I would never use stacked crossovers. Every crossover has a phase and magnitude response. When you use both the signals sum. Summing two signals that are altered of course will increase the constructive and desconstructive interference. It can be really damaging to the response. It has the same effect of playing multiple drivers on the same frequencies. For clarity and quality this should be avoided as much as possible. This is exacerbated in a car due to all the nasty reflecting planes. It is bad enough to have to drive a driver into the comb filtering domain, but then adding another or further interference in the crossover is terrible. The other aspect of this of course is that in general passive car audio crossovers are made with uber cheap components and designed for an "average" install. This is somewhat absurd since there is no such thing as an install that is exactly like another. This means that the passive crossover was never a good choice for any vehicle ever to begin with. If you want to use a passive crossover and have it really work you should design the passive crossover using in situ measurements in the installed location. Anything else is EASILY surpassed with even a simple processor like a miniDSP. Last comment on active processors. I would avoid any ones with analog front ends. Turning a knob to dial in the frequency response or eq was fine in 1985, but today it is absurdly inaccurate and makes no sense whatsoever. I would always prefer to have control from the drivers seat as well. The more you can adapt as you sit in the listening location of the car the better.

Thrashing on a Camry. Interesting.

Wait, wha?

Magnetic shocks are the bomb. I am really HOPING that Polaris releases them for the snowmobiles for next year. On handlebar adjustment for terrain would be fucking sweet.

I use a miniDSP for my front stage and the Kenwood DDX9903 headunit for the sub. Means I only have a crossover for the sub and no eq, but I am running sealed anyways and have it pretty gained down as even with a beefy 7" mid blending the midbass is the limitation.

1700mi on the season though...but too much trailer time.

Still have a foot in my yard. Too bad that the trails in the metro area aren't all in the woods.

Supposed to snow tonight though into the morning. A whopping inch

You could. Hot enough the snow is melting.

The recording quality of it is however terrible in that link. Holy hell. No problems getting it into reference levels here at my desk with ONLY 1 - 4" full ranger on each side and a small 10" sub...

Glad to see you log back on The damnit was you have tons of potential, but if you kick yourself in the nuts you won't realize it. I want better for you. Not saying the bitch wasn't a dumb cunt, but reserving comments in the anguish of nonsense is usually better.

Holy fuck. Just the smell of Apple Jacks makes me want to puke. My kids feel the same.

I've had maybe 2 bowls of cereal in the past year. One of them was frosted mini-wheats.

I didn't choose user friendly...mine requires a PC. Of course, I used to have a PC in my car so then it was user friendly. I am also rather okay with setting it up and not adjusting. I don't make my tune such that it colors the sound much and while different recordings aren't all great the onboard eq is enough for those changes. I bought a Kenwood...but this is over a year ago. The reason I bought the Kenwood is that I have 3000 albums that I've ripped to a hard drive and no one else could index them and play off of it. Last year they also had the fastest processor, boot time, and least lag. Lag is the thing that drives me nuts. Smooth Android Auto integration as well. Not sure what I'd buy today, but if nothing changed I am happy with what I have.

cheekie monkey

There have been cycles like this my whole life. Usually corresponding to more winter toys = less winter.

4 years ago there were nearly 3 months straight you could ride any day.

I'd love to take you out, but we need a god damn year where it isn't only when snownami comes.

Conditions were terrible as well. I made the best of it. Had to quickly run to the farm Sunday morning to grab my other sled since mine is limping. Figure better to ride now and fix later. Sad part is, metro riding was good for 1 day this year.

I gave up and separated the crossovers from the headunit. Wish I didn't have to but a year ago the operating systems in all the active ones were slow and Crap.

I put nearly 200mi on my poo today

My cable bill is $20

Rotten?

We have another 10" on top of that. Need double that for the trails to be nice...and it is going to be 40 all week.

Wait, wha?
