Met some pretty cool guys that live across the street, going to loan them the BIB's for a party they are having tomorrow night. Attempting to get them sold and get some more $$$ in pocket.

by hit the fan i mean there' a reason teamssa is basically no more. the chit that happened with dave involved ramos and webster to a degree as well

That is incorrect. Teamssaudio consists of more then 3 people.

who are the other people? never seen or heard of them. just looked at the team section on ssa, and it states "coming sooon"

Team SSA (Dave,Ramos and I) made people at the shows recognize ssa as a true force to be reckoned with in sound quality. don't believe me, ask tom shaw(former world champ),randy eddy(won elite top 30, but lost to dave in meca) if they know who team ssa is and i guarantee you that dave,ramos and i will be mentioned and the list goes on of competitors that are impressed with our cars and sportsmanship.

Dave,ramos and I will be at Meca World finals. Any of you guys from ssa or "team ssa" are welcome to come by and get a demo.

Webster, that is awesome that you guys have done well in MECA SQ. The thing is that we had not heard one single person come to the website, shop, or Icon support page and say they saw the Icon at a MECA SQ show. And in reality, very few people have heard of Tom Shaw or Randy Eddy, even though they are very good at what they do and have accomplished a great deal. So when mentioned in small world of MECA SQ, yeah you guys are going to come up and people will know those guys, but in the big picture, it is quite the opposite. I know that you guys gave out a ton of stickers and brochures to people that came and heard the cars, and that is very cool. But the effects of that were not seen on our end. So the relative perspective has to be considered, especially when we are solely internet based and run.

Next, there are other associations and competitions outside of MECA SQ. We had a number of people compete early on in the season(s), (a few blazers one of whom is still active today, Aerostar van who is also still active, 2 door Tahoe, and a few others in the area of Phoenix some doing car shows too, but most important and notable of all, is the other owner of SSA, Mark did a number of shows and competitions. Mark had to stop doing competitions because we could not afford the constant expense of them. People have no idea how many hours he and I put in every week, and still make $0 from our efforts.

So once again, we are grateful for the exposure and time you guys put in, but we are such a small company and in no way can we keep up with larger more established companies when it comes to funding/sponsoring, and we went above what most companies do anyway, that is a cold hard fact. But I am done talking about this since the "team" was "disbanded" anyway. We have to focus our money and energy on things that will keep the line going and at some point put money in our pockets. End of story.

Aaron,

if my .02 is not wanted here feel free to delete or edit my post.

While I cannot and will not speak of webster, ramos, or dave in any negative light; I can only speak highly of Mark.

The shows I was able to attend mark was there. Pushing the hell out of SSA. Schmoozing everyone he could about how good SSA is, and YET never talking down to anyone about what equipment they used, or how they were set up.

I understand the fanancial aspect of him no longer going to shows, but I will tell you, he put one hell of a face on SSA, and I know the next time I get a chance to build a system, (whenever that may be) I will not hesitate to go for SSA.

I do not have anything to add...at this time at least

I missed what you added the first time and would like to know what happened. I have A TON of respect for all sides even though all I know is something didn't go smoothly.

Palin, it appears, did not pay taxes on the more than $60,000 of travel reimbursements that she and her family members reportedly billed the state during her 18 months as governor.

Not sure I understand, if it is a reimbursement then it isn't income but a business expense which you do not pay taxes on.

Found some good deals on some '68 Honda CL77's, not enough fuel capacity for me though I wouldn't mind finding the CB77 version though, or a late '60s CB450...I don't know why Honda totally abandoned the look of those in the '70s, they got uglier

The power adapter on the Dell laptop went out, again. The center pin in the coaxial DC connector broke off completely. Not to mention the cables were already starting to wear through the strain reliefs...just a shitty design.

SO I finally got the computer setup moved into the new room. No matter where I place the sub I have a cancellation issue. Guess the next move is seating position.

I also noticed that sitting 3 feet away from this 25" screen really makes it hard to read.

A lot of stuff got ugly in the 70s
