I tried the 12″ R-Series Alpines and they definitely have some boom but it didn’t have the same punch and low frequency boom that the two 10″ subs combined have. If I had more hatchback space I’d try out two 12″ subs but my space is very limited as it is. In fact I don’t think I can store the Targa top with this current setup in the hatchback.
One of the ports had a piece missing that cracked off at some point and it really showed since the port was silver in color and the carpet was burgundy. I rattled can spray painted both matte black and the look
I may replace the Visonik’s that are currently in the box with some other high end component model.
Well, I’ve been writing blogs way before it was the in the thing to do. I used to write a lot of traveling posts but since my job doesn’t require me to travel I switched over to topics that interest me.
If you’re reading this you must know me or part of my family.
Wifey cooked almost all 275 Lumpia’s during our Christmas celebration at the house. For the first time ever I’ve seen a plate of lumpia make it through the night and on to the next day. We had some serious lumpia eaters in the house!
Our less than 10 year old oven croaked and so I had to replace it before our family from NOLA arrived for the Christmas holidays.
I tried repairing the so called Whirlpool Gold model with the oven and microwave combined. It pointed to a control board that was about a third of the cost of a new oven. I figured it was better to upgrade and not have a common dual function controller again.
The 80’s bump system sounds fairly decent for what I have put into it but it does cause a surge in voltage drop when I crank it up. I’ve never used a large capacitor as a “storage” sink for current but thought I’d give it a try.
Sometimes it just looks ridiculous… I can select a 4×4 truck, Porsche 986 or a Harley or Honda. We have a couple other vehicles at the homestead not shown.
I experimented using my Fuji X100S with a pair of Canon strobes. I used Paul C. Buff wireless for triggering. One very nice feature of the X100S is the ability to use high shutter speeds due to the leaf shutters. One of the strobes was obviously used to light up the Roadglide and the 2nd strobe was placed inside of the Porsche’s drivers seat. This gave the photo more than one highlight.
I used my new to me Fuji X100S camera for this particular shot. I’ve been messing with the focusing interface such as “split” or “highlight” screen. This camera is starting to grow on me especially when using it under controlled conditions. I’m sure it can be used for spontaneous situations too I just haven’t had the chance to try it out.
I’m not using the macro feature of the camera. This is a straight photo in manual focus.
