    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I had one 3-4 years ago. IIRC the box volume was 1.5 cu ft. Box was 2.25 cu ft total, including the port. On rated power it never even got warm. Without modeling I would say 1.5-1.75 cu ft. 16-20 sq in port area per ft.

    I am stoked for you Steve! I have spent quite a bit of time in Southlake area. Thats a great neighborhood!thanks dude. Hopefully it all works out with the inspection. Has new roof, new pebble tec pool, and a few other things.I have big plans for the house after closing.Can't go wrong as its only 20 years old. You REALLY cant go wrong with masonry exterior. Does the pool have a hot tub section built in? I assume you are moving your construction biz up to the DFW area?the pool does not have the spa portion. We plan to add an above ground one near the house. Looming at the Arial view, none of these houses had the hot tub. Just a pool. The biggest draw for us to this house was that it had a pool and a decent yard.My company did ask me to move up there. Sadly I don't own the company though. Back in '09 I started my own subcontractor company. When it got slow I took a job with my competition and closed up shop. Fast forward a few years. that company got bought out by a firm in Minneapolis. They are the ones who asked me to run all the projects in north Texas. My wife works from home, so she can live in any major city that her company (Nike) has an office in. Can't wait to see the touches you put on the place! The house I currently own was freshly remodeled before we bought, but being me I spent a month remodeling again before we moved in. Easier that way at least. The construction trade is dog eat dog right now. Most of the work around here revolves around construction or housekeeping so have seen it effect a lot of ppl.

    95 Honda Accord Build Crossfire XS-V2 18"

    What is the total volume of your enclosure? I take it you don't carry the spare tire as I can see it in the background? Mounting a 70+ lb sub vertically is always fun!

    Nice! Will match my other amp for my F-250! I have bought used or acquired every piece so far. Alpine 9887 hu Memphis amps Seas 27tffn c/g tweeters (thanks Aaron) mids? Aurasound NS10-513-4a center counsel sub Sound deadener complements of Aaron also! As it's a work truck I would hate to buy new but still want steller SQ. ALL I am lacking now are the mids....Sean had some Seas Ca18's I wouldn't mind running. He never shot me a price though?. hint,hint Nice catch Speaking of buying used, only my mids and sub were bought new. 3 amps, headunit, ipod interface and midbass were all bought used. Generally ppl with high end equipment take good care of it so I am comfortable buying used. A funny story. I traded a tattoo for the Memphis MCA-3004. Is a guy I went to school with. He owned a local audio shop for a while and had used the amp on some focals comps that cost a pretty penny. I demo'd the Honda to him with only the Fostex FF85k's and a little sub, no mid's. Dude was blown away that a 40 dollar 3.5" paper cone speaker sounded as good if not better than his 1000 dollar Focals.

    It isn't about tall, but rider forward. Notice my IQr, there isn't a more rider forward sled on the market. It is WAY further than any consumer sled. Really allows you to get weight on the skis when you need to and on the track when you don't. I LOVE sleds that require an active rider.Rolling mine onto its side boondocking is way easier than in the ass draggers as well. I will never, never, ever, never own another low sled. Absolute horseshit for everything except super tight twisties if you want to relax and let the sled do the work. As far as deep powder riding the last place you want your weight is over the ski's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=DH-cLFcokgQ You need a ride a modern sled, you will change your mind. I assume you've heard the term wrong foot forward? The whole goal when side hilling is to get forward... I have rode quite a few different sleds, old and new. The last sled I rode was an M7. I have rode RMK's also which I assume is as close as I have been to your sled. I should of found a better vid for you. This one is more the terrain I ride. Might put things in perspective for you. I am sure you have rode quite a few sleds also, that's why I asked your thoughts on the higher stance. RMK could be if it was a 2011 or newer. M7 is an antique suspension wise.VERY familiar with your technique and since you linked schooled you should understand the 'wrong foot forward comment' which BEGS for a rider forward chassis. So much so I consider the other ones ass draggers and un-fun all the way around. ALL the sleds are going that route...well except the Yammies, but they made up for it by buying a chassis from Arctic Cat. I answered my own question. Any time two smart guys disagree I generally look for the missing variable. In this case I believe it to be the fulcrum point is different with the long track vs the shortie. As you see no one in that vid is hugging the tank, in fact the are standing on one side of the sled or knee on the seat. different center of gravity on that plane. Did you get my PM?

    I bought the daughter a new laptop and searched like crazy for a laptop running Windows7. Pretty much gave up and got the 8.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    As I am surrounded with females (even the dog) I have learned just to keep my mouth shut. Things the wife states are important to my daughters makes me shake my head sometimes but I understand. Just sucks footing the bill. Yes sir, that makes things much easier sometimes. After my parents go divorced I even got stuck with my mom and sister. Why you guys think I like hanging out on here? LMAO I just hand over the money and follow their lead. Not worth the fight.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I know we discussed riding terrains before. I realize the machine is built for your purposes. Whats your opinion on the taller stance on the sleds built in the more recent years? I know with my size I prefer a lower center of gravity to maneuver, but understand why lighter guys like the taller design.

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I have to admit they still look funny to me with the short track, like something is missing. Can't remember the last short track machine I seen around here. The closest I have rode was a wide track for breaking trails.
