Sorry to hear Greg, best of luck Man!!

Here's hoping this door closing will open a few more for you!!

Yup

I hope to report that it lives up to my expectations.

I actually kept coming back to this unit...I'd find something else that caught my attention, but always ended up back at the Premier...pretty much for the reasons you outline Greg.

I was looking for something with decent specs and a classy look.

Oh yeah, for sure. I've never been a fan of double din, but this unit just screamed to be part of the Lexus dash!!

I just grabbed one of these:

I'm in Colorado next week, so the install will be a while from now...but looking for some opinions.

Imagine that...Turkeys in Ottawa!!

Buddy of mine uses his Mac Mini as a HTPC...works very well

Thanks Guys!!

Would you happen to know if the Sapphire series uses the same input caps? A buddy of mine has been running his 3.0x and a couple 1.0's since he got them back in 1997 (probably a good idea to replace his too) and I'm thinking I could order new caps for him at the same time I order mine.

OK...so being paranoid about leaking caps, I finally took a good look at the 2 MS275's I've purchased over the last couple months. One looks as if the caps have been replaced already (3 nice Nichicon 16V, 5600uF reside on the board as per DrFosgate Spec)...the other is still sporting the factory 16V...

Bought a TLD66 off Brandon.
It arrived beautifully packaged and in fantastic condition. It took some time to arrive, but he warned me he was busy, apologized for the delay, and was very good to deal with.

I'll happily deal with him again (and I hope to)

Thanks guys! Fuzzy .. that's right in line with what I was thinking. I may have to bug you if and when that happens. Z .. that device looks like an inexpensive way to get some analog recordings to my computer. The site says 'good for recording' does that mean it comes with some form of recording so...

Obviuosly I'm no computer guru .. but when I hear 'sound card' I think of the open circuit board thingy that plugs into a tower's extra slots. I assume there are USB type? And are they housed in something? Run on USB power or 120v? I would like to know more about this subject for my own needs. I ha...

Just a matter of finding Mac drivers for whichever card you choose

OS X drivers for pro level sound hardware is pretty standard these days

True enough...I just have had little luck finding Mac drivers for the one I have.

I'm using a Turtle Beach Roadie (now the SRM) as an external sound card on my laptop to hook it up to my home system...can't see why it wouldn't work in a car too. The Roadie (SRM) is nice cause you can output in 7.1 analog or SPDIF and input either an analog or SPDIF signal as well. I always wanted...

That looks killer Dude...well done!!

Thanks SMG... Funny part is, as part of my repair I put HS onto the leads of the sub that didn't have it. I assumed that the one's with HS from factory were V2's as well, but thanks for helping to confirm that. The TS parameters for the V1 and the V2 are different and I just want to build boxes to s...

I believe the fear of damage isn't from sending less power to the subs, but rather from sending a clipped signal to them by over-driving the amp

I fixed both the separated surround (gotta love contact cement!!) and the terminal bracket this weekend. Installed both drivers in a enclosure and tried them out in my living room. They sound far better now that one cone isn't flapping around. :lol: The seller has started the claims process through ...

There isn't a vehicle I owned that my ex-wife didn't fuck up somehow... scratches, dents, knocked-off bumpers, blown tires (and the fender damage that comes from that), torn under-skirting and smashed ground effects. And she usually just found humour in the damage done and my reaction to it!! Sigh.....

I'd suggest checking out: http://www.keeprite.com/index.htm Not necessarily to say "buy their product", but their site offers some decent info and hopefully will answer some of your questions. I'm actually in Institutional/Commercial/Industrial Construction now, so I'm a bit rusty when it ...

Having spent 7 years working in Plumbing and HVAC wholesale, all I'd suggest is making sure you have it sized professionally based on your present furnace size, and a heat-loss/heat-gain calculation. Too large of a unit will "freeze up" the coil and over-tax the furnace... too small, and t...

Thanks FSD!!!

The seller responded and has requested some pics. He says UPS packaged the items, and they're insured, so they should be responsible. He wants to go through the claims process with UPS.

So a quick trip to the hardware store and a bit of fun-with-inhalants should have me up and running?

PartsExpress has a specific glue for attaching surrounds to baskets, but at $20 shipped, a locally available alternate would be much preferred!!
