  1. Just wondering if you got my last PM about the 4 6.5's? If not let me know and I'll resend it.

    I never had seasonal allergies until I was an adult. The neti pot has been a savior.

    The Walking Dead Just about anything on The History Channel Regular Show (pretty much just short 15 minute episodes, but it's hilarious)
  4. I have no idea on tuning. Something for daily listening to just about everything. This is going in an SUV, but I'd like to keep it as small as possible without it sounding like ass. I've seen positive reviews for everything from .5 to 1 cube. I did try this calculator and came up with an internal volume of 0.384 cubic feet tuned to 34.75 hz. I'm not sure how accurate it is though. http://www.carstereo.com/help/Articles.cfm?id=17
  5. I'm looking at doing a single 8" Tang Band: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-854 I need a quote for a ported, downfiring box. I'd like something that's "pancake-like" if possible; something similar to this: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_32841_Pioneer-TS-SWX251.html?from=1-49 Shipping zip code is 66523. Thanks.
  6. I was thinking about trying something above one of the rear tire wells but didn't know how side firing would affect the output. I have a 2008 Saturn Vue, so it's on the smaller side of the SUV's.
  7. I was looking at the Hi-Vi a while back when it was on sale. Should have bought it because it was a killer price. Right now I'm running a single 10" Orion XTR. It has plenty of output and the box is fairly small (just under a cube) but we still run out of room pretty quickly if we do grocery shopping and such.
  8. Nice work and killer prices. I might be in need of something in the near future.
  9. I've decided that my days of trying to rattle windows and shake off mirrors are over, plus I get tired of having to take the box out whenever I need the room. Now all I'm wanting is a little bottom end to my music. What I've been looking at is some of the cheaper, smaller subs on Parts Express. I'm trying to figure out if it would be better to try and fit a single sub up front somewhere (under the seat, etc) or do multiple subs in the back in the spare tire well? The only thing that concerns me about subs in the spare tire well is that since they are so small and so far back, there won't be much output all the way up front (maybe this thinking is wrong ). I plan on doing some measuring later this afternoon to see what I can fit and where, but I was hoping someone could chime in with a little direction first. Thoughts?
  10. Thank you.
  11. I'm wondering if you can do this? Looking for a ported enclosure for a single Tang Band W8-740P http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=264-854 . Nothing fancy...regular charcoal carpet, no flush mount, regular port, etc. This will be going in a Saturn Vue but I'd like to keep the size as small as possible without hurting performance. I listen to just about everything. I need to get some stuff sold first, so right now I'm just trying to plan out my budget. Zip code is 66523. Thanks a lot.
  12. Just donated. I also found out tonight that one of my Lieutenants on the fire department has been diagnosed with Leukemia. He leaves tomorrow for more testing.

    Damn. I wanna do it but I don't.
  14. Dan208 replied to Shogen's topic in Off Topic
    JESUS CHRIST!!! I was expecting it and it still scared the absolute shit out of me.
  15. Dan208 replied to Dan208's topic in Off Topic
    Thanks for the help. I'm going to stop and pick up an external hard drive after work tomorrow so I can at least get started.
  16. Dan208 replied to Dan208's topic in Off Topic
    Exactly. We have LOTS of photos of our daughter, my brother's wedding, vacations, holidays, etc.
  17. Dan208 replied to Dan208's topic in Off Topic
    It's decently fast. I mainly want it for backup/being able to access them when I want to. I'm also starting to dabble in photography as a hobby.

    My wife has a ton of pics on her computer. It's been acting funny lately and I want to get them off there in case it ends up crashing. What type of storage should I be looking at: online or external hard drive? If online, what are some of the better sites? I do have Photobucket, but I just use it for pics of things I'm selling and stupid stuff (memes, etc).
  19. Not really. Still trying to get myself motivated but I just feel so run down lately. I don't know if it's work or what. Sitting here typing this and all I want to do is take a nap. I'm working on cleaning up my diet too. Trying to phase out processed foods, sugars, etc. It's slow going but I'm determined to do it. The biggest non-specific thing, is just making it part of your routine on a daily basis. Just going and doing 25 minutes of light weights or moderate cardio is far better then not going. Find a good time that fits your schedule (for me I go every day at lunch and push as hard as I can for 55 minutes). So even if you are thinking about going, just go. The more you do, the more it becomes automatic and easy. I'm trying to make it a habit of getting up earlier (I need to start getting to bed earlier too ). With my back problems I'm usually pretty sore in the morning, so I want to start doing some light pilates or yoga, and hopefully that will get me "loosened up" enough to move onto something else. Thanks for checking up on me. This should be a group effort. Can you go after work? I only work three days a week. Twelve hour days of extreme physical labor followed by a 45 minute drive home really doesn't set me up to be in the mood for a workout. All I want to do is shower, eat and sleep. On the other hand, I've got 4 days that I could be working out, so I really have no excuse.

  22. So how about:
  23. Dan208 replied to steveo50's topic in General Audio
    But seriously, I just picked up a 10" Orion XTR from Sonic Electronix for $66 and some change (they are having their 11th anniversary sale). I've only had it for a few days, but it's a damn good sub for the price. If I had the room I'd buy a couple more.
  24. I got the enclosure today. Very well built and packaged like no other. The cutout ended up being too small for the Chaos, but that's ok because it's been sold anyway. Thank you, Andrew, for resolving this issue.
