Best of luck fixing your rep. Lets see if your money is where your mouth is. J

Random ? How does Stetsom have an 'Official' board on here and on CACO? J

Fuck getting down to the wife has me and the mrs both pricky J

You raise good points Wood. What I was trying to say is SSA IS a good place BEACUSE they yapped at him. SMD did not. SSA HELPED fix the problem. SMD did not. Either way Skar is here.......................I hope it doesn't ruin SSA. I hope he pulls his shit together. If he doesn't............He better be gone. I am sorry some of my shit seems contradictory. Its been a very long past few weeks out here and shit that makes sense when I type it does not always ready back right. J

Hurry up already, SO we can sling so ink. Your on my visitor list man. I got 2 1/2 sleeves for ya to do some work on......Its gonna be a grip of work. J Good thing I am a Marathon tattoo artist. Works for me. I definatly can sit still for awhile. J

Ugh gas........ugh

That is understandable. I know when my buddy came home early he told me how he felt and you know you guys go through a lot of things that many don't realize or understand. A part of it is beacuse we get paid a bit better while we are here and have less expenses. Its going to short us by a couple grand at the minimum........Either way I will perservere. I am not the first one to do this, and I certanly am not the last. Even if I came back when I am supposed to, adjusting to behing HOME and not just on leave is one hell of an adjustment. J

Well..........I may be home earlier than I aintisipated....... Leaves me with mixed feelings. J

And this is simply not true. A company that doesnt communicate with a customer is a joke by any standards. Im beginning to see why some people think its okay for someone to do things such as him. You just dont know any better yourself... lol and what did the guy do "at his own risk" ???? Meaning he paid for the amp 'at his own risk' meaning SSA is not liable for what happens here. If someone gets fucked over, too bad their fucking loss. I had a minor issue at SMD. I got a bent 18 in a 'drawing' dude had it insured for 500 which would of covered the recone as the basket was bent (not alot mind you). Well he got the money from the 'drawing' and the insurance and I got a slightly bent woofer. Guy lied to me, went to a mod and lied to them before I took it there. But its whatever. Its why I dont visit there any more. J

Wood, I respect your oulook man. It makes sense especially in this situation. As a society we have deemed people are allowed a 2nd chance. Has he had 2nd chances other places? Sure. He moved here for whatever reason and Mark is willing to give him a shot. Either he will get his CS going and be fine, or he is going to fail. Either one will happen and within 3 mths he will be a distant memory or he will be flourishing. My only ? with the whole gig is SSA sells audio equipment as a 'store'. He does the same thing........So its a lil WTF to have a competing business advertise in your house. But its not my forum, and I am just a supporting member. I know Mark and Aaron know what they are doing. I have known Mark personally for a few years now. He has been NOTHING SHORT of a stand up guy with me, and I can say the same for the people he has introduced me to as well. If he says its kosher, thats good enough for me. J

Is it personal? I may be a young gun in the car audio world and i obviously look up to him. He has turned into what started as a hobby into something much bigger. That is like a dream for most of us enthusiast isnt it? i mean why not make money off from something you absolutely love. Nobody takes things on a forum personal. If they do, they have deeply seeded issues than need professional help. Why do you look up to him? He's done nothing new, other than glamorize the annoying side of our hobby. Is it personal? I may be a young gun in the car audio world and i obviously look up to him. He has turned into what started as a hobby into something much bigger. That is like a dream for most of us enthusiast isnt it? i mean why not make money off from something you absolutely love.Why do you care what I think? You are old enough to make your own opinions and don't like mine anyways.Just curiosity. we have had a past and it seems like all you do is be a dick to everyone. you talk about how other forums are garbage because of how people treat each other but your a hypocrite because you do just that on this forum. Sean's not being a dick. These days, people can not take criticism. Everyone get their feelings hurt because society today is filled with pussies. If 90% of the people who get mad at him actually read what he types and take the time to understand it and not just spit out some other rhetoric or bullshit they read somewhere on the internet, they'd understand what a great teacher he is, but no, they want something handed to them without having to work for it. The problem is, most people see this place as a forum. To the core members, this place is home; we are a family. Now, we treat our home with respect and we welcome new friends. When you come to the forum and disrespect it, that is disrespecting our home. If someone has an issue with it, they are free to leave and we can also show someone the door as well. I think that was the best way to explain Sean's method of communication and how alot of us view SSA. Personally, I find the style of his posts to be nothing short of great. I like direct to the point answers that still offer some explanation as to why it will/will not work out. As for home...........well I have spent the most time here out of all my forums. Both at home, at work, and while downrange. J

