I am also not so good at keeping things neat when I work. Every night I work means another night of cleaning up re-organizing. It is what happens when there isn't enough space and you don't have the parts you need though.

And feel really stupid I waited to start it. I thought I was selling my house though and really couldn't have 2 stroke parts in my kitchen.

Now if my wrist pin bearings would land I'd be really happy. I'd LOVE to put the pistons on the motor as that gets it "done". Then bearings & seals for the chaincase and it'll be 90% together. New gauges should land tomorrow so I can rewire it. Starting to get excited.

Atleast you are in the warm. Definitely warm. Drank a bottle of wine instead of working on it. Of course all I can do do is undo all the bolts, locktite and torque to spec. It's been "built" for a week or so. Missing a two clips as the rest I needed came today.

Which I will gladly do IF the rest of the sled comes in. That or yank them off the wives sled, lol.

Hoping I get a few parts tomorrow. I have a trip on Friday and am waiting for parts on both sleds. Riding the new one would be super sweet, but basically no chance in hell unless I seriously over pay for some tie rod ends.

Ha, the skid for my snowmobile is on my kitchen counter and the engine in pieces above the ovens. Garage growth ftw.

If she wasn't so slow that'd be sweet. Realize the cultural gap there, but nice try anyway

Beware, flexibility is addicting...but nothing is more flexible than a PC. Having a custom taper via biquad or stacked filters may net you more out of those horns on the low end.

One other thing to think about. No headunit is going to make the horns sound as they can. Need an aftermarket proc for that. Won't hurt your other pursuits either.

Agreed.

I have microwaved quarts of oil to get a car to start at sub zero temps.I remember the days where everywhere you parked had a plug in for your block heater.

It's Pueblo, might as well be Mexico. Which means EAT MEXICAN food.

Not going to get much below 70Hz even with porting at least and not maintain upper extension. Pro Audio mids are very focused in the range they play (have to be to have efficiency). When are you buying processing? I'd REALLY recommend playing with those horns. Eric claims 800Hz, but depending on your listening habits that may be too much. In particular with limited processing. If you want, I need a miniDSP. Order one, try some setups and then send it to me and I'll pay for it at that time. Just don't fuck it up. Before you do though let me know as I may order 2 more...

I too would sell what you have and buy something else. Really should only be out the shipping that way and the results will be far better. Model both in WinISD and you will quickly want to change drivers The question above about Home Theater or music should really be answered as well. The "design" you have is tuned low for movies, but IMO for that purpose could be even tuned lower (driver dependent of course) at the same time it is tuned lower than necessary for music. With a Large, Low tuned box/tube you will also need a SSF if you are to watch movies playing through it. Some of the audio content on film these days is absurdly low and can rapidly damage drivers otherwise. For music it probably isn't a concern unless you find the 11 on the volume knob regularly.

who is Mark?

Sadly today I wouldn't either. Any normal winter day and I'd be leaving with a HUGE fucking grin on my face.

I haven't seen snow like that in years.

Capitalist swine

Why would he joke, it is drywall

You are really good at summarizing your own faults and trying to apply them elsewhere. Good luck with that in life, lol.

J also has the advantage of 12's that will actually reach up to 1kHz rather nicely ON AXIS. Obviously a compromise as is everything audio in a car, but that is where you are right now. Simple will require more of a compromise so it all depends on how far you want to go.

Every studio I've worked with we've measured in situ and the designs were then adjusted. This means an iteration in your box and some measurement gear, but it'll really help nail things down. Be a rather good learning experience too. We've always taken it a step further though and done room corrections, but that requires measurement gear that is extremely cost prohibitive.

nexus 10 can't do what the 7 can?It could, if someone writes a ROM for it. Need a hack to allow fast charging & USB support at the same time. Rapid recovery from snooze a HUGE bonus too. So far no one has done that for the 10, nor even the 2nd gen 7.

Does it support mhl output?Good point. Been a while since I looked. My memory is charging & using USB devices trumps the MHL, but perhaps it is more clever than that. I originally had looked, but realized that it could control apps on another Android and stream movies to it. Makes me wonder if it can stream controls in which case I could use the 7 as a brain and another device as the screen. Would be a bit ackward but as a stopgap until something that is perfect is released it could work.
