  1. I will not eat ANY meat in a can.
  2. Having coverage and being able to have a conversation are two different things on Verizon.
  3. More than 2 devices I always use a relay....actually I think I've used a relay even for one device. My current truck has something like 15 devices that turn on...from a single relay. Carpc for the wtfwiring!
  4. Hmm, mine is an early 505.....
  5. Anchovies don't come in a can....at least not in my house.
  6. What early build issues? Mine is still under warranty, but was delivered 5 days before it was released so it is definitely an early build... Want to make sure that doesn't bite me.
  7. ie, you haven't actually compared to a service that gives you both speed and quality. My wife has an HTC M9 and even my old Nexus 4 KILLED it in voice quality and internet speed. My G4 now embarrasses it. Definitely the network. As for the drive you just described I would also be the T-mobile coverage would be better....only because you were traversing (ie using big roads). The ONLY weakness of T-mobile is where the population thins and the roads no longer point to a big city the coverage gets worse. They are rapidly adding towers though while Verizon is reducing.
  8. Only on iPhones as the Droid products were different. Half my company bitches about it and I called their CS at least 15 times in the past year and it is worse than Mediacom or Comcast so yeah, uh worse than any company I have EVER called.
  9. Re-read tirefryr's recommendation. Don't bother with the stainless.
  10. Good anchovies are great....shitty ones dogshit
  11. Starting with "i know" and ending with "notes" is 1000% incorrect. There is more but you type books and I am on a mobile device and am not retyping it. The other major wrong is that RF has a good enclosure. More like horseshit.
  12. Don't. Spend less and learn it will NOT help you do anything to buy that. Seriously a $5 usb Mic can a do everything you highlighted and until you realise what it doesn't spending more is stupid. I made measurements today with 120 measurement mics and enlightened a ton of people. Sure it was a few hundred thousand dollars worth of year but it was chosen for a particular purpose. Yours is child's play and a real Mic will be a waste of cash until you learn how to use it.
  13. You tune a ported subwoofer by designing a box. Everything else you said about ported boxes in your original post is wrong. Really wrong. Troll like wrong....
  14. off to change the automotive damping and acoustic world this morning. Ought to be published again after this one
  15. Do you have to do something with it?
  16. I've been with him all week
  17. Copper has a low fatigue life. Can't say. It would drive me NUTS if musicians swapped places on stage.
  18. If you switch the right and left input the right right side of the stage will play out of the left speaker and vice versa
  19. Don't waste your money. Start with a usb Mic or your laptop and then when you don't understand the data ask. After you then find the weakness of the so cheapo Mic you can shop for a better one. The one you linked is garbage for the money.
  20. Sitting in the airport with the world's leading most engineer on acoustic arrays. Traveling from detroit to minneapolis with me.
  21. Mine are being built.
  22. I am torn actually. The rural coverage of Verizon I love, but general usage in comparison to Tmobile is really tough. My wife is on Verizon so we regularly get direct comparisons. Her voice quality is terrible in comparison, shockingly bad.
  23. What is your goal? ie, what are you trying to accomplish? A real measurement mic is $1000. You can surely use the non-calibrated Dayton, but you should also understand the differences and corrections required when using it in different sound fields and depending on your goals that may change what you need completely. If you just want to measure relative 1/24 octaves just use the onboard mic and whatever free ware. Make a change and see the relative difference. Just don't expect absolute values, but in reality absolute values will just cause you to do dumb things if you are measuring for the reasons I think you are...tell us though and I can give you better guidance.
  24. T-mobile is about 3-4x the speed of verizon for internet.
  25. The only audio card I can recommend for this sort of measurement is a DAL card. Last I checked they required a desktop and were $300. That being said, the whole goal isn't a good one. Really the only use for a mic in car audio is to find acoustic aberrations that you want to eq out with either physical changes or of course electronic filters. Trying to achieve a target frequency response is not something that is trivial, nor logical. If you are unsure the difference between octave analysis, 1/3 octave, and narrow band and the anomalies you will find in amplitude you are in over your head trying to use an "RTA". Even in just narrow band FFT analysis window block length has a huge influence. In general your ear hears in 1/3 octaves, but they are TERRIBLE for tuning. Remember the goal of filtering and eq is to remove crap. Fixing the response should be done with speaker choice, installation, mounting and so on.
