  1. ahh i get ya, so it has to be at the certain fz to do damage, like at spl contests where they do quick burbs of the bass.. ok cool thanks man

    What that curve means is that it would take a 120db bass signal to do the same damage to our ears as a 90db 1khz tone or 80db 3-4khz tone. Human ears are less sensitive at picking up bass then the rest of the spectrum apart from extreme highs (20khz+)

  2. I had those hifonics both running off a pioneer deck and off my kicker 4 channel. I thought they were good at the time. Off the deck, they didn't really sound all that clear. They sounded much better off my amp. Before I got new comps though, I noticed the hifonic's woofers made a horrible screech sound around 3000hz-ish where the crossover frequency was. I don't know if it was the speaker or the crossover, but it was obnoxious. Because of that, I wouldn't recommend getting them.

  3. Here's the setup I have. I'm real happy with it. Not too expensive either. Only thing I would change might be the graphics card. I'd probably get that ATi card newls posted.

    And this is the GPU I have. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150357

    But that is a Nvidia gpu and the motherboard is an ATi based mobo. There are some slight problems with that, like a few of the mobo's graphics control programs for ATi don't work with the Nvidia. But that's minor, and don't affect the function of the graphics card or mobo...

    All that is like $800 with shipping though. You could probably do without the bluray (-80) and you probably could find some cheaper ram (-20-40ish) That's about how much it all cost me when I bought it over the summer too. Prices really haven;t changed much...

  4. I built my first computer over the summer. I got a triple core AMD (2.8ghz, but can be easily overclocked to around 3.2ghz or more), asus mobo, Nvidia GTS250 gpu, and 4gb ddr3 memory, as well as a 640gb caviar black hd. It's pretty fast for me, works great. It ended up costing like $1000, and that includes a nice 23in acer monitor and a blu-ray reader. I would say make sure you get a healthy amount of memory and a quick hd. Also, if you get a nice gpu, it'll help with some of the load on the cpu for image and video processing, so you'll prolly want a decent one of those too.

    What I did to figure out the components to get was go to a computer forum and pose this same question. They very quickly gave me like 4 or 5 different set ups that would work great. I would suggest trying that, since there will be many more people there that could help you out or you could just read threads that other people have posted asking the same question. Not saying there aren't people here who don't know...

  5. Check woofersetc or sonicelectronix. I've only used one pair of comps in that price range (actually, they were like $60), which are Hifonics comps. I hated them. Don't get them. They are obnoxious and screechy. I do like my Image Dynamics, but the cheapest set on woofersetc is $180. They sound great though.
