Speaker Upgrade

JBL GTO628 6 5 Inch 2 Way Loudspeaker

After reading many reviews on these speakers, i decided to give them a chance. I have 4 of them mounted in the doors of a chevy blazer. They are being powered with 75 watts RMS power by a jl audio e6450 amp. I was concerned that would too much for them to handle, but they sound absolutely stellar all the way up to (and beyond) volumes that would cause hearing loss. All the while without any distortion. To the couple of people wrote reviews in which you seemed unsatisfied with the bass response---- these are 6.5 inch speakers, not subwoofers. In my opinion they sound great all the way down to frequencies that a 6.5 speaker should. If you want more bass consider adding a subwoofer.

That said, anyone buying these speakers who will be using a separate amplifier should consider using dynamat. My doors vibrate when the volume is turned up and it becomes very noticable when the speakers are playing notes with the resonate frequencies of the doors. With my windows up i can stand 100 feet from the car and clearly understand the vocals of a song.....thats how loud these are -which is why my next purchase is dynamat.

In summary, these speakers are awesome! Buy them! You will be glad you did.

Ultimate!

Simpsons World Ultimate Episode Seasons

Essential for any fan of the quasi-classic sitcom. Gives even the most ardent fan of the show a comprehensive, step by step insider's look at the show. All the bits, hidden to overt at your finger tips. Could not put it down(at least with out the aid of a hi-lo for fear of blowing out my back) due to it's massive size and weight. A gym membership would be well considered before lifting this humongous book in all it's gloriously red colored, bloated splendor. Even has beautifully crafted paper wrapped cardboard box to protect this most significant literary work. (Cheesy, Matt Groening had to have a hand in it's design) I being the most loyal Simpson maniac you'll ever find found myself laughing out loud all by my lonesome as I perused the unending pages of satirical insanity. Simply put, if you are a Simpsons fanatic like me this is an absolute must have. The only book even on plane with this as far as social importance and relevance might be The Bible...maybe!

An Amazing Capable and Reliable Phone

HTC ONE M7 Black International

Actually, it took me over a week to really feel attached to this phone! At first I didn't want this phone and wanted the s4, but the plastic on the s4 looked tacky against the gorgeous aluminum of the One. I also wasn't sold on the ultrapixel camera, but since my phone was on it's last gasping breath of air I decided to get this phone. It also helped that my sis really wants this phone so I could always give it to her.

This phone took a little getting used to..
I have an Asus tablet that's pretty close to stock android so when I saw HTC ones android I was a little confused. For example, on my tablet I can kill tasks easily, but on the one it took me a day to figure out that I have to push the home button twice to be able to kill apps lol As u can probably tell, I'm kind of technologically challenged. Also I can't find Polaris on the phone. I can use it to view docs but I can't find the actual app on the phone. These are just the inconveniences that I had.

BUT I absolutely love the front speakers. They are so loud and music sounds so good on it. It's so smart because sometimes you want to put the phone down but still listen to music and with other phones and tablets the music just gets muffled.
I also enjoy blinkfeed. It keeps me up to date with news facebook Twitter etc. Sometimes it can get really busy on there, but you can set another page as your home page so you're not constantly overwhelmed with information. There also aren't enough news websites yet, but huffington post is great. Overall though I think it was a nice addition.
I don't own a camera so my phone would be my main source of taking pictures. I wasn't sold on the ultrapixels, but honestly the camera is pretty good. The colors are true to life and not blurry. It's a huge upgrade from my 1.3 mp camera :p the features are also nice. My sis and I spent half an hour cracking up making our eyes bigger and 'contouring' our faces lol in the end we looked like crazy aliens!
This phone is also blazing fast. Ahh I love it. It is so much fast than my tablet. My tablet only has 1gb of ram and it has 1.2 ghz so it takes awhile. Anyway my uverse is only 3mbps so it's not fast but this phone still loads pages really fast.
I also love the screen. It is so sharp and the colors are nice. It's also not to wide so I'm able to text with one hand if I really have to. I definitely wouldnt mind if it was narrower because I have small hands but it's a trade off for the bigger screen.
Battery life is pretty good. I don't bring my charger around and I get around 10 ish hours of normal use. My normal is lots of reading news articles, playing games like shark evo, cross me, email, taking pictures of my dog and browsing stuff online.
There's also another feature that I really really love. It's the tv remote app lol I can never find the remote so this has made it so convenient to change the channel. I use it all the time. It also has a schedule that lists all the stuff that's on tv. Now I don't have to channel surf which is really annoying. I just open the app and see what's on.
This phone is absolutely gorgeous and I really recommend it esp since it's 150 on amazon right now!! You won't regret getting this phone! I'm really glad I chose this over the s4 and iphone 5!

