Well....I'll be ready to meet tomorrow night. ...after work, of course. But, my AND THE CAR will be there.
And as far as the problem? All I can say is....sometimes, the littlest things can seem so damn big. And, quite frankly, I'm embarrassed as all hell. Why? Because when I put it up on the jack stands, I saw the problem right off the bat. I mean, I went right to it...almost like I KNEW what it was. But, for some reason, I refused to believe that something SO damn small could have caused THAT much vibration and shuddering. Good freaking Lord... I just bought myself one of the biggest :facepalms: ever. ... but on the other hand, I will say that I had approx 5 min to put it up on stands, look at it, try to fix it, and then make a decision on whether to tow it or not. I did what I thought was right...but had I held out one day (until after I got home from work), I would have fixed it on my own. Oh well, live and learn. One GOOD thing that came out of this.... I had a vibration at 80mph to 90mph possibly due to the front end radius bushes. GONE. i don't know what they did. But, they did something. No more vibrations....which means I might not have tightened down the bolts enough. I don't know. but, it's PERFECT now. So, there's the update. Still looking into the Focals, JL, and other goodies. Might not be for a month or two, but I DO think it's going to happen. |

Well...speaker stuff is on hold. The washer finally took a dive the other day. So, I had to think...repair?...spend money on that still not be exactly sure if that was the problem or something else? Figured the pair is 10 years old. Might be time to upgrade...get some better, energy efficient, larger machines that will actually save us some money in the long run and save us time from having to do 4 loads of wash a day. $1,800 later...this is what we got...
Oh well, at least it was on something needed...and will get used every single day... Samsung - 4.7 Cu. Ft. 11-Cycle High-Efficiency Washer - White Samsung - 7.4 Cu. Ft. 11-Cycle Steam Electric Dryer - White |

Well...some good news. Dryer will be here tomorrow.
And even better news. The wife mentioned my desire to upgrade my blown speakers to something that will last for a while...and could be changed out to a new vehicle if necessary. Here's what I got picked out. LC7 - Audiocontrol Six Channel Line Output Converter With Auxiliary Input ECX690.3 - Hertz 6x9" 3-Way Coaxial Speakers 165 V30 - Focal 6.5" Polyglass Component Speaker System XD600/6 - JL Audio 600W Full Range Class D 6-Channel Amplifier And I need to find a good set of tweeters that can handle a bit more power than 50watts. We'll see. Looking around. But, this looks like it's going to become a reality in Dec. |

Focals are great speakers, but I went with Alphine processor so I could keep all my OEM stuff together, not sure about the one you are planning, and also went with Digital amps no heat issues..

I don't know how many watts the Diamond tweets handle, but they can make cymbals sound true at ear bleed volume.
Also used to hear a lot about CDT audio for true sound but never used any of it.
