    Posted: 22 January 2005 at 11:46pm

Evening gents.  This is my first post on the tippmann forum.   Perhaps I should have introduced myself prior to making such a negative post, but oh well whatever.  What I wanted to say is that I find it rather interesting that everyone is so quick to jump on the new player when they ask questions that have been answered in prior months.  Granted, I try to look around allot before I ask my question to attempt to find an answer.  I have an old car a 79 vette and I am a member of 1/2 a dozen forums that I use to find information, about maintenance events etc.  Therefore I know to look before asking.   But what I have noticed is that on those forums people are willing to help.  If I ask a question that has been answered.  They often will find the link and give it to me.   Or they will re-type what they have said in the past.  You see, the reason that is is because we realize that we are all members of a select community.  A group of people organized in protection, and maintaining things that we love.  Paintball is the same way.  So I am going to ask why people must be harsh and rude in their ignorant treatment of newbs.  I have never experienced this on any of the other forums to which I am a member?  Perhaps this is why paintballs reputation can at times be questionable.  What is a practical solution to this I ask?  I think it is simple, if people realize that they are not gods gift to the earth, and remember that at one point in their life they where newbie’s as well.  Furthermore, if we treat each other with humility and grace.  And truly try to help each other the PB community will begin to grow, become even more competitive, and draw in younger audiences, resulting in larger revenues for the pb developers, and fields.  This will benefit us through better equipment and better arenas.  So this is what I charge you with.  If you are enangered by repetitive post, then simply don’t read it or respond.  If you are so childish that you must flame those whom do re-post then grow up.  Help people for a change instead of showing your rear ends.  Just my 2 cents.  79

I dont see flames, I see harsh responses but no flames.

Yes we should be kinder to newbs, but if I ever am harsh to a newb its due to lack of thought behind a post or thread.

There is a difference between a newb not knowing and a newb being an idiot.

ElCid79:  Good post.  Welcome to the forum.  You are right about other folks needing to realize they are not gods gift to the earth;  there is only one of me.

Engage your brain.

You're talking about a sport played mostly by 10-30 year old males-who's main purpose in life is to make fun of each other, and then you question why they jump on someone they can make fun of as soon as possible? For someone who seems to have "thought this out", you didn't do a whole lot of thinking.

Also, seeing how I'm the resident grammer teacher, the word enangered doesn't exist. Try using angered next time.

Just 'cause you hang out with relatively normal, patient people, doesn't mean you're going to get any sympathy from us.

Excuse me, but you will take note that Pariel, though perhaps a bit harsh, was civillaized when he posted, whereas in your reply you resorted to name-calling.

Great way to back up what you are saying.

one of the interesting things about the vpower, at least when i got it, was that they reported true wattage.. not peak, so its a 200 watt amp....   also, the sub has a 200 watt amp... why you might be asking did I spend so much money on the speakers, and head unit,  and put a boxed sub in.... instead of doing a complete custom job...   here is the answers.. I had priced a completely custom setup with a 400 watt farenheit amp, i think it was 400.  but the problem with this was, no matter how i looked at it I would loose the use of the only storage space in my car.   this is a big problem in a T-Top.  Oh, also the site is allittle out dated.  I have changed many things.  such as the boxes the rear speakers are in, will be gone when i put her back together.  they where temporary to see A how i liked the kenwood excellons, and B I new i was going to be completely redoing the interior in a matter of months.   they will return to the original locations in the far back of the car.   Overall the system plays louder than you ever could want for it too.  The speakers are all of about 2 feet away from your head.  So the smaller sub, which fits under the enclosure screen, which is why i picked it, is MORE than ample for the application.  Also, the component front speakers balance very well with the kenwoods.  they give a very wide frequency response and accentuate the high to mid range audio superbly... then the 10' sub fills in all that is needed in the bass line.   overall it is a strikingly well balanced system, in a car that was TRUELY a pill to decide upon parts for.....  Also, when a car is pushing 475 hp,,,,  the sound of the motor is like music to the ears...

Pariel, that was definately not needed in this thread. He made a thoughtful, intelligent post; his first post at that. You had to just go and knit-pick at it didn't you?

Darur, yes he was civilized. However, being civilized does not make it any more acceptable to be an ass to someone who did not deserve it. ElCid made an intelligent post and should be commended for atleast that. There was absolutely ZERO need to Pariel do say what he said.

ElCid, welcome to the forums. Keep up the posts as you have, and you'll go far (once the star system is fixed that is).

yup... its a 200 watt class D on the sub...  then the lil vpower does the highs and mids...  i set it up with a low pass filter,,, err. is it high pass i dont remember... so it filters out all of the bass...  sends the signal to the front's where it is processed again... splitting it between the remote tweeter, and the mid range... it also filters it allittle more... then the rear excellons cover everything except the bass... those little excellons are AWESOME speakers, love those little devils...
