Ah yes...the "call them children" tactic, nice touch. The creativity displayed in your subtle insult is truly tragic. Now, to get back to the point of the post, my response was not meant to in anyway flame you, please re-read it.

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



Don't let Steeda get to you. He has owned a lot of equipment including some CV Strokers (which IMO, were outrageously overpriced) but still cost above 1000.00 each early on in their entry into the car audio scene. It wasn't more than a few years ago that Streetwires owned the competition audio scene. Monster cable was a distinct minority but there are quite a few factors in that not the least of which is reputation. Remember when a winning car was virtually guarenteed with the following combo: Alpine source, PPI amps, MB Q components, JL Audio subs, audiocontrol processors? That was the same era that streetwires dominated. Anyway, moving on.

+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.



Another subtle jab. You may not have said directly that Monster Cable made you system great, but you did insinuate on a couple of occasions that lesser brand wire could compromise the system. The engineering behind Monster's wires is sound. The claims of sonic superiority (especially in speaker wire) is ridiculous...wait, that is not a strong enough word but it's late and I don't feel like getting the Roget's out.

So far all I've seen from you, the obvious "Hard-Core CEG'r"
is a lot of angry replies to poeple's posts.



You seem to be fitting right in with this particular post. Your condescending tone is actually kind of cute. Oh wait...i think i just played your own game....;)

you a "true member" or something of this community then you can have it all to yourself... it can be your little secret.



This entire site has been irrelevant for years, so yours or anyone elses presence here couldn't possibly matter any less.

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.



I 100% agree. Post counts mean nothing. But, then again, by referring to us as "children" you are doing the same thing. Making a judgement on a group of people without knowing anything about them. Double standard?

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.



I don't think anyone wants to run this thread downhill anymore than it has already.

my wires are not a weak link in my system.



I agree, but if you used 16 guage zip cord for speaker wire, your system wouldnt' sound any different than it does now. So, even in that case the wires wouldn't be the weak point in your system.

Quote:


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.



And what point would listening to your system possibly have? I don't think anyone disagrees your system sounds quite good. I believe that some people may have been a bit annoyed by the "Eclipse 8443 greatest sound HU of all time" type of reviews of your own equipment. It came across as fairly arrogant whether it was intended or not. (I don't need to re-read your post, i know I didn't quote you word for word). When you were questioned about your choices, your response that essentially said that you had the best system that money could buy for each of your components, you didn't do anything to quell the elitism you hinted at earlier.

Again, the number of posts couldn't possibly mean anything less. This forum has been decidedly anti-voodoo when it comes to audio equipment. I have done my best to dispell as many audio myths as I can over the years and this forum is no different than others I have participated on. Things like
"my wires sound better than your wires"
"underpowering kills speakers"
"you need a capacitor!"
"my amp has great imaging and presence"
"bose makes the best speakers"

and other such nonsense will be met semi-harshly, because most of the people on this forum no better than to believe it and will try to crush it before some poor nube starts to believe it.

I will get some rest. Everyday is class for me, I guess I'm not old enough to know it all yet.


Good night.
