Oh, I sent it back to Carl Thompson for some more fine-tuning. I didn't like how the F# sounded.

I did this yesterday. All four of them. I'm convinced they sound *worse* than the stockers. Is that possible? They were only $25 each so I wasn't expecting much....but shit, I'd rather listen to nothing than have muddy, farty lows and completely missing mids.
btw, here they are: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/Speakers/G-Series/TS-G1643R
Not exactly the D-series speakers I had in the Ranger....which still sit unused on a table in the garage. Anyone want them? They ONLY fit Ford/Mazda

Did you end up getting this? I think I know the one youre talking about. My brother in law gave us an LG 1080p LED Tv for Jesusmass and I thought about getting an LG BD player to go along with it. Then I thought about how Greg got a PS3 as a BD player and then I just read Thanatopsis's post about his PS3 dying so fuck that.

Fuck. After a short search on the outback forums I found Metra makes a decent faceplate that allows you to install an aftermarket head unit for maybe $20. I left my Pioneer head unit in the Ranger when I sold it because I didnt think Id ever be able to use it. Argh!
your bro-in-law? ... haha, i didn't get shit from mine, ... and i didn't even have an affair.
and yeah, didn't get an player either and probably won't. i am fine with marginal quality movies.

haha yeah, it was more for his sister. At least, that's what I hope.
Talk about marginal....I watch the majority of movies through instant Netflix on this 15" laptop haha

An LED for Xm-ass? Dayum son.
LOL @ the speaker bit.
edit: why the hell did you opt for Pioneer speakers? Also, you might wanna give them a bit to break in a little bit before judging them. There's no fucking way they should sound worse than garbage OEM paper-cone megaphones.

I've always enjoyed Pioneer's stuff.
I chose these in particular because they were the only ones I could find that were rated for 30W. Everything else was rated much much higher and I just couldn't see the stock unit being able to power them. Basically, had I realized I *could* install an aftermarket receiver, I would've built a nice system from the ground up. I wouldn't have bothered with $25 speakers.

I still don't know. No electronics stores will touch it and Japanese Sony says it's American Sony's problem.
I'm guessing this problem came about because I kept my PS3 in a small place where it could get no real ventilation. When I played it, I took it out of there so it wouldn't overheat. However, one day this summer my mother-in-law was cleaning and accidentally turned the PS3 on and didn't understand how to turn it off. So it was in that small place in a Japanese house with no fucking air conditioning during the hottest summer EVER on record here.
I assume that's the day it got damaged the most. Amazingly it kept working for a few months after that until it just suddenly stopped and the YLOD flicked on. I can either buy a heat gun and try to fix it myself or wait until I visit the states again, bring it with me, and then send it to Sony to have them fix it for $150.
I'm so bored here that I've thought about getting a Japanese one.
what I really NEED is a new computer and monitor for my office.
want this monitor:

Hmm.
Microsoft won't repair mine for anything less than $99. It's 84 days out of warranty. EIGHTY FOUR DAYS and they wouldn't budge a dollar. And I took really good care of it. With my engineering background, I could tell the moment I took it out of the box in 2007 that it was crappily designed and that I would need to keep it as cool as possible. And LOL at the ventilation fans. They were louder than the games.
Fuck Microsoft. I've never had such a shitty product other than maybe my Samsung camera. OK, my 1989 Escort GT was the all-time worst machine ever produced but that's for another thread.

You had a Subaru XT?!?!?!?!?
wtf man? You never mentioned that! Those things were like tiny little spaceships. I dont think it was possible to put more buttons in them.
