    “Feeling” the bass

    yes but no, not to like feel it.. it's still gotta reverberate through your heart doesn't it? it's not enough to just feel it in your feet

    “Feeling” the bass

    kids these days.. just plug into a bass amp.. you're not flying around to venue's that don't have a bass amp handy are you?

    Tell me you're old without telling me you're old

    if i needed new strings i would boil them in a bathtub.. if i had done that too many times i walked to the music store because that was the only place you could buy strings from.

    More Speakers or More Cabs equal more volume?

    i would think that, the only way the same speakers in different cab configurations would be significant, is if you were comparing a single cab, vs two cabs that were spaced on either side of the stage? one cab should be spaced and sized to avoid phase issues. bass normally saturates the venue...

    @GlennA paranoid freak here... so (for the 500c) is this the actual extension jack rating? 8Ω 221W and 4Ω 400W? i have a 8Ω 250W 15" altec-lansing ER-15 plugged into it, sounds great but is that alright/safe to do? also have a 4Ω 500W speaker which i never used because i thought it would under...

    How much extra would you be willing to pay for a particular colour?

    only if it's the rarest color and there's a reason it's *% more like... because why would you care about the $ in a decade when you'll probably care about buying the wrong color.. also.. will you still want that color after you buy it? i didn't

    TRAYNOR Mono Block B and Mono Block II WDYT?

    No he did not. Pete Traynor responded to rumours that he dropped it off a two storey building onto concrete but he never did that. He said it was a 5 meter high loading dock. if he replaced a couple things that i can't remember and the unit worked, it passed. They're exactly the same, he just...

    Outdoor contractor types - Part B - running Cat 5 internet cable to an aux building?

    have you done it yet? definately use shielded cable if you can't run a separate conduit, i've run cat6e unshielded along power cables for a couple meters and seems fine but if you want to install it once just go shielded in separate conduit for overkill (separate is standard in australia).

    yea, boundary reinforcement or something. bassically the sound waves that bounce off the wall at 1/2 wavelength get cancelled out and @1/4 get boosted so theres info on the web somewhere, ill post my spreadsheet when i can. try moving ur magnets (amp/speakers) closer and further from the wall...
