  3. Looking For New Computer

    in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice

    Posted

    Yes you can run more than one OS on a machine, you just boot into the other one when you want to.

    If you want a fast running machine i would say get a desktop over a laptop, because one, for the power, desktop would prolly be cheaper and for the money, a desktop will be more stable than a laptop.

    As for brands, I'm not sure what you should go with, I mean a lot of gaming PCs are durable for just regular usage. I only own Apple Computers and I have been out of windows for 3 years now so I couldnt recommend a PC.

    But I am familiar with Alienware and I would say they are good PCs but they do have a hefty $$ load.

    I forget the other type but there is nice Gaming PCs for round 1000. I am saying Gaming PCs because they are going to have the fast running speed you want. they will have some of ther higher end components that are meant for speed.

    for 12 subs (18"s) i dont think you would be able to get enough air space inside that box, I would do the front six, maybe 8, then have good size box with properly tuned port.

    I guess it would all depend on the subs and the tuning on how big the box should be, but i would assume there may not be enough air space for 12 - 18" subs..

    Also, only porting half would mean half your subs would be hitting different frequencies than the other half?

    and also, the sound waves from each half make interefere with the other half..?

    Doing simple logic here...

  5. Components With Clear Highs And Thumping Lows!?

    in Mid's and highs

    Posted

    Well you are all right, I know i want more than what im going to be able to find. but guess what, if there was one place to ask, i've come to the right place.

    I will not be running an amp, which i know means less bass for most comp systems.

    My headunit is decent and my stock speakers have some good bass, i just rather have the thump thump than the pop pop when im hitting some bassy lines.

    I think my tweaters are fine if i can atleast just get a good midbass speaker i'll be set!

    $100 a pair wont kill me, thats basically my price i want to stick around. I would need 4 speakers, so $250 or less for 2-pair.

    I think the Infinities are decent, i've heard em before, but im still looking for tad more bass than what they offer.

    I hear that focal has some really good speakers

    Yea I've heard about focal when i first got into car audio years ago, they were popular among my friends. But i dont know about their bass? I thought they were more mid to high range?

    I want to try and get something that is good with low to mid to high

    the cadence CVL series are good. they are not the cheapest ones out there though

    I heard of Cadence subs, buddy mine had 4 12"s in an S10 walled up and was pretty crazy but i've never heard of their speakers before. If they aint cheap tho, i cant do it cuz im cheap! lol

    I use Morel in my home speakers. There 5 inch mid/mid bass woofers crossed over at 75 hertz 12 DB and sound great when I have to unhook my woofers when theres company in the house.

    So I figure the Morel car audio should be as equally impressive.

    i heard jbl components are actually pretty good, and some what cheap

    Yea I think i've heard of them, but i havnt really heard much of them being some amazing speakers yet..?

    Cheap is good as long as its giving some quality sound.

    i got some infinity comps, i really like the sound of it

    How does the bass sound? What model infinitys you got?

    also try the line TMA. they are a lower priced division of JL Audio.,

    Well lower price is better lol, I'm not trying to spend crazy money but yea I want to at least get some good thumping bass and clear highs out of some speakers

    and another thing, if you plan on getting components, you better get an amp. no components sound good with 18 watts going to them. you will clip the hell out of them. so be prepared unless you want some coaxials.

    Thats the thing, I'm trying to get good bass out of the speakers without wiring up an amp or system... Thats kinda what I'm going around.. I know its difficult to get good rich bass deep bass without an amp but thats what I'm trying to do.

    I'm just trying to swap out the speakers i have right now with some better speakers. As far as i know I got 2 tweaters, 2 front door speakers and two rear speakers..

    BTW, what are Coaxials (for my lack of knowledge)

    I got me a 2006 scion tc.

    I want to swap out those factory speakers.

    I want some recommendations from my knowledgeful SMD friends here.

    This is what im looking for:

    - Highs that can go loud and stay clear

    - Mids that will sound good on all music genres

    - Mids with "sub-like" Bass!!

    ** I'm not putting a system in my car for a while... so for now, I want some components that will put out a good amount of bass without powering them off an Amp.

    Thanks fellas, the inputs are appreciated!

  16. New Wheels For My Ride!?

    in Interior / Exterior / Paint - Detailing, washing, waxing,tricks of the trade!

    Posted · Edited by AlpineGuy87

    So, here is my ride.. and I want to do something bout the wheels, I love the stock wheels they are clean and go well with the car, but you gotta go custom.. so i want to get some nice set of wheels..

    I'm not sure if I want some all black or black with chrome lip or all alloy, or chrome, i really am not too sure. I want it to shine and get attention and look good, just as they should! But I dont want anything "BLING" or anything.. thats why I really dont want chrome unless it went well.

    So any suggestions would be slammin'!!

    My price range is ANYTHING UNDER $1000.00

    Right now these wheels are 17"s and I would like to go with 18"s, 20"s being the max but I'd rather go with 18"

    Remind you of my ride... or those who have not seen it.. This is all stock, no added performance or nothing, so this is what you get out of the factory, eventually I will add intake, headers, exhaust for some performace and sound.

    Here is my vid, (Its' manual so if you turn up volume you can hear me peel in 2nd gear

    BTW, the Sound is slightly off cuz I used my cell phone and its not greatest quality, plus it was at like 630 in the morning.. lol

    Enjoy

    I kept watching for a change in the pics and it still looks like a scion? :blink::P

    Sorry bro, j/p j/p 'cause I like big vehicles lol. Out of any smaller foreign car thats about the nicest model imo.

    I love how nice black vehicles look- and yours DEFINITELY looks clean :D

    Any plans for the trunk?

    Thanks man, im still puttin' the green back in the account right now, lol.. so right now its just minor upgrades, nothing too pricey right now,

    As for trunk, it is very possible there may be something in there one day, not sure yet though. we'll see.

    I like it, if you dont mind my askin, what % tint is on ur windows, im thinkin bout puttin some 15 on my girls tc for her b day in a couple weeks.

    Yea I have 15%, It looks great from the outside and the interior is dark so it makes it seem even darker. At night, at times it seems bit too dark if the area around you isnt well lit up, but if you know where you are your ok lol.

    In other words, I wouldnt go darker than 15% especially if the interior is dark cuz it will appear even darker anyway.
