Thanks for the thoughts. Amen, amen, and amen. That's actually a HUGE part of this idea. I hope you'll agree: There's fewer people today who are true enthusiasts, fewer people who would read a whole book, fewer people who want to be experts. The cynic in me says "this is just a continuation...

Good points, definitely worth responding to each- apologies in advance for the length :p Fair point on the graphic design aspect, but think "simplicity" not "complexity". Intuition is the goal - less, not more. As mentioned, I'm a 25 year plus IT consultant specializing in BI and general data...

More my personal reaction to the suggestion of writing a book. Me: "No one reads books these days. Everyone has ADD these days and expects instant access to everything, spoon-fed at their level of knowledge" So - not a training, but a resource. In fact the concept of "chapter order" I think...

(NOTE I'm asking around the forum communities, one at a time, so you may see a similar post elsewhere) About me, if anyone cares about "why me": I've been a moderator at several forums through the '00s, including the long-defunct CarAudioForum.com (RIP). I'd hate to look at my registration...

I need your opinion - I think you'll like what I'm possibly creating, so please read. It's your best interest that I'm shooting for. Please leave your opinion below. There have ALWAYS been the stupid questions on forums, Facebook, etc... ALWAYS been the "is this any good" and "should I buy...

$120 shipped for the PG amp? I have a good friend who is looking... although personally I want that amp myself, lol...

Maybe"wakin' the dead and rockin' the living?" That would make more sense, lol...

Yes - sealed boxes are less sensitive to small errors in internal volume than other types - but it has to be included with any box calculation.

I could be wrong on this, but I believe you already mentioned that this WAS imported from Japan... I thought that deck was only available as an OEM deck, as part of a premium system on a Subaru Legacy that was only available in Japan (sort of like Mark Levinson OEM systems that are only...

Those are very similar to the 3" fullrange TB drivers that I bought for my line array project, actually. I had started by trying to find 2" fullrange drivers, and I auditioned a bunch (Aura, HiVi, TangBand, and a couple more), but none of them really sounded accurate enough. I auditioned some...

A lot depends on your component set, a lot depends on your car's acoustics. I've traditionally been a fan of keeping the tweeter by the mid - kickpanels can be tricky though, doors aren't usually too bad... ...but ever since I started working with Focal comp sets, I don't think I've found one...

Well, you can do this the expensive way, or the inexpensive way, or the easiest way of course. Your time and risk have expenses attached to them as well, don't they? The expensive way would be to order online from Select Products, or one of those fabrication supply centers - of course, they...

That shop owes you for their mistake. That's the most amatuer mistake an installer could make. If they won't (I wouldn't settle for "no" though - hard to dispute it's their problem!)... you can fix it with silicone adhesive. Try to get the adhesive on the crack edges of the loose "flap", and...

Yes, but the problem would be the resulting differential in power routed to the two different speakers... With one 8 ohm speaker, and one 4 ohm speaker, the 4 ohm speaker would be getting 2/3 of the power produced from the amplifier, with the 8 ohm speaker receiving only 1/3 of the power...

Oh - what I somehow failed completely to mention: Yes, there can be a small difference in SQ, accreditable to the box - but ONLY in that the port and cone aren't quite "in phase" with each other - and since we're talking about cycles of around 60 cycles per second (for 60hz, example), that...
