    Most of the time if you shop around they will quote you less because they give you less coverage. READ your declaration page, ask for a recommendation on how much coverage to have from an agent FIRST, then ask price and compare to what you have now.thanks. I've stayed with my current insurance since 06 when I bought the car and changed the plan a few times. After speaking to the agent my parents have been seeing for years I took it on faith that she was giving me a fair deal. comparing it to what my friends were paying at the time it seemed fair.

    i'm paying 750 a year for full coverage, 500 deductible and not sure what the caps are. haven't shopped around for insurance so i'm not sure if thats high for a 23 yo w/o any tickets or accidents. My brother was involved into two accidents before he was 20. i think he's still paying about 3k a year for full coverage on a sentra.

    Klippel measurements on Fi subwoofers

    if you're concerned over these parameters then why are you only looking at car audio subwoofers? why not buy a sub specifically designed for your application.

    something instead of wood.

    pvc pipe or some kind of plastic that you can staple to the outside of the mdf ring. there is some heat sensitive abs you can find online.

    got a 32" samsung for free and swapped it in for my main pc monitor. It's almost too much screen. moved my 23.5" to the side in portrait.

    you should watch some of the penn and tell: fool us episodes. live performance is more entertaining than camera tricks, in my opinion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ2ebs9F1ek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFUBK4dFQ4w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJurN3YDdIw

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I refuse to purchase Sony's initial console launches. I will wait 6 months to a year for them to iron out the bugs that will undoubtedly plague the PS4. For Scotch, single malt is key. Blended is a no-no. and FWIW, it is no secret I am a huge fan of whiskeys. Irish, Tennessee, Bourbon... but I am not a Scotch man by any means. Some of the PS4s people are getting are "broken" straight out of the box. Some issues with metal tab blocking part of hdmi port and faulty firmware. Sony has said it's an isolated incident, but it appears to be a bit bigger than what they're leading on. I'll probably order one in a few months once the issues are solved. I have been screwed by buying Sony's initial launch too many times. I am not surprised at all about the issues. I love their platforms, but I am not going to get fucked again. They usually get their issues fixed by the "slimline" release. My PS3 slimline is one of the original slims, and it still works. hard to tell how bad it really is. social media is probably inflating problems much larger than they actually are. though its not these issues that i'm really worried about. its 1 year down the line when your console is out of warranty and you have an issue like the red ring of death on the 360s. i've attempted to repair about half a dozen 360s that were bought over the years by friends. not all of them were from the initial batches so i'm not sure waiting a few months is worth it for those reasons. i'll probably wait for some decent games to come out early next year. we still have a original ps3 (fat one with the ps2 chip) that my dad plays quite regularly.

    Box Hz

    You're assigning relationships between things (box tuning frequency and subwoofer's Fs) that absolutely do not exist.

    New Component Speakers <$250

    choice of front speakers is pretty subjective, you need to hear them in person to decide which sound best. unfortunately, speakers mounted to a display in a shop will not sound the same when installed in a car (but you can probably determine your tweeter preference). for the music you're listening to you'll need a set that can handle midbass frequencies pretty well. strong midbass also requires deadening the doors correctly. you can read up on proper deadening techinique on sounddeadenershowdown.com installing the tweeter close the mid is probably a good idea. you could try other locations out as well. making assumption about tweeter aiming prior to installing and testing is incorrect. no way you can make any conclusion concerning performance beforehand. loud exhaust will not help the situation at all. Its like watching a movie in a noisy movie theater, doesn't make any sense. also, I would not bother buying rear speakers, this is another area that will only hurt the install. If you're concerned with space in the truck you could do an infinite baffle subwoofer install. this would involved a particular type/designed subwoofer(s) mounted the the rear deck via a baffle.

    Miata speaker choices

    the pillars dont look much smaller then my brother's sentra. i guess the sentra's do widen towards the bottom where as the miata does not. what about dash pods?

    Yes. I use it with my Roku. It is a serious pain in the ass to set up, requires devices to be on the same router, and it is far more limited then I had hoped for. If you have a device like Roku or GoogleTV I suggest you try it with the free app for your computer to link it to your device. Don't pay for your phones or other wi-fi devices until you try it. As far as I am concerned, it is pretty close to worthless. It doesn't like to communicate with my server on my home network. I have to link the server to my laptop to get it to communicate. It is one of the, if not the least used channel on my Roku. My friend who lives two states away uses it and he gave me his password. I can watch any movie he has off my Roku. Plan on watching The Hobbit tonight. thanks, i might try it out sometime What device will you be using it with? i've been staying at my grams 5 nights a week while we're trying to get her into an assisted living facility. I wanted to be able to watch my movies on my tablet or laptop. i was thinking about setting up the server on my mac with an external hdd. rather not leave my pc on.
