Focal Seal

How loud is my system?

I have A pair of 6.5" Focal Access (165 A1) hooked up to a bridged Kicker KX800.4 Amp. And for the bass, I have a Kicker CVR in a sealed box, hooked to a 150W (300W, running 2om) Rockford Fosgate Punch.

I know it's pretty much impossible to tell me how many DB I should be pushing, but based on the speaker specs, ect, should it at least be over 100db? And also, do most of the db's come from the speakers, or the subwoofer? Thanks.

I think it's safe to say ur over 100 dbs. If you want to gain more dbs, then port that CVR... Kickers tend to love ported box instead of being sealed.

And yes, most of the dbs come from your subwoofer, but some can come from your speakers if they're actually louder than ur sub, lol

Focal Character $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In any narrative, the focal character is the character on whom the audience is meant to place the majority of their interest and attention. He or she is almost always also the protagonist of the story; however, in cases where the focal character and protagonist are separate, the focal characters emotions and ambitions are not meant to be empathized with by the audience to as high an extent as the protagonist (this is the main difference between the two character terms). The focal character is mostly created to simply be the excitement of the story, though not necessarily the main character about whom the audience is emotionally concerned. The focal character is, more than anyone else, the person on whom the spotlight focuses; the center of attention; the man whose reactions dominate the screen.

Focal Length $93.99 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The focal length of an optical system is a measure of how strongly it converges (focuses) or diverges (defocuses) light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length; that is, it bends the rays more strongly, bringing them to a focus in a shorter distance. In telescopy and most photography, longer focal length or lower optical power is associated with larger magnification of distant objects, and a narrower angle of view. Conversely, shorter focal length or higher optical power is associated with a wider angle of view. In microscopy, on the other hand, a short objective lens focal length leads to higher magnification.

Yet another decoupage question....?

Okay.. So I have to ask a few more decoupage questions.
1. Do you have to paint the surface you plan to decoupage to?
2. If so, is acrylic paint okay?
3. what do I seal it with?
4. Anyone no where i can get a decoupage for dummies book?
I have tried 2 boxes so far. One was ..well, decent. The other, ..let's just say, that box met with an untimely death.. I would like to use nothing but tissue paper and achieve an antiqued look as the "base coat" and continue with a antique postcard as the focal point on top(hat box). I am off too Hobby Lobby, which by the way, none of the employee's have an iota of X-mas cheer here in Shertown! Give me hand if you can, if not pray for me.. It might get ugly...... : )(walking away talking quietly to my self) Thank you!!!

1. Do you have to paint the surface you plan to decoupage to?

Not really, because you'll *automatically* be sealing any porous surfaces when you apply whichever decoupage medium you've chosen underneath each added paper, etc.
I think you can decoupage onto practically any surface as long as you are using an acrylic medium to do it (may need to sand slick surfaces a bit first), and many things are acrylic:
...Mod Podge and other "decoupage mediums" like Royal Coat (Plaid's other decoupage medium), Beacon's Liquid Laminate (an acid-free "decoupage gel")
..."white glue" (thinned with water usually)... should be permanent white glue for decoupage, not "washable" "school" glue
...clear acrylic sealers for wood, like Varathane, etc.
...acrylic mediums like gel medium or gloss medium, etc.

2. If so, is acrylic paint okay?

Sure.

3. what do I seal it with?

Any of the things above can be used on top of the papers...even non-water based sealers/finishes/etc at that point

4. Anyone no where i can get a decoupage for dummies book?

Here's some links to lessons online:

> and continue with a antique postcard as the focal point on top(hat box).<

The postcard won't be as thin as the other papers you're probably using, so if you want a final flat surface you'll have to use lots of coats of stuff on top (drying between each), or you may want to see if you can at least peel part of the paper off the back of the postcard.
Or you could photocopy the postcard, or do some kind of transfer (more work). If you were to print it as an inkjet, you'd need to spray it a couple of times lightly with claer acrylic to keep it from bleeding.

HTH,
