  1. Same exact everything else. Thermal would increase due to no heat soak. But that hasn't been an issue. Considering savings on shipping cost I think I'll still be able to get it as cheap or cheaper than the competition's ferrite counterparts in the same class. I'll still offer the ferrite version. It's just a pain in the ass to load 120 pounds of subs with a 75 pound box in the trunk of my car.
  2. most don't care about energy savings...they want to pay less for their gas each month. More fuel economy means less out of pocket. That is as much a pressure on the auto makers as gov't standards. Net ecological cost means nothing...net out of pocket cost is important. I see it every single day, I make car loans for a living. People get rid of their old gas hogs for more fuel economy. Truck guys drive around in Aveo's and shit because it uses 1/2 the fuel. I see it, daily. Then your point is that Seth's entire rant was meaningless..because the whole thing was a giant rant about left wing federal programs and specifically pointed at Obama. His "main point" question there at the end even specifically mentions Obama. He mentions federal programs several times, and specifically Obama throughout the post. If my response to his rant was irrelevant, then his ENTIRE rant was equally meaningless and maybe he should have left Obama and those federal programs you cite as meaningless OUT of his post. But he didn't, so fair game. If you are going to complain, don't make shit up. Don't bitch about SSDI tripling under Obama when it HASN't. That's what is absurd. People using bullshit statistics to try to validate their political views or to validate their dislike of some political party. The ONLY reason I even responded to that section was because his figure was a fucking LIE and WAY the hell off from the truth.You're way too emotionally involved to have this conversation. Seth has been here for years, and if you think his intentions are to specifically seek out manipulation and "fucking LIE" I lost a load of respect for you. If his facts were wrong, he didn't use them knowing so. You should also know better that 2 people can look at the same raw data and come up with 2 different numerical values buy the end. Anyone who has taken statistics should know that the outlying data is always thrown out, and depending on who did the throwing, the data is skewed as such. Attacking someone personally for their beliefs is a shifty trait. Maybe you didn't intend for it to come off that way, but you sure as hell went right to judging other people right away.

  6. It is, Mikey! Mike is an online buddy of mine for years. I hope everyone here is as accepting of him as they are of me. He is a good dude, with a unique sense of humor. He is also a fellow mod of one of the biggest car audio forums on the web not named SSA. But he is still a cock muncher!

