whats all this about tree-hugging, then?

Question

listen, peeps, tree hugging is not cool, ok?

i mean, per - leeeze!

you're giving us men a bad name.

if you want to get close to nature, just go for a walk, ok?

Answer 1

it helps to promote saving the life of the tree, almost like tying yourself to a tree to stop it from being chopped down.
Just a way of adoption.

Answer 2

Tree hugging is very cool. Most of them don't mind too much - some are even quite amenable. Others give an (internally) audible sigh as if to say "OMG, not another blessed tree-hugger".

Going for a walk is not close enough to nature for some people. Some like to take all their clothes off and lie in the grass. Personally, I find that a little itchy.

In my owl persona, of course, tree-hugging is what we do in the daytime.

Answer 3

Tree hugging? It was a very successful movement in India called "Chipko" (means hug in Hindi) mooted by Sunderlal Bahuguna to save trees from being felled in the Himalayan region. People used to hug trees to protect them from being felled. The idea originated from the Bishnoi community, who are real nature lovers. Similar movements were successful all over India.

...and this has to do with car audio how?

Your system won't mean squat without a well designed box to put your subs in. Some manufacturers have recommendations as to dimensions of various types of boxes. It is best to find someone who builds boxes if you go with something other than a sealed box.

You should always match up RMS (Root Mean Square) watts of Subs and amp per channel as well as impedance's(resistances). When a sub has rating of 600 Watts MAX it really has an RMS rating of about 200 Watts RMS. RMS is the nominal wattage your most likely going to get out of it. Remember, a 200 Watts RMS amplifier has more power output than a 200 Watt MAX.


If your amp is rated at 4Ω don't subject it to 2Ω, it will fry.

Here is the formula for subs in parallel:

Z = 1 / (1/sub1 + 1/sub2 + 1/sub3 + ....)

For series, just add them up (sub1 + sub2 + ...).

You can mix and match these equations to get the right impedance required by your amp.

Example 1: Amp is 2 channel and rated at 4Ω, 4 subs @ 4Ω each. If I connect two in parallel and the other two in parallel and connect the two pairs in series, I would have a total impedance(resistance) of 4Ω. So to the amp, it's just one sub.

Example 2: Amp is rated at 1Ω mono, 2 subs @ 4Ω each dual voice coil. If I connect two voice coils in parallel and the other two voice coils in series and connect the two subs in parallel, I would have a total impedance of 1.6Ω. Which would be perfect for a 1Ω stable mono amp.

You should use a capacitor as well.

Recommend for every 500 watts MAX you use a .5 Farad cap
Example: 1000 watts MAX - 1 Farad cap

You will also need what's called a "line level converter" if your stock head unit doesn't have RCA outputs or your amp doesn't have high-level inputs.

If you like I can send you some plans for reference. My plans are for a 4-th order band-pass bass box (A.K.A. bass-reflex) that holds two 12's.

Also included are java calculators you can use to figure parallel and series values given Ω values, tips on box building and types, calculating port diameter and length(if used), calculating box dimensions for types of boxes (sealed, wedge, cylindrical, etc.), materials needed and even how to make a jig for cutting perfect holes for your subs.

My system

Blaupunkt TSw1200 subs with a Sony Xplōd XM2200GTX.
My amp is 1200 watts (200 Watts RMS X 2), subs are 600 watts (200 Watts RMS) each, cap is 1.5 Farad

SPL is about 112 db each sub

Total cost(so far) = $410

Answer 5

What rock did you crawl out from under? Caring about trees...a metaphor for nature..is more civilized than anything we can do today, male or female!

Think about your statement, take a walk? What good would it do to take a walk if all you saw was concrete>?!?!

Answer 6

I hug trees because it makes the tree feel good. LOL

Answer 7

Trees love to be hugged...just like you and I!

Answer 8

has a tree ever refused a hug?maybe some people just find it reassuring...

Answer 9

Surely you know that a TREE-HUGGER... is a ZEALOT... RIGHT?

One that values one spotted owl over 1,000,000 people.

One that doesn't understand the FOOD CHAIN.

Most people are not like that.

Answer 10

I reckon those tree hugging clowns need tree-tment.
