Just curious, what shop did you go to? PM me if you want. I can probably complete the install for a lot less money than a retail store. But I also have another friend that runs a shop in town that is very trustworthy.

Speaking of ED.. Elemental should have offered this line, not Absolute.

Cry me a freakin' river. Find another post office. There are 2 post offices in Newton alone and TEN within a 12.29 mile radius. Or do what Ant suggested, since he actually has a clue. Another great example of that world-famous ED customer service.

Got pics yet?

Wanna get my active front stage on! Lemme know what you got.

LOL.. love the "higher model number must mean it's better" mentality. FWIW, the 9835 and the 9855 are the last *great* CD decks that Alpine made. The 9855 gets negative points because of the awful GlideTouch face. So I'd crown the 9835 as the winner. I think the 9887(?) that's being...

Take two. Would you sell the amp by itself?

Would you sell the amp alone?

I would urge all those who argue in favor of rear-fill to attend a local SQ competition, if possible. I was lucky enough to attend the IASCA World Finals this year, as it was held in my city. Wanna talk about SQ-oriented cars that sound amazing? All of the heavy hitters were there. It...

I'll vouch for him.. sold me an amp for a great price and shipped it promptly and in great packaging.

I'll go out on a limb and say that most people don't know SQ when they hear it. While it's a little subjective, an "SQ sub," to most people, will sound almost nonexistant. Peerless XXLS is the way to go for true SQ. I haven't heard anything as accurate as the XXLS. The JL 12W6v2 is an...

Horns are great for efficiency. They are 8 ohm drivers for the most part but the efficiency is so sky-high that it just doesn't matter. 50 watts at 8 ohms will make your ears bleed. The problem I see? Having an 8" mid try to keep up with horns. Not only is it much less efficient, but you'll...

You are not very far from some living legends of SQ-oriented car audio. There is tremendous opportunity to learn further. -- UGA '03 alum

^In the same vein of cheesy 80's pop, anything Michael Jackson has really done since "Thriller". The man had deep, deep pockets when recording his albums and always got the absolute best sound engineers to mix and master his stuff. Also, the King's Singers (a capella). Excellent vocals and...

Alice in Chains - MTV Unplugged One of the absolute best live recordings ever. You get a huge feel for what a real sound stage is all about. This CD, when listened to in a GREAT SQ setup, should convince everyone to ditch their rear speakers.
