    well i was talking with some of my friends, and we got to talking about some stupid crap. so i decided to ask the same question. When you are listening to your system in your car, do you tend to leave it on even numbers or odd numbers? (ex. i like mine on 18) i tend to lean toward even numbers, and some of my friends will only listenin on odd numbers. what are yalls thoughts?

    so i was thinking about getting a ssd 15 for christmas but i didnt wanna wait that long so i started looking for a job haha. anyways i was thinking that if i get a job i could get 2 ssd 12s and a saz-1500. would that be a good set up? also i was thinking about buying one ssd 12 when i get some money and run her off my alpine mrp-m500 and then get the amp and other sub later. i heard that the alpine mrp-m500 is not good for a sub because it has a set subsonic filter at 15hz so could that amp hurt that sub?

    So, I was just looking up on Kijiji (Canadian classifieds) and somebody is looking to trade his Two 14"? PG Competition subwoofers for a wakeboard. Anyways, he tried to say that these subs get up to 200db off of 400 watts. I just thought this was pretty funny. Post some exaggerations you found hilarious?

    Is it possible to tune an amp so that an 8inch sub will act as a midbass driver? I have a kicker cvr 8 and a fosgate prime 250 and I was wondering if I could put the equipment to use and delay my purchase of midbass drivers until I have sufficient funds.
