It's called "confirmational bias" and easy to prove with a simple double-blind A/B test. Lamp cord is far from ideal, but it's biggest downside is simply too small of guage , and easy to resolve. If they really want ultimate speaker wire, pure silver is it, and less than $10K, good luck of...

So where is the Titanic when you really need her?

Is the "Wide Load" banner optional on the ocean?

My definition, anybody two working ears is a "sound tech". The difference is in their training to understand what they are hearing and why. We all started out knowing absolutely nothing, and we all are usually on the same path hopefully moving forward, but always at a different place. I make a...

You can't realistically compare a typical 6x9 car speaker with any 12" in any way except that they both produce sound, ignoring what the particular 12" speaker is designed for and intended use, ie, horn loading, ported bass reflex, acoustical suspension, infinite baffle, passive radiator...

Well, it appears that controversy is finally settled based on who has awarded you the first "like" on your above reply. I'll add mine. My experience being in the industry over 5+ decades has been in nearly every case, listening to two different solid-state amps of the same...

Baloney, this detail (which was not explained) among others is flat out wrong, "You need the amp to be well below the rated max speaker handling and then everything will sound tight and nice." Besides stating the obvious, "In the end, it's up to the OP to sift through experiences presented by...

I do not doubt your experience. I do question the basis for your conclusion from it. Guitars and their speakers create music, car speakers are normally tasked with reproducing it, a huge difference.

Well then, we disagree, a true infinite baffle is not considered to be an "enclosure". Any enclosure can become when large enough an infinite baffle. There is no industry wide standard of exactly when that occurs other than when speaker mounting no longer effects "tuning", a rather imprecise...

A foam speaker enclosure has a tuning component, whether its beneficial to the case at hand is subjective and likely happenstance. There is likely no magic to the foam, other that its likely cheap and lightweight.

NOTHING could be further from the truth. I am not questioning your end results nor compliments received. Under powering any speaker is a recipe for distortion and often leads to speaker overload as fed signal goes square wave as the amp clips as volume is increased. Now if you are the main...

That is misconstruing what is taking place. At some point any space when it becomes large enough relative to the speaker behind the speaker is effectively called an "infinite baffle". It is intended to provide no tuning, period. Nearly any size trunk meets that threshold with 6x9 speakers. As I...

That is a tough question. There are so many variables at play here. One issue is/was the speaker itself designed for a tuned cavity, most likely not. I personally think in a typical car environment the effort/costs/time etc with proposed solution is not worth the small potential for any...

The Battleship "Alabama" on display in Mobile, I toured it for 7.5 hrs and still did not see everything. Very impressive.

The "United States" docked for the last time recently in Mobile Alabama before becoming an offshore reef off the coast of Florida in the Gulf. I was lucky enough to have toured the ship while docked in NYC in 1960.

Yes, that piston/cam match is off. What are your plans/use/goals for the car?

I wish I had more time at the Fort. For those who have never visited, it's a many decade with real life hands on examples of fort building technology and artillery as they evolved and eventually became ineffective and obsolete over time.

Summit, picked up a SB water pump block off plate, and got a GEN 3 Hemi windage tray I plan to dissect and install into a RB pan. to eliminate the sandwich style tray. Next, I picked up a stick of CM aero tubing for some behind the grille bracing. Sightseeing at Ft Pickens Pensacola, saw some...

Be nice. My take, I assume we are talking EFI here. That being said, most systems being return style, the pump is pumping at max flow fu;; time, and what, flow is 110%? of what max HP demands, assuming a single speed pump that is a lot of fuel, that is relatively cool, if engine is running, it...

Just got home 3300 Miles, 42mpg Had 2"deep quarter size hail in WV on Monday Pm, complete white out on I77, that was amazing. Trip was resounding success. Pics Thursday
