  17. Where to learn how to drive a manual?

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    Like I've been looking for someone that owns one for about a year now... Nobody has one. None of my parents/relatives, friends of them, NOBODY. Haha, I've come up with 2 ideas at this point...

    -Go test drive one with no experience..

    -Go to the DMV and see if they have one

    .. I mean those are the only 2 things I've thought of.. I've watched a lot of videos on it, and I mean it can't be that hard.. But I still want to try it just to say I can.. (I might even switch to one if it's how I think it is..)

    But anyways, what should I do?...

    why would you even want to learn a stick?

    It's fun and you can save a little bit more on gas

    That used to be true but any car now especially 07 and up you get better gas mileage with auto as well as faster acceleration(hence why most in the High End Drag race scene changed to auto's way faster reaction time than a human could manage)

    and still not nearly as fun, auto's are gay including the auto clutch ones they came out with

    I hate multiquote being broken on this forum......

    Skittles - I've used enough aluminum cone woofers to know they have a bright or tinnish sound to them in most anything but a bandpass enclosure. I've also folded several cones on drivers 15" and larger. Does this mean DLS has these issues? Dunno, but aluminum has a spotty track record for me and many others. Might work perfectly fine for the OP as he may never push them as hard as some of us do and maybe doesnt like transients or output below 25hz very much which requires decent amounts of excursion.

    Korey - Point out what DLS has done differently than every other aluminum cone driver before? To me it looks like a woofer with the same parts as every other off-the-shelf basket/spider/2-slug setup out there. Just with an aluminum cone.

    like i said, it all depends on the type of sound you like. metal cones are more accurate but that usually means they are more harsh as well. if you are actually an SQ person then you will have the means to EQ and take that harshness down to eliminate ear fatigue. but some people like the bright sound. they are not meant to be beaten all to hell like an SPL woofer. so if you do that, its your fault you folded the cone, not the speaker's. its just the nature of metal, it doesnt flex so much until it becomes a bend and it doesnt go back to its original shape. the paper actually flexes more, but it wont bend and it does go back to its original shape. its not an engineering thing, thats just how those two materials react.

    if you know what your doing cone resonance means nothing, especially if you know how high the freq it resonates at
