Amazing how crappy stock panels are and how little constrained layer damping you need to make things way better. The next step is some MLV and then you'll really see some acoustic results!

Generically speaking if you compare an arbitrary sized enclosure with IB, the IB will kill; however, as with pretty much any driver if you have an optimal enclosure size the enclosed driver will win. Granted these drivers were designed for no enclosure so I wouldn't at all recommend it. If you do acquire the T/S from JL I would still expect you will have to try at least 3 different enclosures to really get them dialed in as your car will be far from an anechoic location. If you had bought diy drivers it would be much easier and then perhaps logical if you did everything right to use an enclosure, but considering your component choice I would highly recommend not doing it. Classic case here of if you need to ask the question you probably don't have a deep enough understanding of what to do to pull it off effectively. And yes, through threads and support here you could but you are a long ways from that right now.

And I know you don't need luck.

I have. Though I did not do it myself. Let's see if I can find a receipt here. I did them at different times. For one side it was 115.30 parts and 75 labor. $75 means it can't be too bad. Probably an hour. Good luck Ryan.

In the $10 category or nearish, I like the Domaine St Michelle, Extra Dry. Bang for the buck it is up there, but compared to the Roederer you'll want to pour it down the drain. On its own though it is definitely nice and more than necessary for Mimosa breakfasts.

This is more than adequate http://www.wine.com/V6/Roederer-Estate-Brut/wine/8498/detail.aspx?s=GoogleBase&cid=GoogleBase On sale regularly for $15.99 and I'd put it up there with $35-40 bottles There step up is nice, but once you approach Veuve pricing I think it wins.

Probably suck down 3 bottles of Roederer, two at least. Whores-day-oh-wave-rays and champagne. Sean are you "poppin' teh Cris'?" In the under $40 category nothing beats the Roederer IMO

Sweet. What roaster do you have?

And your h/u supports active. Use that 5 channel for its real purpose. If you are really going for SQ then the sub portion of that amp has plenty of power

An old school mod, not sure how that happened though. If you look at all his posts, there are rated with a plus one so it looks like he went through ranking himself or somebody else did (but I dont see why they would do that in one day). Those rankings add and delete from your supportive score when someone clicks on a + or -. collusion i tell you

An amp de-gain knob is the right tool for turning down your subs.

Hmm, doesn't seem like it on the Squeezebox, but I haven't listened to just web Pandora in a while. And no I don't pay shit monthly. I haven't noticed a decrease in sound quality. But the increase in ads on the free version sucks. Every 6-8 songs there's an ad, and any time you switch stations an ad plays first. You don't get that with the Squeezebox either. Accidentally left mine running all night and it was still playing this AM.

Well it's the French's fault, they shouldn't have spelled it so dumbly in the first place. My spelling is better anyways.

Indeed. 2 things came out of this thread. 1) Rusty received a warning. I won't tolerate someone pissing about the fact that we have noob guidelines and they should be followed 2) The thread is locked. The OP didn't heed our recommendations and read the guidelines nor follow them. He may start a new thread, but it better be on task or I'll remove it. This thread so far has done nothing but waste energy and space on the forum **OP, it surely isn't that we don't want to help you, but we do want to make sure that we help you in the right way. Unless you let us know how that is you will not get any useful help as it will be subjective crap unrelated to your goals. For instance, generically speaking I friggin' HATE Focals so you don't want my subjective opinion. You seem to have a boner for them, if we understood why we could recommend something similar. To find out though you are going to have to spend more time making a better thread. AFTER you search. I will expect your next thread to even include what you tried to search for... I look forward to reading it and helping.

And if your confused by my comments read it like another word that is phonetically jacked. Oh at my sisters house.

Almost as bad as the British Ruble

Considering the American Peso is worth jack shit I am not surprised.

Cyrillic fonts work

They do fun stuff with Rye. I am very interested in trying it.

I lived in Moscow, but visited Kiev and Leningrad & St Petersburg. Both how you ask? I was in Leningrad when they changed it "back"

Big mess is okay. Pretend I am a closet chef and will work for 3+ hours on one little meal...or make it simple. Doesn't matter. I am open. Keep the ideas coming
