Thanks to all the Veterans and active service people, and like OB said, Never forget the KIA's and MIA's.
Where would this country be without these people !
Don't answer I don't want to be the thread killer here.

Heard some JL speakers in a suv today, he said 151 db's with the db meter on the dash, which at the events is called legal !
It is a neighbor who does the car audio events, bass only, I would guess 
]We were talking about HT and music when he wanted me to listen to this, he asked what I thought and I told him turn it down about 90% so I can hear something besides the bass, when we got it to sound good he said that's about where my wife puts it !
I have to say those JL speakers were very clean compared to the normal boom you hear from most cars. I would love to hear a good HT sub from that company.

Well the people on this forum must be smarter than the people on the forum you speak of ? That's a much harder question to answer.

Just think what they would do outside with 20 WPC !
You may have had a call from the father in laws house to turn it down !

This post will probably confirm the fact that I'm Looney Tunes, but here goes anyway... [:$]
It seems that I really enjoy listening much better with my eyeglasses off !
Anybody else find this to be true? Anybody care to speculate why this might be anything more than my imagination?
Nutz in Texas,

You're not looney or nuts. Or at least if you are, you aren't the only one because I've found the same thing to be true. I don't have an explanation, but I don't really think it affects the sound, I would tend to think it's probably some kind of a brain thing like how music seems to sound better in a darkened room. I think the less visual information your brain is processing, the better job it does with the audio. Make sense?
Yes it does. As they did for Homer in an early Simpsons episode, bring me your form and I will stamp it with "Officially not insane."
In reality, I am a psychology professor (not a shrink, an academic), and the eyeglasses off phenomenon is simply a matter of attentional resource allocation. Humans are "limited capacity processors," meaning we only have a limited amount of mental effort to allocate to any particular task at any particular time. When you take off the glasses, you are reducing the current visual processing demands (meaning less visual input from the surroundings), and thus there is more attention and cognitive processing available for a concurrent auditory task (i.e., critically listening to the music). However, you probably do not go completely "blind" w/o the glasses with no visual input at all, so what also probably happens is that over the years of wearing glasses, you have formed expectations about what happens when you take the glasses off; namely, you purposely don't try as hard to process your visual surroundings, so there is also a learned motivational change in processing when the glasses come off. The net result, again, is more mental resources to apply to the audio task.
Some comedian has a line, maybe it's Steven Wright, who observed "When we are driving around trying to find an specific address, why do we turn the radio down?" It's the same phenomenon. You turn the radio down to allocate more attentional resources to the visual search task.
Yes, that's what i said,.....................only much much better.[

Good luck, I'm sure you will be fine. I was with my friend all day, the one who had the same thing done over a year ago, he said it was the best thing he had done for himself .
Will be looking for the good news the first half of next week !
-
Not many in Louisiana or Mississippi, If something comes up on this end I will let you know .
-
Probably because you can't see as good without the glasses, less distractions.
Like when you close your eyes when listening to music, it sounds different, less distractions ?

Coytee, that was a very nice ![G]

N.O East is even stranger now maby 1 house out of 300 is being repaired, the police don't even want to go in there !
When we went to the French Quarter from our house passing the East there no lights from Paris road to you get over the high rise bridge, a strange sight.
Not as strange as I-10 between the lake and N.O. East, dead alligators, dear and hogs on the interstate .
The Wildlife and fisheries warned of wild animals taking back over in the subdivisions in the East.

Sorry it took so long I just seen this thread again . If you have any questions send me a message and I will measure or try to explain better , no problem.Thanks Dtel. The rise of the woofer was for other reasons besides the porting.
Thanks for the port info. Say when you say 2 1/4 high...do you mean from the from the bottom of the shelf to the topside of the bottom of the cabinet or is 2 1/4 the height of the holes in the baffle?
No the cutout is 2 1/4" that is the size of the hole/slot, the port starts 3/4" from the bottom of the motherboard and is open to the bottom . So that would make the port 3'' tall on the inside.
Also....22" wide seems a little weird as the external width of the CW3 is 25.31". That would mean there is 3.31 inches of wood thickness to make up some where. Is there a chance the width of the internal port could be 22 3/8"?
I just checked there are 3 slots across the bottom each about 6 7/8" wide and 2 1/4 tall. The space on each side of the port is about 7/8". Kind of like this
Side wall 7/8---6 7/8---7/8---6 7/8---7/8---6 7/8---7/8 Side wall
The port does measure 22" wide I may be a little off on the space between each port and each side of the speaker.
The 7" from the back of the port shelf to the fron tof the baffle...is this right?
Yes
If you stick a tape in and hook it on the inside end of the port it measures 7" to the front of the mother board, so if the mother board is 3/4 the port shelf would be 6 1/4 on it's own.
Also if you stick your finger in the port, far left or far right it is almost flush with the port, about 1/8 wider. The sidewall is 3/4" they added another 3/4" board on the inside by the port to make the side 1 1/2" thick by the port. The port starts about 7/8" from the side on the motherboard that is why their is about 1/8" difference. Port measures 22" on the motherboard but on the inside it's 22 1/4'
This is hard to explain !
Thanks for the input. As you can see....I'm nutty over details.

Coytee does your wife ever read any of the forum ?
Just wondering what she thinks of all of this ?
