    Man, Fay is exhibiting some incredible resiliency. It's been over land dumping rain for like a week and it's still a Tropical Depression as it sits over Georgia and Tennessee now.

    When I walked in tonight my roommate was watching The Hills on MTV. Dumbest show ever. Here is how every scene plays out: A few people, usually girls or maybe one guy with girl(s), are talking about some drama-related subject about how somebody doesn't get along with somebody else or something totally superficial. After the "bomb dropper" line, shots of people looking at each other ensue for at least 10 seconds. The first is of the person who "lost," who just looks totally surprised that the other girl would say such a thing. Switch to a shot of the second girl, looking like yeah I said it, so there. And then maybe a shot of a third girl in the group, and she just looks like she wants a big cock in her mouth. Rinse and repeat 10 times, and hey, you have an episode! 3/4 of it is just shots of people looking somewhere else with no audio. wtf?

    man, I have like 6 bug bites on the insides of my thighs from fishing last night. But the worst is the one right under my groin. wtf. I don't know how that happened, I was wearing jeans.

    welcome to grown-up life!

    I feel you. I've never had them before either. But now if I don't take an allergy pill my eyes get puffy and itchy, and not to mention runny nose. The worst is that if I don't take my allergy pill I'll get so much drainage into my stomach while I sleep that when I eat breakfast in the morning I'll get nauseous. That was the weirdest thing to try and figure out. I'd be sick for days.
  6. I've seen the inverted surround popping up in a number of places recently. Is that solely for smaller total depth?
  7. I'm not sure what that means. I was just saying don't get that particular kind of speaker. A 4-way coaxial is a waste. If you need door speakers, we can recommend some. Just tell us what size, budget, install plans, etc.
  8. I believe he is in sunny California nowadays
  9. I'd do 15" Q
  10. A lot of guys with G35's need some assistance in understanding stereo's. Not only is it not the greatest idea, but it is rather a waste of money. and still, once again, you don't NEED 2 ohm components to match those factory amps. Anything above that impedence will work, you'll just get less power.

    i love our cooper s. we are talking about adding another one to the family and letting the boy have the current one. it's definitely a big, fun, fast and quick go cart. and with the 6 spd, it's just too much fun. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I've always thought those would be fun little cars, but I'm not sure how practical it would be for me. I'm 6'3" so not only would I question how well I'd fit, but half the reason I got my SUV was so that I wouldn't feel like i'm lifting myself off of the ground every time I get out, or vice versa for getting in. That's a long way for me to crouch down to get into every day. With my Explorer I basically slide right in without having to drop my hips. I love it. i'm 6'2" and 228pds. i fit fine. the doors are huge, the seats go waaay back and it doesn't give off the feeling of being as low to the ground as it actually is. my son is 5'8", and sitting behind my wife, he has plenty of room. in short, it's not a family car, but can do a short bit of duty and it's not as hard to get in and out of as one might think. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Same with my dad's Accent 3 door. I'm 6'0" and I have managed on more than a few excursions to curl up in the backseat to catch some Zzz's. Works fairly well for up to three Americans, luggage included, as a matter of fact. Nice car. three americans? What is the ratio of americans to other nationalities?

    Yeah, starts here too. Tuesdays/Thursdays are my busy days, I've just got one tomorrow. At least one of them is with a prof I've had before and liked a lot, it's my one 8:00am so that's important Back to school, back to school, to show my dad that I'm no fool. School's for fools, look at me! eheeheeheehee!

    Not all of them no, Got tired and wanted the door panels back on. Going to get some plexi from work and seal the rest of 'em up this week. The door panels come off in under 20 seconds so thats not a problem at all. eww purple interior.
  15. ditch the capacitor, that's wasted money. Ditch 4-way coaxials, the extra 2 "ways" are worthless. As abxx said, get some components instead. I also agree to get 1/0 gauge wire, probably 2 runs of it. 4 gauge is not enough.
  16. Shush nick. ^^don't know chit about chit. It's true.
  17. still? you did once?
  18. KU40 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    And what are the answers?
  19. yeah, I mean power is power. Kappas are all right. The ones I heard were kinda bright, but they were a coaxial. With a component set you should be able to dial the tweeter down on the crossover.

    mine was issued in '02, expires in 2051 so when I'm 65 I've gotten some weird looks from that too lol WTF? I have to get one every 5 years and it costs me $80. $80 for 5 years?? damn!! ours expires every 3 to 5, depending upon driving record. safer drivers go longer between expirations. but it's only $15. i'd love to go 40+years and not worry about renewing. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Mine expires in 2011, 6 years after I got it. Don't remember how much it was though.

    Man that sounds backwards to me, ha. RWD is the worst for the winter IMO. 4WD is so nice for the winter, especially when there is packed snow on the ground. You don't have to worry about the rear end sliding around you on corners on a RWD or the front tires just skidding straight instead of turning on a FWD. But those usually only happened if you gave it too much gas during the turn. All my previous cars were FWD and I did all right, but my Explorer is 4WD and you can just flip it on and not have to worry about a thing. I plowed through 10-12" of fresh snow on the lawn at my grandparent's farm and it was so fun and never even hinted at getting stuck. No way I could have even tried that in my old car.
  22. Do you really have the electrical capacity for 8000 watts anyways?
  23. don't worry about the power. Figure that out once you decide on speakers. You'll likely end up getting something between 50 and 100 watts per channel in a 2 channel. That's pretty average. The amp is really about the least important piece of the system.
