no it's not. there's no proof. it's a bunch of crap. if your system is setup properly in the first place, theres no need for any special cabling. and since yours is obviously so superior, you don't need it as well.
++Are you telling me that unshielded Lightning Audio cable is as good as Streetwires ZN5.0's??? I don't think so. Part of properly setting up a system, and I think everyone will agree is having the proper wire for your requirements. Whether it's the kid who just wants some bass or someone like me who wants it all and doesn't really care if it costs twice as much.

-I rest my case on this one. Both yourself and Steeda responding about the Monster Cable is beyond me... If it is an inside joke, go ahead, laugh it up. But from my perspective it was a childish response to a statement that was never made.
it wasn't that you made the statement, you clearly inferred it, however. and most ceg audio forum members have little tolerance for perpetuating audio myths. if you take offense to that, i'm sorry.
++Dude, was it "clear" or "inferred" make up your mind as they are opposite in meaning in this context. Kinda like "Oxy-moron". I can certainly agree that the audio forum members have little tollerance for perpetuating myth... So, what myth is it that I am prepetuating...???

but we're expected to do it for you? you truly are the king of double standards.
++I never asked anyone to do anything. Please... "You are truly the king of double standards" Get over yourself MX. Unless you have something specific to say reguarding the post at hand - just be quiet and observe.

instead of running your mouth about daves "bashing" the forum, maybe you should THINK about his statement. the contour has not been in production since 2000. thus, this site is dedicated to a deceased platform. hence the irrlevance.
++OMG you're right!!! The contour has been dead since 2000. But we're talking about car audio, and since we're still talking about it I doubt that it is dead. Hell, I know that you have a good grasp of car audio so... hardly dead or irrelevant.

how about this, since you're so intent on everyone listening to your system. you tally up how much you've spent on your system. dave and i will design and build one for appx. half the price, and we will enter both cars in a sanctioned sq event. i'd say a $3,000.00 bet to who scores higher in the sq points would make it interesting. what do you say?
++I don't care if you listen to it or not. And who cares about the money? This money issue has been harped on enough already. Did I ever say that money was an issue? Did I ever say that you couldn't build a good system for less money? About the only person who seems to be caring about the money is MX and dnewma04. Do you guys need some money or something?? Are you broke? I'd be glad to help out a fellow CEG'r if they could prove to me that they could pay it back. ++I've spent around $4,500 retail including tax and labor. I'd say that the money would definitley make it interesting but unneccessary. I don't need to take your money(by the sounds of it.. you need it more than I do). How about just bragging rights... would that work for you? I guess all there would be is a couple stipulations. You build your system but you can't use any of the equipment that I use. So, No Boston Acoustics, JLAudio, Eclipse, Dynomat and let's not forget MONSTER CABLE. Don't forget... you're gonna build it for half the cost of mine. Don't forget to pay yourselves(master installers) for your time as well. Let's see 10 hours at $50 and hour - a modest fee for the obvious audio gueniuses that you two are. And tax on the equipment(retail cost here guys) none of this deep employee discount stuff. So I figure you have about $2,000 to spend.
denewma04 "Jack, let me make it clear that I am not bashing your system but I can understand your defensiveness. Adding a "In my experience" or "In my opinion" would help the presentation of information. The 8443 is a fine HU and if you "
++Thank you for not bashing my system. If you look on the top of page 5 in my original post you will see that I did use In My Opinion(IMO).
That's it for tonight guys... Though the "fencing" is stimulating I need to get some sleep. So farewell untill tomorrow for Round 3!
