I know I have a car audio addiction when......
When you wind up with 800 extra bucks in your checking from scholarships and you start up your home thater project, overdraft you bank account for the first time and still not close to done (I still have to buy atleast 700 bucks more of equipment, not including speakers) As said before... When you go home on the weekends to use a tablesaw so you can build enclosures. People on your dorm floor know all about your audio setup because they can hear it all the way down the hallway without having it cranked up all the way.

Reduced laptop battery life
Batteries do just wear out, time for new battery it sounds like. The length of charge also depends on the number of cells in the battery, I have used some that hold excellent charge for over 4 hours, (i think 8 cell or somethin). Then our laptop holds a charge for a little over 2 hours. But reduce the screen brightness, I have found I can get another 20min or so outa a battery by reducing the screen intensity.

Home audio idiot here....I would like some ideas
Ok, I have some more questions...Dang, I'm just full of them. I have been looking at receivers for awhile now, and wondering, how many are 4ohm stable, I was wondering if most were, just didn't say it, or 4ohm stability is sometihng I would have to luck out to find. Would CDT EF-61's sound good in a room, or should I just sell them and buy something from Dayton and make stylish boxes (which I was going to have to do anyway, but...) I was wondering this because it seems like people get excellent sound (from what I've read) for cheap. One last question for now, if the receiver has a sub preout, do I need another amp for the sub? (stupid question) Thanks Alot for Any Help -Ryan

Home audio idiot here....I would like some ideas
Ok, I don't know anything about home audio to start out with, so keep that in mind with your responses please. Ok I have 2 RE, RE 12's (DVC 4ohm) and a pair of CDT EF-61 6.5" components (05 model) I would like to make a dorm room setup, yes to make matters worse, the signal is coming out of a COMPUTER. I have a M audio 5.1 sound card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829121122) This is the card if you are wondering. Ok, I am wondering what type of enclosure to put (I am thinking only one of the RE's) in. I can build anthing out of wood that I need to, just don't have much experience about the finer aspects of box building, but a wood shop is nothing new to me. I know for a vehicle the CDT's need about .3ft^3 and 100wrms. I am not sure about for outside of a vehicle though. So I need recomendations on amps for them, and what type of enclosures to make for the sub/subs. Please keep in mind this is on a college students budget, I can't give you an amount, because it is flexible for quality. Please try to keep recomendations as cheap as possibe. I also have a Profile HA1000 amp lying around (240x2 @2ohms), but I don't really want to do the computer power supply mod to use it inside my room. Thanks for any help -Ryan
