Now that Steve gave us his idling Buick, I've finally been inspired enough
to mike the Frogs, something I've been meaning to do for a long time.

Stereo track, but you'd better have a damn subwoofer for these, folks.

TFrog (1993 LX 5.0) sports Dynomax UltraFlows, now with "performance H-pipe"
(what a joke) in a straight-back LX exhaust.

CFrog (1993 GT 5.0) has the Dynomax SuperTurbos with the GT turndowns.

I played with the mix a long time before I got these. Even so, the bass
rumble tended to overpower the system. You only get to hear them in my
driveway, sorry.

I never get to hear the tailpipes, myself, since I'm always doing the
driving. Now I have to figure out a way to duct-tape the mics to the back of
the car while running the mixer off of the car's battery, so I can get that
cruising rendition.

Hmmm, I think I hear a whiny power steering pump on TFrog.
Here's my truck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVNLDf-palg
Not much subwoofer material from the camcorder though.

Good ear. Something for sure is whining under the hood. So far, I've
replaced everything powered by the serpentine belt, some two or three times.
I should be able to tell what that sound is by now...

Your truck sounds like a tenor - from above. That may be my problem - the
mics were underneath and off to the side, where they were sure to pick up
the bass.

(But, hey, I got stereo! Told my wife I was buying the recording equipment
for the piano, but little did she know...)

My ACS340 is getting up there in years, but the 6.5" sub can still still
rattle pens off my desk. :)

"Classic Rock". Love it.
Sounds good!
