Those were definitely the days. I was in Oklahoma, so we probably saw some of the same competition vehicles. And this is back before China bought PPI and all the rest of the really great manufacturers and homogenized the market. But that’s a different story and argument. :)
I had everything...
indeed I am. With the Key 200.4 sending power to the rear is a waste of what the amp can do. Bi-amp to the front stage is a magnitude better for volume and sound quality. I’d even argue that the Key is likely throttling output to handle the unsupported load on amp 1. It’s doubtful to me that...
Love it! never for a living but I’ve installed stereos since the late 80s for myself and others. Back in the day we attended many IASCA competitions (even entered one for fun). Good music in a vehicle is a must for me as a musician.
Some of my observations are clearly preferential like having...
So I picked up a 200.4 from someone who wasn’t impressed with the results they got. It came with the harness from Rad. I installed it and the first thing I noticed is how hot the amp was getting and how little gain was available before clipping. Practically none.
The sound was improved thanks...
alas. The emporer still has no clothes even if you think you are dressed to the 9s. No one else hears that. And nothing’s unmuffled. You’re just listening to a WAV file attached to accelerator inputs.
I agree with your buddy. Putting fake grill marks on a slab of Beyond Meat or Impossible Burger doesn’t make it meat. It is intended to mislead even if the eater/owner is in on the deception.
And it does interfere with musical enjoyment. Just give me the best sound we can get. It’s already...
Turned my faux v8 off last night. It sounds like a turboed 4 banger. A bit wheezy and higher pitched. But let’s be real. It sounded like that before to the world. I can finally just hear it normally in the cabin. :)
That’s a pretty steaming hot take Rag. The only way it’s noticed is if gain structures are wrong? Burbling fake engine noises played under your music don’t alter the audio quality? Right.
fact is adding amps raises volume in the front stage unless you pick a low power amp or configure it...
Sure. And the Bronco was out of production how long while the Wrangler has been built non stop. Barely 5 years back and outselling Jeep last time I looked. It converted me. I’ve owned 4 Jeeps. So suuuuuuure. You see a lot of Jeeps on the trail. The presence of Broncos is clearly on the rise...
Thanks! It’s funny but they don’t have ASFIR cut in them like their promo pic. They are smooth. Which is good in my book. The rest of the plates are awesome too.
