And a lot more fragile . Sounds like you got the powdered wood filler that you mix with water. Shrinks like a mofo It's called "like a rock" and says it doesnt shrink but it will expand if it comes directly in contact with water or humid air so painting or sealing with epoxy is reccomended. Did it come in a bucket ? I got this crap one time that was a powder. You mixed it with water, and it became a paste used for wood filler. Believe it said something about not shrinking as well. But the mdf sucked the water out of the chit really quick and the stuff never really hardened right. May not be the same stuff, I can't remember the name off hand Same thing happened to me sort of. I built an end table that I was going to put a marble top on. Went to tile on the top and it seemed to work fine, but picked it up and the top came off. The damn MDF sucked all the liquid out of the quickset. I figured with the quick setting type it would be fine. Oops, painting it first next time.

da grill is heating

I don't think a thick baffle is overkill. You guys have seen my glass box. I am thinking about building a set of speaks with a baffle like this and it is only for an 8" -- in my case Rs225. And it will be braced to hell as well.

Sup sir lirkalot. There's plenty to go around. Now if I can just figure out which drive to stick the pan in......... I'm firing up the teleporter. If it doesn't work I may have to fire up the grill.

Oh jeez, time for a...

If I do get a new amp for the Rlp it may be getting a new box too. Thought about building a ported box, the port firing up through the rear midbass hole and the speaker baffled to fire through the ski pass. Would be pretty cool and might solve the "get the bass out of the german car" problem.

I almost ordered an Aura just to listen to it, but then thought I'd get a pair and build a little set of pc speakers. But time > me so I haven't yet.

Cool, I look forward to hearing how you like it.

And what driver? Something like the Aura NS3?

Aha, where are you putting said center channel/

TOP

I use it fully for myself when I am alone, which is 90% fo the time. With all the TA set for the driver seat the sound stage for the passenger seat is on the dash towrd the right. When I set it up for both seats it seems to be a little left on the driver and right on the passenger. Basically I just TA the mids and highs to eachother on the same side. With the center channel I wont have to worry about setting it just for the left or right, driver seat or both. I will delay each side and rely on the center to bring the sound stage tword the center. You just going to run it mono, but with less power like a staging tweeter?

And a lot more fragile . Sounds like you got the powdered wood filler that you mix with water. Shrinks like a mofo I thought all H20 activated stuff shrinks...

Maybe see if Stephen M has any Miniliths left Hadn't got that far yet, I was looking for a tweeter amp for the truck so I can bridge the PA5532 to the mids and saw some guy looking for the 475. I would prefer to run my sub off a 1chn sub amp instead of bridging the 475 so I thought what the hell. If I do sell it, I will sell the M44 and the P150 as well and replace the whole lot of amps. /rant Why the hell aren't there any active front stage amps. Something with 200wx2 and 50wx2 would be perfect.

From the small amount of testing I have done with them, they sound good to me as long as you arent more then 35-40 degrees off axis, and as long as you are with in 3-5" of eye level. What do you mean on the complex and center channel? The complex is with me understanding how putting a speaker in the center of a couple on axis drivers is going to help the stage. I don't doubt you, but I don't see how it will help in the drivers seat and the BG's I thought weren't the best for having more than one sweet spot in your vehicle.

I repeat again :drool:

Ramos, don't you use the scented nitro in your RC's? First time I smelled strawberry exhaust it cracked me up. The synthetic oil for my snowmobile smells a bit like that too. Funny chit.

Jeez, you are making me jealous. Of course adding a center and the BG's seems a bit weird to me only in that the BG's almost need to be on axis which I am having a complex about what the center channel will do then. P9 :drool:

Gonna have to bump tunes to stay awake on your drive.

I imagine they are filling a nice gap. I looked at doing the Extremi in my truck, but mixing them with just a tweeter didn't seem to be the best path. What tweeter are you using?

Hmm, someone on ECA is looking for a zx475ti which I have and wouldn't mind upgrading to something larger for the Rlp. Anyone have thoughts on what I should ask for it?

They look a bit spendy for my tastes, for that amount of dough you can build one heck of a DIY set.

Enjoy the Coustics on your drive.
