I would just like to let everyone know on this site that I apologize for any bs that I had caused. I have learned alot of things in the short time that I have been here. I would like to say thanx to all of the members that have gave me good advice. I hope there is alot more that I can learn from others. Jason

I know I may seem dumb to some of you guys on here since you guys are pro's and know your stuff. But audio, whether its car audio or house audio or even headphones it not my hobby its my passion, my obsession. I want to learn everything about it, not just the basics, I want to know everything even if its barely necessary. But some of you guys aren't very willing to teach me, I do search Google 90% of the time there have been a couple times I didn't but its usually because I wasn't thinking or the fact I am tired, since I stay up late. But can you guys help me when I need it so I can be as smart as you. please. I'm sorry if this is a problem.

saw this and it reminded me of you

With the news of impending weather, I hope all are safe.

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 …

This is only to those few that have shown that they are of upstanding character and have in not contributed to the ignorance I witnessed today; I thank you for your help in car audio, I have learned a great deal in the past 7 months. Also and more importantly I apologize to you. I kinda went off at CA.com and said a few really messed up things. Wether you read or not or even give a crap I just wanna apologize. Please understand that I am just fed up with the anti-mexicanism that is so prevelant at every single website that I have ever been to and even more fed up at the fact that it is okay with everyone. But, this is beside the point; in my anger I resorted to the same s…

my mom bought a puppy for me.. and when she called to tell me i was like NO NO NO!... but when she showed up i was like aww yes,. yes ,. yes.... so i got a 7 week old puppy... now 9 weeks today... its a bulldog and bullmastiff mix..... i have been able to teach her things pretty fast.. at the age of 8 weeks she learned to sit, and lay, she knows she must sit calmly before i will put food in the bowl.. at 9 weeks she has learned how to play tug of war, fetch, and i have leash broke her... she is giving me alot of trouble on potty training tho.. i have training pads down.. and the first week she was using them well.. but now she will only pee on them.. and once …

I don't know which advertising firm you've contracted, or which focus groups you've been listening to, but no one with a shred of sense or dignity wants to shop in a store blaring bass heavy music of questionable quality at nauseatingly loud volumes. Furthermore, I should not be able to walk past your store and be blanketed in a thick miasma of cologne/perfume/fragrance (also of questionable quality). In conclusion: light, instrumental jazz at barely audible levels and leave the smelly stuff at the perfume counters. Please cease and desist with these shenanigans immediately. Thank You

It would be very nice and mean alot to give thanks to everyone you know and see that works in The EMS field, we go through alot of shit to make sure everyone gets treated and taken care of. So I would like to give thanks to fellow EMS workers that are apart of this site for the work you do in you're state and county.

Okay skipped 1st class to sleep and kinda forgot the extra sleep. Went to philosophy and talked to my friend Ryan. Ryan calls this kid who has had His Rockford that I want, sence least summer. Kid calls Ryan back after class and tells Ryan to have m go get it later. Well in the meantime we go look at a friends old beat ass rice Neon. Rice rims, and bad tint. Needs a starter. Well Ryan looks to buy it and I tell chris (my friend) to go get the amp with me. On the drive home I suggest my Pioneer TS-W33C subs all 4 of them and a home made basically wall, and my old Pioneer amp the Rockford would be replasing for his 1995 Dodge Neon SE. He calls his dad and his dad agrees. No…

Merry Christmas everyone!

Damn bro, you were working hard today!

Funny skits....

The Lone Ranger and Tonto went camping in the desert. After they got their tent set up, they fell asleep. Some hours later, the Lone Ranger wakes his faithful friend and says, "Tonto, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." Tonto replies, "Me see millions of stars." "What does that tell you?" asked The Lone Ranger. Tonto ponders for a minute, then says, "Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of Planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. …

I don't like to knock other people's installs. so all I have to say is what's the point? Are they trying to see how many tv's you can fit in a trialblazer? What do you guys think? As I said, no disrespect meant.

Need help.

Just wanted to see what you guys take close to heart as some major lessons or experiences that need to be passed on to the next generation. Here are mine, which I am sure would change in a few years. 1. Be young and have fun with what and who you can while you can. 2. Family family family 3. College is worth it even if you don't use it 4. Children are more scary, more exciting, more stressful, more expensive, and more fulfilling then anything else period. 5. Own a civic / carolla, regardless if you need it or not, because you will. 6. Learn from those who came before you. 7. Don't hold a grude, or get angry about the small stuff. (I am really working on this one) 8. Do w…

With this latest binge of posting I am number 10 on the all top top 10 posters. First off I would like to thank me, because without me, none of this would have been possible

Well I was just driving home after dropping some friends off. I was a designated driver for the night and refused all alcoholic beverages to me. I was so worried the whole night of being pulled over and the car impounded or something so I didnt drink. So right as I turn into my neighborhood, the apartment complex to my left has their sprinklers going. Mind you, its about 30 degrees outside, 3:30am, and we are in water restrictions. I turn into the neighborhood as I always do and hit a big slick of water from the sprinkler system. My car swerved uncontrollably to the left and then violently to the right ending in my car being wrapped around a telephone pole. I crawled out …

So here is a truely touching story from us SMD members. Now I know a lot of people dont care/ dislike SMD forums in every single way so I dont want this to be a pissing match, but you have to have the heart to read this story that made the news. A member on the forums "Nine8SST" has a daughter who has cerebral palsy and she has an expensive custom made bicycle that she cannot ride because her condition has progressed so much. Long story short this blew up, nobody bought the bike, but so many people have pitched in for a new bike that would work for her, and lets just say it went so far as to pay for $1000+ bike and money for his new build. Truely touching story. Heres th…

Hey had a quick question on trades on the for sale section. How does this normally go down?

Before the great data loss of '07, I had a topic that I was daily tracking the alexa traffic ranking of main domain of SSA. As of today the number is the best since I had alexa track our ranking. We are currently sitting at: 978,558 before the upgrade we were hovering in the upper 99x,xxx to 115,xxx range. The closer to 1 the better.
