Two of my best friends are dating and in the verge of getting married. I hang out with the two them A LOT. They usually are the ones that invite me. My other friends give me a lot of flak and say being a third wheel is bad but I just feel like I'm with my two friends yet and not an outsider to a relationship. I was even the first person that was asked to be a groomsman for their wedding and possibly ( couldn't tell if they were serious) a godfather for their first kid. I've heard that third wheels are toxic to a couple and can break up a relationship but the bf claims they might have broken up without me ( different story all together). So is being in this situation actually bad? Is there a different term for my situation? Sometimes I feel less like the wheel and more if a third axel haha

There are several businesses like lenovo, HP, and Dell that make a lot of business oriented computers. My question is, which one of these companies seems to be the most popular? Around my area a lot of businesses and government organizations almost exclusively use Dell.

Both of these songs hit pretty hard, but which one do you guys think is better for testing subs? Or which one sounds cooler?

Bass I love you is pretty popular, but Drop Bombs (Original mix) is by Ben Samples. I know this is opinion based but i'm just wondering which one is better to you, the answerer, i think Drop bombs is superior but that's just me

When i start typing a word on my ipod and it brings up that little box with the word in it, like spellcheck or something, how can i erase those saved searches. i want to keep the normal words but some of my *cough* internet search terms really shouldn't be in those results and i don't want said words to keep popping up. how can i erase/disable them?

In my 2000 Buick Century, i had the premium Concert Sound II system or something like that. anyways, the speakers finally went kaput and i bought some 5 1/4 inch Kickers for the doors and 6x9 Alpine's in the rear. I noticed that the front doors have a special enclosure for the speakers but the rear speakers have their entire bottoms just staring into the trunk. If i taped and glued some stiff wood to the bottoms to seal it, would the bass be stronger or will it sound terrible? And if i filled the front enclosures a little Great Stuff foam on the bottom, would it do anything? 60 RMS is sent to all 4 speakers.

I found a Vibe black air that comes with an amplified enclosure, this is cheaper and probably better than using my old box, is this a good deal and will it provide decent bass?

I am looking at an Orion XTRPRO 10" sub with the dual 2ohm coils.

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_21159_Orion-XT...

Would this amp from RE Audio be able to power the sub without blowing it?

it is "rated" at 500 RMS @ 1 ohm but i'm not sure if RE makes good amps or if their severely overrated...

If it's bad then i will probably get the Orion amp: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_19934_Orion-XT...

thanks for your time and please don't hate on Sonic, i'm happy with them so far.

I am being required to read a novel that has a movie adaptation. I wanted to read "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" but was informed that is was a "long" short story. I enjoy the action sci-fi novels like Ender's game or Empire. I know those are Card novels but hopefully you understand what i am looking for. I need a choice by tomorrow so any help is greatly appreciated. Or if possible, can you suggest a good action novel that has a film? ( and not something really popular, my teacher wants something that hasn't been read by everyone)

one of my friends wants in on having a subwoofer, but he doesn't want to spend a lot. I know you get what you pay for, but i put this together and it looks like it could hit decently for his needs. BTW, he has a grand am so i don't think he really needs a lot of power. but this is like $220, and i have wires he could use.

RE SRX subwoofer (300 RMS @ 2ohms) $100

Orion Cobalt amp (250RMS @2ohms) $120

http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17257_Orion-Co...

will this be a decent bass fix for him, or will it be weaker than im expecting it to be... i have no experience with RE but i hear good things and their wiring products are high quality. That magnet looks pretty beefy too.

i was referred to them from another question, they look good but i'm just curious if anyone has heard these before.

I was browsing the sub selection at Sonic Electronix and though about buying some Sony's after hearing my friends cheap set up ( 2 used 10" for $40) that pounded pretty in his 90-something Buick Lesabre. I have a '00 Century and already dumped in some good speakers. However, for my sub i was thinking about hooking up a Massive Audio amp to an Earthquake TNT subwoofer. it's the DVC model that runs at 2 ohms and has 400 RMS. I am looking for a reliable, decent brand that is not widely known like Alpine or Pioneer to stand out from the artards from my high school.

does this new surround actually provide better lows? i am in the market for small 5 1/4" speakers that can actually stand up to some bass. i was thinking infinity should do it but this new surround on the type R's look promising. i listened to a type s subwoofer at BB and i'm convinced that it works. i also watched a youtube vid on a 10 inch sub that displayed and unreal amount of movement or excursion, whatever thats called...

