    Welcome to the IHoP

    You guys don't run in the mornings part of training? If I tried that, I'd cough out a lung.
  2. Generally speaking, an 18" will have more cone area then two 12". Your head-unit only has one set of rca outputs: "2V rear/sub selectable preamp outputs," which means if you use the outputs for the subwoofer, then you can't really amp your front speakers. You could use the single output as rear, then use another device to split the signal for highs and low, but I wouldn't bother. Personally I would want to amp my front speakers, so I would end up buying another head unit. With a depth of 35.5", 17" height, and 40" width, and using 0.75" MDF material for the box, you have around 11 ft^3 to work with. Fi BL 18" requires 5-8 ft^3 for a ported enclosure, two ssd12 would require 3.5-5ft^3 total, and one ssd 18" would require 6-10ft^3. Brand new the 18" bl would be around $334 ish, two 12" ssd $400, and $254 for a single 18" ssd. I have no experience with trunk cars, but I would try an 18" ssd upfiring, and with the money saved I would replace the head-unit, front speakers, and get a nice 500w-1000w amp for the sub. If you aren't comfortable woodworking, and don't know anyone around you, you can get a box built online, but the shipping is hefty. Check out the vendor section here for box builders.

    Does Lindsay whalen ring any bells? She's killing it in the basketball Olympics. She's from mn I think.
  4. List a budget. Measure the trunk space yourself, I for one don't own a 96 Altima. Your goal of loud bass can easily be accomplished with the mentioned 18" Fi bl, but don't expect the stereo as a whole to sound that great. You wouldn't buy an lcd hd 1080p television only to hook it up to a vhs player.

    Almost at my top set in deads, and felt something funny in my lower back. Hope it's nothing.

    That blows. Fortunately for me I am not affected because I am on my parents insurance plan. Ironically though the whole idea of the program was to make health care more affordable to those who make less and have less access. We got a check back from Blue Cross Blueshield because of the new bill.

    Sounds like it. We have been seeing a lot of Fords that are tearing the splines out of the torque converter as well. If it is whining you could have a clogged trans filter. Glad to hear from you. Hope all is well. Indeed, sir. Hope all is well with you. Thanks.

    My cousin is having some issues with his 2003 4.6L f150 automatic. He says it takes off slow from a stop, and sounds like it's revving in neutral, then it gradually picks up speed. If he's driving around 50 - 60 then it sounds normal, but it's still slow to accelerate. I asked if it creeps forward at stop lights, and said it did not. Failing transmission?

    I just read an interesting article that stated creatine can reduce myostatin.

    Sean hit the points, but I'll just add that I'm sure it's healthier to eat animals that ate their traditional diet and roamed the lands vs being penned up, fed corn, and injected with over a hundred antibiotics to keep them alive from their living and diet conditions. If you have Netflix, watch Food Inc. I'm not going to agree with 100% of it, but it certainly has some good points.

    Rare poultry is ok in some cases...... just not in the case of what we get from the average grocery store. Sean, in Japan have you had rare/raw chicken? I've heard of that before, but any poultry we get is from the avg store. Perhaps if it was free-ranged without all the antibiotic cocktails. Free range chickens? Isn't that what the backwood hillbilly farm out in Arkansas has? Fuck if I knew.

    1 sub is blowing within seconds,

    If the signal got fuxxored from the rcas (possible shorting? I don't know), then amplified, I could see how it could destroy a driver, but if all the drivers are on the same channel same signal, and only one is getting trashed--that is weird. Since it wasn't mentioned, how were the drivers acting when "blowing?" Excessive movement? Little movement? Were the coils ripped, or fried?

    Sear hot, then cook low. Real low isn't bad. Much harder to time if you use 300 or so but the rewards don't suck. I would imagine it really tough to try at 300. Do you use an internal thermometer? Sort of, I use a calibrated pointer finger. I thought you only used that method for chicken and turkey.

    Those tabs barely take up any space, unless there's an issue with your browser, and they are always open?

    Nope, he bought a CX-9 because the Hyundai was too small for the family, and he saw how good my Mazda's have been. Ohz. Split the booth with Kevin, and you can give demos while driving. Might be an idea. Initially I read the italics above and I was thinking WTF Aaron!?! Kevin is busy teaching business ethics classes at the Holiday Inn.

    Ha, tell that to my kids. Let's see. I am gone 150+ nights a year so another 3-4 is acceptable? I knew you flew a lot for work, but for what ever reason I didn't put two and two together, and realize that many days away. Four days out of one fifty is 2 2/3% for the old man to have some fun.
