alan everytime i see that you have made a post on this thread i get excited and then a small part of me dies once i see theres no progress

Coefficient of friction?

He has me check it out also. I am hooked

Coefficient of friction?

The coefficient of friction (COF), is a dimensionless scalar value which describes the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together. The coefficient of friction depends on the materials used; for example, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction, while rubber on pavement has a high coefficient of friction. Coefficients of friction range from near zero to greater than one.

For surfaces at rest relative to each other , where is the coefficient of static friction. This is usually larger than its kinetic counterpart.

For surfaces in relative motion , where is the coefficient of kinetic friction. The Coulomb friction is equal to , and the frictional force on each surface is exerted in the direction opposite to its motion relative to the other surface.

Rougher surfaces tend to have higher effective values. Both static and kinetic coefficients of friction depend on the pair of surfaces in contact; for a given pair of surfaces, the coefficient of static friction is usually larger than that of kinetic friction; in some sets the two coefficients are equal, such as teflon-on-teflon.

If you look at a chart: concrete to rubber has a rating of static friction=1 when dry. Concrete to wood is = 0.62 dry.

Metal to wood is only 0.2-0.6 dry.

But that's all notwithstanding anyway, since I'll be using both, I was just saying for the idea of physics.

Go to bed Alan.. you turn into a super nerd when you don't sleep.

damn sub already got ditched for a car resto next he'll be sellin the sub for car parts lol..im more excited for the car the the sub......i think.........

Lol I didn't ditch it. Like I said, I put the order into sundown for the last pieces I NEED to finish the sub.

I just figured I would rename it so people would stop complaining about over-all car and system updates.

To make this clear for the LAST time: THIS SUBWOOFER WILL BE PUT INTO THE CHEVELLE AS THE DAILY SYSTEM. BUT I NEED TO RESTORE THE CHEVELLE A LITTLE FIRST SO THAT IT CAN SUPPORT THE SYSTEM AT ALL. IM NOT DITCHING THE SUBWOOFER, I'M WAITING FOR THE LAST PARTS.

Ok, to show you I'm serious about this:

I really can't beat JEGS prices on most stuff. That same panel is about $670 at the cheapest anywhere else on the internet.

That truck freight even delivers to residential addresses for no extra charge. I'm thinking most my parts will come through JEGS, they're got great customer service.
