Todd (Day?) wondered "out of phase to what"? I as remember(?), analysis of the road noise rumbling was done, and this noise was cancelled by having the stereo generate noise(?) of the same frequency, as far as the stereo could generate, but out of phase with the noise. If I am somewhat hazy on this, sorry. This isn't my field, and the first posting was done in order to provide another source of info for those who wished to explore more fully? - MJB -
