I can be a personal testament to this... I first installed my 2 15" Fi Q's without sound dampening, and expectedly, the sheet metal immediately surrounding the trunk rattled obnoxiously, diminishing the volume of bass heard both inside and outside the car... After pasting the inside of my trunk with Damplifier Pro (and some appreciable amount of weatherstripping around the license plate and related trim) the bass inside/outside the car has improved what seems to be tenfold... when I demo my system the first thing people notice is the lack of "ghetto" trunk rattle... I mean, if you know instruments.. it's something like playing a note on the guitar with the frets buzzing - yeah, you will generally recognize the note being played but the resulting distortion takes energy away from sound... sql54 was precisely right - the energy being wasted on flexing and vibrating the panels of your car is that much less sound energy reaching your ear... simple physics/fluid dynamics (without getting too complicated) if you think about it =) So in short, yes, sound deadening is a great investment for any serious audiophile... and yes, Damplifier is a surefire way to go

Hehe... nice catch.... my rear door looks something like that but it was the fault of an inconsiderate (and intoxicated) neighbor =P

Yuck... if you'd prefer a more mature crowd I would stick around these parts... I was once a frequenter of CA.com but I felt my IQ starting to slip with each log-on so I came over here

I mainly listen to rap/hip-hop but when I'm in the gym, I find something a little more hardcore motivating for me... depends on your taste... for rock try some Lamb of God, A7X, something speedy, intense and fast paced... but make sure you throw something a little more low-key in for your rest periods or god forbid you blow a blood vessel... hehe =) Oh, and I know it's cliche, but in my gym they spin the 80's station every now and then... I'm talking Rocky-esque music (Europe - Final Countdown) ..... nothing quite like that to get you running up and down flights of stairs and punching hapless meat slabs

Sorry brotha! Looks like it aint happenin this weekend. Dont know where to go or meet up. Not enough input.... I am sure we will give it another go here soon. Dont go dying on me! Gah... it's all good... suppose I've been layed off long enough and need to find a new source of funds (aka JOB) before I go out and party all crazy like that lol... but let's definitely set this up for Houston I've never been out that way and want to go hang in the capital of swang 'n' bang for a change... heh... let's keep this idea alive guys we need a team effort for this to go down! Those who made it to the S.A. meet know how we do!!! lol

Chop, I wish your grandson the best... First off, sorry I'm a little late on this post - I had to watch my young brother whom I cared for since birth suffer from a skin condition much like your grandson's... for the first two years of his life his body was completely covered in bleeding sores much like you describe, which caused him constant pain and suffering... eventually diagnosed as "infant eczema" which we were understandably reluctant to accept such a simple diagnosis... we went through the same process erring on the side of caution and limiting his contact to potential allergens, foreign irritants, etc, etc but nothing helped appreciably... the only thing I can suggest which eased the irritation even a bit was oatmeal baths... he eventually grew out of it when he was a toddler. I hope your grandson's condition clears up much sooner than that however, all you can do is keep faith in the medical professionals and trust their judgment.. I'm sure he will be better soon.. I'll keep him in my prayers, keep us updated on his well-being..

So it's not goin down this weekend?

You guys who live in Houston, do you know where the good cruise spots at? Like where they swang up and down the road on them 84 spokes?? IDK thinking about staying Saturday night and leaving Sunday let's party it up

x2 On that man, I have a small studio set up in the house.. I'm usually in the lab makin beats or working on my productions skills... designing mixtape covers.. drinking beer... throwin' money at the Caddy.... Chasin' tail... Drinkin more beer..

Aaaaand.... nobody's in the balloon... MSNBC...

Holy crap!

Hey sorry guys, I've been fighting off a cold the past few days... lots of medicine and sleep lol... I will def give you a call tomorrow Godsmack...

All I'm sayin' is let's listen to some good systems, have a great time, meet up with some great people and drink some goddamn great American beer. That's all I'm sayin dammit

A kickass space MMORPG for those who haven't heard of it, the level of depth/detail of this game is mind-boggling.... you can follow pretty much any profession you want... be it miner, mercenary, soldier, trader, corporate leader, etc etc. And the virtual universe that you are able to explore consists of thousands of individual star systems... it's unfathomably huge. The best part is they offer a 14-day free trial (I'm on day 3 so far) and the download is about 1Gb, or if you purchase it off-the-shelf then you get a 60 day subscription I believe... check it out! There's even an in-game browser so you can browse SSA while you play

Yeah I need a new vid card too that premium content really whips the llama's ass... The game has a steep learning curve I'm still going through all the tutorials, but luckily there are really cool people on there that don't mind helpin newbies and the tutorials are pretty good too...

+ = Godsmack.... let us know what time is good for you man before you head back outta town

Dam if I'm goin to Houston I'm stayin for the nite and hittin' up some good clubs I know you Houston boys can help me out with that!! lol

LOL SSA pops right up with the search term, and the official Fi website isn't even on the page The commercial really hypes this new search engine up, but ironically I tend to end up with more B.S. results with Bing then I do Google

I dabble in graphic arts (avatar to the left) what are you looking for?

Haha yeah i remember that. I met Edgar not to long ago and we went over to Ingram and didn't run into any problems. We just went to the way back of the parking lot. On another note, I got into a bad wreck yesterday. The front of my Marquis got smashed up. Holy crap man you OK??

Story of my life! The best deals can often be found there though

Pasadena so you're right around Houston, me and a few people are over in San Antone, and you've also got a few friends around you if I'm not mistaken! Welcome

Well God Bless man, welcome back, and stay safe!
