Post Number: 7615 Registered: Nov-05 | how do you have the arrangement? i run a dls a3/a4/a6 .. dls ultimate nobelium tweets in pillars and 6.5s in pods.. then some illusion audio nd 8s in the doors. ive been considering running the dls dome midranges but idk.. if anything i could switch up to a 4" midrange.. the 6.5 is a great midrange and dont get me wrong i have no issues with them but i wonder how much difference i'd have in the midrange itself running the smaller driver. more than likely if i change anything soon it will be from the cda9887 to something that runs optical so i can run optical in to the h701 substage is two sealed SE 12s .7 cubes each from 15hz-40hz on the dls a6 |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13071 Registered: Dec-03 | http://www.glasswolf.net/cars/charger/charger_307.jpg I made pods to hold the 3-way sets, aimed the way I wanted them for imaging. That way I didn't have to cut the rather rare factory power window control door panels in the car. Everything can be removed without damage to the car. This also allowed me to cover the pods in matching black speaker grill cloth, so they blend in. As you can note above, I have a lot of foot room to work in that car. It's not like a modern car where foot space is pretty cramped. |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 7621 Registered: Nov-05 | i used to run a 440 magnum with a 727.. pulled a 8.25 that fit in my car and swapped for some 4.10 gears never will i run 4.10 on a daily driver again! lmao .. then i bought a new silverado.. and ended up selling the car.. wish i still had it but of course it was my first car too so it holds that special place haha |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13090 Registered: Dec-03 | yeah even for strip use I stuck with a 3.73. On a 3 speed, you just can't drive on a highway with a 4.11 rear end. I am going to add a GV overdrive tail unit, so I can add overdrive, but that's a big chunk of money for one that can handle 1200HP. I like the manual valve body on my 727 though, and the transbrake. That thing launches like a Saturn V I actually had to use a nitrous controller for a graduated onset so I could hook with DOT slicks. If I had all 18lbs/min of nitrous hit at launch, the car would never hook. My 493 started life as a 1972 440 magnum super commando engine. The only thing left stock though is the block itself, which was actually fully machined and clearanced for the stroker kit. |

Silver Member Username: Sleste8Shelbyville, MI United States Post Number: 107 Registered: Mar-10 | wow, nice setup. i think im in mopar heaven lol. and yeah, our 66 el camino has 4.11 gears with a mini-spool. you have to yell to the person next to you when your doing 60. then you have to stop at the nearest gas station. that's only got a 350 and 400 trans tho. 450hp at the tires. best time at the 1/4 was a 12.03 |

Gold Member Username: FrkkevinTeam DLSSuperNatural... Post Number: 7622 Registered: Nov-05 | if i had the money and time i'd do another mopar.. they just are not cheap to build lol. i guess neither is my subaru thats in progress :-/ |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13096 Registered: Dec-03 | yup my friend's 71 SS454 Elkie (468cid) has 4.11s and a 3000rpm stall in it with a bit over 600HP, and that thing is insane. I finally sat down last night and uppdated this page a bit, too. http://www.glasswolf.net/cars/charger/index.html |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 2130 Registered: Nov-07 | hey glasswolf - i was poking around your site and saw that you are into cycling i am looking to get into cycling a little bit. i am looking into road bikes and have a budget of around $500. any suggestions? |

Gold Member Username: BonhamdTraverse City, MI Post Number: 2131 Registered: Nov-07 | im not opposed to used either - just havent found anything. ive checked out the local shops here in traverse city as well i found these online http://aroadbike4u.com/product/jamis-ventura-sport-63309-1.htm http://www.treefortbikes.com/#navbar=pro___333222347050___42 |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13100 Registered: Dec-03 | try www.bikeforums.net look at the for sale section. That or CL is where you'll find a decent bike used. The stuff I was shopping for was in a higher price bracked (about 2X your budget) so I'm not too sure in the $500 range. If you do want to spend a bit more and want a cool bike though, check out a company (used) called Kestrel |

Gold Member Username: Philly306Sorry, I have a new 20... Post Number: 1552 Registered: Apr-07 | i too have admired your fuel ex. You gotta love the giant pivots they used on them a few years back. What year is that one? 06? 07? those oclv 110 carbon frames aren't cheap daniel what are you looking to do on the road bike? race? or just recreational? |
|
Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13111 Registered: Dec-03 | mine is an '06. Bike was about 6 grand new, plus the Mavic SL-R wheelset was about $1100, then added the pedals, different saddle, Maxxis Larsen TT UST tires, few things like that. It is a fun bike. I like carbon frames. I'm a big proponent for carbon frame bikes. lateral stiffness, smooth ride, and about ten times stronger than any metal frame material, including steel, aluminum, and titanium. Lighter, too. The Kuota Kebel is about 15lbs fully built. I bought the Trek used from someone when it was a year old, and paid $3500 for it. |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 5073 Registered: Apr-05 | Glass, How deep are the Dynaudio 8" drivers? I've been pondering grabbing a set for my car but am having a notoriously difficult time locating a good set of 3-way components with an 8" woofer. I wish Inifnity had a set from the Kappa series, but nay. Dynaudio seems to be the best bet. And how would they fare for running sub 100Hz? JL has some stuff, but the drivers go way too deep. |

Platinum Member Username: GlasswolfColumbia, SC USA Post Number: 13122 Registered: Dec-03 | Rainbow, DLS, a few others make some really good 3 way systems, too. The Dyns are fairly shallow, and sealed drivers. They play down quite well. Mine roll off to a single 18" that I cross over at about 50Hz so they go at least 1 octave below 100Hz. The thing to be aware of with the Dyn set though, is that they use a very shallow first order filter network for their 3-way setup. It's really smooth, but that shallow slope @ 6dB/octave makes them not an ideal candidate for aggressive power and audio. They're designed to be very laid back and smooth. The only good way around that limitation is going fully active. http://www.dynaudio.com/images/auto/mobile/pdf-mobile/DYN_MW170.pdf the DynAudio MW170 midbass driver is 88mm deep |

Gold Member Username: IlluminatorUSA Post Number: 5076 Registered: Apr-05 | Thanks! That would be ideal, actually. And it is fantastic that the Dyn's are so smooth; I'm going to use the speakers for my SQ oriented sound system. SPL has become a "been there done that" thing and I'm not too keen on heading back in that direction (maybe that's why I'm not here as often). SQ has been a much more rewarding endeavor. |

Silver Member Username: 420pimp2Post Number: 875 Registered: Jan-06 | When it comes to car audio theirs some veterans on here that's for sure. I've learned alot off of this forum over the years. Hope to see some more oldschool audio enthusiasts on here and it good to see some come back and chime in from time to time. Shout out to all of you. Peace |
