[Steve Come to NC and give me a DEMO !! lol]

Think you'd be better off flying to Cali for a demo, he's not gonna drive that far, sorry to burst your bubble.

[Anybody else here run Flac or lossless files like me?]

I use mp3, no need or space for bigger files. I just make sure I get the best sounding mp3 file possible. This is also because I almost never buy music anymore.

Meh, don't like mp3, not even 320 that much, I only use it when I can't find the flac version but love the song.

[Lexus IS-F Sound System install - Custom SMD VM-1/OM-1/TM-1f Dash Piece (update page 71)]

I love when people give suggestions but don't really know. You want your kids and tweets close together unless you are trying to raise your sound stage.

honest question

when wouldnt you want to raise your sound stage?

when it doesn't NEED to be raised

you guys must know some sq voodoo then

ive never liked tweeters in the doors. but then again sq is subjective

id love to hear it just to really understand but for now ill just take your word on it

Sounding good is subjective

True sound quality/fidelity is not, when trying to accurately reproduce music as close to realistic as possible.

On other notes:

The Lexus turned out to be a beautiful top notch install, and I bet it sounds amazing in person. Of course you always do great work Steve, wish I could hear it in person.

[looking to get the most out of xd2000 w/o alt upgrade]

Umm, why do you wanna run 18 volts?

[another stock 6.5 vid by the trunk this time]

never know cause some aftermarket is shitter then stock

The crap from Wal-Mart I would agree with, but a lot of aftermarket will blow away stock, whether you buy nice components, or get creative with parts-express.

[another stock 6.5 vid by the trunk this time]

I used to bang the stock system too, use to bang on stock 8's lol

[System was loud to me but??]

Yeah, I'd either set it with 0db tone if you listen to everything or -5db tone if you don't listen to boosted stuff.

[System was loud to me but??]

I know how you feel my system just doesent seem like its hits as loud as it did but everyone that gets in says it hits hard as fuck. Maybe its just time for me to upgrade, I want to get two JL Audio w7,s they cost about 1grand a speaker I want to get the 13.5" speakers.

for just 1 grand you can buy 2 better subs

You can buy a pair of Havoc's or Fi Q's for the same price as 1 w7 13

Well, I'm glad SSD's are getting cheaper, close to $1 per gigabyte, and dropping, want to get a 120gb ssd for windows, and games. I had a 512mb mp3 player as my 1st mp3 player, sucked lol, then I got an 120gb ipod classic for christmas, felt happy, though using only mp3's made a huge mess inside my ipod, cause I never knew what I wanted to listen to, then the 120gb broke, sold it, and luckily got my 160gb for free cause my friend thought it was broken, though he's not my friend anymore. Nowadays, I'm very organized with my ipod, making sure every album has all the songs, album art, and such, though I'm at 5411 songs, and have only 3gb left :/

Wish apple made a 1tb ipod, but the 1tb 1.8 harddrive probably won't be made for a while. Biggest I can go is with a 256gb 1.8 zif ssd, which at the price it's at, no way.

[Anybody else here run Flac or lossless files like me?]

It's all i use anymore. Applelossless that is. I love itunes and plus being a sheep and having all idevices its nice to have it all work together and I look at it like when I rip movies. I want the best digital quality I can because sooner or later 1080p will be a thing of the past. No its not needed right now but at least for me speakers get better as well besides the hipsters with cheap shit headphones that listen to 128k mp3s and internet radio all day. I cant listen to more then a half hour or so of pandora before it gets straining to listen to. have about 11,000 songs in itunes I think. Slowly been getting newer versions of older stuff in mp3 to try and switch to all lossless in the end. sucks I don't have all my cds from over the years.

Yeah, I only listen to Pandora for background music, and 128 kps is disgusting to me, I don't get how people listen to them, especially since I listen to my ipod with a pair of ATH-M50's, and CD's is cheaper than iTunes (If I have to buy CD's) and have better digital quality.

Yeah, I can see 1080p getting old, especially when my dad told me an uncompressed movie from a film takes up 22 terabytes.

[Anybody else here run Flac or lossless files like me?]

I run acc and whatever iTunes is when you buy it for me it sounded better than mp3. what's flac? Or is that like wav?

Flac is a type of lossless file, very popular, cause it takes up half the space of the wav. while retaining same amount of kps, in which sometimes, I've up to 3mps each file.

[Anybody else here run Flac or lossless files like me?]

Flac ftw I use applelossless but it's a pain to find music, where do u get urs

I download them. Sometimes I rip wav. off cds I find at the library.

I would but they take hella room.

Yes they do

[Anybody else here run Flac or lossless files like me?]

Just a curiosity, since I have a 160gb ipod with 90% lossless files, 10% mp3 320, and I always felt like an oddball for doing that but I'd like to know if you guys run lossless files too for either demo or daily use.

[super nintendo music is awesome]

Where can I find the bass boosted version?

Not bass boosted but it peaks at 33 hz at -8.3 db in the beginning, if you're looking for a video game bass song

http://youtu.be/Yi155MoyNKg

[super nintendo music is awesome]

Love old school video game music, and now I wanna play Super Mario RPG, which was awesome from what I remember.

[2 Cups BassBoosted?]

For a second there, thought you wanted a bass boost of the song from 2 girls 1 cup(read the title quickly), but either video is equally as horrible lol

[How the h*ll do i sell this thing?]

Ebay

[System was loud to me but??]

When it comes to bass, you always want more.

[that Amp "behind the glass case" - What amp DID you want that you NEVER got?]

Before I got a job (T1500-1, and T600-4)

Even with job

And of course for home amps

This is also my dad's dream amp too

[Any experience with Vibe or Hifonics]

How tight?

[Your Car's Sound System: What do you do when your finished?]

Finished, what is the meaning of this? Sure I can be happy for a while but then I can be like, I wanna new headunit, I need to recone, I need new rcas, I wanna try something different etc.

Twistedchild420 is a perfect example, he went from 1 18' to 4 12's to 4 15's to 8 15's to 6 15's to 1 13' to now 4 15's in a 4th order in under a few years, and he still wanna do more stuff, which what makes him cool.

[RF 300-4 getting super hot]

Maybe half gain is still too much gain for it. Locate someone nearby with a DD-1

[do chevy impala's get loud?]

I know 97SSblazer's Impala does a 148 at 40hz with 2 W7 13's on an RF T2500.1bdCP but you may never know for yours, too many variables.

[Boss P156DVC]

Depends on how much room you're working with, since you're driving a Mustang, you won't really have much room for either option. Ported over sealed though in my opinion.

[Audio Technix 60 Mil Sound Deadener Review]

I know I like my CVR, they do extremely well for how cheap you can them, though from my experience, they like 2.25 cu ft, so I hope you can fit 4.5 cu ft in the Elantra, and here's a pic for inspiration, that I took from SBN 2012, of an SS 03' Elantra setup.
