Default Stiffening Cap Theory



I feel the same about you, you're as funny as they come. I like all kinds of
music, well other then country. I agree some people do have different
priorities and blowing up tweeters might float their boat, I personally think
that blowing up woofers is manlier. I did all the installation myself just as
you did, car alarm and sub enclosure included. I just thought that using an
enclosure that was made for totally different woofers then what I was using
would not yield the best performance. As for the alarm, I just didn't want to
upgrade to something better then what I had stolen to make myself feel better
whenever something got stolen 20 times over. I just didn't make sense up
upgrade the next thief as well.

By the way those were Canadian one and two dollar coins and that was my old
system. I'm proud that you are proud of your system, it's really nice. LOL
What's that old saying? It goes something like YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

Oh, I know, Howdy. Unless one can spend thousands and thousands they just
shouldn't even have a system, right?

You really are TOO funny. I don't know how old you are, but you act about
15.

One of these days, it's going to occur to you, that like music, there is no
RIGHT way to do car audio. Sure, there are some basic electrical
pricinciples that must be followed, but beyond that, there is no BEST WAY.
Right now, you seem stuck in the paradigm that unless you spend thousands,
have a huge alternator, multi-kilowatts of power, and can make pennies dance
on the hood of your car, your system is ****. Some day you will grow up and
realize that just as everyone enjoys different types of music, everyone has
different budgets, different needs, different priorities, etc. It really
all boils down to "whatever floats your boat". I don't have thousands to
spend on a car stereo, so I am forced to make compromises. But to me,
that's EXACTLY what makes it FUN!!! It's fun being creative! It's fun
saving money! You just don't get it. I'm proud, Howdy, yes ****er, PROUD
of my system chiefly BECAUSE of how little I have had to spend on it (and I
did all the installation myself), yet it sounds awesome!!! I have
absolutely no idea what your ON GOING Ghetto-fab infatuation with me is.
Perhaps, I represent some nagging part of your brain that is telling you
that you have wasted THOUSANDS of dollars. Perhaps deep down you know you
could have spent a FRACTION and still gained just as much enjoyment from the
MUSIC. Because, it is ALL ABOUT MUSIC, not dancing pennies, or blowing
hankies.

But I do enjoy our discussions, Howdy. You have made this group MUCH more
interesting for me (like Bob).

Hey jerkskin while on topic, Why not just patch your cheesy electrical
system
with another 5 year old optima and another ten .5 farad capacitors? Break
the
bank spend another buck.

Uh oh, Howdy, this could be YET another guy who thinks you're a jerk.
Just
three more and I'll have it mathematically proven (right now it's only a
theorem).
