happy birthday Hope you're having a good one.

Wow nice work, i can't even tell that box is 10 cubes

EliteGroup/ECS 15" laptop 1.6 Centrino (1st gen with 1 mb cache) 512 megs RAM(forgot the clock rate) ATI Radeon 9600Pro 128MB RAM Soundblaster Audigy2 NX 40 gig Western Digital 5400RPM hard drive 120 Gig Maxtor HD in external case 200 Gig Maxtor HD in external case Windows XP Pro CDRW/DVD Combo drive (unknown brand)

I currently use a Sennheiser HD590, Superb SQ but open air so i can still play games with it on. Gets a little bit of distortion from my computer. Sony always makes great sounding earbuds. Sennheiser is good bang for the buck, cheap but good SQ.

Well, this week is finals as stated before. Only 2 more years of grad school Living at home so i can get some cash put together. Working on getting my car decked out. Would ask Jamie to help with my system but you got plenty to do as it is Since it doesn't seem to want to get cold this winter, will at least tape up my trunk and get some resin in there for fiberglassing after leather is put in.

Jamie's an Ed whore School's out so it's time for me to check out Jamie's Show system. See if i can get some tips from you on doing fiberglass since you will be busy this winter ...

If i cared so much about mileage, i woulda just gotten a 4 cylinder. Besides, gas mileage depends on how hard you drive the car anyways. Though I doubt i would be driving like an "old grandma" with that car.

It's the cover for an amp basically. It helps dissipate heat

Yes they are nice, I had a couple of Hifonics SQ which were actually based off of the W6 design. I was still able to sell em even though for pretty cheap.

According to their website, the mounting depth is 5.48" or 139.1mm

I will finally have time to work on my system and my leather seats are going in.

Arc Audio and USAmps are not budget amps, they are pretty expensive, not sure if they would fit in your budget. I don't see many if any online places that sell USAmps other than Ebay.

I got another option for ya if you are set on matching. - 350 for Pioneer 8600 - 350 for koda components shipped Acoustic Visions or at www.visionaryaudio.com - 300 for one pair adire tempest shipped - 170 for one orion audio 600D - 150 for the previous orion audio 300/2 That's 1320 so: - 180 left for box and wiring.

Once you get hooked, this is a never-ending buying hobby All the refurbs i've gotten have been very close to new condition, shouldn't have many, if any, scratches. I would concentrate most of the cash on nice speakers and subs. The amps are secondary since they don't really "make" the sound. Unless it is for show, i wouldn't bother matching amps. I'd rather just get decent quality ones especially if i was on a budget like yours.

Damm, seems like everyone's heard the rainbows in here except me. I have a hard time ranking em seven though i've heard a few sets in my time. I guess i would rank em in this order: Focal Eutopia, Koda 6/infinity kappa tweets, DEI Studios, Hifonics Zeus, Kicker Resolutions

I don't mind refurb items at all, especially if it's done by the manufacturer. The premium vs. the SE? I would do the premium any day. larger XMAX, can handle as much power, higher BL, and better sensitivity. When I have my 2 RL-p 15's installed, I'll let you know more details.

- Pioneer premier from ebay is about 330 shipped - same orion amp = 150 - CDT CL61 components is 160 - Same soundsplinters = 459 - Ed Nine.1 is 315 - Wiring and box = 86 give or take a few bucks.

XXX's retail price is higher but from what i hear, their direct price is cheaper than the brahma. They are rated at 1600 watts RMS but it is box dependent. I'd still get a Brahma over the XXX

I'm always workin during the LSU games. Man it's taking forever to get my install set up. Too much work, too little time.

Wel, XMAX is linear so i would say adire at the moment, but i wouldn't call their Parthenon sub conventional

dang you're like a QVC junkie i know of. Maybe you should sell some of those unless you had the money to use up on them in the first place

Dang, that's a badass install. When ya gonna help me build one of those?

Wet suit what? Any link to some of these?

I have a lot of sun down here in LA so it might get yellow over time but i will test it anyways.
