Help dealing with my wife.....
Just tell her how you read that CarToys is being investigated for fraud.
"That's why I used to do all my business with mmxpress back when I was in it." If she still doesn't get it, then god help you... "TheBIessedDead" wrote in message ... Hey all, its been ages since I've posted here... I used to post pretty regularly under ..... But, I had my system ripped off, and haven't had the finances to really get back into car audio in a while. Ok, so here is my problem.... I have a real good suspicion that my wife is planning to purchase a deck and maybe a cd changer for me for a Christmas gift. She is planning on going to a small nearby city on the 20th with a good friend of mine, who isn't very car audio savvy, and getting something there. I fear she is going to go to Car Toys, and pay their crazy prices. I'm also afraid that she will not get me what I want, and I will need to pretend that I love it cause she's made such a great effort and all. The deck I want I can get on MMxpress for 199.99, and has everything that I need right now. I fear she will pay twice that at Car Toys, and possibly not even get what I want. I also know she has looked at cd changers with the fm modulator thing so she wouldn't have to get a deck at all. That I REALLY don't want, as I'd rather she just buy me the deck. My question is, how can I get my points across to her without letting on that I kinda know what she's planning to get me, and without sounding like some sort of a greedy prick. I just really hate to see her spend a ton of money at the god forsaken Car Toys shop, when she could spend half as much online and make me the happiest guy ever. Any suggestions? I'm desperate. heh Nick |

"That's why I used to do all my business with mmxpress back when I was in it." If she still doesn't get it, then god help you... Hmmm...Is this true about Car Toys? That would be a good bit of info...I might have to try that. |

cleaned up you want to get a deck from your car and you found a great one @..... Hmmm.... Not a bad idea at all. Though, I am a bit nervous of bringing up the subject. I used to spend countless hours looking up car audio info online, and babbling endlessly about it to her whenever she would listen... But in the past year or so, I've been very far from it. So I'm concerned about her catching on if I suddenly bring it up. This really sucks. heh |

You never know, she might get you a car alarm.
Nah, I know she was looking at decks and changers..... I'm assuming this is in reference to my **** being stolen, but I had an alarm when it was stolen. Had my system in my S-10 with an alarm for almost 2 years, and the FIRST time I forget to turn on my alarm, I get nailed. That was one of the worst days of my life. heh |

Insuring my audio gear? *Gasp* Why didn't I think of that? There is a big difference between being naive, and simply living with the risk. I looked into getting my stuff insured, but it was more than 5 dollars a month, and in this small town I slept well enough at night with simply an alarm. Had I armed my alarm as I always did, I would most likely still have my system. But of course, that is all pretty moot, since the reason for my post was not to cry about my stuff being stolen, but rather to ask advice on how to deal with my wife. Also, I have no doubt in her ability to pick out a decent deck... But I cringe at the thought of her paying Car Toys prices for it. Nick Apparently it is trendy to include a witty comment after the signature, but I'm just drawing a blank. |

Now that I am through with the sarcasm, your self proclaimed legend status does little to make up for your childish responses to my question. If you don't like the question, don't respond. It is as simple as that. I would have thought an "old schooler" like yourself would have come to grips with that already. I'm just gonna let sancho have you now.

I think what you should do is print out some docs on the deck you want and
go sit and look at them.. let her see you with them.. then just leave them somewhere, like on the coffee table or something.. make sure it has all kinds of details including price and where she can buy it.. If you are really desperate, drop a few comments about car audio before and after the whole docs thing. my girlfriend is very educated with car audio. And prices for that matter.. So i wouldnt have to do something like this, but some of you guys might. considering not all women share the passion we have for 12volt electronics.

This is what you need to do....
Find a print ad of the deck you want and tear it out, then you strategically place it in her latest issue of LOOK magazine. But whatever you do, don't tell her you want Tinkertoys or a football. "You'll blow your eardrums out" If you didn't get the christmas story reference, I was just kidding. I deal with this every year, I am very particular with my purchases and where they are purchased. For a few years i would wait it out to see what they got me, but I always ended up having to return something and hurt somebody's feelings. So I decided to be proactive and when they ask me for a list, I give them the list of all lists with Model #'s, Prices, retailers. I know it takes out the element of suprise, but clarity up front saves holiday headaches after christmas. "DJ TecThreat" beaniATcharterDOTnet wrote in message ...

