Sorry, no luck on the NS3's. My brother said he used them in a friend's vehicle already.

I kept waiting for him to say he was a Nigerian prince.

Don't think the NS3's have ever been offered in anything other than a white cone, but I could be wrong. I'll double-check when I get home from work and try to get back to you tonight.

I think I have a couple left at the house from when I built my horns that you can have. If I find them, they're yours, free and clear.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Word. I'll see if I can scan it when I get home.

Sorry I missed this earlier. Happy belated birthday. Any pics from camping? Where did you go?

Feist - I Feel It All I'm the only person I know who is not on OiNK and loves this album.

Looks dandy.

Someone over here would be up for it. CA&E is good for about 5 pages worth on a good edition. I just started getting Voice Coil, which has been an improvement so far.

Speaking of Audiogon.... Foreplay II: http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?pre...&1184535052

If only Grado made a comfortable set with great bottom end. Looking forward to more.

Dude, get the Grado stuff up asap. Would be nice to see how the operation is going there now that they're also working on the Allessandro products. That chick looks like she is holding the world's most uncomfortable cans. eek... BTW Lukas, everytime I check your site I kick myself for not checking more often. Good thing you've got going on and I look forward to the improvements you have in mind.

www.carstereos.org The ad in question: http://forum.carstereos.org/bash-digital-sub-t65987.html Hard to beat that price for 500W. MSRP on those is ~$300 if I recall correctly.

Couldn't agree more with Jim. What's your budget looking like? Truthfully, you can probably do most of your browsing on www.partsexpress.com - they deal QSC (great rack amps) and have their own line of affordable plate amplifiers.

Maybe add some more wire, if possible. If your distributor can hook you up with Kicker products, then their line of wire is a really good choice (their HyperFlex is very good power wire). More speakers would probably be a cool thing too, which could include CDT, Focal (that would be a damned good pickup), MB Quart, Polk, etc.

Next time I am headed that way, I'll let you know in advance. Better lock your stockroom up Not sure my girlfriend would appreciate ugly women on me. But I will gladly drink you under the table.

I've really lost my passion for cars, unfortunately. However, there are still a few that would rank highly. Any 55-57 Chevy truck, the early 70's C10's, older Beetle's (from the doors forward, one of the most capable SQ vehicles, in my opinion), any of the Infiniti offerings (G35 anyone?), and I've always had a certain fondness for the BMW products...wouldn't mind any 3 series there. I mostly see a vehicle as a method of transportation nowadays. I think once I get older and can (hopefully) find more people my age who identify the same vehicles as good taste (ie. not most imports, the whole tuner scene, and the attitudes/behaviours that tend to go with those), I might be able to get back into it full throttle. Tough, though.

I happen to like the Sens, so I look forward to them winning a cup. My money is on the Ducks in the West, though, and they'll be tough competition. The legend: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...6140&st=40# Brunette, good rack, nice tight but not tiny butt, and not only willing to get freaky, but desiring to do so. ATM should be no big thing. If I'm wanting to actually have a relationship with them, they need to be intelligent and capable of challenging me. I don't enjoy listening to them prat on about unimportant things or being unable to maintain a high-level conversation. So hard to pick favourites! I'll try to rattle off a few of each Bands: The Doors The Who Saosin J.S. Bach Leonard Bernstein Elliott Smith Metallica (still, somehow) Pink Floyd Frederic Chopin Bury Your Dead Songs: The Who - Love Reign O'er Me Saosin - They Perched on Their Stilts, Pointing and Daring Me to Break Custom Pink Floyd - Have a Cigar (or any other song ever) Michael Andrews and Gary Jules - Mad World (I like the Tears for Fears version, but this one is so much more depressingly beautiful...something about the cello) Bob Dylan - Don't think Twice, It's All Right I'm sure there's lots and lots I'm forgetting.

Haha. Lake..... Have a water cooler at the house if I feel like drinking a water-based product.

Now that is actually quite a funny and embarrassing story in itself. I'll have to do a search in a bit to back this up, but one of my very first posts here on SSA involved calling Aaron (denim) an idiot or something of the like. If I recall correctly, I said he should go back to school. To say I was young and brash would perhaps be an understatement. For a period of a year or so, I rarely posted and rarely viewed anything on SSA. At this time, my perspectives on life were going through quite a change and I slowly found myself being more and more enticed. What eventually hooked me was a good rapport with Aaron (which is all to coincidental) and a feeling that SSA was not the 1000th regurgitation of a car audio forum that seems to be going on everywhere else. I take great pride in a vastly improved maturity that I feel blends in very well with simply the finest group of individuals on an audio forum I have found. I would love to be an even bigger part of SSA at some point. Unlike the several other sites I have worked on, I don't feel locked into doing stuff here and when I write articles, they're by my own free will and I enjoy that greatly. It's cool to be part of something growing, knowing that, as minute as the part you play is, you may have a hand in that. For an all-too-complicated topic, I have a fairly simple response: I believe in beliefs. I am a big believer in that everything in life is linked to a belief in something else. Can I definitively prove that sound is the compression and rarefaction of air? No. Can I prove that god is the reason I believe that to be the case? No. My beliefs are firmly rooted in science, no doubt about that, but I am willing to grant that a god may exist and those who believe that to be the case are entitled to do so.

Good for him. I will have to stop by sometime and congratulate him.

Terry said you knew your stuff though! He left that place a couple months later anyways. Terry is a good friend of mine btw Yeah, I have talked to Terry a couple of times at Inno. If I could turn back the clock, I would obviously do it differently, especially here where finding people truly interested in audio proves to be quite challenging. Live and learn, I 'spose. Have you talked to him recently? Wonder if he's still loving life at Inno.

I highly recommend reading Electronics for Dummies or a similar book if you haven't; it gives a very important framework for understanding audio. Though there is very little that is specific to a speaker, the sum of the knowledge will allow you to make your own inferences. For an auditory understanding, I recommend An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing by Brian J. Moore. Any of Leo Beranek's work is worth a read as well. I think that a person's ability to comprehend a subject is attributable to the number of methodologies they utilize. If I read one book and quote it religiously, I will likely experience gaps and lack the alternative (and, potentially, more accurate) viewpoints. I like to read on forums a fair bit and I read as many different books on a given topic as possible. Realistically, read, watch, or listen anything you can get your hands on.
