    Boo, good ole boys.
  2. Only arbitrary fabric stores, the last time I bought fabric at Autozone it was like $7 so that was pretty hard to beat but also 3 years ago.
  3. Super cheap grey stuff at Autozone that works. beat me to it.

    They commited to an answer by Thursday or Friday. I bet it's not untill Monday however. 90% or more of us have a month of severance(some many months worth) if they do let us go, and my bet is they keep us onboard for another month before the actual severance date. There is open enrollment comming up and to transition 30 some odd employees would be pretty wild. I am almost garunteed not to get the supv job, but I've been thinking about it more and more. I would really love it, if it's the job they say it is. I have been working on a training program here, and recently I got to see a custmer care presentation that could really tie into what we do here, and it was developed by a director of relations from a different campus. I think with her blessing and use of her notes/input I could make something FAST and do some AMAZING work for helping our office help people much better. Just basic customer service type things, but it's everything we don't do. Her presentation really got my hampster up on the wheele. It's "above my pay grade" to even think about this stuff, but I suffer watching how we handle situations, and I get asked for my input every time they do another "training" anyway. 10 years in sales/customer service management had some pay off I guess. That and Dale Carnige. Perhaps it is worth repeating your motivation to the hire-er I did. It was a profetional interview, I came with my game face on. I'm just going up against people with 36 years in this office. Qualifications, motivation, and skill don't mean as much in those cases. Sheisse

    Yay for the suga-momma. Personally I'd like to be a stay at home dad, but that wouldn't work income wise.
  6. The Sundown is in a different class than the other two and for only $35 more it is a steal.

  8. The 1cuft is net, meaning you have to add space for the port and the sub. As for a "blueprint" It is rather vehicle dependent so some more background might yield you a better response.
  9. By last three I meant the non-RE/AQ. The RLp isn't an output fiend so regardless of power I don't think it is right for you. A BTL will be louder than anything on your list if that is truly your goal.

    so you complain about me 'double posting' but wont help at all, nice... And if you read the noob guidelines I told you to you'd know why, having an attitude isn't going to help you get the answers you want nor will make uninformative threads.

    By lights of course I meant lights, radio, and tv (if I ever add one)
  12. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Yes. My brother just made a extra cord and plug to switch out his stove and saw since he doesn't use both at the same time. I figured I'd actually make a switch so that I could use either 220 or 110 depending on what hardware I am using in the garage. Stupid house currently only has one circuit in the garage for all the lights and outlets. Basically I'd use that for lights and the 40A for the rest.

    Any interview results Matt?
  14. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Just thought about starting to look for one a couple days ago. Are the Uni's 220v? If not, does that buy me love? I am about to (yeah I know procrastinating again) replace my electric 220v stove with a gas which will free up a 40A circuit for my garage

    "I'm Tired" by Robert A. Hall" I'll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce,` and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I've worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired. Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth around" to people` who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it. I'm tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them with their own money. I'm tired of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros, and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela . Won't multiculturalism be beautiful? I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. I believe "a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin." I'm tired of being told that "race doesn't matter" in the post-racial world of Obama, when it's all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois. I think it's very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less arrogantly of an all-knowing government. I'm tired of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. I'm tired of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures" we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue, or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance. I'm tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global` warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough. I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don't think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. I'm tired of illegal aliens being called "undocumented workers," especially the ones who aren't working, but are living on welfare or crime. What's next? Calling drug dealers, Undocumented Pharmacists"? And, no, I'm not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic, and it's been a few hundred years since Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I'm willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person, who can speak English, doesn't have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military... Those are the citizens we need. I'm tired of latte liberals and journalists, who would never wear the` uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people than themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years and still are? Not even close. So here's the deal. I'll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered Marine Lt. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian. Then we'll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the only troops in history that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear. I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the " Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet as well. I'm tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers, and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor. Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing. I'm real tired of people who don't take responsibility for their lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems. Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I'm not going to have to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter. Robert A. Hall is a Marine Vietnam veteran who served five terms in the Massachusetts State Senate.
  16. Assuming this is for a car, I'd target Mark's recommendations. 1cuft and 33Hz. Great choice

    Problem number one: Its a Craftsman table saw Number two: Its a Craftsman table saw Go and find a unsed Delta Unisaw to buy, put a bieselmeyer fence on it, extension tables, and be happy. What would that run me?
  21. Really? You are making another thread asking what about these? Please read the noob posting guideilnes. Threads like this just muck up the board and will get you no useful information as you will just get subjective responses by people who haven't heard them or compared them to anything else. Step 1 with comps. GO and listen to them. Perhaps then tell us what you like about them and what you don't and if there are alternatives that would address your concerns. So how do YOU think they sound?
  22. Making a decision based on power handling will not yield you the loudest setup. Personally I'd axe the AQ and RE off your list and go with one of the others. The last three will be more box dependent than anything.
  23. Holy Grail, lol. I am still waiting for the explanation that you promised, exactly how do these "work". All I see is "they said" and "they told me" and then the claim that you have an intelligent switch and a simulated alternator with no explanation of how this happens.

    I was a mega noob in Dec, but am getting somewhere. Too much to absorb without practice though and just shooting pics of Aidan isn't particular good practice as half the time you are trying to get an expression more than worrying about the rest of things.

    I definitely take too many shots, but use each one to try and figure something out. Understanding exposure isn't as trivial as one would think before trying.
