  1. I was wondering when the Civic was gonna be getting some attention. I saw that you're still running a single cam engine under the hood, have you thought about upgrading to a dual cam engine?
  2. Yeah the mic levels of the gopros are "auto" and will adjust automatically. Mainly what I'd look for in the video is how it handled lighting since they significantly improved it's low light performance. Also, how the framerate allows the camera to capture woofer movement. Everything else like audio quality or even editing like HDR the video (balancing low light with bright light for an evenly "lit" video) can be improved in post or with added gear. I think they have a mic input of which you could use something like a Zoom H4n Field Recorder. Also, give the Black Edition a try shooting in 4k mode and not 1080 and see what you think of that.
  3. That is a sick subwoofer! Was curious about the measured surface area if it was a true 15" and not middle of surround to middle of surround, and about db loss from it, but that was already answered. My next question may be hypothetical, but do you think future speakers would reach a point where having too much linear excursion would distort the sound since the cone would have to travel a greater distance to replicate the sound, and may not be able to move as fast as the sound wave being sent to the speaker? Also, would there be any custom prospects for a 21" version of the subwoofer? I've been talking with a few local guys into using car audio based subwoofers for club/portable pa use over traditional pa systems.
  4. Blue G35, Yellow Lotus Exige, 2 Silver Nissan Skyline R35's, one with a Gopro Camera on Back glass, and a what appears to be a third Skyline that is black (yellow brakes are stock). And camera car is a silver skyline.
  5. I think what it is, is the temptation one has when following a "friend" or another car enthusiast. And, they felt compelled to show their driving skills or car's performance any chance they get. And when the opposing car takes off they feel like that's their chance to challenge them. But, such is the result when one doesn't know the back roads, or that there's a roundabout coming up. From the video it seems that he got airborne, loss traction when he landed and tires got loose, but managed to keep the car going straight as he was breaking to a stop. I suspect that they are alright, but i could be wrong.
  6. Got an idea for you - 4 21-in subwoofers mounted to a walled t-line. each pair facing opposite each other and are mounted in the line. The front of subwoofers fire into the line which goes to the back of the van, then comes around and goes towards the front. From the cabin you'd see 2 tall vertical ports with the backs of the woofers mounted within them(exposed). Each pair is in it's own t-line. The facing of the wall can be for woofers, midbass and highs.
  7. Actually, it'd be perfect for home studios that are needing power but deal with tight spaces.
  8. Will Sundown be considering building a 4" or 6.5" woofer based on their zv.3 concept?
  9. The following is a link to my log of videos I shot of a thunderstorm that passed through Little Rock, Arkansas this morning. The camera used was a Nikon D5100 with the Zoom H4n Professional Field Recorder. Let me know how it sounds on some of your theater or vehicle setups (those of you with internet access in cars) - http://www.youtube.c...1D&feature=plcp Example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrhqRPNOj9w&hd=1
  10. Mad props to both competitors in their own right. Love the fact that there's a 4th order wall in a Caprice Classic, and not some trunk rattler. But i'd have to say as soon as Hellboy cranked his, it was over, too clean and loud too.
  11. I got a couple! Got my friend Anaas sitting in the hot seat, while Astrolade plays one of my tracks - Rocktown SPL "Sloo": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzgbUDkBeyI And the Black Nasty giving a demo and the girl jumps on the hit - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BcRI1s1mfY&t=7s

  14. That test wont help you determine whether the pop happens on the compression or vacuum. You would need a high speed camera. Yea, I know let me find someone with a Phantom camera and see if their willing to for this project.
  15. Also, I know that people compete with putting the meter in the port, but how loud is it when you put the meter inside a completely sealed or ported box with however many woofers?
  16. I think it pops on compression. The only way to really test this is to put a small balloon in a sealed box for a 15" woofer, tape it to a side and a camera and a small flash light do a sweep test. The sealedness of the box will eliminate the potential for "air traffic" coming into or exiting the box. or use a box that is sealed with a plexiglass.
  17. Since it is highly discouraged to have someone site inside an extreme SPL vehicle, 170db+, I'm curious what it would do to a balloon that is sealed inside the compression chamber. I know that the woofers apply pounds of pressure in it's compression stroke and create a vacuum draw of pressure of equal strength, so for someone to sit inside a pressure chamber, if they could keep their mouth and nose closed they may be somewhat alright, but what I think happens is that when you open your mouth, the system's air vacuum draws the air out of your lungs so rapidly that it could rip your lungs and diaphragm, because it's basically trying to "pull" pull those organs out of your mouth, since especially the diaphragm is what moves to help you breathe. But as far as if a person sat inside will it "crush" you? If an extreme vehicle has the compression chamber so rigid that the walls will not flex then something's gotta give. So, I'm thinking that the bass compression from the speakers would cause a balloon to burst from the amount of new pressure exerted onto it. Also, when they had vacuum chambers outlawed, did competitors actually hook a pipe to the sealed chamber, and suck air out of it? And did the woofers pull forward from doing this? (I know this a crazy thought but curious to know). Oh, and this is different from putting something in front of a port of an enclosure. The woofers apply pounds of air pressure that can rip or forcefully impact anything that is in the path of it's air drawing port.

  19. Why not put the batteries on the floor behind the seats?