My take- Ken got his coin back. No amp. Ken, be happy bro. Not many site owners would even discuss this with the seller. Weither he be from Skar audio or no company at all. Most would just say 'you did it at your own risk'. Mark and Aaron went out of their way to remind this guy of what should happen in business and how to keep people happy. As long as this does not become a pattern with him, I say fuck it, let the guy be. Should it of taken this long, or an 'intervention'? HELL NO. Did it? Yup. But whats done, is done and we can all get on now. J

I wont be seeing any till next winter............Its getting warmer here. J

Eh they hire MECP certified people who can pass an open book test. Whoo fucking hoo. I may not be able to do an alarm and/or remote start but I guarentee I can sell circles around more 'car audio shop' salesmen. I love it when even years they still don't look to the internet to see what other brands might be a better choice than the 'main stream' shit they sell. J

WTF are you smoking? Unless the car has been wrecked, then yes, as long as you know even a little about them then they are instantly loud..... So why don't you have one, and why are there other vehicles used, and why are Explorers and Cherokees beating CRX's? I can think of 3 people right off that combined have had 6 or 7 CRX's, none of which were loud, only 1 was wrecked. Why is the vehicle excuse used all the time? Every time somebody has anything pretty loud, it's because of the vehicle? What about Excursions, are those loud? How about a no wall Excursion doing 158's @ 29 hz on the dash? Must be because Excursions are loud..... No? Didn't you just say "The Blazer will be louder in no wall scenarios?" So why can't a CRX be louder than a Blazer if the Blazer is louder than the Mitsu? CRX's can be louder, but it doesn't become an instantly loud setup because it's a CRX or any other vehicle. You still have to know what you're doing like with any other vehicle. Children, children, children. CRX's are EASIER to get loud than most vehicles. The reason for this is beacuse of the amount of info available on previous results. They have a great setup to pressurize, and they can hold ample equipment easily. I have done CRX installs and had zero problems making a loud setup. Did it take testing? Fuck yes. BUT there was infomation readily available to study to base my install off of. J

I'm not going to claim what I am about to type as proven FACT but it is merly my OPINION. As to the making nothing on SMD subs, and him paying the money and money for the gear he uses as giveaways......... I CALL HORSESHIT. Sorry but it just don't add up. I know there has to be a company or man behind the curtain here. And I mean besides Chicken. It just don't make sense. Don't get me wrong if it is actually him shelling it out of his OWN money not money from RF, DC Alts, or Chicken then cool. I just don't see it man. I really don't. J

Go to a pull a part yard bro. They all over AZ. Shouldnt be over 20 bones. I know $$$ is tight but skimping in one area to ensure you can get to work is well worth it. J

Seriously just feels like tired muscles. I actually feel like I rode 150mi on my bike a day or two ago. Almost a "good" pain, but not when you didn't do anything to earn it. I know that feeling.........Maybe running around with your son? I know a few hrs when I go back to NY with my daughter leaves me WRECKED. J

Lookin good man. Quite an inspiration to trucks everywhere. J

I like the spacer idea..............Makes alot of sense. J

So Stetsom 14kd? J

Levis 514. Thank me later. \ I only shop at AE for cargo shorts. besides that, i stick to ralph lauren polos and levis jeans Again a lack of room. I despise nut hugging jeans. I am a person who enjoys some room in his jeans. Not falling off my ass but definatly not tight either. J Try something like these http://www.gussetclothing.com/ Not half bad man...............So far the only jeans I own more than a pair of is from Marc Ecko. J

Pinched nerve or compressed disk? Hope its not lymes bro. J

Riding the sled maybe? J
