    Jbl s3?

    Hey everyone, Just curious if anyone has any experience with the JBL S3's. I'm in the market for one or two subs that can push around 800 watts total. I haven't been on these forums in years... So any other current popular suggestions would be appreciated.

    so what do you think broke in my car?

    well i bought the car with like 120k on it and they said they had a new clutch, now i highly doubt it was put in at 120k.. probaly more around 100... and it was never adjusted right, i had to do that so i think that added to the wear and tear plus being my first stick, living in NJ, and the car...

    Bringing a speaker down 10 db's..?

    long story short.. i need to bring down a 4 ohm speaker down 9 db's using resistors.. how much resistance would i have to wire in series to accomplish this? 12? (16 with speaker)..?

    WinISD - noob port question

    ya know... i dont know if i like a front stage..

    i love how james always treats everyone like a piece of shit, trust me its alot more complicated than a couple clicks on the balance knob. i guess maybe my problem isnt the left speaker because it seems like its coming in front of me, maybe ts the right hten cause it seems like its coming from...

    ya know... i dont know if i like a front stage..

    but like i said its not only the signals voice that is a problem, its everything, and probaly more so on "non mono signals" like is aid in a previous post.. if the left instrument plays out only th eleft speaker, it sounds like its coming in front of me.. and the right speaker will sound like...
