I would like a DDD or triple because I have a big ass vertical hole. Using a 10" monitor in portrait atm. My biggest concern is usability and a GUI that doesn't look feel old. Navigation I do on my phone as well...but would prefer to be able to Android Auto it if possible. Other things I want: PowerAmp (once they add it to Android Auto), being able to FF, RWD and such both music on my phone and apps like Pandora. Preferably with the steering wheel. Have a backup camera for connecting the trailer and make bluetooth calls. The more control of my phone from the steering wheel the better. I've tried to watch demo's online and stopped in a few stores to play with them but most have no antennas, no USB connected and only offer the lower lines for demo. In other words pointless. I love and HATE car audio. Aargh.

Btw, it is not conventional to show damping across all frequencies as no structure resonates across all frequencies in a way that makes it measureable, but if you claim it works just as well as CLD then you should actually show what it is doing mechanically or at least use a self generating structure with a calibrated forcing function. Real units would be expected as well. Measurements of both structures before and after as well. It is REALLY easy to screw this test up and draw false conclusions. The loss function you show is also a misnomer as the word loss implies transmission/absorbance and not damping. Pretty unrelated; however, I can only imply what a scientist would from seeing the plots as there is no text describing the experiment actually done. I can tell though that it was done by someone who didn't understand the ramifications or results that they were testing.

Was wondering when your camera and audio gear popped up at the same time. I'm a sucker for both as well. Sick of fidgeting with the pc though. Sounds like Kenwood or Pio you are okay with? Nobody has shit in stock here and quite frankly I am too cheap to buy new so I will buy someone elses something, but wanted to narrow down my shopping. Thanks for the headsup!

That is frequency response chart, not a damping chart...to make matters worse the units are ridiculous. To be a good dampener it has to dampen, which is what you should measure. Again, I didn't say it had no use, but it isn't a good replacement for CLD. Don't try to force a different discussion,we were talking about the effectiveness of CLD vs Spectrum. Not some arbitrary unitless frequency response function.

It has other uses, but stinks as a dampener. Since you claim differently why don't you show us measurements. Pretty easy to measure damping and validate your statement.

it is pretty simple. Budget, space constraints and goals determine what you can/should do. Without that you might as well just pick at random.

Videos don't show you anything useful.

Eric, I see you sold your 8100NEX. Wondering what you replaced it with and how you like/don't like the difference. Contemplating pulling the car pc from my truck as I could use the PC elsewhere and it's original primary use is better served by my new laptop anyways. Wish I would have realized this when you were selling yours... Either way, really curious on your feedback.

Sexy

I don't think it was...I removed a link to something I never clicked on

samiches?

Spam?

and

NEVER EVER EVER EVER base ANYTHING car audio on videos, lol.

Why are you assuming. Ask. Your other assumption is wrong too. 6 so cheapos is not the way to go.

Can just drive the boat up and get close lol

Extender and BW on the 70D ought to have some reach.

4ga is more than fine, it has no relation to what Sundown marketing has spec'd for the amplifier wire input size.

Back to my question then.

All depends on what the word "system" means to him.

Should have seen Tonka yesterday. Were at least 80 boats moored in my bay. Binocular peepers dream.

And yes, anything is better than stock. I have nearly a thousand feet of monprice 18/4 wire run in the house.

Can you use a computer as a source? That and few measurements and the crossovers are easier to narrow down..

Yes, minidsp in my garage, lol
