    If it is crossed low and doesn't excite your room it would be fine. Not ideal, but possible

    I only have a tape of it though, perhaps I will have to dig out the tape player and digitize it.

    Funny though, the recording was digital...but digital vinyl. Perhaps not a boot now that my brain is part way functioning.

    http://www.amazon.com/Digital-At-Montreux-...2598&sr=8-1 ? 1981, wrong cast. But you have me listening to that one now Except I guess only seconds of each song.

    IMO, unless you beat the piss out of your car the price performance of GTX is hard to beat. Personally even if I use synth in a car I change it so often that the benefits over normal oil in good condition is non-existent. Castrol takes more abuse than most and the only real advantage of synth is that it doesn't breakdown and lose lubrication. Well if you don't let normal oil breakdown, who the fuck cares whether it is synth or not. The caveat of course is if I have a really expensive engine. IE the M5 gets synth as the extra cost in this case gives me piece of mind, which of course is contrary to my statement above but the last thing I want to have happen is for me to drive that thing hot with crapped out oil in it. And considering everytime I drive her it is hard it seems worthwhile. and some cars, like my mini, require a syn, or warranty void. part of the reason is the car is step up to recommend oil changes every 12k or so, dependiong upon driving. and that syn has to meet mini standards, or of course be castrol syn, which is what came in the car. for my truck and motorcycle, they both get syn blend. the truck has an oil change countdown, the bike gets it every 5k, per factory rec, for now. by running a true syn, or syn blend, i know i'm not hurting the engine by going past 3k, which according to a mechanic friend was a joke anyway. by i'll sink a little extra into each oil change just to be safe. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I would argue that syn-blends are a waste. The petroleum portion can still break down which is the problem with non-synth oils. I'd save the money and just use Castrol GTX or step up and use the full synth. you think? i bought syn blends on the thought that the syn portion, and it's bonding properties, would help in case of the petroleum part breaking down. also, after talking to my mechanic friend and his notion, well researched notion on his part, that the "breakdown" of petroleum based oils is mostly myth in street driven, normal drivers, that was something i needn't worry about. i don't autocross or anything that would actually lead to a breakdown. even with the offroad play in my truck, it not often enough, nor rough enough (my vehicles don't live near redline evey time i play) to actually worry about it. seems like it's more marketing, or geared to those who abuse, then anything. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee It breaks down from day one, cheaper oils don't even require high heat for this to happen. I don't see any value in the extra dough. All or nothing.

    The album that made me realize that Jazz was more important in my life than other music was a trumpeter, Dizzy G. Live at Montreux. I just searched and can't find the album for sale for you as I think what I have is a boot, but I will peak again later.

    Just hearing you say you were listening to it makes me dance a bit inside.

    True as well, regularly happens. I guess when I managed to miss at least 30% of my classes that is probably expected.

    I'm hoping that means 'dominated'.... Yes sir it does. that's good you think of it that way, because to other people it means a blowjob. I thought of tongues when I read it as well.

    At home? Massive low tuned if you have the space. *assumes this is for HT

    sweat pea, that always helps in engine negotiations.
  15. Thanks that helps me a lot... now someone told me that i should set my LHP around the same Hz as my box. What would that do? nope they were probably talking about your ssf (subsonic filter- this ensures that you dont kill ur sub with freq below port tuning) like he said set your lpf..low pass filter to somewhere blow 100hz i set mine around 100 since you your sub to play bass in its range a sub's normally 20 - 100 , its all preference set it to where your music's enjoyable..btw ..do you knw how to set ur gains ?? Yea ive been reading a lot of different things about the gains, but what do u say about it, and some people been tellin me that the HPF Should be set as low as it go which is around 20Hz because that puts words playin through the sub, but some people on here say to set it around 28 - 30 Hz. What could u tell me about that. Those people don't know their highpass from their lowpass. your subsonic filter is a highpass, then there is a separate lowpass crossover on the amp. if you have that lowpass off or set too high (higher than a few hundred hz), then you'll hear voices through the sub. The subsonic should be set to 25-30 hz. Nobody I know can sing at 25 hz, ha. The Mongols have throat singers that actually can sing in the 20-25Hz range. A few other cultures have developed similar techniques, but it is not an easy thing to train ones voice to be able to reproduce those notes. It would tear your voicebox up if you knew how.

    They are horny old men...they just wanna look at the goodies! I've been called a lot of things, I think that is the first time I've been called a horny old man though.... truth hurts, huh?!?

    You better because I'll be watching That was a pretty impressive whore you guys did, not sure how many were involved Would have been ALOT more pages, but my GF was bitchin about it. Just tell her to shush, you're on a forum... Or give her something else to do with her mouth.

    I could never work in the food industry either. I could and did, but it was behind the bar.
  22. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    And if synth is out, then Castrol
  23. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Lucas with a bottle of GM LSD additive, it's what I put in the Camaro RP isn't worth the price It was my understanding that Lucas wasn't really a good lubricant and shouldn't be used. If RP is too much, I'd just do the Mobil Synth
  24. Definitely some math, 2nd grade math but math nonetheless. I am curious as to who is going to build your box if you cannot figure out how to measure the volume of your trunk.
  25. Then I will repeat in a slightly different way. I have an issue with bass boost existing and it should NEVER be used. EQ work should always be done in cuts, not boosts.
