So, I recently picked up this 2013 Subaru BRZ. Decided I wanted to protect it, so put on a clear front bra as soon as I could. For the rest of the car, I heard about this product called opticoat. In short, it amounts to basically putting a layer of resin on your paint. Permanent, and quite glossy. Sheds water well. But, since it is so permanent, your paint needs to be absolutely perfect before you apply. So, heres what I did. Here was my starting point. Quite good as you can see Here is after clay bar, and polish Here is after opticoating out in the sunlight. And perhaps the best, a video of some stuffs So far Im pretty happy. If it holds up as well as it is supposed to, ill continue to be happy.

True. Plus more people with them means cheaper and more plentifull aftermarket parts. Thanks! Thanks! With my normal seating position (im 5' 11") there is about 4 inches behind the front seat. To make matters worse, the seats are so low there isn't room for your feet under them so you have to turn them sideways. I tried sitting behind my gf in the passenger seat and it is possible, definitely not comfy though. Luckily, I didn't buy the car for the back seats, lol.

Maybe at some point. I stll have a year of college left and even though I'm the one paying for it, my dad is trying to put his foot down on no "boom box" because my typical ones flll the car. (that probe at one time had 2 18's, now only has one) Im going to be selling lv4 18, but I still will be keeping my AQ2200. Id love to put it in, but having something to power with it might be hard, cause as you said I don't want to add a lot of weight and Im also not wanting to fill up the little bit of storage space it has. However, where the rear speakers are is a pretty large space. Im going to try to see if some 8's or maybe 10's could fit back there. Might be able to hide them back there and not have my dad complain too much as long as he doesn't see me tearing apart the car to install it. Not sure if the alpine w900bt will be going in or not, the stock radio is pretty good. Unless I got the imprint as well its probably not worth it. Haven't messed with it yet a ton so we will see. thx So far I like it a lot. The interior is perfect for what I want, though I do have the upper model. I might take some more pics here in a bit. Has great response. Haven't thrashed it too much yet. Lol, thanks

Frequency (AC)

What do you mean size of Hz? size of Hz makes no sense, Hz is a frequency, thats all. Its like saying, "what size are you going on the interstate?" Maybe you mean the amplitude of the voltage, in which case it is 200. 200sin(500t) basically means you have a sinusoid that goes between 200 and -200 and does this 500 times every second -

500hz, the frequency comes from the only thing that is causing a sinusoid, the sin -
I AM TRYING THIS!

just to get the sentence here: "The average human yells at about 80 decibels, which carries along with it about .001 watts of energy..." Since it "carries" it along with it 0.001 watts, that is all that is there, in the air. There is no way to put 50 watts to a speaker and have it all go to a glass of water or similar. First of all, you will lose most of the power in the speaker, largely to heat, etc. I don't know how to do the math, nor do I want to go find out, but judging by the 0.001 watts from 80dB, say a very good case scenario you have enough power in the sound waves to be considered a full watt. Now focus this at a glass of water. Can you still hear the speaker? Yes, so not all of it is going to the water. Considering how well sound bounces off large bodies of water, almost none of it gets absorbed I would guess. Even if you did get that full watt into it, using their math, it would take 52000 seconds to heat your "coffee" or whatever. (well over half a day) since this is way longer than the rate at which it would loose heat, etc. However, feel free to try it. Especially the second one, that sounds fun if it works.
