I don't know about Illinois, but here in Idaho you can work for a farmer moving pipe, you get money and get ripped when you are fourteen.
September 16, 200816 yr i am not disputing ur point. valid it may be. but ur talking to people like ur a principle of something. all i am saying is that i think ur words may be a bit much. if u want to talk about respect then all posts should be in that manner. he didnt do anything excessive, so i just didnt see why people started nit picking at every facet of his threads. my only point. and have you ever seen me do anything that showed a lack of respect for the forum? i respect the opinions of members of this forum and greatly appreciate feedback i receive. i just wanted to state my opinion. but no hard feelings or disrespect intended to anyone.
September 16, 200816 yr i say wait til you get a car to start experimenting with crap. then you will actually have a use for the stuff your doing.Home audio is a perfectly fine option for him, if he wants to experiment - being in Chicago I'm sure there's no shortage of "real" audio shops to visit and audition what a real audiophile setup sounds like
September 16, 200816 yr Admin Maybe this thread has turned into something positive that people can learn from. DSB, as jim mentioned, you could easily start learning and experimenting with home audio for sure.

September 16, 200816 yr Hey deepsubboy, where do you put your books in that pack? Granted I havent been in a junior high or highschool in a long time but I'm pretty sure kids still need to carry books, paper and school supplies.... I'm also partially surprised you haven't burst into flames walking around with all that messy wire on your back All the finger wagging and flaming aside, a backpack full of speakers pales in comparison to the trouble I was causing at that age, and I'm sure many of you older folk can relate unless you've forgotten what it was like to be a rebellious teenager. It doesn't bother me too much, where I grew up the 14 yr old kids are now conducting armed takeover robberies on upscale restaurants and their patrons, and the city has enlisted volunteer militias to try and stop them because of inadeqate law enforcement. You gotta remember it's all relative, better this kid is polluting your ears with a silly speaker project than holding you up at gunpoint....Speaking of offensive noise pollution, do you guys know what "whistle tips" are?On another note, I've seen a guy on a sportsbike around my college with a speaker backpack. Its got a hard shell and it gets pretty loud, I think it's prefab too. Anyone know what it is? ps. mild grammatical corrections were made to this post as a respectful gesture to m5
September 16, 200816 yr You gotta remember it's all relative, better this kid is polluting your ears with a silly speaker project than holding you up at gunpoint....I guess your right there... but what if he held you at gunpoint with that thing on his back?
September 16, 200816 yr great point i would rather be around a kidd who has great ideas and is just LOUD rather then being robbed ir my windows broken out... my car spray painted or on and on and on.
September 17, 200816 yr You gotta remember it's all relative, better this kid is polluting your ears with a silly speaker project than holding you up at gunpoint....I guess your right there... but what if he held you at gunpoint with that thing on his back?Gear, I'm not saying that I'm right, or that anyone is for that matter. I just wanted to provide a balanced perspective for this kid, and everyone else posting in this topic. It's really easy to superimpose our point of view on a situation and assume that every-one else operates under the same guidelines. I know when I was 14 I was a real chit.By the way, if you get robbed in Berkeley, Oakland or San Francisco chances are your assailant WILL have a backpack full of speakers, and platinum teeth crusted with diamonds. Not only that, chances are your perpetrator might kill you for no reason and then start turf dancing and/or giggin on your lifeless body. Now that's humiliating!
September 18, 200816 yr Interesting thread. Alot of good points made by the older forum members. DSB, I really like your creativity and drive to do something different with your free time. It honestly reminds me of when I was your age, trying and getting crazy ideas for car audio, long before I could drive. However.....Keep the backpack at home honestly, and spend some money on a good set of headphones and I think everyone will apperciate that .You have a promising future in home or car audio, but just like Jim and numerious others have mention, just need a push in the right direction.
September 18, 200816 yr Author An update on my school situation, my backpack has been banned. it will be confiscated and possibly destroyed if it is seen in the building again.

These militias are a great idea and they should be given the power to execute these little bastards in the street when they are caught doing something.