"why is Sancho mean to me?" Believe me, I can more than handle a reg being "mean" to us newbies. I'm not the sort to cry over it. But my post wasn't a "Dood, tell me what brand is the best" Or "My system rules,you can hear it five blocks away!!!" or even "I have a cheap deck, no high end sound at all, but 8 15" woofers in my trunk... can I compete in a competition??".... I simply was looking for some advice from other married car audio fans. And I really doubt the "Just talk to her about it" logic. Considering that that would give away the fact that I know what she is getting me, and undermind her intentions of surprising me with something I'd really love. Nick |

I have been very happy with it, but the XM expandability would be nice Greg Well, honestly I have little interest in XM right now. If it were up to me, I would never listen to the radio. Though with the tape deck in my car right now, I find myself listening to it alot. I own enough cds to keep my ears pleased for the most part. Yes, having your stuff stolen is a horrible experience. I really wish someday that I could come across the idiots that did it. THey broke my window right in, stole my Pioneer DEH P5200 (I believe it was, it was about 2 years ago and I don't totally recall), and my box with a single RF HX2 12. It was ridiculous because I also had an Autotek XS 1500.1 which is worth more than either of those two items, and a Pioneer voice activated CD changer, which I also paid a pretty penny for. Plus a smaller Sony amp... the fact that they only took the deck and box was almost insulting. I was quite relieved though. But, I got married and had a kid shortly there after, so I wasn't really in a finanical position to start building a new system. I still have my Autotek amp, and an MTX amp that I've been saving... So once I get a deck I'm well on my way. My brother has my cd changer, so I'll get that back from him.. and I may even buy his Hifonics 5 channel amp, and IDQ 12 off of him, since he is going to Korea for a year and sold off his car. I can't wait to be rockin in my car again soon!! Nick |

Try XM, I hardly ever listen to CDs anymore Xm is awsome!
Sirius is darned good also.... TheBIessedDead wrote: Well, honestly I have little interest in XM right now. If it were up to me, I would never listen to the radio. Though with the tape deck in my car right now, I find myself listening to it alot. I own enough cds to keep my ears pleased for the most part. |

Sirius is darned good also.... Hmm... Well, my biggest concern is that 95% of what I listen to is metal.... Underground metal mostly, none of the crap I can hear on MTV... and I haven't heard of an actual metal station on XM. Also, is it subject to availability by area? I live in a somewhat remote area....We just recently got broadband access out here. Nick |

you might be suprised, XM sure suprised me!
I like 70s rock but not the mainstream stuff like the Eagles and Doobies, I prefer the stranger stuff like Genisis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Frip, and so on. Xm has several channels that keep me happy when I never even expected them to touch that kind of stuff. XM has a channel called boneyard which I thinkis heavy metal... there are so many its hard to know em all. Give it a listen it sure suprised me!

I could send her a spam Email from us. :-)
Like SALE: (Whatever head unit ya want) Just give me her email address (in private) if ya want me to do that. :-) -- John Spagnolo - teamROCS #016 Multi Media Xpress Car Audio www.mmxpress.com "It's about the music stupid!"

FAQ: http://www.mobileaudio.com/rac-faq/ JL Audio Tech Section: http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials MMXpress Tech Section: http://www.mmxpress.com/technical/ "TheBIessedDead" wrote in message ... Hey all, its been ages since I've posted here... I used to post pretty regularly under ..... But, I had my system ripped off, and haven't had the finances to really get back into car audio in a while. Ok, so here is my problem.... I have a real good suspicion that my wife is planning to purchase a deck and maybe a cd changer for me for a Christmas gift. She is planning on going to a small nearby city on the 20th with a good friend of mine, who isn't very car audio savvy, and getting something there. I fear she is going to go to Car Toys, and pay their crazy prices. I'm also afraid that she will not get me what I want, and I will need to pretend that I love it cause she's made such a great effort and all. The deck I want I can get on MMxpress for 199.99, and has everything that I need right now. I fear she will pay twice that at Car Toys, and possibly not even get what I want. I also know she has looked at cd changers with the fm modulator thing so she wouldn't have to get a deck at all. That I REALLY don't want, as I'd rather she just buy me the deck. My question is, how can I get my points across to her without letting on that I kinda know what she's planning to get me, and without sounding like some sort of a greedy prick. I just really hate to see her spend a ton of money at the god forsaken Car Toys shop, when she could spend half as much online and make me the happiest guy ever. Any suggestions? I'm desperate. heh Nick |

I called my brother today and he looked up the DEH P750MP and the 850MP at your site.. So he's going to talk to her and tell her that she should get a deck from you guys, and show her a few that I want. My brother has the 850, and I really love that deck. Though, for the extra 150 bucks or whatever, she could get me a decent component set to put in my doors until I can afford something better. I was eyeing those MB Quarts that are your deal of the week. Nick |
