  2. Touching Speakers

    in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"

    Posted

    [vent]why does it seem like whenever i show my friends my subs, theyre first inclination is to touch the speaker when its beating on full tilt. why... theyre always like "ouch" right after too like seriously? what the fuck did you think was going to happen? does it look soft to you or something? At first I though it was just one of my dumbass friends but now it seems like everyone noobish to audio just wants to touch it. pisses me the fuck off, plus when i had the sub facing up they want to toss their cellphone ontop of it and watch it get launched off. idiots dented my cone, ahhhhh fuck noobs. [/vent]

  3. Fresh Shoes

    Never buy shoes from eBay though. I've been meaning to buy some from the NikeStore you get to customize them.

    uhm the hype shoes are easiest to find/buy off ebay. I mainly buy all my shoes on ebay cause there are no legit shoe stores around me besides niketown in chicago and proletariat in boston. But nvm I take shoes to a different level I dont buy shoes from the mall or whatever because theyre too mainstream. Heres an analogy you may understand, its like buying overpriced subs from best buy and trying to rock them like you have the best of the best.

    where is here for you?

    purdue

    What are you looking for? I know you want Nike but are you looking for a Basketball, Running, Cross Trainer, etc... Where you buying from?

    i think hes wanting shoes that are hyped like stussy, supreme, limited drop vans, etc. at least thats what I think of when I hear "fresh" like shoes that are admired rather than using them for a specific purpose. shoes that are mainly for show.

    here are a few of my top picks

  10. Problems With Voyager (verizon)

    in Cell Phone Central - Sprint, AT&T, Verizon - All things Cellular

    Posted · Edited by Amalan

    wow that sucks ive only replaced mine once because i accidentally set my other one on fire but both of them have been trouble free for me. I love my voyager because hands down its the best texting phone on the market. plus the camera on it is one of the best ive seen takes really good pics.

    but to answer your question, no unless youre nearing the end of your contract you cant upgrade to a new phone through them. What you could do is buy a phone off ebay for a reduced rate than what verizon tries to retail them for when youre still on your contract and switch the service over. But thats youre only option if you want to switch. If youre really determined to switch, just sell it and buy a different phone with that money or post up on forums if anyone wants to trade.

  12. Thinkin Of A New Car: Got Caddy Cts On The Mind

    it still doesn't make sense to start a thread about it if you were 100% sold on finding a CTS. Psychology says he's looking for some input on if he's making the right choice, or he wants someone to give him a good reason not to get it.

    And resale value noted above is definitely a good reason not to get it. At least not until it's 5 years old, and then, what's the point. Imports hold their resale value so much better than American, plus with the situation their in right now, whose to say they're still gonna be around for 5 years longer. All that bailout did was prolong the wait time. Acura's hold their sale value better than Lexus and Infiniti because Acura/Honda's won't be bought and sold a year later by rental companies. I don't know much about German cars as far as a depreciation percent goes. Acura's your best bet.

    wtf? acura's dont hold better resale values than lexus and infiniti... since when do you see a ton of rental car lexus running around? german cars have the least amount of depreciation. i love how you say imports hold their resale value so much better but only focus on acura as the best... its not true at all. acura decided to hire monkeys as exterior designers they look ugly as hell now i would never ever drive one of the new tsx or tls everrrr.

    I know what you mean. It's that american suspension. No stiff Jap suspension will be able to match comfort with it's american class.

    mmm... id have to argue with that there are alot of nice jap luxury cars that are much more comfortable than caddys but caddy has that plush feel to it which i dont really like cause it handles like a tank with a lot of body roll. they compromise performance for comfort cause their previous target crowd was old ass people that have no interest in performance handling. cept i dont think this is really evident in the new cts. the new cts looks like a good bang for the buck.

  15. Good Daily Driving Power Range?

    3000 rms for subs.. 400-600 for mids/highs and 2 15s if you got a car, 2 18s if you got a truck...

    lol he said not enough to knock the windows out lol. 600 for just mids alone damn son your definition of a simple daily driver is more than most peoples competition setup hahaha.

    anyway go with the generic couple of 12s with 1-2krms on them and 2-300 on mids this would get you a nice bumpin system that would provide enough bass to make music enjoyable and bump when you need to show off.

    Between 30000 and 40000 is no resale value? Wow I will never have a vehicle with resale value then.

    ...? a brand new sts-v is 82,000

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-Cadill...A1%7C240%3A1318

    cadillacs are known for having no resale value...

    edit: the cts may have a higher resale value with all the media hype about it but it still isnt that good.

    Although I think them Caddy's are sick.... Just remember that the American Automotive industry is still quite shakey. That's why for the time being I bought rock solid German engineering. Then once the market here gets better is when I'll go back to buying American. It would suck to buy a car of that value and watch GM go belly up (although none of us want to see this happen).

    I'll tell ya too...talk about the best of all three worlds...got comfort, got speed and the car handles like it's on rails :D

    i love this car, ive driven a ton of cars and out of everything ive driven, this is by far my favorite. it has an elegant sense of luxury to it and very quiet interior making it seem like a tame luxury car til you hit the pedal and all hell breaks loose. are you going to get the vishnu v3 package for it? that would make this car absolutely killer and give vettes a run for their money. btw bmw's performance ratings on your car are conservative. they really run to 60 in about 4.8 seconds. i want to see BMW take the new 750Li motor and stick it into a 550i. twin turbo v8 550i would be sex.

    honestly if youre going to get a caddy, get a used one they have no resale value whatsoever. i think you could pick up a very nice sts-v for under 40 and theres nothing granny about the sts-v.
