FR 3's HAVE to HAVE to HAVE to be on axis. If he wants in dash control it means a new headunit. Just make sure to get the balanced miniDSP's as they have more output voltage (even when used unbalanced)

So, for more money and less usability? $210 buy you 2 miniDSP's with all the power of those+. Don't understand that recommendation at all. Overpay for less functionality and more...nothing.

300 is dangerous...if it drops

Good shoes work

Thought about trying a blind test. Im using 320kbs mp3 right now. Maybe I'll just make a bunch of files and put it on random. Should I throw a few different encoders into the mix? I've also done some null tests for my undergrad research. So based on that I realize there's little difference between high bit rate mp3 and lossless but its not an area I feel understand confidently. In that case it had more to do with the data than whether or not an audible difference exist. I doubt you'll end up at needing 320

Fuck it, do it next week. I am going to go bang the wife.

Boo, chose the wrong drive to install on. Had to activate 7 before installing 8 to get it to work. Really just want a "fresh" install with no leftover bullshit. Afraid when I say Keep Nothing, it keeps something.

ME... I fucking hated Millennium Edition. I never owned that bullshit.

Grrr, accidentally installed 7 on the wrong partition. Fuck me. Maybe it'll still let me install 8 on the right one.

Is there something downloadable someplace? Looks like something for manufcaturers

Everything is a compromise. In a perfect world you'd get both drivers equal distant, a long ways away, nearly on axis, with no reflecting planes nearby. The doors are none of those. I personally wouldn't go through the effort of doing a 3 way in the doors.

Makes me REALLY wish someone wrote a Linux frontend for the car that was wroth a shit.

And fuck windows. 8 wouldn't accept my key. Upgrade only. Put 7 on, 8 won't install. Probably because there was still remnants of it. Plopped ubuntu on it, formatted the drives and am now installing Windows 7 again.

I use mp3. Realized I forgot that part of the equation. Amazing how you can't hear some compression at all, but lots sounds like shit.

Do a blind a/b test, it'll be better for you than anything you've ever done. If you want, mail me some songs I'll encode them for you and send them back. You tell me which ones you can tell the difference between. Cheat, use your headphones. It'll make you happy with your choice.

The ISF I drove had a terrible stereo. No idea what they do. Will give you another hint though. The OE's spend jack shit on drivers. Usually under a buck. Can't make a good midrange for that.

Wrong apolis.

I have an mSata SSD inside and room for a 9.5mm thick laptop HDD. I have 500mb of SSD and 500mb of HDD which is a little shy for my music, but close enough as I can yank a few things. GB? Haha ROFL, I only have one song on each unit baby

Just another marketing gimic. There are a few of those in car audio. Luckily for the 3 way, it has more value than the SMDDDDD1

Thats true, havent had much time at all now that the dealership i worked for has been sold and more then half of the employees werent rehired to the new owners company but a handfull of techs including myself have to work 6 days a week opening to closing and not to mention i have school after work. But i wil try to squeeze some time to try it out. That is really nice that you think your time is more valuable than everyone else's on the board. Makes us feel special.

Seriously?

XP? Ding, ding, yep. Pretty sure I have 3.0 as well.

I've had plenty of paper in my doors...including shitty GM ones that leaked like a sieve.

He doesn't want an SQ driver, not even close.
