The map on this web page from the weather channel has times to expect it to happen in your area. http://www.weather.com/news/annular-eclipse-view-20120516

This looks like a interesting show lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfntplpPCa0

Not a bad deal but I went with this deal from Audio Savings. 125ft of 14 AWG speaker wire for $14.95 shipped http://www.audiosavings.com/products/Website/Cadence-14-AWG-Gauge-125-Foot-Blue-Car-Speaker-Wire,-True-Gauge-Wire/125+FEET+14G152M-BLUE.aspx

I dont see anything lol

I got the tinting done yesterday. The guy did an awesome job. It came out to $125 total for stripping off old tint and redoing the tint. We did 35% on the front doors and 20% on all back windows. Also a 20% brow. Ill get pics later.

Well I priced around today and looks like prices vary from $150-350. The shop that will strip and retint for $150 said they use Suntek brand tint. And they offer lifetime warranty. That should be a good way to go right?

Well I plan on getting my girlfriends 1998 Nissan Altima retinted. It will need to be stripped and retinted. The tint on it is all bubbling and faded. I know prices will vary but I am just looking for an idea so I dont get ripped off by a shop. I am probably going to go with the legal limit which would be like 20%. Well any info will be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Mine was a beat up Legacy LA670

Its an awesome battery! Carquest has a rebadged Deka battery called a NGT Xtreme (I think) and Sear just started getting DieHard Gold AGM's same as the Deka's too. All of them have pretty good warranties on there batteries.

Do you still have this HU?

Has anyone bought any of this yet? I am still trying to find some decent 1/0 wire.

Well guys I recently picked up a 1993 Dodge Shadow. I wanted to put a little system in it. I have a RE SRi 10" but I am leaning toward a 8" woofer because of the limited space in the trunk/hatch. I am not really looking to meter really high or anything like that. I just want something that sounds great. Both probably do sound great but I just cant choose between them on my own. They are both have about the same specs and about the same price. So any help or suggestions would be great! I planed on running one of my older amplifiers to push the single woofer. The amplifier is a Profile California AP1200 (600w RMS @ 4 ohm bridged)

Try opening the system in "Safe Mode" and then try to use Malwarebytes. I had to do that with a friends computer in the past because how bad everything was acting up. Incase you dont know how to get to "safe mode" this will show you how. Just find your system: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/

Well I try to stay away from anything made by Johnson Controls (Autozone, Advance Auto, O'Reilly Auto, Walmart, Interstate, and Optima). I am a big fan of Deka batteries and Odyssey. Standard Deka batteries can be found at the following place. Sears Diehard Gold Sears Diehard Silver Sears Plus Start You can find the AGM Deka Intimidator batteries rebadged at the following places. Sears Diehard Gold AGM O'Reilly Auto (Super Start Extreme AGM) Carquest Auto (NGT Extreme AGM) As for Odyssey batteries you can buy them a Sears. Sears Diehard Platinum AGM I am highly stressing to get a AGM battery because of the durability and power the have. AGM means Absorbed Glass Mat which helps the batteries take more abuse. Also the batteries are completely sealed so you wont have to worry about acid or corrosion. Lastly the are just very beastly batteries. You will never regret any of the batteries I listed. Any of the AGM style batteries will hold up to your needs with cold starts. Batteries keep going up in price like every month or so the are jumping up like $10 here and there. I guess with all the Lead they use in batteries it just keeps increasing the prices. Overall any of them are fine choices to go with. Be ready to spend anywhere from $100-$220 for a battery. I stated all the batteries above because they are easy to warranty out if something were to happen. You can just go to a parts store or Sears to warranty the battery if something were to happen.

This 1/0 Amplifier kit looks like a pretty good deal for $46 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lightning-Audio-Rockford-Fosgate-0-AWG-Gauge-Amp-Kit-Amplifier-Wiring-/300631219096?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45ff045b98 Here are some pictures from another thread that someone has taken of the wire. The people that have bought it say say it is OFC wire. They also state it is 100% Copper. Anyone else have any experience with this Lightning Audio 1/0 wire?True 1/0? Is it really 100% copper?

how much for 1 run?

I came across a good site that has adscans http://bfads.net/Adscans

Well I am just seeing if anyone has seen any good Black Friday Deals yet. I saw at sears there is a pretty nice 3Gal Craftsman Compressor on sale for $79.99. What other good deals are out there?

CANT SELL YET

I took some pictures of my dog just a few minutes ago. He is about 8-10 weeks old. Like i said he is a Mix but we are unsure on what he is. According to my Vet he thinks Duke is Boxer/Pitbull. What ever breed he is we like him! We have been feeding him NutriSource. I am running out of the little bag I had so I picked up some Purina ProPlan over at Tractor Supply today. I really didnt plan on getting any Purina food but it was a deal I could not turn down. I guess there is a whole section where damaged bags are. I bought a 35LB bag of Purina ProPlan for $9.99(originally $39.99). It was marked down because it lost a few pounds when the bag was damaged which was 8LBs. So far he like the little bit I gave him today. Here is Duke:

Well I just recently was given a puppy(10 weeks old / I think its a boxer mix). I have been doing research on what food to get and I came across a website that had a bunch of information on different dog foods. I was going to just buy some Purina Puppy Chow over at Walmart until I saw how bad it was. Looks like alot of the big name brand foods for dog are not very healthy for our pets. Its funny now to look at dog food after reading on this site. Alot of dog food like "puppy chow" is mainly made from Corn and other Grains. The ideal kind of food for dogs should hopefully have actual meats in the food. So when looking at dog food ingredients look at the first few ingredients. From what I understand the first 4-5 ingredients take up the majority of food. So if the food starts with "corn, wheat, or other grains" its really not to beneficial to our dogs. I am starting to try to look for food that has at least have some kind of meat in the first 2 ingredients. Well I hope this helps all of you guys out! Take a look at the link below and see how you dogs food ranks. Link: http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/ Currently I am feeding my dog NutriSource Dog Food (Small and Medium Breed Puppy Chicken and Rice). The price isn't too bad for a 4-star quality dog food. I feed my dog 2 cups a day (one around lunch and one around dinner time). Edit: I found a link that breaks down most dog food by prices/pounds/formula. Its pretty cool if you are pricing around for dog food.
