I guess I should look at sig system info more often. Thanks! I have the the Antimode 8033S II and I prefer them over the MiniDSP because they are so easy to setup and use. You basically plug in the mic, press a button and get out of the way for about 20 minutes. I use mine to tame the response of my sub a bit (there is a nasty 45Hz peak) which makes it easier to set up Dirac's levels. Without it (or a MiniDSP) I have to set the sub level very low to keep from clipping in Dirac. The MiniDSP is definitely more versatile and customizable but is a lot more trouble IMO and I didn't need all that adjustability. Does the antimode do time alignment between subs, is it even a factor? |

So are you using Y cables to split signals? or are your 8033S II boxes connected to the Subwoofer Outputs? |

So are you using Y cables to split signals? or are your 8033S II boxes connected to the Subwoofer Outputs? Right now I'm only using one 8033 for my HSU sub and using the internal 3 band PEQ of the SVS for that sub. (I keep intending to use my other 8033 for the SVS but just haven't gotten around to it.) Anyway, the 8033 is connected to the sub output of the RMC-1L and then feeds the sub from it's own output. So it sits between the processor and the sub. |

I use the Left and Center sub outputs of the RMC. Why not just use Dirac to level the sub frequencies? Because there is a very large and narrow peak at 45Hz from that sub and it's location. I have to adjust it's level way down to keep it from clipping the Dirac tones. The MiniDSP did a great job but the Antimode does what I need by pushing a button. It also serves to flatten the sub's response when using Direct mode. |

Excellent!!! Broke in a new bike (named Idalia, she arrived the day before the Hurricane) and a new two week old wheelset successfully. According to my Apple Watch I burned off 3340 calories so the after meal was earned! Completed 102 miles in 5hr 7min 8sec(course link ridewithgps.com/routes/44362123 ) climbed 2837ft(mainly rolling hills) highly pleased with how far I’ve come fitness-wise, just needed a little 🔥 lit under my ass to start. I have already set my sights on Greenville,SC next October to ride in a Gran Fondo (one of 5 annual cycling events)put on/sponsored by George Hincapie, www.hincapie.com , and if I can manage to schedule time off this coming May, I’ll participate in one of his other rides in Chattanooga. Both are within driving distance from Tallahassee, so now I have to start working in more hill training, which I’m looking forward to, and some specific weight training as well. Needed the next goal(s)and these are it. |

It was capped at 350 riders, so I’m assuming 350 though I’ve not seen an official count. Interestingly enough, I’d say at least half the riders I talked with before, during and while eating spaghetti afterwards, were from outside the area. The oldest rider was an 85 yr old local gentleman, I would love say I’m still riding at 85. Managed to get a picture from one of the volunteer photographers, below. If it’s not obvious, that’s me in the deep red jersey and white helmet. Attachments:

Where'd 'ya put the spaghetti while riding? |

Where'd 'ya put the spaghetti while riding? In the first 10 miles, I latched onto a group of 7 riders(all in their 50 & 60’s) that were all looking for others to work a pace line, so my/our time was more easily accomplished working as a team taking turns at the front. Otherwise my average speed would’ve probably been somewhere in the 18.5mph range. |
