You can, but not really if you are hittin' it.

pushrods ain't thaaaat bad Look at how many people love the Ls series of motors and how long the chevy small-block has been playing with push rods. That's due to economics. GM hasn't been able to figure out how to mass-produce an OHC V8 cheap enough yet, and they won't make concessions that Ford has. You have stemmed my curiousity on the concessions you are referring to. Well, let's take the Ford Modular motors for example. Their 4 vlave 4.6 is the cheapest DOHC V8 in production. IT's small, lightweight, a little down on power and durability, but it's super-efficient and very smooth. The blocks themselves can handle over 1000HP, but their weaker internals are their downfall. Notice when Ford Supercharged the Cobra in '03 they went with an iron blcok and forged internals. Now, they say they did this for durability, but there were a ton of racers already pumping a lot of boost into the aluminum blocks with nothing more than forged internals. The aluminum blocks were proven performers in the strenght area, but with Ford adding forged internals and a supercharger, they had to cut costs soomewhere. Bring in the iron block. They have been very aware of the HUGE success of the Mustang aftermarket and left it upon this aftermarket to take the most advantage of the engines. I think GM should follow suit. The market that is going to be buying these engines in these vehicles is also going to be looking into the aftermarket anyways, so why not cheapen up on the engine a little bit and leave it to the end user? You get less weight, higher rev potnential and the best part is increased efficiency. GM has always been one to sort of stay with what works, and while it has worked, sometimes you need to venture out and try something new. They got the SB Chevy to be THE CHEAPEST ENGINE to mass produce and work on, so I'm sure, if they tried, they would have no problem with adapting to the OHC engines as well. Their only venture I can recall is the ZR1 corvette, and THAT is far from cheap to produce or repair. It was very overcomplicated. Now, this is strictly my opinion here. I thought you said there were concessions. To me it actually sounds logical as there is an issue here in the US with people buying quality. Just look at the number of chain restaurants. Actually I have a fun game for you all. You realize how much I travel right? Now realize that I do not eat at any chain when I am alone (local little ones excluded) and see how many places you can find to eat. It sickens me how commercialized and crap-tized our diets have become here. In Europe it is family restaurant after family restaurant. In the US we get suburban strip mall chain hell. I FUCKING hate it.

Nice move! It wouldn't be bad as that is how to play the game.

After two weeks on an item that I was going to sell, all I'd see is the money as well. I wouldn't allow myself to be attached to anything that I was selling.

I'd like to see it a lot farther off the ground than 1/2", in your truck I'd actually say as high off as you can get it which I know isn't all that high. I don't remember if yours is, but if its an NBS you can easily just put a little piece of 3/4" ply under your seat mounts in the rear and gain a little more space. That and the seat can sort of rest on the box instead of the actual supports and still lock in if you are a little high.

Only when you can't get the interior panels back on Mine are on, sort of.

While I like that tweet and haven't heard the cal 25 I really, really do not think it is fair to compare the two using some arbitrary bastardized passive crossover. I am not saying I don't want to hear your reaction but please do realize that your crossover is leaving an order of magnitude of potential improvement not being used. You really should start playing in the active world.

I love it and hate it at the same time. Up front bass gives me wood, a beefy in 8 in the door excites me, but all that weight and potential energy really frightens me. Even swinging the extra weight on the hinges is spooky. I have so much deadening in my truck that the doors weigh a ton, I can't imagine putting a 25lb sub in them especially considering how much of a baffle and other extra weight would be needed. I don't think it is super feasible to do with that driver. I'd like a bit more frequency extension to allow a smaller mid. I wouldn't go 4 way front + sub by adding a Poly either.

Turning into it, used to be better.

In my neck of the woods even

you have pm more than kind sir

Did they do any testing in the article?

Holy 10G's in suspension.

holy dial up batman

just got this note http://photo-slideshow-software-review.toptenreviews.com/ i'll download the torrent and try it out to see if i can download then i'm going to mail it. I you

Exactly. A sine wave is smooth as it is a single fundamental frequency. A clipped signal is the fundamental frequency and some higher order harmonics. When you are badly clipping, the waveform becomes square because there are many higher order harmonics present. Just to give you an idea, if the fundamental frequency was 50Hz, then 100Hz would be the first order harmonic, 150Hz would be the second order, 200Hz the third order, etc. If you have enough of these present, you have a full on square wave, carrying a large amount of power under the curve (average power over time is substantially higher). If the speaker is capable of dissipating that average power, though, there is no damage done. It will simply sound terrible. I am always surprised how much clipping most peoples ears can tolerate and think is okay as well.

Ah, ok. Stupid idiots in Iowa couldn't install a 4chn amp in one shot and claim they are the top dealer. WTF?

I know nothing about any of them. If there is anything that works it is fine.

Kent, didn't you say you guys were the top Memphis dealer in the midwest? Some joke of a place in Iowegia is claiming that as well and I wanted to say something about it.

You might as well

Anybody have a software program that will make a slideshow with pictures? My buddy that got married in Mexico a couple months ago is having a reception and I want to put together all the pictures that I have collected from everybody into a show. My dad has Corel Snapfire, but its a non-cracked so I can't register it on my pc. I of course need it fast. Help!
