I recently ordered an amplifier from someone on this site and I asked them for a BNIB amp instead of the amp that had been used (allegedly used for 10 minutes). I get my box, and the original packing tape was cut and retaped, so I thought no big deal. Continue to open it and I see all the tape was cut on all the boxes it was on and the inside most box had 'Tested 4-6-11' written on it. Granted its in new condition, there are no cosmetic flaws and I got all the extras that come with it but I paid extra for BNIB not tested. So my question is is this considered BNIB condition? If not, then should I pay the same price for the one said person was selling used instead of paying…

So for the last 7 years or so i have been allergic to apples, pears, peaches, ect. I could eat watermelon, pinapple, melons, bananas. Its weird i devoled this as an adult now the other day i took a bite of my sons asian pear and it didnt affect me. today i took a bite of a normal pear nad nothing. For 7 years i have been craving a nice cold, crisp, juicy apple.............Today i ate one. no issues really. a little tingle in the back of my mouth. TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY. I guess as fast as it appeared, its gone. Anybody else have weird adult onset allergies?

By the time I finish typing this I will have spent 30 minutes trying to think of something productive to say. I am browsing SSA from the comfort of my couch, thanks to Nintendo. Where is your most memorable place you have logged into the forum?

Have a good one !

I haven't had time to really sit down and write out a full update, I have been going through the roughest patch of my life so far I'd say; but basically, I got my Taramps mounted hidden in my Dash, I scooped an american bass 4k (2k rms @ 1ohm) for my ID 15's, installed my Dayton AMT Tweeters, and the next to get installed is a MiniDSP 2x4 and a 200a Alt. getting the hang of phasing and time alignment, proper aiming. got my MDF baffles installed, and am eyeing up some daytom 8's to match my tweets. so far, this is the best sounding system i've ever owned. The ID 15's sound so so clean and clear, and I'm not even at full amperage However, I took my truck into the shop t…

Whew. Well, I'm doing a research paper based on Car Audio, imagine that. The catch is, it is a persuasive research paper and it must use two sources of visual rhetoric as it's primary sources. I am also required to have various other sources, and I plan on using this website as on of the other sources...particularly this thread. Visual Rhetoric: For our uses, we will define visual rhetoric as the fairly recent development of a theoretical framework describing how visual images communicate, as opposed to aural or verbal messages. The study of visual rhetoric is different from that of visual or graphic design, in that it emphasizes images as rational expressions of cultural…

Like the title says, just some random photos across the internet that made you laugh. I'll start:

Ok, I had a pretty good amount of donations from you guys last year and we were able to raise iirc $1200+ !!!!!!! http://www.vospca.org/depts/valley_oak_spca/default.asp Lets see if we can do better this year. I do this walk every year and am obviously a animal lover, matter of fact I just adopted a stray 2 weeks ago that stolled up to me in my drive way while I was applying deadener. Turns out he is a purebred mini Schnauzer so it turned out to be a bonus! I am looking for you donations no matter how small they are. If you also love animals please donate, ALL money will be donated to my local SPCA and I will put your name, location and the forum you are from. So, please …

This little annoying youngster hillbilly had a lil accident ....lol. This kid is the example people make of a irresponsible bass head. He rolls by my house 30 times a day ( or night) and all over town blasting his tunes. He thinks he's the king of bass of this shithole..lol. He's got like 1 15" Mojo or something. Well i let my dogs out to go potty and what do i see across the street? Video interview uploading now! lol

Like the title says......iTouch........not lil boys your pervs. Got one for the wife. I have been messing around with it, I like it. Kinda nifty. Took a lil work to get it to work with the wrt54g router, but, it is up and running. Was surfing here on it just a little while ago. Anyone else have one?

Heres a christmas picutre of some stuff I got... what u guys get?

I sure would not be surprised if my local news isn't blowing this out of proportion but in case no one on the East coast has heard.... apparently between NOW- Thursday morning.. we will be hit by "rare supercell storms" with "systematic tornadoes widespread"... Well for one.. that already sounds exaggerated but anyways.. go to www.weather.com, type in ur zip code and click map.. We are 4hrs from being hit and i'm in KY and we already have Tornado watches, Warnings until thursday morn(yea watch and warning together...) and Severe T-storm warnings from now til tomorrow morning... they have cut my programming off now for over 20min talking about already over 50 separate tor…

As I told Mark, I as of this time am NOT purchasing a vehicle. At this point fore the time I can use it it just is not cost effective. I was not planning on doing any testing while home, as such. After arriving home I found out my grandmother had a stroke this past thursday (day before I left over there)......She's not out of the woods yet by anymeans, but its a day to day process. I will be bouncing back and forth between the Hops. and here. Guys I will bust my ass to get this done. I talked to my mother of all people and she seems to think she can do it for me. Therefore we should have initial results thurday. Anyways all I ask is patience, understanding and my opology …

Guess what? When these 2 pics were taken, the car was .01 of a mile beyond... 200,000 miles.

Well, I want you guys to look over my logic. I was figuring that after winter I'd buy some new tires for the Mazda (FWD). Right now there are four all seasons on it. It appears as though the original factory front tires were moved to the rear, and a new set of all seasons were purchased and placed on the front. The tires in the rear don't have a lot of tread left on them - in fact, they look just like a street drag radial with minimal tread. I enjoyed yanking the e-brake through the floor when I didn't have the uberwoofer in there ... needless to say, I don't do that anymore. There's plenty of tread left on the front all seasons. I figure I'll throw the front all seaso…

...And why? I usually watch anything informative because I figure if I'm watching the toob I might as well learn a little something while I'm at it...I can never really get into reality shows they just tend to piss me off. And the news is always so depressing it's not worth watching. What about you guys?

dont you hate it when ur significant other decides that after you ask her out, that she doesnt know what she wants, and decides to leave you stranded? i hate that, plus it feels like youve wasted time because the relationship wasnt meaningful at all. WTF MAN lol..... sorry it just happened lastnight and it still bothers me. lol.

My son Andrew entered a contest for the NEW mascot for Enchanted Forest's Water Safari, and his entry was chosen as one of the five finalists. Andrew is Autistic, and has really made huge strides over the last few years, and has developed quite an imagination and creativity. If he were to win this contest, he would be absolutely thrilled, as would his mother and I. Please take a few minutes, and vote for his entry, "Louie the Safari Duck". Link to the page: Water Safari's Mascot Contest I thank each and every one of you in advance.
