Yes the black ones are for summer and the OEM for winter.

Let me know when you get the HD. I would like to hear your thoughts on all the music.

[why?]

nice. 45 mpg is awesome. Of course I am pretty sure the sedan generally gets better gas mileage. I am happy getting 32 mpg right now because I only drive 250 miles or so a month.

gah i need to start on my audio plans, tax season is almost over finally.

Something tells me you will come up with something good.

Yes, when I saved that screen shot pink noise was playing.
What should I used?
Do you need a special track?

I should send you one of my rule books for IASCA.

Not a lot has changed in the program for a long time, save for classifications (for the most part).

I got the drive, 1 million thank yous!

First 60 miles with black wheels and new tires...
what can I say going from old snow tires the ride feels like heaven.

The ride is quiet, smooth and responsive, so far I like the new rubber.

Some thing I found very interesting... what's going on with people and my Yaris with "black wheels"

for some reason a lot of cars where trying to race the little Yaris this morning... Naahhh I just let them go and think...

"man! my car sounds better than yours"

WOW!!!

5,614 Files, will I ever going to listen to every track.

YES I'M!

Thanks again...

do you have some in specific tracks? that I should go through?

D.

[sqcomp]

There are SOOO many! The single tracks are the latest of what I'm listening to...

The King's Singers, Brooke Frasier, Canadian Brass, the Focal CDs, the SQ CD file...

There are just so many. MJ's albums.

You'll have some repeats in there but a vast majority is all different.

...of course go through the IASCA CD.

Look who gets the best gas mileage. Derrick here averages 42, Malibuguy gets ridiculous, and just browsing the fe forum, besides STC and Hershey, the ones at the top all have sedans. Plus, the extra length of the sedans help gas mileage. There are reports out Car companies are having tough times with the smaller than sub compacts achieving worthy gas mileage because the cars are just too short.

I need to think on the definition of good. At this point I am worried if I buy expensive stuff right off I will blow them up. If I start with cheap components and good wires, when I figure everything out and blow up the cheap speakers, I can replace them with better ones that won't be destroyed.

I browsed Scott's build on that Infiniti on line. Oh my. Even just the wiring. Overkill much? Does it really take some super compound wires to win World Championships?

Hey D, are there any audio meet ups coming up? The DIYMA forums seem surprisingly empty on any audio meets in Mass. Unless that type of stuff all happens at shows. Or I am blind. Both are possibilities.
