Agreed, lets not discuss the issues, lets just get some topics.

I am with most of you guys on speakers, I can throw something together and make it work as well. I just want to know exactly how all the different speaker parameters affect the sound, and what each parameter describes. A lot of that, I suppose, has to do with electronic knowledge that I am so ignorant about. ALSO, I would like to delve into amplifiers. John Alvarado told me to search out "Slew Rate" and "Dampening Factor", then study up on that. He said that would help one to understand some of the working of the amps and how it can affect the performance. Of course those two aspects are just touching the surface I'm guessing...

I don't know the most about enclosures, I'd love to learn what Ryan does and knows about them.

i mainly lack in the area of fabrication. I know enough about audio in general to put a half decent system together for my self or someone else- and install for my self and others.. but if you gave me thorough box plans, and some tools, and left me for a few hours, well you'd come back to find that the sheet of MDF you left me is now several piles of disturbingly ugly cut scrap board, and the saw and tools are scattered across the floor, broken.

lol

I'm an awesome fabricator. Just practice a little, you'll definately get better.
