Yep really. Comps pretty much need an amp.

Hey, I was there a few weeks ago

The rain delayed my plane nearly 3 hours in Boston.

Is there any fishing to be had in the rivers around the St. Croix park I'll be going to? Smallmouth, Muskie & Walleye. Great for the smallies though.

Hmm. You aren't completely wrong, the sub can count depending on your definition but generically speaking 2 way means 2 way + sub and so on. On an aside, there is no sub stage just a sub Have you played with phase yet? Perhaps you have some cancellation that could be addressed that way. I am a bit surprised that they fall off at 80hz. What slopes are you using? A bit more detail on your setup might help us trouble shoot things although you may be out of driver...but I still think there is some more hidden

3 total channels? 3 or 5. I probably "should" sell the PG M44 or zx475ti which would both do what you need. If I keep one it would be the ti

Those comps will sound terrible without an amplifier. Your idea of a 4chn with the rears going to the sub/s is perfect.

1) Videos are useless and can show you NOTHING 2) Don't ever type loud sound quality again and in particular never yell it. You don't know at all what it means. 3) Stop with the stupid threads. If you want to discuss the differences of the drivers fine, but make sure to put them in context and to not use terminology as the technique for context. Describe your needs and goals and be specific. 4) Lastly, before you make another thread read all the links in my signature.

Good book called "Understanding Exposure" as well. I can't think of the author and have Aidan on my lap so I'll let you google.

In the next 6 months I "should" be unloading nearly everything except the speakers themselves....that is if my heart can take it. The drivers will eventually end up in home stereo gear. My amps/headunits will be gone though as my next car will have some sort of factory integration and probably no sub. Hopefully I'll have space for a 3-way front stage and call that golden. If it is just a 2 way, I'll probably use an amp I have on hand but I'd prefer a more all in one solution.

you got to remember dc flow from plus to minus Only problem here is music is alternating current. If you have DC going to a driver, you have a cone stuck in one direction which = zero sound being produced. one problem there your kinda wrong it's switched dc not ac man big difference. it's switched buy a triggering voltage on the amplifier chip it self. you are right if you got a full blast of dc threw the chip your speaker will do just what you said = zero hertz. Which is AC. It is alternating, just in many cycles instead of at one cycle. wrong again alternating current power etc.. flow's in two direction's in a conductor there is the positive cycle and the negative cycle if the power never drops below plus or minus 0 volts it's d.c. if it goes negative then positive then it's ac. so what fine school did you get this load of crap from any ways. So what you're saying is that an amplifier puts DC out the positive lead to the sub, then switches and puts DC current out the negative lead to the sub to get the sub to move back in? Have you ever put an Oscope to an amplifier's output terminals and played a sine wave? The wave does go both above and below the 0 reference line. that would be ac that switches directions. but dc has a different signal pattern altogether saw square waves etc etc ... if seeing the sine wave on the o scope go below the zero mark when dc sine waves are used you have the meter set wrong. Just fyi, electrons always flow from the more negative to the positive. Your terminology is confusing. AC by default includes a frequency and DC is current flow in a constant direction. ie, there is no "signal pattern" in DC. There could be an outside source (switch) that forces the DC into a pattern but the DC cannot be described to have this pattern. When you say DC sine waves, you are confusing the situation as there is no such thing. DC by its nature is constant flow.

Nice. Much better to laugh at him compensating than to do anything else.

Any pics of the install? Curious how your baffle/deadening/sealing is.

going to Boston today as well

Here is a short blast of a few of the places I spent some time on before buying. Some are geared more towards learning than others, but all are pretty good resources. Hope it helps http://www.dpreview.com/ http://www.shortcourses.com/ http://www.cameralabs.com/ http://digital-photography-school.com/ http://paulgun.googlepages.com/dstress http://photonotes.org/articles/beginner-faq/ http://leongoodman.tripod.com/d70focus.html http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorial...eries/dof.shtml

3 total channels?

LEt me know if you have any amps you're getting rid of. I need something low power. How low?

Jeez, out of all people. Come on

Hmm, beware. If it is louder and you blew a coil before something was either wrong then or is now.

Best is subjective, perhaps letting us know what makes something the "best" for you would help. Also, don't post links without a description of what they are in the text above. Links with no header are seriously annoying.

Depends on what you consider an upgrade.

Stereo is out of the M, factory almost put back in. I need to buy two new kicks to finish though. Almost yanked the stereo out of the truck to "force" me to sell it Too hungover to bother.
