    Welcome to the IHoP

    Hey we will get paid, yay. At least we're not California. Our $200 million deficit pales in comparison to their........get ready for it.........$40 BILLION! Nice job, Ahnald. no wonder he's been on TV the last few months pleading for people to visit CA.

    Too bad I'm kinda sick so I can't fully enjoy it. My nose won't stop producing crap. But I will be watching a movie at an insane volume level today. The gf and I watched Vantage Point (great movie, IMO) last week and she made me leave the sub off because she was sitting right next to it and didn't want to move because it was the closest seat to the fire.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    I heard on the radio yesterday that there was an outbreak of armed robberies at convenience stores in Atlanta a while back. The police decided to take drastic measures to try and curb the problem. They put in one-way mirrors and a little safety room with an armed guard in it. If an armed robber came in, the guard came out and gave one command to drop the gun and give it up. If the robber didn't heed the warning he got blasted. They brought this up because I think Palm Springs is having a similar problem, but they don't want to go as far as armed guards. Too bad. Sounds like a good solution to me. Instead they just installed more security cameras.

    However my roommate, who works for the Federal govt., just told me that he got a raise at the beginning of the year (us staters? ha, yeah right). So that's good for him, and promising for you. :thumbsup:

    mli 65 crossover?

    Generally passive crossovers that come in the sets don't have a highpass filter for the mid. They only have a highpass for the tweeter and a lowpass for the mid. So it shouldn't cut any bass out.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Yeah government jobs are generally more stable. But they may be difficult to find at this time. I'm not sure if states out east are having similar budget problems as Kansas is (I imagine so, though), but because Kansas is currently in over $200 million in debt and unlike the Federal government states can't end the year in the red (year ends at the end of June), it has began a layoff plan. We have also been in a hiring freeze for about 3 months, and I doubt it will end before June. I was lucky to get my job just a couple of months before the freeze began, and one girl I work with got on like one week before. But if you can find a federal job you may be ok. I was gov't for a few years. My father in law is a contractor and I am going to cross my fingers in hopes I am able to get an interview with them. I read an article posted outside somebody's cubicle today that said state employees may not get paid this pay period if the state can't find funds to put into the account by the end of the week. One attempt at shifting funds by the governor was shut down by the state congress.

    Pros vs. Cons of refurb amps???

    This whole thread answered your question already

    Those are two different failings you mentioned, one mechanical and one thermal. Are you sure the voice coil is actually fried? They rarely go hand-in-hand.

    2x Q15" Can they handle the power???

    There's a chance they may survive on a burp (however small), but there's no way on a bass race. You'd want the BTL's, anyway, they're more sensitive and can handle the power.

    I hope Meade got his posted, here's mine

    It's not totally pointless to meter it, you could always use it to compare to the new amp and coils you're going to get.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Last night sucked for sleep. I was feeling stressed about my job and going to work today and I kept thinking about all of the things I needed to do and have go right. But I don't know if it was completely that or if my nap yesterday from like 330-5 hurt my need for sleep last night too. But I tossed and turned for an hour before falling asleep, then woke up a couple times, once at 4:00 for about another hour. I contemplated just going in to work early. But luckily I was able to calm myself down and try to think about other things, and fell back asleep.

    I always hate when I watch movies and people hide behind skimpy things that somehow stop bullets. Like they upturn a table, hide behind a little wall or a car door, etc. I'm always like man this isn't realistic.

    I LOVE my highs......

    Why? There is a reason our ears angle forward and we have elastic cartilage that also angles forward. We are designed to hear sounds from in front of us more than in the rear, you can thank evolution for that. I don't think the evolution of my ears changes the way I enjoy listening to music in my vehicle. I didn't choose to evolve my own ears to listen that way.

    time to lose weight.

    You just have to stick with it. I think I heard where the healthy rate to lose weight is only like a pound or two a week or something like that. Keep that long term goal in mind.

    Just for duran!!!

    AIM is not lame. Better than MSN, IMO, because you don't get stupid random "add me" wants from sex or singles sites or whatever. Lame would be if you still had ICQ.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Well the two places I had in mind to go for supper yesterday don't take reservations, and when we called both places had an hour wait. So we just went to the store and got chicken, pasta, salad, garlic bread, and brownies, and cooked it up ourselves. It was good. Plus we had the dozen roses I had gotten her as a centerpiece (although they were only in a pitcher because I don't have a vase, haha). Then we went to the stoplight party. Green attire= single, yellow= ? red= taken. It was kinda dumb though. When we got there about 5 people were dancing in a circle in the living room to ABBA. Lots of.......different.... people there. Only stayed about an hour before heading to the hotel
