    webmaster@carstereos.org Let me know what has been going on up until now, if you've been in contact with Adire I don't want to have recones floating all over the place.

    Transportation Electronics in Hopkins, MN

    A few years back an associate of mine went there to get some suggestions... Walked out furious after his constant bombardment of "it won't sound good unless you have at least 2 sets of focal utopia's up front." He had bought a nice array of relatively new drivers from CDT, and had an ID...

    I do - I still have the jig also - I'd have to check on assemblies though as I don't have any left and I'm not sure what the status of things is.

    Crossover help needed

    Because if you don't see it done right, you'll never have a grasp as to what you are doing and why. The proven designers out there are thurough, have the equipment to test the drivers, and will explain what was done and why. That type of knowledge is worth the cost when you can not only get the...

    Teckla

    Agreed. I've 'uninstalled' some old work from teckla... Whoever taught them that applying bondo to ABS plastic was a good practice needs to be punched in the head. /rant

    Crossover help needed

    95% of the time a single tweeter will keep up with multiple midwoofers/midranges due to driver sensitivity and auditory sensitivity relative to the midrange(s). Actual impedance is going to be a factor of the drivers used, enclosure applied, and crossover network itself. If you aren't...

    Reciever for >$900

    I have the year prior 3805 - it is a solid unit and works quite well - I quit using the main channels when I threw on my B&K 4433, but it definitely has some snort and a gob of features.

    Movies with good LFE content

    Well if we want to talk about the movie itself - that solo was average at best. The comment I made was directly involving the annoying LFE though, which you for some reason decided was a comment about the movie itself - this thread was the discussion about LFE in movies after all, which is...

    Central Region Any SQ competitors in Minnesota??

    Should be at least 3 - Jake (lives in a condo in St. Paul), Jaime (the guy that lives in SLP, he's got the biggest yard out of the people we know in that region), and Erik (lives in Shakopee). There will be some others driving through that way, if John comes he has to drive all the way from...

    Movies with good LFE content

    More to life than staring at a subwoofer moving - believe it or not. I realize that statement doesn't sink in with 95% of this audience, but eventually it will in a decade or so.

    Central Region Any SQ competitors in Minnesota??

    Yes when we have one in the M/SP region it's right in St. Louis Park usually - we're doing one in Morris on the last weekend of this month, you're welcome to join in (you could carpool with some of the guys, at least 2 people will be driving right near you.)...

    Movies with good LFE content

    That'd be the heat ray... It's semi-entertaining, but completely annoying after a while - the information just sounds unnatural - I ended up shutting off the sub stage to finish the movie. Definitely strong though!

    Central Region Any SQ competitors in Minnesota??

    We bounce around quite a bit actually - End of June is going to be at my house in Morris - then we have one sometime after that in St. Louis Park (typically late july or so) - the one in Morris is actually planned out and set up - probably dust off the termlab and get that going and we have...

    Central Region Any SQ competitors in Minnesota??

    Yeah... I hear you on the WI ones - that's why we just gave up and do get togethers during the summer months. As for the rest... Well... We've watched a judge get hauled off by the police - for skimming the entry fee, owners at Innovative caught them. Had judges show up late, to almost every...
