Dusty check out Parts Express. They have some really good prices on car audio. Not sure about under seat subs, but there are a few low profile sub drivers if you can find a box (might be one there).

Congrat Reks!

J.P. that's awesome! Reks, Huge congrat, and many years of wedded bliss! Al, Wow, just get better soon buddy!

I think it's short for SHIT ON LOBES. So happy Michael beat Ryan last night. I like Ryan too, but this is Phelps last hurrah.

Gorgeous Tom!

Marc was dead on about the F5/K1000 combo. He recommended I build the F5 before he actually heard the combo IIRC, but was pretty sure it'd be the right amp for the K1000. As much as I love the b22, the F5 is the better match for the K1000. Now if it just didn't double my electric bill for the month.

Happy Birthday!

You may be onto something there Dinny. Cables with built in components.

Apparently I mangled the stylus/cantilever on the Zu/Denon cartridge when I packed it and shipped to Naaman. Bummer!

^ Ditto

Good luck!

Happy Birthday Todd!

I think my redneck Father was really disappointed that I had no interest in sports as a child, and it showed. In seventh grade I had my first woodworking class, and made my Father a center console and shifter handle of Walnut for his beloved '66 Chevy pickup. That was the first time I remember seeing pride in my Dad's eyes. My Father grew so much in those years, and stopped comparing me to my older Brothers completely. I have no doubt that Alden is going to become a valued member of the community, and a very successful man. What a great kid!

The HD800 - Beta22 combo was also a poor match IMO. Very recessed mids with that combo.

I'd pit the speaker cables Nate builds (and taught me to build) against any. And they look fantastic too. I also am lucky enough to have several pair of his SE and Balanced cables. Also cables from Fitz, luvdunhill and a few others around here. If built with quality wire (I'm not talking esoteric, just good quality) they sound as good as anything I've heard. I've definitely come to the conclusion that cables do not provide anywhere near the difference that cable manufacturers would like you to believe. The only bad cables I've heard are those made with shitty wire (not intended for cable use) or crappy solder joints. Now I buy/trade from these guys first, or if I need something really fast, then SignalCables.

Having a Dad that spends quality time with you is even better. Good on you Dinny!

If you feel you want something a little more boutique-ish, (ie dressier looking) then don't forget SignalCable. He makes a nice looking cable at a reasonable price.

Damn Shelly! You need to find a lucky charm quick!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

I'm tellin' Miss Cleo I want my money back! There's no Space needle in DC. Best of luck Jeff!

Happy Birthday!

^ I call foul! Give up the gossip or else! I just called Miss Cleo, all she could see was the Space Needle.

IDK, that monitor doesn't seem to have a very clear picture.

I've not heard the speakers, but the names involved instill confidence. my guess is that they will be very good. I'd imagine a sub would be helpful for the low end.
