    SiN exploding wtf is SiN? Soundillusions.net. Also Carstereos.org (CSO), they had to change the name. But now it's back to Sin Didn't know it was back up

    What's the cheepest I could go to get a sled that would be fun to ride? Where do you ride? A 2001 Polaris Edge Chassis would be my rec'd. Probably a bit under $2k. Anything older and your back will hate you.

    There are a ton of theories and this is classic media. You can "confirm" what you like many different ways. There is one super truth though, the time we have been recording temperature is inconsequential. In the grand scheme of the Earth the subset of 150yrs is a fucking joke. You can also severely question the locations where these temperature measurement devices are. You know what the effects of putting a lot of cement in an area with seasons does? That's right it tempers everything. Now go measure there and come up with a yearly average, guess what its higher. Hmm. It is far from scientific and purely political. Political regularly equals lies. H1N1, Global Warming, Economic Stimulus all fucking shit.
  7. Would I lose any sound quality by doing this? When I tried that, something felt out of balanced, or missing..Imagination? IMO, Fading to the front should help your SQ. You want the image in front of you and the rear to be there but just barely audible. It's not rear sound stage. In that regard my favorite set of rears is one that isn't there at all. No rears at all FTMFW! True, but I drive a Yukon XL. People in the back appreciate me being able to fade something other than 2 15" woofers their way. I keep it faded to the front riding solo. Only because your front stage doesn't integrate right with your sub. Size of vehicle doesn't matter, but not having enough front stage does. Your other option would be to just turn your sub down, which for SQ (your comment above) will be better for sure.
  8. Depends on the conditions of "when & how". As requested already some more details of what your typical use will be would help a ton. For instance if it is all at idle, an HO or 2 might not at all be the right choice. Curious as to how you set your gains as well, not that it caused your trouble directly.

    Its that way in Germany and really easy to pass there.
  11. The manual should state whether the sub output fades...
  12. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    We don't see those much around here.
  13. ///M5 replied to jcarter1885's topic in Off Topic
    And they are always in the fucking passing lane going 10 under. FUCK YOU BITCHES.
  14. That is all that it should do. *I have no experience with the 9885, the manual will confirm

    Actually as I stated in the other thread, I flat out HATE driving without one and use one 100% of the time. The detector helps me be more attentive which does make me a better driver. All other logic aside it is most definitely the case. Common sense rant: Let's make it fucking illegal to drive in the passing lane if you aren't passing and at the same time make it illegal to pass in the right lane. Dipshits driving slow in the left lane cause more of a mess than even a dipshit with a detector driving too fast.

    What frequencies did it lower the output on and how did you measure it? i believe the 30 +/- to 50 +/- hz. range if i had to guess by ear, and that is all that i had to go by, was my ear. there was no loudness to it what so ever. i was not even the least bit motivated to test very long at all. i tried a few tracks, checked my settings, tried one more time and said forget it. the lows were better, and part of the problem could of very well been that i had just left Louisville the day before, Shizzzon's ride might have still had my ears ringing, i don't think it was that though. I asked because of course the Polyfill will make the box "think" its larger. Your answer of "fail" isn't so appropriate either as it only failed in your application and I don't want others reading your thread to get the wrong idea. Of course using it in a ported box isn't straightforward and generally should be avoided unless you are ready to do a lot of experimenting.
  17. If the 9885 has a sub output it shouldn't.

    get ready for a few days of hell I was out for 5 days. 10 hours of sleep each day. I usually only need ~6. My wife was hit so bad it agrivated an injury and she was asked to do an MRI. My wife doesn't do MRI's. I've never seen her have a fear based attack berfore, I felt helpless. I can deal with being sick, I can't deal with being helpless. And if I give it to my son I will fucking want to kill something I hope so too. Kids are actually dealing with h1n1 better than the regular flu I hear. Either way if you had the normal flu or otherwise i hope he doesn't get it too. Speaking of, whatever happened to that? I haven't heard anything about the swine flu in like a month. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Imagine that, another fucking political escapade thrown out by the left to promote National Healthcare. Fucking joke as it is milder than any normal flu. Can't say its been a pleasant week, but it isn't national news that I am sick.

    actually she is so hot even with no money it would be saweet

    global warming yo! Same as that snow storm in mexico my buddy told me he say a few years ago. Considering global warming is actually cooling it makes sense. Just bass ackwards political nonsense that has it flipped My dad told me he heard/read something about some hackers that hacked into some big global warming database in England and found out that the global warming movement is a farce. Scientists in the big research study are just reporting what the politicals/money inputs are telling them to, which is that the globe is warming, and are ignoring or not reporting most of the data which proves otherwise. But I have no link to this story. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2009/11/24/john-lott-climate-change-emails-copenhagen/ And even before this it was obviously not real. Completely made up right from the get go. It was good to bring "green awareness" but the lie went way too far. Fucking bullshit that it isn't being called out more. Instead we get to hear about who Tiger Woods plopped his pitching wedge into. I could give a fuck less about a damn golfer, although I'd take his bride if she gets $300M.

    body of water would have been better
  22. Fade forward and then I'd be the rears don't distort as early.

    I am an attentive driver, but I am more attentive if I am speeding or stretching the law in any other way. So what happens when I am not? I tend to spend more time on the phone, might be looking things up in the GPS, changing the radio stations etc. While I'll be the first to admit this isn't good period, considering this is a car audio forum I bet playing with music is pretty commonplace on here. So that being said, I am most attentive when I "need" my radar detector most. Does this mean the detector makes me a better driver, not directly but I am a better driver while I am using it for its intended purpose. I will also say that even when I am distracted by doing other things having it go off will cause me to re-focus on the task at hand and improve my attentiveness.

    I wouldn't mind some snow, my snowmobile is in the garage. As soon as I am not sick I'd like to ride it.