    Just want to see what other people do with there old subwoofer box. Me I like to cut out mdf rings. What about you guys
  8. Ryan, do you have the militia required to take the USA over? If your goals are the same as mine, I will gladly join your revolt, as I do have a lot of legal weaponry in my home. If not, I suggest you vote on the candidate in your area most likely to speak for you. Please, be aware that nobody will completely encompass your values. however, by not voting, you are essentially letting people you disagree with speak for you. Up until recently I was not permitted to have any say in government. I was a felon since I was 18 and not deemed worthy of speaking for my beliefs. That was over 25 years that I would have begged for someone like you, with similar values (Ford love set aside ) to speak for me. Now that I can legitimately speak for myself, I feel it is imperative to let people know they should speak their piece if they are afforded the right to do so. Please don't insult people like me who have been silenced for so long. Keep in mind, no one will agree with your beliefs completely. But you must, must, must step forth and vote your mind, if for no other reason then to respect those who are not afforded that right. I implore that of you, dude. Yur right to vote is huge, and I have been envious of folks like you for decades.
  9. Been making my own old fashioneds tonight. I grabbed up 2 bottles of double oaked, a bottle of orange bitters, a bottle of plain bitters, a box of brown sugar cubes, a box of white sugar cubes, a bag of brown sugar (light) and a bag of white sugar. I always wanted to try them, and never have... I figured I would stay in tonight, and get fucked up trying my favorite bourbon. I didn't waste any time on club soda (because I refuse to add that shit to fine bourbon), water, or the traditional garnishes, which include lemon peel, lemon zest, orange slices and cherrys (some recipes also call for sour cherry juice). Please be aware and keep in mind that I love bourbon with a couple cubes. No water, no mixers... just very good whiskey. I truly enjoy it. I would rather drink a good bourbon than eat Kate Upton's pussy/asshole... Yes, I like it that much. One of my favorites is Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. It is a mid/high end bourbon that costs ~$60 a bottle (local taxes included). It is not cheap, but it is not Pappy Van Winkle expensive either. I will give you what is considered a rough recipe, and you can base some assumptions on the others based on the ingredients above if I don't include them below, since I am kinda fucked up... 3-4 dashes of bitters (in some cases all orange bitters, in some 50/50 orange and plain, and some straight plain), 1/2-1tsp of sugar (again, straight plain or 2 cubes of plain, 50/50 white/brown or 1 cube of each), 2 Oz of bourbon, ice cubes and in some cases a splash of water or club soda... Again, fuck watering it down, so no club or water was used. Also, I read a shit ton of arguments about what a dash is. Some say 1/8 a teaspoon, some say 1/4. I decided in 1/4 as a dash because 1/8 didn't do shit for flavor or pulverization/liquification of the sugar cubes. I tried it with cubes. I did not like cubes at all. I don't want to have to sit there and break up cubes for 20 minutes to have a drink. Cubes do not change the flavor over straight sugar/brown sugar. Don't waste the time. If you want cubes to try them, I will send you the trays of cubes I bought that were utter bullshit. Straight bitters... Nope. I didn't get much off the straight bitters in my mix. It was a waste of $5. Even the 50/50 straight/orange was not a good drink. So to simplify, buy orange bitters and granulated white/brown sugar. The process is simplified and the overall experience is much more pleasant. Brown sugar is OK. I like the slight molasses flavor it imparts. I find that the molasses flavor has a bit too much of a back of the tongue hanging bittersweet taste that I like, but it is not my favorite. While I am not a big chocolate fan, I do like bittersweet dark chocolate, so consider that when you decide your mix. To me, the best flavor is 1.5/1.5 tsp white granulated sugar/orange bitters to 4Oz of bourbon. It has a great bittersweet orange flavor that does not overpower the flavor of the bourbon. The bourbon stands right out in the forefront, but the aftertaste of the semi-sweet orange is a peasant addition to the strong flavor of the bourbon. While I generally do not like bourbon mixes (aside from a sour) I will drink this from time to time. The benefits of this are: You do not cut down the bourbon much at all... I hate a drink that cuts the base liquor by 66%... I am a man, not a woman. I like liquor, not wine coolers, white Russians, or Stoli-CollingYou do get the sturdy flavor of a good bourbon without a lot of coloration. However, the aftertaste is a pleasant surprise.It does have a sweet aroma, making it pretend to be delicate, yet it fools you with a full flavored complex taste that is still taste bold on the tongue.I can buy a cheaper liquor and still have a "high end" experiance.The negatives are simple: It is a flavored drink. If you are a hard core straight liquor drinker this is not for you.If your pocket is fat, this is a waste of time because you can afford a weekly fifth of Pappy 18 year at $1K/ bottle. If so, I will blow you for this pleasure. I drink 2-3 bottles of bourbon a week, thanks!In the future, I will likely save the money and buy the Woodford Distillers Select (at $32 a fifth it is nearly 1/2 as expensive) to make these drinks. But they are worth considering.

    I always sell them, with or without the sub !
  11. Yep! I get seriously pissed because 95% of my industry earns based on performance. We either get straight commission, flat rate (pay based on actual hours turned), percentage of total profit, etc. I see a ton of apprentices in my shop with no drive. I hear "I don't want to work hard", "This is harder work than I expected", "I didn't know you got paid like that", etc. The kids in this country are expecting everything to be handed to them... Fuck hard work, just give it to me because I deserve it! Fucking losers. There are energy savings, but most of those buying the hybrids are all about their impact on the environment. The truth is, a Prius... the bastion of green driving... has nearly 2.5X the carbon footprint of an H2, and 3X the total cost of ownership over the life of the vehicle. Wow, someone who understands what this election is about. Leftists are trying to paint this as a presidential election. Interestingly most of the grey areas in the country are running away from Obama's policies, and saying this isn't about him or his policies... Obama hurt many Dems by stating this election is about him. Even more so with the annual growth of recipients and the aforementioned insolvency. GWB was just as liberal as Obama. He was a fucking disgrace to his party. While I follow more libertarian views, I am aware that throwing a vote that way is throwing a vote in the trash. We live in a 2 party society, and I need to pick my battles well. I am more of a social liberal, but I am a firm economic and political conservative (to the literal sense of the word conservative, not the Rush Limbaugh/GWB neo con liberal version of conservatism). I do believe the federal government is intended to deal with interstate commerce, international commerce, Immigration, and the military, and that is all. The complete overreach of today's federal gvt is stunning. Bush showed me he had zero conservative values when the Terry Schaivo incident occurred. What a fucking hypocrite!
