LIked as well...

Ordered mine, cool shirt for a good cause...

Happy Birthday Logan, shots shots and more shots...

Happy Birthday youngster...

I know how you feel Fish, that was me a few years ago I was 45 then and the 5 roommates I had was mid 20’s as well. I think it the first time away from there moms following them to clean up after them so they do what they want. And many have not learned respect yet still learning what there freedom is on there own. It is a experience having roommates with a large age gap. Cloths left in the washer or dryer and no one appears to be keeping a eye on there cloths would end up on the floor or shoved behind the washer/dryer.

Happy Birthday Hannah...

Let see if I can help or make it really confusing. Is it really impedance rise or a impedance curve? Does the impedance rise and stay at that value there during system playback or does it fluctuate based on frequency played? In theory it is impedance curve as the motor travels through it range of motion to reproduce the signal sent to the speaker its value will change as the frequency changes. With the resonant frequency being the highest of this curve in a free air measurement. In a daily system the impedance curve comes with the music playback territory and the different alignments you place your speaker into will have its own effect. Sealed, ported, bandpass enclosures all try to reproduce the music signal into sound waves for us to enjoy and whatever levels we choose, lol. But like others have said a good enclosure designer/builder can take all the variables for your install and come up with a good solution. Impedance curve can not be viewed with a single meter it will take at least two meters and a disk of test tones. Take some readings at different frequencies (20- 80 hz.) and calculate the actual impedance. If you have easy access to your amp that is powering your subs and a DMM set it for AC voltage and read your output voltage (+ & -) from your amp during some music and you will see a glimpse of your sub working to produce different frequencies as the voltage fluctuates.

Try Lisa's House at 3250 Ualena St near Honolulu Airport on Wednesday nights around 9pm that is when some of the other car audio guys in Oahu hang out and some nights meter in the parking lot.

I reported him as well, sad thing is there is people in the background that has shaped his/her viewpoints. Hope his sites get shut down soon...

Looks like a bicycle messenger from San Francisco got himself a motorcycle and out for a relaxing ride around town

If you have a T1500bdcp already pick up another one and gain match the amps and use one amp for each coil without having to strap the amps. Depends on what your Lvl 5 coil configuration is currently with D1, D1.5 or D2 should work with one T1500 on each coil. Use the pass through port RCA from one T1500 to the second T1500. Not sure if Meade amps are strapped, I thought he was using the master/slave function on his T2500 to make adjustments to the first amp and that will control the slave amps as well. And I thought Steve had each T2500 amp dedicated to a coil on the subs. Will have to go back and read his build log. Have fun man and time to wake up that Lvl 5 with either amp route you choose.

Good job on your first time in the lanes, and yes it was dumping down rain.

Thanks guys yea been hanging out in the bay lately... Bad news is finally here got my 30-day notice so maybe heading back to the bay for work... Haha yea lurker is me for sure... Have a good one guys see you at some of the upcoming shows...

Good to hear you are home, time to relax and enjoy the family

Been listening to dubstep for a short time, bored and tired with all the lyrics of rap, too many rappers today rely on cuss-word lyrics to sell there songs, when a beats engineer is used to put the boom in the song and that is what draws use to most songs out there today, nice change of pace.

Happy Birthday Skittles...

Good luck to you Skittles still remember when I asked you how you came up with your name at the lake county show and low and behold you pull out a bag of skittles, too funny... Sure we will still see you around the forums good luck in you future adventures, see ya...

Here's to a speedy recovery Jack enjoy the rest-time...

One Idea could be with this configuration that stock alternator has an internal voltage regulator tied into the ECU for the engine, my mazda has this setup and HO alternators or a higher voltage can end up damaging the ECU. Also in the configuration the second alternator can be a higher amperage (as shown) and adjustable voltage output for just the audio amps. The higher voltage will not damage any of the stock electrical using the isolator. Or could be a way of not breaking the vehicle warranty since you are adding a separate alternator and batteries for your car audio needs and not modifying the factor electrical system...

I know how you feel this is my last month of child support so $1000 a month raise for me and time to pay some bills off. Can't go wrong with a Lexus you deserve it...

Happy Birthday Ken thanks for sharing your audio knowledge with us...

That vid was too funny, that's the same reason most cars are automatic now days too many could not figure out the clutch and the brake pedal in a accident.

anyone have a apple macbook and think I should know anything before i get it? any major flaws to look out for and so on. thanks Hows it going I have using mac's for a few years, I use a macbook pro one of the things you may add is Firefox. Safari has had some problems viewing SMD, displaying the pics or graphics. I have not had the hard-drive problems reported, have fun sounds like good machine I am going to be upgrading soon as well.

Happy B-day to you it is a good day I turned 45 today as well.

Looks like a fun show and looking forward to a demo see you guys on Sat.
