Morgoth

I get you

Ya, was just giving some info. Quality car audio is expensive, and it's pointless spending a lot unless you're a real enthusiast or you live in your car. Better to dish that cash out on home audio instead these days

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Yea the one I was referring to is the one in your image, the "bandpass enclosure." This uses a more rectangular shaped porthole than a normal vented sub and is good for what is called "high SPL" numbers, basically the bass frequencies used for hiphop, but you can also use it effectively for low-bass music. The trick is the positioning of that hole, there is a way and a place to do it corresponding to the size of the cone, and only the real pro brands do it properly. Cheaper brands will just position a round hole wherever, and the cone is going to wear out fast becos of the built up air pressure, and the whole thing won't last for long. But yea, a vented sub with a Rectangular hole is best, IF you can find it. As for an active sub/passive sub, that's your choice, the active ones have a "crossover" circuit which will reduce any distortion problems. But with great technology comes great cost Your other option is to get a more powerful amp, get a cheaper passive sub, and install a seperate dashboard equalizer/crossover. Actually you will get way more control over your music than just slamming in an active sub, but if you don't have a critical ear like me, or just use this to blast some noise out of your car, active sub is the way to go.

Yea I was also wondering the same thing? Because in the night that road seems empty, but during the day its packed with trucks that don't move But it seems to be a road cos it's extending from far off.. Ah right I get it, there seems to be a little lot annexed to the road where the trucks are kept.

Are you serious? I'm assuming they charge a lot who came up with that kind of money?

When you say any brand, it depends on the brand. There will obviously be a difference between an Alpine system, and some cheap "Poineer"/"Pineer" audio set available from Pettah. Generally for hip hop you'll need to hear some solid bass, so you should go for what is called a "vented" subwoofer, there will usually be an open port behind the cone of the sub(for hiphop it's best if this hole is more rectangular than round), which expands the bass and really make your heart thud But remember, there's a way of building the sub like this, you don't just poke in a hole anywhere in the enclosure. So again, unknown brands, I wouldn't know how it goes, and Korean systems are not the best. If it's not built properly, your woofer is going to fail after a relatively short while, or you're gonna turn up the volume one day at the Navam carpark, and "boom," the thing is literally going to blow. Then again the size of the box has to correspond with the cone, otherwise it's going to sound bad after a while. And believe me, most cheap systems are like that. Only thing this will take up a bit more room, but best thing is to make sure the guy who's doing the fitting knows what he's doing. Just ask him whether the sub is vented or enclosed, and try and find a sub where the ports are more rectangular. (As far as I know they're not common in SL, I did see one at P&&&O couple of years back). And if he doesn't know the answer, run away Or hell, just do like what most people do, screw the physics and slap on whatever comes, only don't blame me if you find you have a hearing problem in a few months, or if the amp/sub/speakers don't click with each other. And make sure you get an amp which is generating more than enough power for the sub as well as the auxiliary stuff.

Have you looked into all the myriads of factors you should look at before getting a sub/amp? If not at least try it out first, see whether the sub gives you properly defined bass, and whether the amp really goes with the sub or not. Is it an enclosed sub? From what I've read I assume you're a hiphop listener. Does the amp have a low-pass filter? If not all you're going to get is a hissing sound from vocals and a belching kind of bass. I have friends who went and spent a lot on their audio systems, without knowing what they were doing, and the end result was pure crap. Plus since if it's unbranded, more the chance that the components may not match. But you're a music producer, I'm guessing you know all this/have checked it out If not, do so, before busting your cash on something that may suck.

Me too obviously

It's something to do with disconnecting the positive terminal while the key is in the "on" position(not running of course). I know someone who tried that and it worked, but in the end they were cheating themselves because after all the car needed an oil change I think there are a couple of other ways to do this as well, but if you value your car best thing is to look after it as it asks

Oh no

There are ways of resetting that lamp by yourself, but I don't think that's advisable, at least not before taking care of the problem And yea, best to let a mechanic do it

From Wikipedia: Suicide doors is a term used to describe automobile doors that are hinged on the trailing edge, the edge closer to the rear of the vehicle. The term reflects a perceived increased danger of the door falling open if it becomes unlatched while the car is moving. Because of the obviously negative connotations, the term is avoided in major automobile manufacturers' promotional literature, although it is familiar to many English-speakers and often used openly in the custom-car trade. In addition, the door arrangement instills other negative perceptions. While the vehicle is parked, such a door would hide an entering or exiting passenger from the view of passing cars. Furthermore, the result of the door actually being hit would likely be more catastrophic, since the door would be slammed shut onto the passenger even if merely nicked at the outside edge. A door hinged at the front, in contrast, would be pushed away from the passenger and possibly torn off entirely. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_door

Far as I know those are most commonly timed to go off when you need an oil change.

Yea it looks like something that would've featured in a movie in the 80s. It has EU number plates though, so must be a relatively recent idea

I wonder if Merc has come up with the idea, maybe you could sell it to them Any idea on how you rotate the vehicle?? Wonder what it's like using a joystick to take a turn on a real road. Unless this was built for straight lines

http://www.simplesevens.org/SB2116/frame2116.htm This is a Page Stevens (gender not mentioned ) and something about a Lotus. Looks like this guy is a mystery horse. With a nice stable.

They still might have to make RHD/LHD versions seeing as the speedometer is on the Left side in this one. Why not just dump that in the middle as well. Btw how do you turn this thing

Who is this guy? All I get on Google is some wedding announcement from 1987 and even that I dont know if it's the same guy. Nice collection. Though I guess its a matter of having enough money to buy up all that.

I edited mine, now edit yours

Still, there's a pic with a 3wheeler saying "Taxi"

The song was probably produced by Nanotechnology Records

then that is one YOUNG mba holder. GOOD for her

MBA? wat, mental balance affected? No offense to her, but she's only my age..I don't know any 20 year olds that have MBAs in any field. Or is it a joke...Well I donno where you get your info but im quite wary

Imagine a Bajaj puttering along a highway at 120kmph
