Whats your average marks per round in cricket and average points per dart in '01 games? So here is my list of dart: Target precision p001so 16gm, laserdarts blackwidows 16gm, viper pitbull 16gm, 2 old sets of brass darts i forget the brand of them, and 1 set that i made in machine school had to make them outta mild steel so they are really just decorations or show pieces.

As for my averages, in cricket about a 2.5 marks per round and for '01 games aver. somewhere in the low 20's.

see if you can sell your store credit to someone and go to woofersetc.com and get this HU http://woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction...;Product_ID=760

get yourself some course thread drywall screws about 1 1/2 or 1 3/8 in length about every 3 inches or so.

here is another amp that you should definately look more into and those 2 subs i mentioned be to go with this amp nakamichi use to be top of the line stuff not sure if it still is but the price of the amp is knocked down 500 some bucks http://www.woofersetc.com/p8138/PA1500--Na...r-Amplifier.htm

Go with hifonics Try this amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17598_...+BXi+1610D.html and 2 of these 15" subs http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_20259_...cs+BRZ15D4.html that will put you a lil under 500 not including the shipping. call sonic up over the phone don t order online you can neg. price of stuff on the phone when you place a bigger order like that. I got 10 dollars off my sub for making the call and it was only 170 to begin with.

all i have to say is WOW

I definately think i am going to this school yeah I am not expecting to make 50k/yr with only 6 months training but i am hoping to make between 30k and 35k. I went to a similar school for machining but it was a free schooling. but in my area all the machine shops are on lay off right now even hard to get a job if you have 5 or more yrs experience in machining around here so i am thinking this would be a decent somewhat cheap education not that 13 grand isn t alot but compared to other schooling it is cheap. and i feel the more certificates and education i have the better I will be in the long run. thanks for the input guys.

they give you 4 test vouchers, so you have 4 chances to pass these each of these tests 1 time or you could use all 4 vouchers on 1 test if you need to, but the exams they prep you for are the MCTS Windows vista,Active directory, network infrastructure, and then finally the final exam is the MCITP server admin. So i guess it is possible to walk out of that school with those 4 certificates. they also give you a MS textbookl, MS lab manual, MS software(so your computer runs exactly like the 1s at the school or at least the same programs), then also finally selftesting software i guess same as practice tests. They also claim n average starting salary range between 30k and 40k per year. The school cost $13,500 it seems like alot of money but i was looking online for these practice tests and they cost about 70-80 bucks a piece, and the actual exam is about 200-400 bucks, So it looks like you get close to 1,000 bucks in just exams not including the practice test. Then the MS text book and lab manual are probably another 400 bucks, and microsoft software could run a grand or more retail value anyways. So this is just my guess is that your paying about 9k-10k for the education - the supplies.

I am just wondering if anyone here went to this school it is actually called computertraining.edu? They have a school in the pittsburgh area near where i live and i am thinkin about going to this school. That is also the name of their website. So if anyone here went to this school and actually completed it let me know how you like your job and was the school helpful with finding work? I found alot of people online that badmouth the school on blogs but most of the people either didn't go to the school or didn t complete the school or just mad at the school cause they didn t get a 50k/yr job right outta school.

The only MTX i remember being any good were the black gold but geez those would be at least 10 years old.

check out these components if your open to ideas. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_16224_...o+S600s-07.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_13942_...rt+PVI+216.html http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_9567_Focal+165+KF.html I have a set of MB Quart discus 5.25" and have had them for about 9 years and they still sound good. but really i don t think you can go wrong on any set of components that are selling for 300 price range or more after all you get what you pay for.

Hey I am just kinda curious why you can't build your own box. Is it cause you lack a table saw, maybe just not that good with power tools,or don't have power tools? If it is cause you don t have a table saw don't threat that part find yourself a small local lumberyard that has a table saw not home depot or lowes they only have those big saws that stand the board on it s side and it doesn t have a ripping fence and none of the cuts come out the same(trust me). Or if you don't have power tools my local home depot has a lil set of 18v ryobi tools for like 130 bucks i think you get a drill, circular saw, flashlight and vacuum the set i got was i think a 5 or 6 piece set and it came with 2 batteries and 1 charger. so i am not sure how many batteries that set comes with. So anyways my point is get a few tools if you don t have any and buy a couple sheets of MDF and play around with it some that way you can have a true custom box that you made yourself and fits alot better in your car and you can also be proud of it cause you made it. PS alot of lumber yards charge between $.50-$1.00/cut after your first 2 cuts so make sure you get your exact sizes. I got my MDF cut for free cause i went to HS with the guy that runs the lumber yard.

PS the reason i didn t use any braces is because it is a 12 in woofer that only requires .9 cubic feet so there really isn t any room for braces.

well the box is almost complete I just put the back side of the box on today and just put 1 layer of fiberglass on it through the speaker hole. When I am done there will be 3 layers of fiberglass total. The only problem i did have is there are a few air pockets is what i want to call them maybe while it was drying it bubbled up some and i am guessing there is no way to get rid of them besides sanding and reglassing it also guessing they won t do any harm either.

I am only using the fiberglass for a lil extra support I current have an old RF hx2 12 that handles 500 watts rms and it flexes the hell out of the particle board that i used for that box. I just got a PPI pro 124 that can handle 1000 watts rms, with this box i am using 3/4 MDF instead of particle board. I just want to be safe then sorry so i don t have to rip it out and redo everything. maybe 1 more layer though I have 2 done right now as we talk time to start the 3 layer. thanks PS i don t have alot of experience with fiberglass either I have made a quite a few boxes before just never 1 that could handle this much power.

I am wondering if 2 layers of fiberglass will be enough to reinforce a sealed box or do i need more layers?

A sub box is a new cardboard box that subway has patented to keep their toasted subs warm for you till you either get your yummy sub home or to your table. LOL sorry LOL ]
