    Stand on one foot and count 1 one thousand... 2 one thousand....3 one thousa.... until the are happy you don't fall over, then they watch your eyes a bunch by making you stare at the end of their pen while the move it all over the place. Nothing very effective, BC i can pass that shit when I am fucked up out of my mind. Exactly why I asked

    How do they do that DUI test?

    Very possible the longest single thread on the net. I plead the fifth, I know nothing of what you speak.

    Up to 85mi. Taken two days off since I bought the bike and one was yesteraday. Should break 100mi by tonight though. A little hard considering Aidan is sick and needs to be held non-stop.

    I wouldn't think so unless it was destruction of property. Illegal to shoot any firearm in Hennepin County and that includes air guns.

    DUI? no duey, thank GOD. Just possession and paraphernalia. I got the second one dropped and the judge gave me double fines since it was my second time for the weed. How do you actually get caught?
  8. Mobile application for horns lead you to the ID's. If those don't fit your budget you will have to compromise, perhaps severely. Pro audio horns are usually WAY bigger and I don't see how you could fit any without completely gutting your car.
  9. If you aren't willing to spend hours tinkering that is by far your best solution.
  10. Yes, where they sound best. Are you wasting time? No, because unless you dial these in and really let us know what you like/don't like about them in a good installation it won't be so easy to recommend anything better. Active is NOT a simple, fast and easy process. Expect things to sound worse than your passive for weeks. There are too many knobs to turn and you need to turn them all. To start: Listen to the tweeters alone, play with aiming (for this 2.5k+ is fine, lower levels so you don't cause them to break up) Listen to the tweeters alone, play with frequency response Listen to the tweeters alone, play with phase Listen to the mids alone, play with frequency response Listen to the mids alone, play with phase Report what you find. The next step will be some t/a and to integrate the two together, but we need some info before helping with that. (ie frequencies for both and phasing for both) And really, expect this to take many hours not minutes. You have to take a lot of breaks as your ears will fatigue and you will learn and need time away from your car to understand what is happening. Realize also once you deaden, everything could change. It may not, but it may...

    Hey damnit, pretend I am stupid. What do I buy? Yes, I want spoonfeeding I'll ask questions as I use it.
  12. It isn't a trivial discussion, nor should it be summarized in one page. Do you some searching and ask questions and you'll get answers.
  13. With those settings I would HIGHLY suspect that the passives that came with them will make them sound WAY better. If you truly want to make these work active, or any other drivers I hope you are willing to spend a couple hours a day for the next few weeks fiddling. If not, I'd suggest going back to passive. The height might be okay, did you try multiple different heights? If I were mounting them on my pillars I would experiment with nearly every placement possible. I'd expect this to take weeks also. Generically speaking those tweeters are meant to be off axis. I'd start with them pointing at each other and work out from there. Shut off EVERYTHING else and just listen to the tweeters. Make sure you aren't stressing them, which by your crossover settings I'd bet you are as I doubt they can play as low as you ask.
  14. You can NEVER just look at one parameter and gain ANY insight on what a driver will do. Do NOT shop for drivers using one or two of the T/S. Either use them all, or just go by recommendations. All of the theoretical recommendations above are based on assumptions for the rest of the driver which no one knows anything about since you haven't told us what you are comparing. Always better to state your goals then ask a comparative question. The ONLY thing you should garner from an Xmax spec is the actual excursion the cone can mechanically deal with and this means nothing on its own for how loud it will be or for how the driver will sound.

    Locally you can get endurox at nutrition city if you want to support a small local place. I used to work there "back in the day". I think even places like REI and other stores of that nature might. It really has a huge following. Online? BB.com is my go to, I'm sure you can find it for less elsewhere. I just like that BB.com has decent prices almost always, and I can buy all my suplemets from them if I want to... Free shaker cups are nice too. Then I don't feel bad if I trash one. Bodybuilding.com - Endurox Endurox R4 - Recovery Drink On sale now! If you want to make a custom flavor blend check this place out. True Protein | High Quality Nutrition and Protein Supplements The easiest though is maybe the yogurt(or whey protein) & OJ mix. It has potasium, sugar, vitamin C(probably the best thing other than asprin for stopping the soreness in muscles), hydration, and proteins that are easy to digest fast. The only thing that might make it better is if OJ was all dextrose and not fruictose. You are in tune with your body it sounds like. That's rare and good. I'll snoop around and see if something is as well received as endurox. It's hard to beat though for availabilty, cost, performance, and credability. When I was working out hard I would just make sure right after I got done I took in 60+ grams of sugars that rated 100+ on the GI charts, and then 30 grams of protein with that, and another 30 grams 30 min later. Usually then a starchy meal after too. I home brewed most of my post work out shakes with either dextrose or tofuti 1000mg of vitamin C and whey protein. At the time I ate about 2 banana's(somtimes OJ instead) with a protein shake a day though and took a gram of vitamin C 2-3 times a day. It really kept off cramps and muscle soreness from lactic acid build up in hard worked muscles. Ask me anything about sport nutrition and I will do my best to help. Soo many scammers out there. I actually like the sound of the OJ, Yogurt, & Protein mix. Mostly because it seems more like real food. Really interested though in what is best for the body
  16. Then at least your insurance claim is higher.

    How do you train for a couple 100mi runs? Guess you ride... A LOT! lol My friend is doing the Texas 4000 this summer... How do you train for that?!? lol TEXAS 4000 RIDE: Jack Reynolds Friends Page TEXAS 4000 RIDE: Routes The route he's taking.... I was just curious. I think I could have done another 6-10 yesterday so 100 isn't out of the impossible. I've done 100 on a mt bike before as well, just never trained for anything but rode for fun. Exactly what I am doing now with the subset goal of trying to get in shape. Not the most efficient way to do it, but the most fun IMO.

    Forgot to add, in the Boston.

    There was a running marathon through Lawrence yesterday morning. As I was fishing I heard some people run by and one lady asked the guy where he was from, and he said Minnesota. My colleague just took 11th in his age group. Going to be pissed tomorrow as he thought he could win or take 2nd.

    No problem. If I know anything it's sports products and supliments. I've done 'em all. From home brew protein shakes to bajillion bucks for a bottle of pills type stuff. Cool. Where would you buy said Endurox? ... or protein powder etc. I have always been of the I eat natural shit direction and have absolutely no idea where/what/why supplements are used. Amusingly yesterday post ride I ate yogurt, a clif bar, an odwala bar, and banana smoothie and a crap ton of corned beef. My body sort of told me what to do. Today I ate a loaf of trailbread and some eggs for breakfast.

    In action: Although I may have Zinn build one so that longer crank arms will fit as well.

    Probably something like this:

    Of course the frame could be 3" taller and I'd still fit. It is almost too long in the top tube though so I am at my limit of stock sizes. I guess I am all legs. Most men are all upper body so they make bikes funny. If I keep riding, perhaps next year I'll have someone make me a custom frame. That'll look hilarious.

    How do you train for a couple 100mi runs? As for tires being too small, this looks that way too. Not sure why no one has anything bigger, obviously us little people are challenged. Had my brother ride it yesterday. He is basically the same height as me, but wouldn't even come close to getting on it until I dropped the seat a lot.
