///M5

Generically speaking, it only takes mass to block sound waves. Depending on what frequency and what energy will determine the amount. Lead sheeting is the most obvious tool for this, but MLV is a cheaper alternative which is why it is used. As for your SPL question, there are a ton of things that you can do to both the structure to either help or hurt as well as the acoustic space. No "rule of thumb" though as every application is specific.

But apparently not because m5 is telling everyone else otherwise... BTW m5, I just copied and pasted that link from my bookmarks page. Let's see, I can either copy and paste it or type out a synopsis... Let me think... You can go to hell. :ebeer: Certain cars come with 5.1 systems in them from the factory... but everyone says rear speakers make the whole system sound like shit... oh noes! What you people really don't understand is a case by case basis. You learn one thing and apply it to everything, which just isn't how it works... Maybe if you didn't think you were God of the car audio industry and actually think once in a while you might start to finally get it through your head what I am trying to tell you. But I guess I can't be that smart to challenge m5! Do you even know the reason that there are no rear speakers in concert halls? The reason that all the sound comes from the front? No need to get pissy and take this personal, not my fault you are a complete noob. As for myself, I am not a god, still learning. Lots to go. And the 5.1 systems in those cars was a MARKETING GIMIC. Answer the question, do you have ANY 5.1 recordings you listen to in your car? If not, why would you want a 5.1? How are you asking me about concert halls with fronts only when you promote rears? You also misjudge John's comment. He didn't say the headunit made the difference, but the processing in it. Perhaps you know of a "budget" headunit that has the processing power of the P9? Completely different beast. In this case that tuning potential is part of the install which I said the OP in the thread we are discussing needs to focus on and not waste his money on a headunit.

3.9, two B's in 4 years, Those two B's were in theory based math classes. Was VP and President of a volunteer organization that won highest awards in the organization, lead tech for transmission in my senior design project (rotating machinery anyone?) Member of the engineering honor society, recipient of an award only two people in the Mech engineering program recieved (the other guy did get an offer from Exxon), recipient of an award only 2 people in the Houston area received, etc... wtf else do you need??? A master's degree. Seriously. I ran into that problem when thinking about oil companies with my geology degree. Wouldn't even look at you really without one. Work experience is a valid alternative to a Masters, perhaps prefereed depending but I realize that its a bit of a catch 22. Guess I forgot to mention my work experience. Worked for over a year for a company where I worked in the Exxon refinery. and Worked an internship for a summer at Praxair and kept a part time job there until the following summer when I had to take classes. That would have been who I used as a reference. Applying for a job is a bit like poker, you have to stack the deck every way possible.

Hard to have a master's in an entry level position. Any one I was competing with didn't have a master's. Hell, they didn't have a double major either. The double major really has done nothing for me as no potential employer has even mentioned it. Hate to be the one to say this, but college does not make you ready for a job. Not even close. However, that is exactly why there are entry level positions. I've learned 10x what I did in college since I left 10 years ago and I went to a school that is usually ranked in the top 3 in the country. In fact the only thing I think college is truly useful for is teaching you how to learn which is invaluable in the real world. In this case you got screwed somehow. I bet the deck was stacked against you ahead of time whether it be an insiders child applied or what. Not worth getting upset at yourself or them for, it happens. instead just buckle up and shoot for other options. Bummer it happened that way though.

When I make shrimp, I either put them on the grill or in a pan on the stove and throw some butter, garlic seasoning and some pepper for seasoning and let them do some sauteeing in there (just depends if its a quick meal or a big dinner). I guess it also depends on your taste or preference too. Didn't read this, but want to clarify that fresh garlic is really the key in what I recommended. Garlic powder is an alternative but you have to use way less as it tastes synthetic. I only use powder in rubs actually.

Soak them in olive oil, a ton of garlic, and some kosher salt. Grill or broil until they are done. YUMMY.

we are fair in the giant marshmallow

2nd one from the front, driver's side Thanks, figured they counted differently than what I was used to. Time to pull the plug. all SBCs are odd numbers on the drivers side, even on the passengers, counting from the front if it hasn't been done, plugs/wires would probably be a good idea Hasn't been done, but being for sale it might just get one plug. Could be a mucky injector I suppose, haven't bothered to look or worry about it as it is pretty intermiddent. Hmm, mucky injector = time for an italian tune-up ? Italian tune up? Isn't that a rebuild?

Sorry Aaron

heart is somewhere around 170bpm right now

WHEEEEEEEEEEEW. He missed the FG.

33-31, 2minutes

yeah no doubt -1 points on my fantasy league We were up 30-7 in the 4th and now down 31-30 UGH

Fuck me, what the hell happened to our defense??

It is better for the resume to have undergrad and grad schools be in different states though. Perhaps in Texas this isn't the case as there is a tendency to be pro-Texan there more than other states, but in the long run well rounded and experience is more important.

Why do you wish that my friend? I just like ribbing you Texans, but I sure the hell wouldn't enjoy living there. Austin would be the only possible exception, but I'd really prefer not that either.

I really didn't have the time to sit and watch this whole game, but I have to.

Leave Texas

Craaaaaaaaaaap.

An internal reference. Probably bitten by the good ole boyz club.
