Darn americans, in other countries ppl don't even have to pay to get in.
That is a terribly uninformed comment, I am paying my oldest's loan and my youngest's fees up front... I am their scholarship program. There are price breaks for in state tuition but it still adds up

I haven't bought anything from them, but the word of mouth I have received about them isn't good. So far is reliability, and timely service is concerned

If you guys haven't heard of the sight, do you got any suggestions where i can find some cheap 1.2-2 farad caps?
you don't NEED a cap for your system, just so you know [img]tongue.gif[/img]

FOR SURE???? It just doesn't make sense? I mean, i don't see how upgrading a couple wires will keep my sound system from clipping. But i guess you guys are the geniuses.

So an upgrade to 1/0 gauge leading to all power equipment will keep my amp juiced. That is gonna cost me like friggen $130 for wire and terminals and all that good stuff. WOW.
