I have eight employees who rely on my business to feed their families (as does Luke and many others). While this is a hobbyist forum, there are many members here who do come in for knowledge-and also allot of proven professionals. And when a guy like you gets a little too much reading under their belt, tons of misinformation starts to flow. Then, we get to dispell this crap on a daily basis with someone who reads garbage posts from people like you. This results in a loss of money and time-both of which our families rely on us to provide.

You need to grow up. Like Luke, I don't get involved in this type of post often. But you are a nuisance. You have proven this with every post you have made. You spend your time picking on for sale posts and creating drama. We are here to share ideas, learn, and educate. Your posts do none of that. Guys like you come and go over the years on these forums-we have seen dozens. You will fade away with time too. But until then, I get to listen to TR members walk in my shop on almost a daily basis quoting how ridiculous your posts are.

Good thing is, me or one of my guys has explained off axis theory quite a few times recently, and been able to properly educate many members in the last couple of weeks. So, it is proof that some good can come from even posts such as this...

All this being said, I would encourage you to come by my shop and check some things out. I think if pointed in the right direction, your love for audio may be able to get channeled in the right direction so that you can do some good for others. If you give me some notice, I could even get this actual car in this post to be here for you to listen to personally. The owner is the rep for JBL and this car is getting the new MS-8 installed this week. The new results will be staggering as this car already sounded incredible.
yea your "big boy business" mind is the same one that came and said that you doubted my competition experience. So when you actually stop being a hypocrit and show that you are truely big boy then you can talk to me matt. until then this thread is useless.

explain 2 things..how do you have off axis when a speaker is dome (aka 180 degree dispersion) and how does a simple opinion of a car (which i showed pics of what i was giving an opinion about) turn into something this big..oh wait i know that answer its because everyone hugged the nuts of the car and when someone came and "nitpicked" at it they felt it was their duty to swing from the nuts and bash the person who had an honest opinion.

Btw a person whom isnt a member here and actually does work in NY sat in this car back at SBN. His feeling was that it wasnt anything special and that it wasnt much better than his own vehicle. (which isnt SQ by anymeans but does have some good quality sound)

for big boy business i guess the fact that i was recruited to diagnose and fix problems in "beast from the east" truck from NY back at SBN 09 says nothing about the quality of work i do. oh well tampa isnt my area and you guys can have it...I know my quality and know people call me in my free time from a full time job to get stuff done...and people who have competed in comps have had builds done by me..i just have nothing to prove to you guys..come to a competition and walk up to me and be a man about things..you'll see that quality is done in time..(aka when money and time are available)

It helps equalize the distance of the speakers from the listeners ears compared to other locations such as the stock locations. I would have also installed the tweeters there as well as the component set were designed that way. Putting the tweeters on the a-pillar makes for a more difficult installation when the quality of the sound is the ultimate goal.

First off, the "BEAST" is a hunk of junk. That guy has been a forum troll for almost 10 years knows almost nothing, and pays people way to much money for way too junky of work. That thing looked like it was built by a 3 legged cat. So bragging about troubleshooting that is like winning a spelling bee against a bunch of 3 years olds.
WHAT have you built? As the old internet saying goes, pics or it didn't happen.

You're not listening, but i'll try 1 more time to educate. A dome does not provide 180 degree perfect dispersion so proper locations are still important. A dome does give more even dispersion than most regular speakers do. And a dome is not a perfect half-sphere, so you've got angles to calculate in there. Even if it was it still doesn't provide perfect dispersion becuase a speaker only moves on one axis - forward and back. For almost perfect dispersion the entire speaker would have to expand and contract equally along every fraction of every direction. Doesn't work that way. Physics is a neat thing, it's not optional and it is always in play.

So I take it that internet saying doesnt go for you...i mean i went to check out your work after you attacked mine and dont see much for pictures either.

Go to my website, there's an entire page! Probably 20 system pics with a couple car pics. And there's plenty of basic stuff i dont put on there to save loading time.
Next question please!

Oh, and I have no problem giving credit where it's due....some of the work on there is not just me. A few of the bigger builds have multiple hands in them. And many of the cars have only my hands on them as well. I'm pretty much done doing big showy flashy cars though - it's hard to make a living sanding for days at a time. Plus it's no fun!

I laughed at the BEAST from DA EAST statement.. If I remember correctly anyone that has ever owned even some coaxials was over trying to help him when he was there.. 1/4 million is supposedly what he threw into that truck trying to comp with steve meade and he failed..

This went way off topic.. thats a nice car.. looks nice minus the decals but I assume for the discounts(hopefully pretty hefty discounts for those decals) they were necessary, good install, probably sounds much better than the Candeshop and his ALL KNOWING self...

ok kyle...i'm still waiting for all of you who talk about my pics on flspl to show what you've built...not what you've had built in your vehicles...only 2 things on my car that i havent built myself... 1 box and 2 rear pods...neither of which are in my car anymore...engine, tranny, distributor, new box, false floor, door panels (which arent completed) all have been projects i've done single handedly.

I mean....dude!! Your switches are even all wacky! That's just a couple straight lines. Details man, details are critical. If you get those panels wrapped in anything other than 2 inch thick fur they're going to look sad. You say over at FLSPL that you've got potential "customers". You shouldn't take people's money for that kind of work.
Look I'll give you a little credit, since these are your first build. It could have gone worse. You didn't resin yourself to the floor, and your car hasn't exploded. Keep building and each thing you do will get better, as long as you give up on your attitude and take advice from people who are willing to give it, and know a heck of a lot more than you do.
Edit - Everyone have a super weekend, I'm headed for the airport right now...see ya's Monday!

ok explanation for the switches being "wacky" is that the panel isnt even close to smooth yet...thats only after a little filler...you are so quick to jump to conclusions on something that isnt completed yet...i'd love to see your fg work 1/4 of the way done and show you the criticism that you've showed mine.. but then i'd end up looking like a fool because it isnt a finished product.. thats like clowning on an R&D product before it is even released to the public as a finished product for sale.
