[QUOTE="ghostmechanic, post: 5664081, member: 607257"] I joined a few days ago & just realized I've been reading & laughing so much that I forgot to do this. I'm not any good at intros. I'm an older guy that was into this hobby fairly heavily but, it's been a few years. I just kind of decided it was a PITA, I guess. I rebuilt loudspeaker drivers as a hobby for MANY years & also designed & built from scratch. I hold a patent on a subwoofer magnet that I never got around to doing anything with. I still have the drawings & maybe I will now that I'm older. I was also a big gear head but I kinda grew out of that. Recently I've gotten burnt out on my other hobby & decided to get back into this one. I see a lot of things have changed. There's little made in USA & brands that were once good either are gone or have been bought out by some crappy company that farms everything out to China. Lovely. One thing that's cool... I see a lot of the guys in this hobby are really into "old school" amps & such. I really feel the amps that were made here in the USA were always the best. I took for granted that that would always be the case. [/QUOTE]
