Have a great day!

Is it human nature to take all forms of criticism and instantly assume the person giving the criticism is trying to insult you personally? I know I used to think that way, I no longer do and now it seems like, to me at least, that a lot of people think that even constructive criticism is insult based. When I try to help people, I try my best to make it seem like I am helping or at least trying to. But there is always someone who wants to assume I am just insulting them, even when I try to explain I am helping, they still think I am just trying to be mean towards them. I bring this up from a recent Facebook conversation where someone assumed I was trying to insult them a…

how many of you have seen inexperienced people buy amps for the peak number to match up with their subs... I know my amp sucks but that's also why i'm replacing it all Last night I went to radioshack with my friend for something and in the parking lot this dude was wiring up his subs. So I walked over and was giving him a hand and what not. He's like "yeah I just got this amp and it does like 1200watts which is perfect cause my subs need 600 each. I don't want to be a dick and rain on his parade but i'm thinking actually that amps only doing like 300watts... anyone else have any stories they care to share

I see a lot of people gettin into car audio lately with some pretty decent setups, a lot better than the average joe going to the shop to have their stuff installed. Any of you ever thought about competing? I used to be like a bunch of you... Thinking competition is too professional. Been doin it for years, know way more than what you may know... Well you know what. That's not the case at all! Many people i have met over the past several months are newcomers who have grown a lot since their first competition. You meet many people who have plenty of knowledge to share. You gain knowledge and the respect of the car audio world. I had been in the competition scene for sever…

how does a rapidly growinjg fan lose the newbie status?

So... on Tuesday evening, i was mowing the grass. After that, i started to blow the grass out of the road. All of a sudden, i wake up in the hospital. I dont even remember mowing or anything... While i was using the blower, a Dodge Sprinter (yes the big ass van/bus thing) hit me. His side mirror hit me in the head and i went down. Then he ran over my ankle. I have SEVERE internal bruising. But not a single broken bone. Someone was definitely watching over me. The guy that hit me was the one that called the police. And he called every couple hours to be sure i was okay untill i was out of the hospital. He hasnt driven or gone to work since the incident... no alcohol or dr…

hey guys. so my parents want to get me something pretty big for graduation this June. I can't think of anything that sounds really appealing. i want something that i cause use for teh next couple years.. or if it's something like a 1 time deal, something that i can have friends go with. or just to have great memories on. basically, all i'm asking for are idea's. or what you recieved as graduation gifts, anything is welcome. it doesn't matter how much either, neither of my parents graduated, and so they said that they want to get me something really big for graduation. plus it might help my brother want to stick with it, he's been getting into alot of trouble lately.. so a…

Have a great one!

first and foremost,,thank you for your prayers, they are needed and do work! It feels good to be part of something that is real, I am glad that we have all of your support. Alex has a very aggresive skin condition that is resulting in large, puss filled blisters, (3/8" to 5/8"), they are very concerned of them entering his blood stream (at first they thought it had already) they have taken countlees bllod samples, they have taken cultures of the sore itself, (by cutting the sores literally off), and also strapped him down on a board and done a spinal tap, removing flood directly from his spine, all of this has been sent to labs, it is a horrible sight to see so much tram…

Not to start any conspiracy theories or anything like that, I know the whole NWO is something many people feel strongly against, and are strongly for. For those people who are against, what I am about to provide is no theory, these videos are proof of what has been in the planning for decades. My only intention creating this post is to simply try to awaken those, scratch that, is to just try to open the minds of those disbelievers. I am scarred for our future, even though I am only 22, simply because of where we are going as a human species. Please, I only ask for you to do some research, and become wealthy in knowledge outside the school books so that when something very…

My wife and I are looking at getting a couple of smartphones. I've never really done any research on them, so I'm looking for some advice on good phones and service providers. I don't need anything fancy in a phone. Basically something that I can use for phone calls and internet. A few things that would be nice are GPS and a camera, but they aren't a necessity. Anything specific I should be looking for or looking to avoid in a phone or phone plan?

so i am no longer able to afford my 2003 dodge neon, so its time to sell that and get something cheaper well i am between 2 cars right now, one is a 1999 ford ranger with 144k and nothing extra. no carpet, vinyl bench seats, 5spd, thats about it. the other car is a 1997 ford contour, GL i believe, has power everything, auto, and here's the shocker, it has 244k.... well first off, i am only getting this car to last me about 2 years, until i graduate college, so it needs to be able to last that long.. the contour has pretty much everything new except internals, it has a new battery, new tires, new alternator, new water pump, new radiator and hoses, used transmission with 8…

Yeah pretty sad. But he got the car back. On the night of 09/25/11 around midnight in Providence, RI at my uncles house, his 2000 Nissan maxima was stolen. Well technically it's my dads Nissan maxima because my dad pays for the insurance of the car. But yeah my uncle called my dad and told him what happened. He said the doors were indeed locked. The guys that stole it obviously wanted something out of it. It's pretty weird, next day the police found the vehicle about two blocks down from my uncles house. Nothing was wrong with it, although they stole my uncles wallet that was in the car. The police said they were searching for something in the car.. They didn't go …

To start the story I will by saying at no point did I think I did not deserve the tickets. On my van I have, what may be some of the darkest tint you can have and still be able to drive. 5% over factory 20% on rear five windows, 5% on front two, and 35% on whole windshield with a 10" 5% strip over it. While I have had this my inspection sticker has since expired. But would cost $200ish to get brought up to date due to having to have the front tint removed then replaced, so I have not done it yet. I was driving to a local audio shop I frequent with my GF and friend in the van with me, we were going through a small antique shopping center. Stores on both sides, speed limi…

Well, we have orders to Colorado Springs and will be leaving Germany in about a month and a half, so we went ahead and bought a house about 15 minutes from Peterson AFB. Prices are low, interest rates are low, it was a good time to buy. It should be closed before we get there. We are pretty excited, I'll actually have space to work on projects again....
