      I don’t mean to shit on your speakers... I find it ironic that you have gone from one of my favorite speakers, the Dahlquist DQ-10, to my least favorite, anything from Bose... ;-)

        Uh. Just looked up the dq-10, they are really, really ugly. Which probably means they sound amazing.

      Good news, I pulled the grills of my Bose 901 series ii, all the drivers are in great condition. Nice for something from 1974.

        Not bad if you have no job and/or outside interests. At one time I was in a band, had a job, and college radio station manager, and 12 hours was almost too much.

        Yeah, the menu looked better before, then I messed it up somehow. Still working on that. Wow, I never checked my resource usage, never realized it used that much. Yeah, probably could just set max frame rate at 30fps or something, if I can figure out how to do that.

        Yeah, some sort of explosion type thing would be good, not too hard to do either. It does make a new window, ill have to see if I can make it not do that. I originally made this game with a partner for a computer science class, but we never got it fully functioning. Since then i have just been improving apon it. Most of this GUI stuff is completely over my head.

        I also have enemy infantry which I have not added to the game yet, but would be simple. Right now it adds birds when you get to a certain score, and as your score increases, increases the amount of enemy birds and horses spawning in. Though when too many spawn in at once, they kind of spawn on top of each other. Ill have to look into that too.

        That's the plan. Already set on big and small speakers. I just hope the surrounds are in good condition, but either way, only $50. Also picking up 3 computers with 2 monitors for $50 to upgrade my computer and maybe make a music steamer.

        And we confirmed that in the anechoic chamber, with small distances, and outside, with large distances, there is a 6db drop for every time distance from source is doubled.

        In France I was able to get them direct from a fisherman for $2/lb in the shell. Which is basically $10/lb after I process everything. I've paid far more for frozen and tasteless scallops.

      I can get a pair of JBL 4699B for $400... do I do that to replace my current 15" woofer jbls? My current speakers need a new woofer anyway..

        Yeah, but my current speakers are part of the jbl sr series, so still meant for that. And one of the woofers has a saggy voice coil that is rubbing. Though I could replace it for around $150.

        Recone kit is around $100 and I could just get a used woofer for $150. But I think I just temporarily fixed it by flipping the woofer upside-down.

        Honestly the size of my closet didn't upset me, it was how much I paid for it. I want to say it was $450/month(from memory) to share a room with someone else in College Station, TX. I could have gotten an apartment off-campus for less and I would have had my own room.
