      About to post my part 1 draft :)

  2. Going to school in a couple months and I still have to get back to the gym first, quit all three of my jobs, and fill out at least five more extremely long applications... Back to work.

  3. It doesn't need to be expensive it just needs to be good. Usually those conditions aren't in agreement but once you learn what good is, of course, the rules don't apply.

  4. Some extremely nice RCAs for the money on eBay right now http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0&_nkw=canare+f-09&_sacat=0&_from=R40 just ordered a set for my new build

      Those look really nice, and prices aren't bad either

      There is really nothing wrong with these interconnects

  5. It has it's demographic. Some people just don't want to deal with the complexity of setting up a rig for something like this and just want to sit down and turn it on and have at it. It still has its place. But yes, seems outdated right out the get-go. But it has to retain it's price-point somehow. They finish designing these consoles long before release, they just can't be modern. I know what they cater to, that's the problem, it's a majority market that holds back software development because of its decade long hardware cycle. I suppose I see what you're saying about the price but isn't that why everything gets shitty eventually? LOL To be fair not everyone can afford to upgrade every year or two. That is why consoles will always be the biggest sellers. It's convenient in a world of convenience. You can build a gaming PC for less than the cost of a new console that will crush said new console until the next generation comes out.

  7. I knew that the 720/PS4 etc. would be dated as soon as they came out. What's new? Don't buy a console. Seriously, don't. Not for you, your kids, or anyone else!
  8. Different amps sound different. Period!

      Guilty, so guilty. Unfortunately my 4ch is in the shop with a cooked preamp IC

  9. My 4ch amp is in for internal gain matching. Why do people feel the need to goof with those internal pots? ugh

      My liquor stock is actually surprisingly low, I estimate there is only enough to kill six men. I have some rum called The Kraken I'm drinking right now, its some dark syrupy stuff, real good.

      I am fixing an audio shops job in my friends Challenger. He insisted on taking it there to put in an amp and sub keeping the factory radio, I offered to do it and he refused now I am on the re-do.

      Experienced the same thing a few times..now I refuse to fix shit if I offered in the first place and they passed me up.

      Last time I ever tried to help someones bad intall they taped the stock harness they cut to install the radio..fuck that mess.

      Good luck too you.

      Got him all sorted out. They used a speaker level to RCA thing and it the wires they stripped going into it looked like they had been placed under a tire and peeled out on. I cleaned all that up under the dash then re-ran the RCAs so they weren't RIGHT NEXT TO the power wire. After that just had to tune the amp, no problem.

  19. So enjoying Far Cry 3 (on PC) right now

      Love that game, But now Im stuck with grenade hand jason lol

  20. I've finally decided on a sub for the new build, going with the Pioneer Stage 4 10"

    1. purplesyrup

      I have not seen that sub until you mentioned it, googled it, looks really nice man!

    2. 8ight

      8ight

      A little pricey, I will source one since I only need one small sub it may as well be badass I figure. Wish I could afford the PRS components to go with it.

  21. I swear America is such an underrated band

      Give them a listen. They are hard to place in one genre.
