Talking about rain, yesterday on the local news they reported about the insane amount of rain it fell yesterday. On a neighborhood close where I was, the rain measured 5 feet 
The camera shots of the place showed only the tops of cars and even SUVs. People were looking for refuge on two story houses waiting to be rescued and others where swimming away after the rain stopped. On another highway not too far away where my pony choked, there were tons of cars stranded in the middle of this huge flooded area. As the saying goes, it could've been worse. I was pretty lucky in comparison with those people. The mall where my fiance works has it's main access road closed due to major flooding and the mall itself has some water inside as well.
This is really bad. I haven't seen so much rain for some years now. I hope this doesn't keep up

hah, he was on varsity when I was on JV. our JV team was "accaptable" we werew 7-3 i think. Varsity however was completely undefeated, went through the playoffs and won the division championship AND got moved up to a tougher division. this all after a year of being 2-7. he and tyreese jacks were the star players. he went to community college first, then kent state(there might have been something else before kent..) and now hes pro with the patriots.
or depending on how it affects you...

I will buy Jack Stands!!!
Behold my $8 dollar garage sale find 
Front speaker:
Rear speakers:
They're from a surround sound system, sound pretty good too. All I gotta do now is get a little more speaker wire so I can run some from the driver side rear speaker. It's only hooked into the signal from the passenger side right now.

Sweet!
I used to have those exact speakers back in 1997. I got them at Best Buy for like $99. I add the center and two bookshelf surrounds to add to my Yamaha floor speakers for my first 5.1 surround setup. That was Dolby Surround (analog). Dolby Digital didn't even exist yet.

Haha, sweet Sean!
Gary, just out of curiosity, how did the old 5.1 systems work? Did what you'd now hear out of the center channel come out of all the channels?

The sound out of the rears was very diffused. Not clear at all. The front left and right speaker still had a lot of voices in them, because typical center channels were very small and couldn't handle the full load. In essence for me the old analog 5 channel was much more distorted and couldn't be listened to nearly as loudly as the current digital setup. Now I can crank it louder and everything is far clearer.
Plus there's dozens of sound fields and decoders. DTS, THX, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, DTS-ES, and many, many more depending on the receiver and the format.

Ok, thanks. I've been wondering lately how it used to work. Makes a lot more sense now.

Just wanted to say hello! I have not been able to be on TMS for a while due to my job that has erratic, long hours!
I am trying to make time to come on here on a daily basis once again!

So, after maybe 12 years of depreciation, and a garage clearance sale, those are now worth $92 less to me
Maybe I'll try and make my front channel hook into the big speaker, and rears to the rear... Hmm sounds like a wednesday thing to tackle
Welcome back buddy!

hey guys, same here!
The GT is doing very well...actually just had some interior work done, including the carpet and headliner (which had the running pony embroidered in it)....it looks much better in person!
I am officially done with my interior now sine I had the new re-done in the summer, along with replacing alot of dash parts, door panels, etc.

That's the second set I bought saturday. The first set was too big so it went back. There were full size pioneer stereo speakers. They were too thick for behind the seat lol.

That was the cheapest 3 channel surround kit you could buy at the time. Best Buy Christmas door buster special too I think.
