$100 12's
elcamino74ss replied to Ricky A.'s topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
I know its a pre fab but I got my polk box with 2 12" polk db subs for $149 new from frys on sale. They seem to be as good/loud as most other entry level subs. -
Sorry to also post here but I've found someone local selling an RE SE basket/magnet with the FI BL soft parts was hoping for some advice on if this seems like a worthwhile combo? Seller is asking $150 for it. Also would this be an upgrade from my 2 polk db 12s in a prefab box assuming a proper box is built for the RE/FI hybrid? Thanks for any words of wisdom or advice!

12" Level 3 in Glove box Build
elcamino74ss replied to mikey060's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
Mad props for the unique build. I hope you like how it sounds so all that effort pays off in the end. I agree the plexi window would be hilarious or perhaps put a photo of a normal open glove box on the so its like an old school wylie coyote cartoon -
I'd 2nd the waiting. my entry level setup I got cheap except I'm already wanting to see how big of an amp I can go on my stock electrical and get some better subs that can handle more. If your patient you can find some deals. I know they are entry level but I got my prefab polk box with 2 Polk DB 12s for $149 new from Frys electronics sale and my Punch 600.1BD I got used off craigslist for $80. If he's wanting something cheap for now I'd look for someone who is upgrading and trying to unload a decent amp/sub combo

$500 System Ideas
elcamino74ss replied to Maxim's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
Check the for sale section here or the local craigslist I picked up my prefab polk db1222 box for $149 on sale at a local fry's electronics. They aren't bad for now but I'll likely upgrade at some point. My amp I got used off craigslist for eighty. I already had all the wiring so it was easy to test the amp worked. I even picked up all four of my 5x7s off craigslist for $90. I know my current setup isnt anywhere in the league of the typical SMD member but for a starter set up on a budget its loud enough to annoy the neighbors and the wife fusses she can hear it in the house from the driveway -
Agreed. A managed gig switch is very pricey. What's wrong with a little 5 port linksys gig switch? I have one of those I use for my wired connections back to my server.

Anyone have knowledge on web design?
elcamino74ss replied to JEMT8's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
I hate to say it but do some research on the software, buy a book, snag some templates and just play. That is the best way to learn html. I'm not a heavy web dev but have taught myself html over the years and today was working on how to drop cookies on hosts. You will learn and retain more if you do it on your own or at least put some effort into it then ask specific questions when ya get stumped. -

SMD HEADQUARTERS! New workshop! GOT MY KEYS! (Pics)
elcamino74ss replied to meade916's topic in SMD NEWS / ANNOUNCEMENTS
This looks to be the ultimate man cave. I can't wait to see some hair tricks with those banners hanging from the ceiling So many possibilities. Will be a fun journey to watch and see what a guy like you can make of the place! I hope you don't shake the place down the first night you get the hoe in there!! -
Antivirus Software
elcamino74ss replied to thegreat22's topic in Computer Talk - News, technology, advice
I'll agree with Avira or AVG. Microsofts new security essentials is also not bad for free. Having worked at McAfee I can't recommend their products too much -
PHASE 2 - Moving SMD to a dedicated server!
elcamino74ss replied to meade916's topic in SMD NEWS / ANNOUNCEMENTS
Good to see your doing good things to keep the site up and running strong. Dedicated servers aint cheap. Any chance of sharing the specs for the techie folks of the new server? -
