    Thank you. Nearly 26" in my yard

    TIme management maybe the answer? Always. I've taught a few classes on it, most people are terrible at it.

    That isn't a brisket, but a teeny part of one. I thought you were from Texas/
  5. Energy over time is the definition of power. There is one thing left about this statement that has yet to be explored, and it is the most obvious and explanatory fact that we can learn here: there's two kinds of power at hand here. Electrical, in mathematical terms P=iV (current x voltage) and mechanical, W=Force*d/t. Obviously at the flat end of the clipped curve the woofer just burns (no freq), as Nick was stating above. The electrical energy doesn't translate to mechanical energy ( force x distance ), but increases dissipation energy, as you stated above, iV/t, in electrical terms. Now if the voltage is capped, but the average power has increased (square wave integral vs sinal), where does that power come from? Taking V out of the energy dissipation, where V=IR, E=(I^2)R/t. At clip, the t remains constant over each cycle, but the current increases which dramatically effects heat dissipation which in turn raises R which also directly relates to energy dissipation. Point in case, clipping causes more heat. Period. Over long periods, ur effed. Two kinds of electrical power?? No. In AC it is just average power. Sine or square the wave is described appropriately by it. No. As stated above there's electrical force and mechanical force at play, which are very much interrelated when converting sinal electrical signals into mechanical sound waves. When you aren't creating movement with your output electrical power, the only place for the energy to go is to dissipate as heat, which happens to 99% of the electrical energy that goes into a woofer anyways. To anybody defending whether clipping is worse for your speaker than a normal sine I ask you this: Why would one want to make their speaker even less power efficient (on average) while generating more heat? It's the opposite of appropriate car audio practices. You need a waves class. The mechanical force is just what opposes the electrical and is inconsequential in the topic at hand. Look up average power before you respond and do the math calculating the difference in average power between a sine wave and a square wave and you will have your answer. The motion isn't all that important either. Think about what percentage of the power is actually converted into motion...and if you come up with a big number think again.

    The last full brisket I did was stuck on the plateau for more than 15 hours. Obviously some shit to break down in that motherfucker.

    Anytime.

    When I am at work I don't log into SSA. Damn IT takes screen shots when the system detects questionable sites. Conveniently for me I am my IT department. Also inconvenient. Convenient part is that I can vent while I do other mindless activities and multi-task
  9. Anywhere BUT the door. Water and crossovers are not a good match.
  10. Not sure on an 06, what size wire runs from the trunk batt to the jump posts underhood?
  11. 2009 Sweet, almost bought an 07 M but getting my w preggo for the 2nd time killed that. Do you have a ski pass? If so, great car for a bandpass.

    Poasts from a sushi restaurant. Effin hungry

    Just don't get it too hot and be patient you'll be fine.
  20. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Shouldn't use fake shit. Use real cream
  21. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Which one do you have? I keep thinking of buying one for cutting hot large pieces of flesh thinly.

  23. Almost any other jig is better than the stupid Jasper anyways. If you like accuracy it isn't the jig for you.

    Responded Neal. Some questions
