Welcome to the land of education

I keep meaning to stop by their HQ as it is less than 2 miles from my old house.

Midrange? Seas, Scanspeak, Peerless, Dayton, Fostex...the list goes on. What processing do you have?

This is a good place to be.

Looks great. We do have a gallery you could host the pics in

It isn't really possible to single out the vlave and test it as it has to stay in place while all the processes continue to work around it. Expensive is relative and this is for an expense for a Fortune 500 company You need a doppler flow meter then, but they will be even more than the solution above.

What exactly are you trying to measure? Any way you could just do some calculations and get close or are there to many unknowns? We have a valve on a bypass pipe that we believe is leaking air by and we need a way to measure and see if any is getting by. I'm hoping to be able to measure it with out probing into the pipe Really don't know what you meant by restrictions Sean but it is about a 36" pipe and the only thing flowing through it is an ambient air sounds like you need a leak tester rather than a flow velocity measurer Amusingly the best leak detectors in the world use a flow transducer

You live in MN, no need for the Yeti...although I think from a resale perspective you might have that backwards, but definitely not for here. I know I don't NEED, but want... heh. I'm hoping to get very agressive and do a bit of down hill and go out went some. The guys who are trying to get me back in are all doing Insane drops and such. Yeti does have good resale... I was thinking more the specialized to the santa cruz. I want a do it all, because I live here, if I was elsewhere probably a much 303DH from yeti or some other free ride rig. Plus I'm a fat guy, I want as much travel as I can get. lol Travel makes you slow on our terrain though...

Heya!

Personally I wouldn't use two different crossovers, pick one or the other and stick with it. The 140 question will depend on the box and drivers, no one can really answer. Perhaps since you want two Mags, you should sell your amp and get a different one.

Probably 10k though.

If you are just looking for leaking (and EVERYTHING leaks), can you just apply pressurized air on one side in a known size of tank and then time how long it takes for a pressure drop? That will yield flow as well, albeit not nearly as accurate as building a flow meter like I described before.

Fourier work?

I agree with that. Earlier I said "Most people don't go to school from 8-5 like many jobs, your classes may not start till 9-10 and only last a few hours, or some days you may only have one class or something and get a bunch of free time." and I always had enough time between classes in college or during "seminar" period in high school to get my homework done so I never actually had to do much at home. as for work I've done, I've worked in a tire shop doing tire changes, oil changes, etc, during high school and summers for the first 2 years of college. Not a lot of brain power required there. The next summer I did landscaping. Same deal. Then I got the job I have now, which has been mostly putting data into an Excel spreadsheet, with a little software work with that data. At this job I've always been able to make my own hours for the most part, aside from days when we have meetings and stuff. I generally try to work between 8 and 5 though just so my boss and I can talk if something comes up that needs changed or whatnot. I just have to wait until at least 7:30am before I get here or before about 5pm if I want to work in the evenings because they lock the doors at night. and since it's all on my computer at work, not really anything I can do at home. What have been your jobs where you've had to? I work in sales, more work = more money. However, pretty much all of my salaried friends are in the same boat. I would agree that when you work hourly you don't take anything home work wise, but if you work for a salary it is a different story.

Both are expensive

Any restrictions in the pipe? If so you can use two pressure transducers and measure the differential between them. If not, you are going to have to use a doppler flow device.

Because of the lp crossover point or what ? My comment was comparing 6.5 comp sets to 5.25 comp sets. The 6.5's will definitely have the capability of playing lower which is definitely related to where you will need to HP them. There are definitely some 5.25 drivers that can get down and boogie, but I haven't seen them packaged very effectively in off the shelf components.

A flapper that wants to grind is your friend too

Did they give you the file they used for their sewing machine? My w has a machine that can do stitching like that, but we have no way of generating the embroidery file.

Are you putting the PowerMaster in your trunk, or just replacing the stocker. The only reason you would run a ground from your battery to your trunk is if you're adding a second battery. I will be replacing my stock battery with the Powermaster. I am waiting to see if it will eliminate my dimming issues when cranked. Of course I am waiting for the D3400 to be released. As for the big 3, I am not a proponent of the big 3. I upgrade the grounds but that is it. Adding a bigger positive from the alternator bypasses some safety engineered into the system. Plus what does it add? Unless you have upgraded your alternator, the wire gauge has been sized to the particular output of the alternator. Bigger wire will not increase the output. Yes yes, I know it may possibly lower the resistance. But rather doubt that it will dramatically improve the charging capacity of the alternator on that short of a run. As for running the ground to the trunk... I had a noise issue. No matter where I tried to ground, noise entered the system. I ran a ground from the head unit to the rear as well. As a last resort, I went ahead and ran the 1/0 to the rear. Also because I was thinking I may have to add a second battery. When all was hooked up, the noise dissappeared!!! Plus I noticed that the voltage drop was less at the amp. So now I figure it is a cheap (reletively speaking if you add are able to remove potential time wasted on having to troubleshoot finding a ground loop or noise issue) and easy addition to the install. The wire isn't sized for the alternator, but the draw of the vehicle. Adding an amp changes that draw a TON.

One other thing, if you have to put in 40hrs a week wouldn't you rather choose when you put in the 40hrs? I can't say I ever put anywhere near that into school which of course means that I could have easily done all my homework doing an 8-5 period.

I guess you and I have had vastly different work experiences. What do you do?