Update #1 May 4th,2013
I still love this phone lol
Although, there are some issues with the home and back buttons. A lot of people have been reporting problems with theirs not working. Well mine work about 85% of the time. Sometimes the home button doesn't work and I end up hitting the camera app which is annoying but worse things can happen.
Also, previously I mentioned that the phone lasted about ten hours. This isn't ten hours of non-stop use. It's ten hours of normal use. If I sat there nonstop I think this phone lasts about 4 hours with the screen on half brightness.
This phone does take a long time to charge. I don't really mind though. I read in an article that HTC did this one purpose so that the battery will last longer. Im thankful for that since we can't take out the battery.
It's been half a month since I've had it and other than the buttons not working sometimes, I am still very happy with my purchase.

Beats the alternative!

CrazyOnDigital Range Transmitter Charger Microsoft

First let me start by saying I have tried a couple of these type of devices in the past, form big brand name manufacturers, that cost at least four to five times as much, and I was disappointed to say the least. I wound up returning them in disgust.
I own a 2007 Honda Accord EX, which otherwise I love, except for the limitations on the sound system.
Although I have the "Premium" JBL sound system, my stereo will not play MP3 CDs, nor does it have an aux port input like other cars.
So when I saw this device that would allow my to play my Zune HD in my car, and that it was highly rated for only ten dollars, I was skeptical to say the least, but I figured it was worth a shot.
First off, let me say that you will not be disappointed. When I first received this product and I saw the inexpensive packaging and "Chinglish" (Chinese-English)instructions, I did not have high expectations.
When I actually used it, I was surprised. This product WORKS!!! It allows you to tune to any frequency in the FM band, in 0.1 MHz increments. I say this, because some manufacturers have only a handful of presets that you can use (typically 3 - 5).
It even comes with a little remote control (cheesy looking, but it works) that lets you preset to a number of different frequencies.
So if you are looking for an inexpensive method to play your Zune HD in your Honda, this is it.

One last comment. The lower jaws that hold the Zune HD player are adjustable. At first I thought they sent the wrong product because my Zune HD would not fit. It was after fiddling with it that I realized that the cradle is adjustable. So please note before you make the same error.

Happy listening.

An enormous album

Scream Dream Ted Nugent

Ted was at this point still putting out solid records but this one was perhaps a little rawer in sound style.
It rocks and has some typical rockin' ted songs. Ted's music here is far less slick than on 'state of shock' too. I have to agree that this is still ted at his peak a position he has not been at for a while. Still to dismiss his later stuff would be a mistake as there are plenty of great ted songs that he put out in the 31 years! since this one. In fact he's live in denver (july 12th, 2011) and there's a chance the classic nuger 'wango tango' will be played. Who knows but this is a must have for fans of ted's style of backwoods beerdrinkin metal or hard rock as you please. His later 80's stuff is more slick by far than this one. This is primal ted and the best one of his 1980's output.

The price is right

Walkman Connecting Pack Model CPA 9C

I have used the FM modulators-not useless, but close. Continual fussing with them is a real pain and sound quality is poor to fair. Tried several cassette adaptors--If I hit a bump with one the left had side of the stereo would go out. Then I'd have to eject it and push it back in to get both channels working again. One adaptor my tape player didn't like and would try to switch from side to side-autoreversing direction because the deck thought the "tape" was over. My old Sony cassette adaptor have the manual adjust thing to eliminate cross talk which was more fussing that made it not worth it. This new cassette adaptor from Sony has worked perfect--no more cross talk, no more losing a channel when I hit a bump, no more of my deck thinking the "tape" is over. It does really seem to be self-adjusting. I wish there was a better solution for me to use my iPod in the car like the new adaptor that BMW sells. It would be great have it hard wired directly into the stereo and safely stored in my glove box able to control it from the head unit. Until that solution comes, this is a very cheap and surprisingly decent alternative.
