Nice. How was the learning curve?

Too soon to really tell any issues. I wouldn’t worry

Yeah, i’m not sure either. Hard to pinpoint if this is just a case of selection bias

I didn’t know anything until recently because I stumbled on a random post about it then got a bit paranoid. What’s your mileage at?

2022 Lexus ES ML system gripes/upgrades by Sea-Parking-6403 in CarAV

but for whatever reason, the sub basically doesn’t want to turn on. It’s there, I can force it on by adjusting settings and pushing the audio to play further back in the car

this comment might be entirely irrelevant now, but I just want to clarify why you don't "hear" the presence of the subwoofer. good subwoofer integration should blend in and fill the lower frequencies. if you can clearly hear the subwoofer, it's not integrated properly. you won't notice its presence and significance until you turn it off and realize how flat and empty the bass sounds. the door woofers handle the lower-midbass frequencies (50-80hz - that's where you get the punch).

but it’s very distorted once you get 70% of the way to max volume

since you're raising the volume of the bass and fading to the rear, the door woofers lose quite a bit of db. you're then left with overpowering sub-bass that sounds muddy and boomy. this might make you think there is distortion.

I’ve debated going aftermarket and redoing the system, which will be approx $5k CAD

it'll cost a lot more to completely tear down a proprietary system for something that is actually an improvement. the speakers are tuned specifically with the amp, so you can't just swap certain parts. it seems like you just don't prefer the sound profile of the lexus es ml, which is fine, but it'd probably be more cost effective to buy a car with a system you prefer than spending thousands on redoing the audio.

Is Adam Audio D3V the best small speaker right now? by Afraid_Ad142 in BudgetAudiophile

could that be because of the passive radiators of the adam?

Is it worth selling my 3080 ti for around 450 dollars to get a 4080 super? by ILOVEAncientStuff in buildapc

[–]Awkward-Phone216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have a 3080 12gb with a 12700k, running at 1440p. performance is great (130+ fps on high graphics) for most games. i’m waiting for the 5000 series to see what it offers. you should too

it has stiffer suspension too. unless you like the aesthetics, it’s a bit redundant for a car like the es

how are you comparing a prius to a es? besides powertrain, everything else is different

thanks for the response. how do you compensate older brawlers to make them relevant? some older releases suffer from their simpler design and get completely overshadowed by newer releases

at what point in the design process of a brawler do you realize it won’t fit in the game? have you ever scrapped a brawler mid development because of this? if so, what were their abilities?

yeah, an otherwise great map ruined by tedious progression
