      Nobody said anything about SSI. Things are way different from the times of FDR, do you really need a breakdown?

      We are not all born equal unfortunately. I think the quote is really saying that your only limitations are the inhibitions in your mind. The world may have changed yes, but you still have free will and the choice to be happy

      Well I hope you don't think it meant 50 inches. That would be quite a bit of distance to cover lol.

      That really is hard to imagine something that small. 1/127,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of an inch

      yea, unfathomable.

  5. With a little under 2" mounting depth, inverted, and 35mm x-max at 70% BL, you are getting close to 3.75" without exceeding 70% BL I suggest -without looking at how it will affect airflow- trying for 5-6" internal minimum.
  6. So uhh, fliped our kubota on its side on about 500 feet or more of downhill ice... My girlfriend and I are fine, but the driver side door will need replacing.

      All that maters is that we are both okay, my shoulder and her leg are slightly bruised, but whatever.

      The door will be easy to fix as there are no electronics in it.

      scary shit. i flipped a polaris sportman while going down a icy path when I was 13. had it rolling down the hill behind me while I was sliding on the ice. still have those images in my head.

  7. That 1TB 840 EVO should be amazing! Got the 120GB version and wish I could have gone for the bigger faster ones.
  8. Bought AC3, I am sad there are quite a bit of glitches and what not in it, but whatever paid $14 for it.
  9. Having less than recommended port area still works, you just have to look at each setup and determine what you are trying to do and what sacrifices you are willing to make. Couple of examples: David Moore was doing 154+ on 2 RE MT 15's with a total of 48 sqin of aero port. In the great 12" challenge years ago, they did 150 with a single BTL 12" on 5000 watts with a single 4" aero.
  10. The boxes that I have seen JoeX post use the same formula's. Bkolfo4 builds his enclosures with it CleanSierra has built many boxes which I assume they all use the recommended minimal vent area. But do remember that these suggestions are not golden, Small stated in his second paper that the formula is only accurate up to +10%, and must use a reasonable radius for flaring. He later states that an acceptable limit is to design to 5% the velocity of sound. I however can only reference work done and documented, as I haven't been able to find the time to test it all myself.
  11. Was not a typo. 60 square inches + 10% is the best you can get without testing multiple boxes. For car audio you can go on the smaller side, but do risk chuffing. Smaller than that can risk chuffing, compression, and other unwanted disruptions.
  12. 60 in2 of port + 10% A single 8" aeroport will do well, flaring it will make it much better.
  13. I may just buy them since they are so cheap right now. The steam sale philosophy.
  14. How are the Skyrim DLC's? Too bad there isn't too much I want after the summer sale.
  15. SUCK IT GROUND NOISE! Built a ground loop transformer and very very audible noise completely vanished!

      Do I have to put behind radio or could I plug into amp ?

      Looks like the basic same thing, isolaters aren't too hard to make, but might try and find a review on it.

  16. Can AutoCAD have any slower servers....

  17. My room was getting really freakin' hot last night, which is weird since it is so cold now. Well eventually I looked down to see my gpu fan was only running at 50% while gaming, having a 65c card for a few hours sure does heat things up. lol

      my tv and computer act as a heater in my room, i think i could turn the heat off and be fine as long as i have those two running lol.

      Lol I was almost sweating and I didn't even have on the heat.

  18. My neighbor asked what he should get for a sub setup, I offered my opinion for some gear and offered to help him install it. Doesn't take my advice and makes his dad install it.

      I always ask for a budget before I give them any advice. That and tell them for every watt your system is, it'll be about a dollar in cost

    3. Krakin

      Well I did that, I literally picked out everything he needed and then he just went with other stuff that cost the same. And was so lazy he made his dad spend the whole day installing it.

      I know someone just like that. Suggested some nice AQ/SQ subs and for the same price he bought some kickers off the shelf from best buy lol.

  19. Common sense is the ability of commoners to "sense" what is true and what is untrue, without having to think about it. As a concept, common sense is similar to consensus, the philosophy that if many people believe something, they cannot possibly be wrong
