I think that Contour SE Driver is actually anothre user name for dnewma04. There is no way anybody could really be that retarded. Seriously, if you are real, shut up and liste to what Dave tells you, he knows more about this crap than you will ever hope to. He doesn't have your obvious litterature knowledge either, he is a DIY audio guru and can think up absolutely perfect system combinations in his sleep. In fact many people here owe him a huge debt of gratitude as he found some of the best equipment any of us have ever seen over the years. No suggestion he has given to date has hed poor results either. He actually knows how to read the specifications of a speaker and in his head determine what other equipment would best match up to it.
As for the statement "car audio sucks nutz"
Obviously a car is not the greatest place to have a stereo system compared to a house. Here's a question for you though, can you take your home system with you on a 4 hour trip? Would cruising be as fun with an 8track instead of a really good sound system? Sounds to me like you sit at home all day listening to Celine Dion with youtr little 8" while everyone else is out with thier friends driving around in thier cars with stereos that "suck nuts" Meeting new people and making new friends. Try it, you may realise it's actually not that bad