Now i know cheap brands like Boss don't nearly put out rated power or don't really have the clearest sound. But i just spent A LOT on normal speakers, head, and speaker amp. While the pair of kicker components sound like crap for the 120 price, the cheap Alpines more than make up on my rear deck. But i am not satisfied with the low-end response and this is a big deal because i like electronic/Drum and Bass and Metal. ( I don't like the term dubstep anymore since that friggin' K-mart commercial with the 7 year olds dressed like hookers). Funds are now tight as i just payed for the above equipment out of my savings account. I am in a junior in high school and want something that will fill in the missing bass, but on a budget. I dont want answers saying to get JL or rockford or something, as that will come later when i get a stable job. My main question is this, If i get a "high power" sub from boss rated at 1150 RMS or 2300 max. will a boss sub rated at 2200 max compliment the Sub without blowing it? and will this sub be able to be felt in the cabin when placed in the trunk of a 2000 buick century? here are the links:

Will be getting a RE Audio wiring kit as i purchased that for my speakers and it appears very high quality and was very cheap.

OK, this is going to be a long one so bear with me. First, my car and stereo components... I have a 2000 Buick Century and have installed a new Kenwood headunit, I used a Scocshe wire adapter for the stereo and i connected everything. I connected the black ground wire to the black wire ground wire on the adapter, but i noticed that if i play with this wire with the radio on (or cd or whatever) i can hear the static change, like if i tap it with a screwdriver ( the little exposed part), i can hear the sound of it being hit through the speakers. I have Kicker components in the front doors and alpine speakers on my rear deck. I also have a Clarion amp that puts out 60w x 4 channels RMS. i drilled a hole on top of my trunk and screwed on my ground cable through the little opening on the end. My amp kit is an RE audio 4 channel amp kit. The rear speakers just come down from the deck and wire right to the amp, but the fronts run speaker cable to behind the Head unit and splice into the wiring for the adapter (instead of using the front speaker wire from the HU). The radio worked fine for a couple months but i only had 1 crossover unit on the drivers side, the other wasn't hooked up in the passenger side yet. After i installed that finally, i was putting the car back together and decided to gently pull some of the wires underneath the front seat. All of a sudden there was a very loud pop and i received instant static noise. I finished putting the dash together and once all of the plastic panels were attached, it stopped, like completely stopped. i did my gain down on the amp though to see if that would help. it did a little. Anyways, today, it just came back again and i don't know how to get rid of it. should i just attach the ground wire from the Radio the a metal part of the car or what?

i cant find any reviews, but their a decent brand and they look really nice. price isn't too bad either. I'm a big fan of two-way speakers, because i don't care much for highs anyways, as long as they are clear.

i am the user supercow

it was failing to boot so i let toshiba format and reinstall windows. right now it is going through the driver installation and it has to restart after each one is installed, is this normal, becuase i have never done this before and i'm just winging it.

I was looking on how to get more power out of my car and a lot of people are saying that the lg8 v6's are dead end's when it comes to performance. So what if I took the supercharged 3.8 from the regal and put in my car. I think it it will fit in there with minimal modification, but i will need a bigger tranny. My tranny right now needs work anyways so why not replace it? probably with a 4T65E-HD. I can get both now for a total of 1800 with engine accessories. is it worth the money? ( and work lol, but i have friends that would help me)

I am in the painful process of hooking up a Clarion XR2410 4-channel amp in my '00 Buick Century. I am almost done installing, i just need to replace the 6 year old battery in the car first. My main concern is that this amp is pretty tough, with 60 amps of fuses and a certified 60 watts x 4 channel rating, that is it might blow my speakers. I have a set of 5 1/4" Kickers in the front doors (KS5.2) that are rated at 65 RMS and i think that's in the danger zone. My rear deck has Alpine SPE- 6090 6x9's that are rated for 75 RMS.

Do you think i will be alright and that these speaker will survive?

this is for school, i don't actually have any lol. i am not sure if there is just a federal law or if wisconsin has any special laws.
