    I watched it for the first time in our Jr High School's Auditorium back in 1982...twas a 9th grader back then! lol

    Lunch was only 35 minutes so they showed two halves of the movie in consecutive days.

    I loved it when Jimmy Page turned to look at the camera and his eyes were beaming with light.

    Also enjoyed seeing Robert Plant's family strolling through the green valley by the river.

    No matter how advanced car audio gets, there’s two sounds that I will always love. The dull vibration of the baseline (like in Heartbreaker and others) and the scratchy static sound of dropping a needle on vinyl.

    My truck sounds amazing except that it doesn't and I'll tell you what I did, except that I won't.

    There's just no way people are gonna trust you without a signature like this, and you start saving souls along with all those other miracles that don't exist...

    Just checking in. Did this ever go anywhere? I'm guessing not.

    OP pulled out his OEM system...installed a 20" OLED touch display running apple m6 cpu, rtx 5090, with combined android/apple car play. Everything is integrated into the steering wheel.

    OP has the best sounding 3rd gen.

    “I need to start quoting myself so I can have a badass signature like OP”

    Edit: I feel so quotable now!

    He reminds of this dude that i worked with years ago. He would refer to his job as mixing "crispy sizzling beats".
    His solution to eliminating feedback from a vocal mic was to push the stage further back behind the P.A (small room) rather than hear the freq and attenuate it in the EQ.
    Dude was a fuckin wack job.

    nope.

    he asked about a peak at 41hz in his setup, i asked for the specifics of the gear he's using. he replied that he's a wandering audio nomad.

    whatever that is.




    and for the record, i'm probably the only one on this entire forum that ever ran a car computer in any vehicle.

    the final setup was a pentium dual-core processor with 4gb ram, on a zotac 9300 nvidia mini-itx board, outputting to an 8 channel sound card. the expensive parts were then-$300 120gb ssd, and a custom $500 transflective(used both a backlight, or the sunlight) optically-bonded capacitive-touch 7" monitor...

    and all of it was done just so i could perform the same audio settings as my current $150 dayton dsp408...
