  1. He has moderation power within his own section. All vendors do.
  2. Electrons ALWAYS take the path of least resistance. That being said, I alway run multiple grounds when I get a new vehicle. I don't trust all the factory grounds, and I've actually seen HP gains on a dyno due to this. Not that that applies to you. The only issue I see for you is the myriad of voltage differentials. This almost always induces noise, but it's impossible to estimate.
  3. Womens' senses are far more acute than men's. I know my ears have been abused and damaged, but I can not tell a difference.
  4. HE swung and missed, but the ball hit him smack in his dome.
  5. SO Gavin never lifts the toilet seat to piss. He pisses all over it, then wipes it off, but if he wakes up in the night to go pee, he lifts the toilet. Odd that he subconciously lifts the seat, but not conciously. Of course the bad part is, he never seems to hit the bowl while sleepy.
  6. After checking IMDB, I believe I have seen that movie, although not it's entirety.
  7. I've had several modulars and know many people with them who have never had an issue. That being said, I've seen a lot that have also. I have several COPs if you need some. I have to go through them all though. Just let me know if you have any issues.
  8. Is that a movie?
  9. Sell that damn capacitor. It is nothing more than another load and the ESR of the big caps make them pointless for anything in the first place. As for your subs, you don't seem too concernced about anything other than getting loud and feeling the beat, so I really would just pick the the cheapest thing you can find that will fit your application, build a proper enclosure and be done with it.
  10. You're not going to get a big positive response with this question. We like to enjoy our music responsibly and don't condone the idiocy that makes our hobby despised by many. If you just want to be heard blocks away, buy any subwoofer you want and have at it.
  11. ONce you seal it up, it will be negligible. You'd never hear a difference.
  12. Or you can just seal up the vent on the one you have now.
  13. I can say, in my own opinion, that either the G or Icon will sound better than the TypeR, but I would no use either of them in that enclosure unless sealed. You can buy one and throw it in there to see how you like it and worst case scenario, plug the vent, but I would dp that personally anyways.
  14. What driver(s) do you have now? Just throwing a new driver in often times will NOT result in much of a change,especially without tailoring the application to the new driver, and with subwoofers, many many sound the same, so it's hard to get an increase in "SQ" when switching a sub.
  15. Try living in South Bend. . . . . . . It is nice for the community though, and the whores really come out when they win. I'm getting a sitter for next Saturday. Win win for me. They beat Southern Cal and the chicks drink so much, they are easy. They lose, they drink away their sorrows and look for a penis bon bon.
  16. The union system is just as corrupted as the entire corporate system. To solely base your issues on the union workforce is a joke. There are many places that still need union support, hell I work for one, but ultimately, mismanagement is what leads to failure. There was a time when unions were needed, but that day has long since past. We can thank unions for driving up the costs of so many items we use today, and we can also thank them for the financial ruin they are leaving state and local governments in... Their demands for astronomical wages either destroy a company financially, or drive up the costs of the finished product so high that American companies cannot compete with foreign companies unless they move production to foreign countries. Seriously, a broom pusher at a GM plant deserves a $20 an hour wage, plus an additional $10-5 an hour worth of benefits from paid sick days, paid holidays, paid vacation, various insurance benefits (health, dental, life, disability, etc.), pension plans, and various other benefits that many skilled laborers will never enjoy? The car buyer pays for it, and when the company goes into financial collapse you, John Q Taxpayer, foots the bill. Go buy food in the union ridden grocery stores in SoCal. You will pay $6.99 for a Stoufers Macaroni and cheese at Ralphs... Go to WalMart (a non-union shop) and you will pay $1.99. Raphs stores constantly suffer from strikes, every 3 or 4 years, WalMart plugs right along unfazed. Look at public sector unions, and the financial impact they have on local and state economies. Wages for Public sector union employees is almost 35% higher then their non-union counterparts. Their pension plans are crippling the local and state economies. Look throughout California where cities are having to file bankruptcy and resend their charters as cities because they simply cannot keep up with labor union demands, which not only includes pensions, but the high wages and tremendous vacation days offered to the employees. Want to see another labor union catastrophe? What is destroying the postal service? You guessed it... huge wages, huge vacation and holiday offerings, massive pension plans, and Cadillac health care plans. Guess how these benefits packages that crippled such a huge company were devised? Collective bargaining, or what you might call, Labor Unions. Sure, you can argue that the businesses should be able to generate the income to cover these costs. Just look at how much more these items cost us to buy, they must be making the money! No, these are being used simply to pay the highest business taxes in the world, the highest wages in the world, the richest benefits packages in the world, and retirement packages that are unfathomable to the rest of the world. All of these (except the business taxes) are negotiated by labor unions. I will agree with you in regards to the UAW, and PO, but being in the trades my entire life an in two unions, they are not out of line like the UAW or PO. IBEW is all union member owner and operated. Their insurance is paid by the union, delegated by the union and union run;pensions are the same, they are also their own bank. Plumbers and Pipefitters, Carpenter and Millwright, and Sheetmetal are all the same. These make up the same if not more union work that the UAW and PO and they don't have any of the issues any of the manufacturing unions have. You just simply can not place all the blame on a union and it's workforce. Many businesses have dealt with strikes and still lived. Many have had the unions dissolved and still lived. At the end of the day, it's up to the people who manage the workers and finances to make sure everything is how it needs to be. How many times do we see these large companies bring in these CEOs, sign them to multi-million dollar contracts, only to have to fire these guys for fucking the company up so bad and still owe them tens of millions of dollars. So now a small problem is now two-fold and it just spirals out of control.
  17. I do think the unions have many faults though. They themselves have become businesses and just like everything else, need policing. It is up to the union members to do this, but we all know how this goes. It's up to us to police our government as well and that's working out just as much.
  18. I deal with this on a daily basis. The bad part is, nothing gets done about any of them and it spirals into a viscious cycle.

  20. Unions are awesome! Wait... So are you one of the drinkers of their Kool-Aid? I don't see how they really can place this solely on the Union. Seriously? Most definitely.
  21. And abusive. OMG do you get a beating on the water!
  22. Unions are awesome! Wait... So are you one of the drinkers of their Kool-Aid? I don't see how they really can place this solely on the Union.
  23. Um, what? How do you figure? Obviously you've not played with much. Rainbow, Hertz, Alpine Pros, Dynaudio, Seas Lotus, DLS. . . We can go on.
  24. They work great for plastics too. They drill from the inside out.
