Turns out my new HU has a pretty nice 2way + SW setup.

Any cheap 2 ways ideas and a 12" sub that likes 2.25 cu ft @ 34Hz?

Don't know if I posted but the work + vacation trip in France was awesome. Drove the Jeep there and back, picked up a low-mileage engine for the Miata on the cheap, visited some nice cities and the world's biggest ice cave.

Next stop Frankfurt in 45 minutes

Damnit! 

I will have to be in France either in October or November again, most likely for 2 weeks, I'm pretty much free to plan my dates. What is your travel schedule? Let's work something out and meet in Paris!

And right before the trip I tore down my oil pump to find this in the strainer:

Of course some small bits got through and I found scratches on the oil pump end plates, so come next oil change I will also change the oil pump. 

 

But props to the Jeep, only annoyance was a broken fuel return hose (I carry a spare hose with me) and it took me 5 minutes to replace. 

After we got back home (the wife-to-be) flew in on Thursday and we left on Friday, we went on a Jeep trip, toughest one ever, with trails on the mountain ridge, at over 5000 feet and I managed to bend my steering stabiliser, so now whenever I turn left, the car sounds like a barn door opening :D

Interesting, perhaps that can be arranged.  Definitely have a trip upcoming in November and will get the dates next week as the whole team that is coming will be together.

Aaron, website says you are out of Xcon's.  I need a price quote for one with shipping.  I see they are $473, can you tell me what shipping is?  Might say out of stock since I am in Europe, but stock isn't super relevant now just the price.  I need to get this to the shop where my stuff was jacked from...

Xcon 15 to 55391.  I also tried Icon, Zcon as I figure the shipping would be close but also out of stock in 15 according to the website.

Putin is watching!

Should I call him up and ask him to stop?  I haven't had dinner with him in a while.
