Woahduds reacted to Phate.exe in Speaker filler
I was only really using it on subwoofer enclosures, but yeah, because the sealed box I have my 2 12in kenwoods in was a bit on the small side, polyfill did improve their sound quality. When I stuffed the box I'm using with a single 12in kicker, it greatly helped eliminate a weird boomy resonance (which was fun if you wanted to be obnoxious with bass, but was annoying to tune to sound nice.
The 2x12 Kenwoods didn't really have an issue with it like the single 12, but I did notice apparently flatter frequency response from my subs after that, which made them much easier to tune.

If you wanna be obnoxious with bass, equalize your sub. With a fair bit of work, you should be able to get 2x12" below 15Hz with flat frequency response. Having said that, you may well need a new amplifier. Around 300W RMS per speaker is a minimum is this department. Also, the kinds of voltages across the speaker terminals with that kind of amplifier have a very real potential of killing you!!
Wierd boomy resonances suck!! The speaker set that came prre installed in our house has this, it is very responsivve around 100-120hz, but nowhere else.
I have never tried with or without filler, in either my sub or midrange/tweeter enclosures. It was so cheap, I just bought a sheet of it straight up, and it was just enough to fill all my boxes. If you do get foam, make sure it is open cell, as other wise it will probably degrade sound quality. The acrylic 'wool' i bought was very easy to work with, and didn't leave alot of mess.

If the speaker boxes are sealed, you definitely want to place something along the lines of speaker box filler of fibre glass house insulation inside the box. The presence of the filler makes the enclosure 'appear' larger to the individual drivers, this lowers their resonance, making more low-end.
It will also help reduce speaker box resonation, especially for subwoofers.
If you want to improve low end and have a subwoofer, I would recommend getting and active sharp roll off crossover at just above the -3db point of your midrange. That made the biggest difference to the low end on the stereo system I made a couple of years ago. If you want even more low-end, add a linkwitz transform circuit to equalize the sub. I managed to get an 8" driver with flat frequency response down to 30Hz. However you need some serious power requirements. I have a true 120W RMS amp output on the sub (achieved with BTL). (Don't confuse this with the PMPO marketing crap)
Speaker grills are pretty useless and can actually change the sound. (probably not if you get decent ones) I personally would only bother if you have a cat/small person who will poke the speakers.

Woahduds reacted to Dang3r D3bbi3 in (Android) help me install Lineage OS
1. rooting is gaining admin privileges/rights to a system and allowing you to do ANYTHING you want (ex: install any app, etc
2. The kernel is the bottom layer of the OS and what is runs on (the bedrock layer if you will)
3. Greenify, http://www.androidauthority.com/best-root-apps-android-269022/
4. SU Remover most likely means Super User Remover and probably allows you to remove anything whether bloatware or system apps

Woahduds got a reaction from SpencerBoughtAnXbox in Which Headphones should i buy?
sony if you use it for traveling and want to cheap out a bit, i have a pair. Bass is very boomy, mids are laid back, its in the background behind the bass, and highs are lacking. but good if you can get them for around 80-100

Woahduds reacted to johnt in Trigger vs a normal 3.5
Most likely yes, but it really does depend on your product. Each company does it a little different. For example, my Emotiva amps can use a stereo 3.5mm cable for trigger. My Crown XLS will not function with a stereo cable. It just shorts the circuit.
Why don't you give it a try? You won't hurt anything by trying.

Woahduds reacted to spwath in Trigger vs a normal 3.5
Yeah, no reason you wouldent be able to.
EDIT: just try and see. It should work.

Woahduds reacted to Pomfinator in speaker amp only for 2.0
Buy a cheap used receiver then if you have the space for it. Cheap Class-D amps are notorious for high noise floors, as well as clipping and tons of distortion at higher volume.

Woahduds reacted to SSL in Tube amp that can power headphones and speakers
Well, taking a close look at the "TubeMagic", we should get out of the way the fact that it has pre-amp tube outs, NOT speaker-level out. So you would still need a dedicated speaker amplifier get the system working.
If you want a toob, get a Schiit Vali 2 and a speaker amp capable of driving whatever you cable cobbled together. Run the tube pre-outs from the Vali into whatever amp you end up with.
Without knowing the specs of the design, I can't recommend a speaker amp; I don't know enough about drivers and whatnot to be able to say what would be a good fit just by looking at a parts list.

If a dentist took a picture of my teeth and a picture of someone else's teeth and stapled them together, no way I'd pay for that.

Woahduds reacted to Just The Tips in I tried making a Desert eagle animation in After effects
This is my first time trying to do some sort of animation/motion graphic with after effects, so uh yeah, not much else to mention here...
http://zippy.gfycat.com/AridBlondDoe.webm
I also made an extended version that looks a bit "eh"
I spent most of the time actually drawing the assets for it in photoshop lol
I'm surprised how easy it is to get the hang of after effects, I literally only watched half of a tutorial and then I started working on this
I think the best part is that they loop pretty well lol
It's obviously not perfect, so what can I improve on in the future? I know the case ejections have a weird trajectory and the "fast" shots look pretty wonky, so what else is there?
