I think it just weighs me down because the application of which didn't solve the problem. The rear deck lid is the culprit. It vibrates so much that the 3rd brake light hits the rear window. A plastic wedge would've done more to stop the annoying vibration than all the dynomat I put in. Now the Dynomat has decreases some trunk lid resonance but the front of the trunk has been lited up because of the sheer volume of air that is being pushed by these subs. Excursion - what a great thing. At this point I probabaly need to realign my trunk.
SteedaSVT - Yes I do like Monster Cable.... The amount of engineering that goes into their products is just overkill... and just the way I like it. When you start investing serious money into your system, audiophile grade equipment, you really start to appreciate music. I now listen to more Vocal and Jazz instead of rap because you can hear the fingers move across the fretts of a guitar. All my old cd's are like new cd's because of all the detail you can hear now. Can you hear Dido roll her tongue around when she's next to the mic? Tell me, when you close your eyes and listen to music in you car(in your garage) can you hear Celine Dion move from the right side of the stage to the left and then back towards the band??... because I can. Pictures are up in the registry but they are not up-to-date... At that time I had a JLe4300 working the Boston SL80's. Nice stuff... just limited in capabilities. Now I don't mean to insult you equipment, or your expertise in this area of car audio... But at this time, according to your posts, I've spent more on Dynomat and Monster Cable than you have on your entire system.

You are obviously a newbie to this forum.
a few things Monster Cable isn't any better than say Streetwires ZN5.0's or the Stinger Dream series. Good RCA is a GOOD RCA nothing more. As far as power wire  thats about all i can say. Now your little ignorant comment about your dynomat and wires costing more than my system try again. And ya i could hear all the little details when i had my system in my SHO. Eclipse 5442, Eclipse 2101 EQ, Soundstream SVX4, Soundstream Picasso Class A 4 channel, Soundstream reference 500, Soundstream Exact 6.3 Comp's in front and exact 6x8's in the rear then 2 Soundstream Exact 12's(blue basket) with streetwires througout. Im pretty sure that your wires and dyno didn't cost more than system. Ive had subs that cost almost as much as your system.
Before you start saying your stuff amazing with your 12 post's and what not, i suggest that you do a little searching even in the same thread as this one as it states what most of the CEGr's have.

Monster = Streetwires = KnuKonceptz = Coat hanger with RCA terminals.
The coat hangar won't have the noise rejection capabilities of the others and doesn't look quite as good. That is why I would recommend getting Knukonceptz. Good quality, looks great, sounds as good as any other copper and best of all, it's uber affordable for the quality of materials.
If you want to spend a lot of money on speaker wire and patch cables, do so for material quality and showiness. If you are doing it for sound quality, your priorities are in the wrong place. Oh, I suppose if you think it sounds better, appeasing your mind is a good reason, as well. Just don't tell me your wiring makes your system sounds better.
Always remember this, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, and this is something you won't be able to find. (there are exceptions like MIT patch cables that intentionally alter the signal but I can't fathom how a person could logically argue that the response is more accurate by intentionally changing it.
The bottom line is that if your system makes you happy, more power to you and you should highly recommend the equipment you own from personal experience. Don't start making claims of sonic superiority that isn't there, and if you do, make sure you back it up with a little more than "Monster Cable spends a lot of money on marketing...err....research!"

does the monster cable make it all sound better?
*casts bait and waits*
BTW, I would be willing to bet I could equal that SQ for 50% of the cost, maybe even exceed the performance. Do you mind saying how much you spent since prices can vary so substantially online and locally?

allow me to condense and simplify this for you.
there's nothing wrong with monster cables. but if you think they make your system sound better (i.e. hearing dildo roll her tongue around) then there is something wrong with you.

I need wired that will compensate for my 7998's messed up CD drive. Maybe $700 RCAs will fix it!

Children... let's have a little chat,
SteedaSVT -
+If Streetwires and Monster are no diferent in quality than why do you diss them on your post on page 5?
+You said your system cost $10 less than AquaFBody's on page 3
+I never said that Monster made my system all that great. You, MXRacerCam and dnewma04 eluded to that. What I did say was that I really liked monster cable.... period. The amount of "engineering"(look close guys) not marketing or research is what I appreciate.
So far all I've seen from you, the obvious "Hard-Core CEG'r"
is a lot of angry replies to poeple's posts. If this makes you a "true member" or something of this community then you can have it all to yourself... it can be your little secret. My 12 posts have nothing to do with what I know about car audio and you trying to guage my experience in this field by the number of my post just confirms your ignorance. Steeda, I'm sure you know a lot about car audio but I'm not about to get into a pissing match over this. Grow up, read what I wrote and respond to them in kind if you do have a response to them.
MXRacerCam -
I never said that Monster Cable let me hear things in music like Dido rolling her tongue around. I said that audiophile grade equipment let's me hear that. Wheter it's Monster cable, streetwires whatever.... my wires are not a weak link in my system.
Like I said before - Please feel free to drive up to Auburn Maine and listen for yourself and prove me wrong if you can because all this "bench racing" with your audio equipment isn't proving anything other than the idea that you can influence people by the number of posts you have made.
Get some rest guys... you'll need it for class.
Jack
