Didn't expect that, was expecting it to go to CrApCO. Already there, seems to be following a forum and product mode0, but vary on business ethics it seemsl.

The W8 is rumored right?

Read that topic. Apparently unbeknownst to us, the DD-1 changed the car audio world.

Hum, can't answer simple non-technical questions, over pay massively to get a section on different forum, change link on home website to new forum section......

Could have sworn I processed an order for some IA 6.5's yesterday....

I am declaring myself intelligible for the prize, but I feel I should add my peace. This is a very sad day that I knew was coming for a while, but did not want to admit to it. Mike was and still is, one of the best people in the internet based, high end audio business. He is one of the very scant few that puts honesty and service first while realizing that it is not about massive margins made from mediocre product under over promised pretenses and fanboy hype. So let me back up a moment, Kent (mrray13), one of our very valuable long time members of SSA as was a part of how we shaped this place in the beginning, shot me a PM back in 2004 I believe. That PM essentially brought my attention to this great little brand that I knew where it was being built and I had been very familiar with what had come out of that factory. We got a hold of Mike, and come to find out he is super laid back and a great guy that was not trying to make a quick buck or push product. Once I had the chance to use Soundsplinter in my own install, I was always supportive of the great product. It is a dark day in audio when someone like Mike, has to bow out, and slimy product pushing grease ball predators are thriving. One positive piece of car audio is no longer. During a transitional stage of the SSA forums, bringing on manufacturers to the forum, (something only SoundDomain and SIN were doing at the time and look how active they are now ) Mike and SoundSplinter was a no-brainer addition. Mike was excellent at providing great info and communication even when his personal affairs were far more important. I strive to get us (SSA) to follow the standard Mike has set. Mike would never settle for a less then top end product with his logo on it. For a good while, the RL-i and RL-p was the educated choice of many, the RL-s was the choice of the nutty in the head types, but in a good way. To this day RL-i 8's fetch great money used, nearly 2 years IIRC after the last one was sold. There are some things in my audio collection that will never get sold, even in the worst of times. A signed, limited run RL-p triple slug and a BNIB RL-i 8 are apart of that going to the grave category. One last personal note, through a few rough patches in my life, Mike was always there, and that means a great deal to me. I hope people snatch up these Orphan 8's as Mike is giving them away, seriously, at this price. Mike, we wish you the best of luck and health in your future adventures, and SoundSplinter content will always remain on SSA as a reference, PM me if you would like to discuss how. Soundsplinter will always have one of the coolest logo's:

Why thank you sir. I will actually be ordering a 5100 for myself shortly.

Running back-up's, so we might be slow for the next hour or so.

Better sound through marketing. Oh wait, that's bose What's locked?

Very low A-hole level here. Few surpass my a-hole level, and I try to keep mine moderate to low.

Load up on lean protein. Higher weight, slow movement, long rests between sets, low rep count per set, major muscle groups at first, at least a day or two rest between hammering each major group and sleep is very important. The last part I am not very good at.

Try to do one or the other. Very hard to do both simultaneously.

Yup. Secret to life right there. Set goals then break into smaller parts then start achieving. Have you read the article about why video gamers make the best body builders? It's so Damn funny. And true. No, I have not.

If they can slide into one of the USPS flat rate boxes, I am sure a bunch of people would jump on it as it would save on shipping more, but then again I don't know over all dimensions.

Julian, just like audio, having a firm grasp on your goals is very important before starting.

I don't have a personal trainer and work 2 full time jobs. Come train me, I don't know wht the fuck I'm doing at the Gym. Focus on making it habit, learn about form, dietary needs, start light and work up from there.

I think we are getting away from the inherient differences between sub woofers and amplifiers. One is (at least for us) a stand alone design, where as what was mentioned above, it was a re-badged copy.

Looks great sir. Would you be interested if we did a combo buy for TeamSSA members who are competing?

Looking good!

From your shoulders or strength? When I have gone above this during under grad when I could afford to eat everything under the sun because of the handy meal plan, did not have much damage. Now, I do have some damage on my left side, so there is a point during the top of the rep where pain from discomfort comes in. If working on it regularly there is no pain during any pat of the reps range of motion. Just lifting it off the posts and getting it over my chest. The 7 or soinches of movement before the press is really tough on me. I would guess now with a better food budget I could do better. Now its a time issue. I'm just far away from the gym it takes too long to work out(lift/run) and shower. I could maybe swim but it would still be tough especially as the blue hairs love mid day swimming. Have you thought about a select-a-weight system? I would love one.

I have not watched what his training routine is.
