This entire thread's complete lack of ANY kind of grammar or punctuation makes me now realize one of the possible reasons why our beloved 12volt hasn't had so much activity lately.

memfus_boi and ccityroadshop, this is an adult forum. We like to read actual sentences. Sentences include whole words, with punctuation and everything. What a concept, huh? You are not texting each other on your cell phones, where you have a limit of 160 characters. You can actually spend some time and type out entire thoughts. Please, if you want to SMS each other to death over where you work, and what kind of discount you can or cannot get, and who you know or not, exchange each other's phone numbers in a PM, and leave us out of it.

Barring that, take this childish (Yes. I said it.) presentation of your complete lack of regard for the English language, and total proof that you paid ZERO attention in school (and most especially and apparently, English class) over to caraudiodomain.com. We can (and yes, we WILL) help you far better than most of those yahoos could even begin to THINK about, but we also don't want to read internet slang. If you install as well as you convey thoughts in type, I'm not surprised they won't let you install full-time. Complete lack of attention to detail, and shortcuts. Huh... I wonder...?

Now, if you want to "let me have it", for smacking you down publicly, bring it on. From your posts, it's fairly obvious that mentally I could crush you, and not even get anything on me.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

i second the motion for Autotek. and yes Autotek and Hifonics are both owned by Maxsonics who also owns crunch and maybe 1 or 2 more brands that i cant think of. nevertheless Autotek is awesome

check this out:

the Mean Machine series looks and performs better (IMO) but you said you want to stay around $200

Sounds to me like I hit a nerve. One, I am not your "buddy". Two, a loser I am not, I assure you of this. Have you bothered to realize that I am NOT the most prolific poster here? You are calling both of the board's moderators losers as well, (not to mention the board's administrator) by throwing that epithet toward me. By the way, the mods feel EXACTLY the same way regarding proper posts as I do... I just happen to be the one that mentions it... I don't CARE about hurting your feelings where they might. Additionally, even after being asked in a reasonable tone to please present yourself with some decorum, you still come back with your cell-phone typing methods.

Speaking of (effectively) being too busy to type in full, complete sentences (because that takes SOOO much time)... I work well over 70 hours a week, EVERY week, (I am at work right now, even... 5:30pm, Sunday night, California time) and yet, *I* still find time to remember proper grammar, and I even manage to fit a few punctuation marks in place where they belong. Amazing, isn't it?

Internet forum or not, we try to remain adult around here, and part of that includes taking responsibility for our posts. Part of *that*, includes presenting ourselves as educated, and willing to be accepted as an adult, which your l33t-ing DOES not allow most of the senior members of this board to do. (Those members you need to appeal to, in order to receive the best help you can get...) Nor does it instill any DESIRE to help you. You'll notice that not one senior has even piped up. Rob suggested you "do it quick", before you are out of a job (Circuit City being the burgeon of financial stability that it is, currently), but that didn't *help* you at all, now did it? I think it was really more of a jab... You will also notice that VERY few threads consist completely of the (I guess) "language" of which this one is almost completely composed. We do not "type short and slang" here.

U of M, huh? In what are you "mastering"? Cell-phone QWERTY? Predictive typing? I bet you're an "A" student... (More sarcasm, in case you missed it.)

I do speak, type, and act like an adult. I don't appreciate you trying to talk down to me like that. I'm not some punk kid putting a buttload of speakers into the family minivan that my parents gave me when I turned 16, and they purchased a new family vehicle. I'm 31 years old, been installing for over 18 years, and I've been a member of this board for over six years now. Wow! Thats even longer than you, haemphyst. I come to this board for help when I have questions, and I also help others with questions they may have. Thats why I was in this thread to begin with, I was simply recommending an amplifier brand. I was simply staing that I've had very good experiences with Autotek amps. Thanks for being so mature about this topic.

Well, like they say, it IS a free country. Having said that, these young YAHOOs CCroadkill and MEMphus_butt are a real pain. I'm just glad I don't have to look at them also. They probably look like they fell head-first into a tackle box. I also prefer decent grammar and full sentences.

in order to end this lame feud i will just say that you are both wrong in this situation. ccity, you need to understand than using abbreviated text confuses people sometimes especially if you are not used to reading it and when you are trying to ask somebody a question its probably a good idea to be a clear as you can be if you want to get good answers. it's just really aggravating when you need a decoder ring just to be able to read the question so you can help someone

on the other hand, haemphyst, what you wrote was pretty coldblooded considering the offense and if i was someone just browsing on this forum and found that post what would i think? i wouldn't even try to ask a question because someone on the forum might s--t on me for not getting a A+ in English class.

look at your signature at the bottom of your posts. "Y'ALL" isn't exactly great grammar either.
