But animals taste better than vegetables most of the time. And the asians are mostly little. Though less overweight, no? Though maybe half of this country's problem with obesity is lack of self control and discipline with any food, period. But mostly twinkies I think. I personally hope to be getting some more asian in my diet soon, but damn if that won't take some time.

I don't like the rear tires. Not sure if it's the rounded shoulder, how they sit in relation to the wheel well, that they just look silly wide, or a combination of all of that. I just don't see the value proposition in that car period. Agree on the tires though deviating from the classic look could really help that car. will always be my favorite style

I just ate a jalapeño with dinner and i had cut it lengthwise before eating (to seed it) and the first half was not hot at all, second half was typical jalapeño hot.

Welcome to the IHoP
how in the name of shit did u fit in there. My right foot hits both brake and gas. My head is above the windsheild. Im a big fatty so I dont squeeze in, but your taller than myself so WTF???? I had to stop at lights nearly a block away to see them. No shoes on to shift, and the wheel was well tucked between my legs. 4" longer though and I might buy one. thats why people come in my size, someone as tall as you wouldn't look right standing up out of a car that small anyway.

ah the miss is gone in the fiero. Still a bit rough but I won't know if anything else is wrong till i drive it, and i have a page of to-do's before driving it...please stop raining for the next week. the revving/super charger whine is nice, but the exhaust is way too loud for normal driving. The engine being so solidly mounted leads to you being able to feel the engine....a lot, but so far i'm loving it.

Welcome to the IHoP
seat belts have always been a pet peeve of mine, #1, why is it considered uncool to wear one...seriously? #2, why don't auto makers put real seat belts in?

First real system, what components?
Don't use bass boost at all. You can eq on multiple sources, it just multiplies the difficulty as well (and usually redundant). Dash mountain can be in the a-pillar firing towards you, in the dash reflecting against the windshield, or even in the a-pillar firing across the windshield (more towards each other, not you). don't bother with the 6x9, get a good 7 or 8 in your door. Full range is a type of driver that will play most everything from a few hundred hz up ( http://www.madisound.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=45_241 ) by no means is this even your "best" option, but just one I am throwing together quickly http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1386 http://www.madisound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=45_241_282&products_id=8585 Where I differ from the other opinions is I personally wouldn't go 2-way with an 8" driver, but that's just personal preference.

First real system, what components?
the holy grail....jesus's pimp glass from his last supper. I meant there is no right answer, it depends on your install. mounting/aiming is almost 100% dependent on YOUR install, not your car, not your drivers, EVERYTHING. if you want to come close, try to get all the speakers the same distance from your ears, pointing towards you may work...but it may not (i usually don't like tweets aimed directly at me, i like window reflecting tweets, you may be like 99% of people and prefer them firing across the windshield). Get everything ready, wire up drivers and listen, or guess and hope for the best.

First real system, what components?
sealed vs ported is simply personal preference. I've heard/built good low tuned boxes and they always sound good, they just don't sound like I want them to. Every ported box i've ever ran has always at some point been replaced with a sealed setup. Hybrid audio is great, but not even close to his budget The absolute best mounting position for ANY speaker is 3" left of the holy grail....good luck on your search. The only way to properly aim speakers is to get it all wired up and listen to them in their places, wadded up towels seems to work well behind the speakers. Listen..adjust, listen adjust listen adjust....it should take a long time if you're doing it right.

First real system, what components?
Excellent post, thanks for taking the time to actually list what we need to know, but...where are you located? There may be some members close to you with nice frontstages. Do you want a set of components or do you want to make a set yourself (in my opinion you get WAY more for your money this way) Sundowns have great xovers IIRC and are more than versatile enough to go active. That being said, I would never personally do it. Adjusting a crossover from the amp is much harder than it sounds, having your crossover control at your fingertips while siting in the listening position is essential for me. Tweets: Where are they going? Stock location, are you going to make pillars? what size speakers fit? Any pics of the stock mounting locations? Mids: I'd go 7" here if at all possible, unless you can fit 8s, heh. Speakers to look at.... check www.partsexpress.com or www.madisound.com for DIY drivers and www.zaphaudio.com for a bunch of tests on speakers I dont' listen to a lot of metal so I can't really recommend speakers, I can say that if you're going to be chasing quick tight bass you may want to look at running one or two subs sealed (two to increase the output to your liking). I can tell you that I ran a 15" Q sealed off a 1500d and was beyond happy with the results, it could easily drown out my frontstage if I wanted it to but it was also extremely accurate. edit: crap lithium was way ahead of me, i type too slow
