I spent the day and shot some great new product photos for most of the Second Skin products to go with their new web site. Here they are. These can also be seen at http://www.secondskinaudio.com Enjoy

We would like to welcome The Gear Box CNC comapny to the forum, they make a really sweet CNC machine and many other products...

LOL both usually result in attracting complete sluts. J

Absolutely, we all started out that way. if only we were all as smart as him and ask before buying ... instead of buying all kinds of shit and ask questions later !!

Looks good, try not to use black font though.

I would prefer this. The %99 nudity that sometimes frequents the HOP makes me weary when I want to view the HOP in a public area. Not that I'm complaining

I have a feeling Sandt and Bigjon will.

Does everyone else want a hidden NSFW topic? There is a hidden section already.

I'd take that XXX over anything said in this thread. 200 for box and sub is great.

Remind me never to open any links you send at work, thanks. LOL, I now know what NSFW means!

Good Morning!!! NSFW http://img280.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=28149_tumblr_m8s69daeBZ1rcfpb3o1_500_123_535lo.jpg

SO, I had a spark from the welder get stuck in my ear today. Let me tell you, THAT FUCKING HURTS!

Trying to link just the image, not the site. The sites have annoying pop ups. I wish I had known this before. I'll address this in future links. Glad we got that taken care of. *in serious voice* I hate that. I try to share good links. The fact that my links are not working sucks... Seriously. I love women, and sharing with my homies is good. Too bad I shared a ton of worthless links

This shit is too funny: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2ySMXsuMiw&feature=related

Now, let's cheer it up... All links are NSFW. The rest are clothed whores... http://img220.imagevenue.com/aAfkjfp01fo1i-27920/loc989/98303_tumblr_mca9c9fOfe1ru5t71o1_500_123_989lo.jpg

Imagine that, lowest gas price in a LONG time was on election day.

Taking the old lady to see skyfall in an hour. Thinking I might have to try the old dick through the hole in the bottom of the popcorn tub routine. Bicentennial wify handy FTMFW.

DP and Sailor for me tonight. Ooo, not sure why you'd share the w with a sailor, but to each their own.

I don't see how that's relevant and it's certainly nothing more than an opinion and doesn't prove anything. Inexpensive equipment CAN be installed and made to sound quite good, I agree with that completely. However, the companies that have spent major time in R&D and making strides in the technology they use and the quality of the drivers they produce have to charge more because they have more invested. While a great driver in a crappy install can generally be outperformed by a cheap driver in an ideal installation the better driver in IT'S ideal installation will generally yield unrivaled performance compared to that of the cheaper driver. It's all about compromise, knowledge and experience. While I do agree that the Alpines definitely have the background to suggest they're the better choice, it's not fact. Until someone takes the time to do measurements and direct comparisons between the sets there's no way to know with absolute certainty which is the better one. That will (probably and most likely) never happen, so then it comes down to compromise, knowledge and experience. Is the OP willing to compromise some quality in sound reproduction to save a few dollars and meet his set budget goal? Does the OP have the knowledge in driver placement and installation to ensure he can even get the best results from the more expensive set? Does the OP even have the experience to know the difference when he hears it? In almost all likelihood the OP is, doesn't, and can't. There's no intended offense to the OP in that statement either, hell I know I don't have the knowledge and experience to do that myself. That being said, my recommendation to the OP is to pick a budget for the speakers AND as close to an ideal installation as he can handle. Then buy accordingly. I don't think there's a big enough difference in the performance quality between the Alpine Type X's and Type R's to warrant the extra cost if you're just going to throw them in the factory locations and do a run of the mill install. As far as the Alpine's vs. the Sundown's, there's no way for anyone to give an opinion there yet since the Sundown's aren't out yet. It's a gamble plain and simple. Given Sundown's history to do well with their products by the numbers sold, I think there's a chance they'll perform adequately for pretty much every average listener with average installation skills. I have to admit I almost pre-ordered a set just so I could play with them and see what my opinion was, though it would only and ever just be my opinion, meaningless to anyone else and pointless. Much like my response.
