    What if they just cut it? That portion is in the hull so they'd be hard pressed to see it. From the top it looks just like any other snap.
  2. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    I've seen those that are much smaller, MUCH
  3. Center channel implies processing. And mono isn't processing. Same with rears though.

    That used to just be the lightning creek.

    This is interesting. http://www.poseidonalarms.com/modules/store/Canvas-Snap-Sensor_P139832C9736.cfm And really exactly what I'd like to trigger something, when someone pulls the canvas, BAM!

    It doesn't have a name yet.

    Drank my fair share of MD in high school as well, but that was a LONG time ago.

  11. So for my needs would you suggest the SDC or 187? Reason I dont want the Dcon is I heard the "lower mid bass" isnt that great on it. My setup is 5.25 components and a sub. The rears will stay stock and probably be turned down. So with those speakers, im expecting the midbass to be pretty weak, if any at all. Hence the higher filter setting. I just want something that sounds good, or better than the avg. stock system. I'm not looking for an insane SQ system or an SPL system. I just want to upgrade my car's system and have something that will work well with both rock and rap. Keep in mind I'm limited on cost, my budget for the whole system is 600 and I only have 300 to spend on a sub/amp. The SDC doesn't make any sense for your application IMO, exactly the opposite of what you want. As for the 187 or Dcon, curious why/where you heard that the Dcon had an issue with lower mid-bass and do remember that EVERYTHING is install and enclosure dependent.

    And it also had the highest humidity on the globe at 87.5 or something absurd. Did I mention that is my hometown? Lol.
  13. Spl enclosures are tuned higher, and tend to be smaller to increase power handling. What if you don't need to increase power handling? Are you sure that always increases your output? I stopped with just a generic definition for a reason. There are no "rules of thumb" that really work otherwise. The real answer for the OP is to do some reading to actually understand enclosures and ask questions about details he doesn't follow in what he reads.
  14. Actually it is a pretty logical compromise. Using a sub to play the lower midbass is a lot more cost efficient than building a monster front stage. The disadvantage though is that you will give up staging as it will pull sound backgrounds, but you reference rears so that is already a problem. Don't think you are into an SQ setup by your posts, but no matter the alignment I'd encourage you to not focus on anything too peaky.
  15. Pretty simple. Generically speaking, SPL enclosures are designed to have the biggest peak in the response possible which of course is the loudest note, while SQ enclosures are typically designed to have all notes play equally as loud. They are dire opposites.

    I lol'd, but the women currently gabbering in my house didn't
  17. You "can" but the power distribution will be uneven and not controllable. You could manually pad the ones that are too bright, but that too will change the response of the full circuit. It is really advisable like everyone else has said to have a dedicated channel for each type of speaker. If you "have to" and "can only run that amp", considering your obvious lack of stage you could split them up and run mono. Just have to buy enough of each so that they will load the amps to their impedance in the right range. Then you'd keep level setting but lose all semblance of stereo, but I don't really expect you'll have much anyways. Not really something I'd recommend, but it is an option.

    Good luck!
  19. Respectable mistake, but it wouldn't be the other way around.

    I always send mine from Yahoo, but of course my yahoo account is: [email protected] What I wouldn't do is send it from an account like: [email protected]

    Lake named after the cactus. Part of the CO river system. Saguaro? J Sounds right
  23. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    I'm impressed

    A few more cooks and everytime you open the egg you'll be happy, even when there is no fire. Smells fantastic.
