I had gone to Best Buy one day to pick up the box set and found the DVD on sale for less $$ so I bought it instead. The music is simply awesome on this disc. The only thing I didn't care for is that the home video segments are in between the songs so you can't simply play all the videos back to...

I'd go to Home Depot or Graybar and buy a fish tape. It's a roll of metal wire that comes in lengths of 100' to 500' or so and looks like a big measuring tape. You only need a short one so buy the smallest they have. Now a couple of questions: Are you mounting the speakers above the windows...

I'd suggest Linkin Park if you don't already have it. They pull off the rap/metal sound better than just about anyone out there. There's also not a bad song on the whole album. You definitely get your money's worth. Another one I always suggest is a compilation called Loud Rocks. It's a...

First, I agree with Jeff in that it states, "I could care less but why bother?". Also, "I could care a lot less about this. Keep running your mouth and see exactly how much less I can care". When in doubt, use the declarative "I don't care". :) Second, I always want two cakes, one to have and...

Terminator 2- although to really appreciate it I need to see the chrome skull emerging from the flames... very powerful. ~Crowe~

Either should work fine for low voltage applications. Are you running the cables through a conduit or just through the open wall? ~Crowe~

I have an older Panasonic player that has a 'Repeat Mode' button on it. That's what I use. It lets me select between single track and entire disk. Next time you're at the store pop in a CD and try out the repeat button and see if it does what you want it to. ~Crowe~

I really like Rammstein a lot. They're probably the only non-english band I listen to. I speak no German but I do have fun spitting all over everything trying to sing along- fortunately they have translations on their website. If you're looking for rock music you might want to check them out...

I started watching it with my daughter after school during the androids/cell series. I like it as much as she does now. Since there aren't any new episodes for a while I'm getting to catch up on the Dragonball episodes too. ~Crowe~

Does anyone in the Phoenix area have a logo I could audition? I'm still a bit wary about ordering things from the internet. How's the return policy? ~Crowe~

Not enough can be said about the sound of Saving Private Ryan. This is still one of my all time favorite disks to really show off my system. If you like to hear 100 things whizzing by your head in glorious digital sound then definitely pick this one up. It's all I can do sometimes to not duck...

I also own a set of CV's and they will indeed accept the spaced bannana plugs. I picked up a set of Fosgates at Best buy but I'm sure the AR's would be cheaper. ~Crowe~

It's a good idea to read up on things before you get started for sure. I subscribed to Popular hot rodding for several years in high school and learned a lot about different projects, costs involved, things to look out for, etc. It's really nice because you can 'watch' someone else do it first...

It's kinda like having a 200wpc Amp that you can't listen to wide open without hearing loss... Sure sounds good down low, though :) ~Crowe~

To be honest, I don't own disks from any of the artists I mentioned. The only reason I lumped them all together is that their 'ok' songs get near incessant airplay here. I'm sure rock stations are the same everywhere, though. I actually like the new Creed song 'Bullet' but I may retract that in...
