steven and eric told me they sound good ib, but better sealed. weird install to me. especially if you run them in the kicks.

Sounds like a design flaw to me. Not many people will have the space or take the time to build enclosures for midbass/midrange in their car. I'll have to look into that more when/if I decide to experiment with those drivers down the road. Thanks for the heads up.

Makes me laugh when people get so excited about their "refund". So, you like loaning your hard earned money to the gov't for 12 months, interest and penalty free and then get excited when you get it back? Say you were to OWE the gov't taxes at tax time...do you think you could say, "Hey Uncle Sam, give me 12 months and I'll get that cash to ya" and they would waive penalties and interest? I think not. And now if you want your "refund", they are contemplating delaying giving your money back even longer! I have to laugh. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Reminds me of the golden rule, namely, he who has the gold makes the rules.

smartest thing you ever said here.... pat on back

except for the fact that we are discussing the STATES not having the money to give refunds, not the FEDERAL government. I'd be scared to see just how bad the US would have to get before the federal government wouldn't have the funds to give everyone their refund.

The only reason the excitement over tax refunds exists is due to the Americans' inability to manage their own money. If a person managed his money better, he would be better off keeping as much of it each paycheck than he would to 'loan' it to the govt and then get all excited when its returned at the end of the year interest free. Americans understanding their stupidity, that's almost genius. Wait, what did I just say?

Man you take everything super serious and have some pretty strong opinions on everything lol

I personally get excited about tax returns because it's like when you reach into the pocket of a jacket or pair of pants you haven't worn in a while and find 20 bucks that you forgot you had. You always had it but it brightened your day when you realized you were 20 dollars richer than you thought...

True, but really we could have had this money a year in advance. And especially if you wanna save it, put it in a dam savings account or cd so you actually earn interest.

Exactly the attitude Im talking about. Its not found money, its money you loaned the govt while charging them zero interest. Forget investing it, even if you had simply placed it in your savings account you would have ended up with more money by the time your refund came around.
I dont know why you view my opinions as so serious, quite the contrary. Cynical yes, serious... not really.
