meade did u meter

satillite radio? that would be a bitch but still possible

[ChevyBoy]

EXACTLY what he said ^^^ but you know what, the CD is going the way of the 8 track IMO so they better figure out a way soon to get harddrive/chip/memorystick Mp3 media involved. 

dont some radios use that now? can u use the internal hard drives in comps? dont some eclipse's and others use memory sticks?

[emperorjj1]

no it has to be cd... reason being is because someone could alter the track and add bass...

[meade916]

yup thats the reason.......RETARDED AS HELL if you ask me considering your SYSTEM still has to do the actual work.  Another reason i dont give a shit about competing. "Oh that burnt CD or MP3 might be altered and boosted somehow".......big fucking deal boost it as high as you want your amps and subs still have to reproduce the sound.

[ChevyBoy]

thats what i was just wondering steve. if u could put cd-r's on there. guess not now. so it has to be an original cd? they actually check it?

[emperorjj1]

yes originals... to be honest i c where your coming from meade but witout that rule it would sorta eliminate the idea behind bassrace, streetbeat, bass boxing ect. lol anyone can get a spl burp wonder that peaks at 50hz or we enter it into streetbeat then play whatever they want with the 50hz sine wave in the backround and all of a sudden you have 180 db on "music"...

speaking of 180db whatever happend with scott owens? did he start over?

I'm with Steve as far as that being a RETARDED RULE...GRANTED: You could use a modded CD, he's right your system still has to hang w/ that kind of track material and not TEAR ITSELF APART. IMO, it's an "I built it" thing concerning the installers' knowledge of physics and what it takes to sustain that kind of energy transfer for the 30sec-2minutes w/out anhiliating your equipment (i.e. enough electical back up/support to pull a "180db" AVERAGE not burp and not overheat/melt/torch products) regardless of track material. It's like saying My modded cd is unfair if it makes my 1-12" sub in a well built setup score better than 2-12's in a poorly built setup or poorly designed install. It's more likely to be a function of my knowledge of woofer tolerances, box design, product matching and "how pressurizing a cabin" and providing ample current to my electrical components w/ out roasting them.

It seems kinda like FIREARMS LAW.

Outlaw the "bad guns" idea. makes no sense.

End rant...for now.

lol i guess that makes alt of sense for the higher range guys... but for the lower classes i think cd only... mp3 for yall thou sounds good

[meade916]

Whether its CD, Mp3, record player, real 2 real, 8 track or any other media......your SYSTEM still has to reproduce it.  Thats all im saying.
