    Yikes, Lasagna and no flour? Is your side dish to be protein based or more of a true side? Are there any reds you like? Your gf and my tastes may not correlate so well, lol. I like my reds big & bold.

    To where? Really wish Pandora had jazz like they have other genre's. As for what else, what about the Mingus do you like? Not like?

    Wowsers. Sort of like saying Metallica, Madonna, and the Sex Pistols.

    What kind of jazz? Narrow it down some. That is sort of like saying. Traveling where should I go. <-has around 3k jazz CD's.

    Then buy an older Mustang. Resale and money lost on a car should never be calculated any by any formula except: buying price - selling price. You can choose to amortize the repairs in the buying price or not, but that makes it more of a prediction. Adding operational cost and insurance and such is also of interest. Either way, I'd actually own a Mustang. No way in hell would I own that Subbie. Well, duh. What other formula could possibly work there? Resale ALWAYS needs to be thought when purchasing young. If you're going to dump $30K into a vehicle, you sure want to be able to recoup some of that money when you sell. I don't think these kids realize what they are doing when purchasing new vehicles at that young age. They need to be aware they are basically throwing money away. I realize its a no duh, but news to most people including EVERYONE who buys a new car.

    If you want to use it: IRP2+ IRP6+ IRZ6+ RVL-6 Will work. If not wiring wise if you can't pull a cat 5/6 to the same area the remote panel choices are limited; however, depending on your goals there are other options. So that being said, what is your ideal setup and how many rooms, sources, etc?

    I'd try to make the vent the size of the driver if possible. Less is okay, but if you go too far then you will start to approach something in between a standard IB enclosure and a very small volume enclosure with a slightly aperiodic vent. *if the sealed volume of that driver is appropriate for what you already have I'd try that first though.

    I have fun at every stoplight.
  11. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    I'm opening up the back of the kicks, so I figured I wouldn't have to. No? Going to need a bigger opening than most would if that's the case. If you have no volume in the enclosure then you can't have flow restrictions either. At the same time, make sure your driver is IB friendly then that you put in there. I just figured that you were making your kicks so big because they were to be enclosures. I also know that I've seen things (can't remember what as it wasn't on purpose) that digest expanding foam and thought maybe you knew something that wouldn't hurt the mdf and would digest the foam which would make that process even better. Pretty sure that would require a liquid though so you'd have to seal your mdf rings first...but again thought you knew of something that I didn't that would make a few things I'd like to work on easier.

    Why would you trade down? The only reason to be interested in that car ever is if you NEED awd. The interior sucks, its loud as hell, it is FAR from a drivers car, and it looks like some high school kids idea of how to apply speed fixes to a Honda civic. Outside of having both front and real axles provide propulsion it is really a step in the wrong direction.

    What are you going to use to digest the expanding foam after you glass your kicks?

    I definetly have big plans for the whole house when time and money permit. Speaker wire is already ran through the walls to most rooms. Sounds like you just need speakers, power, and a processer then. The house has "Niles" control panels but I don't have the reciever they control. At this point I think they are probly "outdated" but atleast the wiring is present. I have been trolling for a Sonamp 1250MK-II for power detail. The masterbed and bath have 8" ceiling mounted drivers already, but I will most likely update those as well. The Duraband setup was free and lets me jam Pandora in the living area so it will work for the moument. http://www.sonance.com/products/electronics/detail/230 The projects never end. Which Niles handpieces? Any idea of what wiring is connected to them?

    Good point Sean. Most of my experience is in writing, correcting and submitting evaluations, recommendations for awards, processing financial documents, and various other military related paperwork. Delegation, supervision, and suggestions as to how to accomplish a mission are all withing my daily duties scope. Degree as of now is in Business Management. I have considered psychology as well. If I got a 'no-name' paid for diploma I would go for Business administration, management, or psychology. As for the job I would apply for...............that is the hundred million dollar question lately. J And the 100million dollar question will determine the answer to the question you asked me. Honestly, looking for something along the lines of management, supervisory, sales, etc. My passions seem to lie in car audio, beer, travel, good food (possibly mediocre food for your tastes IMO) helping people with addictions, and advisory positions. I know at 27, with no degree pretty much anything besides car audio install and sales will be one hell of an uphill battle. J If you want to hire into a management or supervisory role you'll need experience. No degree in the world can prepare you for that. As for sales, if its technical sometimes a degree is helpful but usually its more of a crux than an assistant. Sales training on the other hand goes a really long ways. REALLY. Too bad there are so many shitty sales trainers.

    Do you think it's better for a college student to stick with one internship in their related field for a couple years or to switch if possible every year? Kind of a broad question, but I've heard different opinions on the matter. Depends on long term what you want to do. If it is exactly what the internship is then stick to it, if its something else a change is in order. Having a good reason for the change (usually challenge & goal related) is a requirement IMO. Makes sense, thanks Sean. My reason for changing has always been in line with what you've described. No need for serious shit like thanking, this is the hop. On the same note though others could give you an opinion. Just because I read resumes does NOT mean that I am normal or a good reflection on who does the hiring. If an argument breaks out, I'll bring in my sis. She runs HR departments and has worked with high maintenance hedge fund traders to call centers.
