    Curious how those faitals that adrian picked up sound though

    Vertical array is better if you use full rangers. Realistically if you want that much output horns are your friend
  3. For about the same dough, I'd rather use one of these. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Cabelas-Advanced-Anglers-ProSport-II-On-Board-Marine-Battery-Chargers/734150.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch%2F%3FN%3D%26Ns%3DMIN_SALE_PRICE%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dbattery%2Bcharger%26Ntx%3Dmode%252Bmatchall%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26WTz_st%3D%26WTz_stype%3DSP%26form_state%3DsearchForm%26recordsPerPage%3D80%26search%3Dbattery%2Bcharger%26x%3D0%26y%3D0&Ntt=battery+charger&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products Great company to work with if you have any issues.

    Very common in Asia to use tea in a marinade or brine. One of my favorite fish recipes I do this with. Sweet/salt is what is necessary in a brine. The reason for the brine is to increase moisture and flavor, the buttermilk on the other hand is trigger enzyme action in the meat. In the middle east they combine the too and do a yogurt/buttermilk brine. No reason the tea wouldn't work, but basically it is a normal brine with some added flavoring.

    Not how it was prepared, but where it lived. That is the knock on it in general as it takes on its surroundings very strongly and is surely affected flavor wise. The cure? It is a very easily farm raised and sustainable fish. In the farm ponds the fish don't get "dirty"

    haha. I added my facebook account to mine and it automatically synced profile pics from fb to contacts, pretty nice if you ask me I has no facebook. Does the same for LinkedIn though which I do....and recommend HIGHLY. You don't want my FB like on your phone. People might get freaked out. What is LinkedIn another social sight? I'd call it more professional than social, but otherwise yep social networking pretty much.

    I must admit it is a fish I don't eat often, but of course anything that you can do with: walleye, northern, sunfish, tilipia, snapper etc will work with it. Have you had anything, seen anything anywhere that you like? *I'll answer your thread later, thought before I "kill" it I'd see how it develops.

    Or they could all eliminate their entry level stuff, use that money to increase production on their mid and high level lines and bring the prices down on the better gear, but we all know that would never happen. We all know that it costs about a dollar more to make that $400 subwoofer versus the $50 one and don't get me started on the smaller drivers and their minimalist materials. It is their OE stuff that went down that will hurt them. Small manufacturing lines for aftermarket aren't nearly as big of a deal to replace, rework, but major lines are.

    You can always use hot water or heat up a rock. No bag and the rocks are still under snow

    Well here is some interesting info that you will like Sean. I work with LE on doing oil analysis (at work) and found that Amsoil does not test like they claim, so what I did was try the LE oil and Mobile Oil in my truck and he comapred them to the Amsoil results. Now keep in mind I like the Amsoil filter because it does very well and will continue to use them. I do not have the specifics anymore, but found the Mobil One works every bit as well as the more expensive oils. The LE oil is very pricey and was not worth the extra money even with the discount. The key is keeping a clean filter reguardless of what oil you use. Link for LE. http://www.le-international.com/content.aspx?id=2 Interesting No idea on their filters, but can see how they could get that right.

    Hot tub/hot springs and drink LOTS of water. A specialist always helps. I was blessed today with a Perky payment today, wish I could share. Ha, wish you could to. Water I am doing, hot tub I don't have access to atm but if necessary will find one. We'll see what John says.

    No, think he went by Dr Durden here. Ant's first ban pretty much on DIYMA.
  15. The two ports aren't tuned equally. The ports are the same dimensions, which creates two different tuning frequencies since one chamber is half the volume of the other. The point is to have two separate tuning frequencies. Indeed, although without describing why this would be needed, ie to compensate for a certain range running out of excursion, it is a horribly stupid idea. Not that you were promoting it I will never understand the goals to do something different that has the most likely "benefit" of sounding worse and having less output. I do realize that an ideal ABC can have benefits, but seriously doubt that the guy requesting the box at all understands what they would be nor has he done the testing or modeling to realize that this is what he needs. Most people seriously fail at a simple ported, I find it funny that they then do something like this. Reminds me of the Isobaric push in the late 80's. First done for the right reason, copied for all the wrong. Super funny to me that this is still being done and with drivers and box spaces where it really brings nothing to the table.

    ie personal trainer, but with a serious background. Top that off he used to post here

    Not going to a doc, but to a muscle specialist. Going to get pummeled I think, but he is confident it will fix the problem.
  18. Actually it ALWAYS depends on what sort of music you really want it to reproduce and really how low those notes are. If you listen to ultra artificial shit then perhaps you can benefit from more lows, but if you don't 30Hz is unnecessarily low.

    Caveat of course being that modern oils are all pretty good.
  22. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    I personally wouldn't use Amsoil for anything. It never tests well. Normal Castrol is probably better and way cheaper, sure it'll break down faster but I'd rather change it then.
  23. It'll be the other way around. Expect output to go up when you tune higher. Tuning low is not for that reason. And all the low tuning recommendations I'd be very dubious of as they aren't usually based on fact.
  24. Shape doesn't change a box, slant the baffle and increase its size and you are golden.
  25. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Now THERE is a switch. Heard some of their larger drivers and was impressed. Could be a good solution for output fiends in a 2 way active setup. Curious to see what you think, big time!
