situation by the crime they did too, but don't look at pertinent stats.Either way, the problem at hand is two things that both should be repaired. There is no reason to treat anyone poorly. EVER. I don't care what they did or whatever, just treatment is a right in this country. The other is the idiocy that leads to rioting. Those dipshits should be jailed/fined hard as that is completely unacceptable. I think he is trying to say that the percentage of white people are arrested in higher numbers because there are far more in the country to be arrested, but per say 10,000 people of each race, there are more black people arrested.There is no reason to treat people poorly but again, there are always people who think they are above the law and can get away with things because they wear a badge. I don't know why, but when a serious riot starts, police tend to back off and only arrest a fraction of the people involved, instead of taking the "shoot now, ask questions later" approach that has been storming the media lately. Let me explain cnn posted a statistic about the number of whites killed vs blacks, just doing the math is what I was doing.

  3. It'll never go away.Don't assume all resin stinks. This actually smells like licorice. working with it in my garage at night. Door closed to keep bugs out. Totally clear by morning. No smell in the house. I mean it'll never leave the truck lol. I used some stuff similar to that it doesnt smell bad but the smell def doesnt go away for a very long time. My mustangs interior still reaked of it after i pulled everything out months later.
  4. You're really not the only one, that's the current situation I'm in right now. I love to cook but I hate only cooking meals for me and I'm not super into left overs.
  5. Looks nice so far, but man on that front stage unless you have all of the equipment you should really rethink it.
  6. In most cases adding power hits a wall of diminishing returns, increasing the efficiency of your enclosure will yield more results than just throwing more power. Liken it to a track car, you don't just start off with adding 100 more HP, you adjust suspension, weight, tires, and finally when you have that dialed in you add more power. What you have is a solid foundation of equipment just build upon it. I would look into doing a ported box, I am surprised you only could get 3Ft^3 in a malibu, modify or spend some time really seeing what you can squeeze out size wise.
  7. I'm sorry, I read that in the reverse for some reason. What app are you using to play music from? I know in spotifiy under music settings you can enable compression making all of the quietest points as loud as the lowest (Iphone only IIRC). Also it depends on at what rate your music is encoded at, since mp3 compression works by removing things that are normally out of the human hearing range which can cut out a lot of low end. Another thing to check for in your headunit settings is gain or in unit compression, when using bluetooth I had to enable this to even out the vast differences of recording standards. Thats why always having a little more power on tap or gain room allows you to make up the difference. Sometimes the standard music app. Sometimes the djay app. All my music is 256kbps AAC (itunes automatically converts it during sync). Might burn a CD with .wavs to see if the conversion could be culprit. I use the 3.5mm phone jack. No bluetooth. Im using my factory radio (BMW), no major sound adjustment options other than bass (on +2) and treble (default). Why would I want to make the signal flat? I never play with EQs because even though some people like to make music sound a step better, those settings might not be the best for the upcoming song. Try enabling dynamic range compression (DRC), that usually helps out a lot.
  8. I'll give it a shot on flat. Not expecting miracles though lol. Correct, so if some gain and frequency response are lost for FM transmission purposes, why does so much bass get played through my sub? I understand sometimes "muddy" low quality music can produce that extra-bass effect, but honestly, it doesnt sound as if this was the case. I'm sorry, I read that in the reverse for some reason.

  9. To transmit music they typically compress the crap out of music, so you lose a lot of gain and frequency response. It would be likened to going from 96kb/s to 320 kb/s.
  10. 6 18s? Jesus how many cubes is your box? My 4 15s will use around 50 cubes when I finish her up.
  11. Scraping the coil will also cause readings like this
  12. I've worked every day for the last two and a half weeks so I haven't had much time. I started off by installing my spare 9887.
  13. They aren't made by Duracell, they are another rebranded Deka 9a31. There are many many of them out there that Deka makes, Napa, duracell, Superstart AGM,NGT Xtreme, Diehard Gold AGM, Duralast Platinum AGM, I could go on but I think you get my point.

    I've probably said this exact exact phrase a hundred times on here, if you have to ask you probably shouldn't be doing it.
  15. I will never go back to anything but my horns.
  16. If you pm me I can get you a copy...
  17. Sorry, Alpine F300. I can get it for about $65 instead of $200Tank of an amp , I love mine and I've had it for over 7 years and it's seen a lot of abuse. You can run it with only two channels populated and it will be fine.
  18. Really I wan't something custom machined ..Thanks for the help though! I was just curios if anybody knew somewhere that already might have the options I wanted made stocked,before I went through the trouble of drawing one up..Or ordering a custom made to order block from a machinist...Thanks, Michael Contact project db or toolmaker
  19. I don't know of any double din fully active hus. I would honestly find one you like and use a mini dsp.

    I heard he had something come up medically but I haven't seen anything new. I know people are still waiting for enclosures.
  21. Wish I had the money for new amps. But Damn that's one he'll of a deal
  22. Moved to the proper forum section.
  23. Still need to finish the baffle and the front of the wall. Lots of work to do, waiting on some bars from Steve mead, and need to order some random.bits
