The audio shop did not finish the work on my car today so I won't be able to pick it up until tomorrow afternoon, so there will be no pictures to post or comments to offer until tomorrow night at the earliest.

As if waiting for the car to arrive in the US wasn't enough...

 

Damb you! Ahhh your friggen torturing me! I wanna see this car of yours! And your beautiful radio of yours.

 

Rick, I hope the guys at the audio shop aren't doing a Ferris Bueller on your stook.

 

I agree with that one.

So, Rick, what are you having done?

Hey Rick, I was driving on the beltway on my way to see my Mom in Towson when this silver/red stook came blasting by me doing at least 100+. Had T-tags and the guys in it were laughing their a++es off. Isn't the audio shop doing your work in Towson? [QUOTE]Originally posted by Rick Hesel:

Sounds nice, Rick. I like everything but the MB Quart speakers, I've never liked them much. I'm guessing you listened and liked, though, so that's cool.

-S2-

 

I listened (the first movement of Beethoven's concerto for piano, cello and violin, which is a great test of the fidelity and quality of a sound system for classical music lovers like me) to the system yesterday and it sounded spectacular. I was worried about the harshness of the highs (a criticism often leveled at the MB Quart tweeters) but it was beautiful and full, much better, I think than the stock Bose system in my Mazda Millenia. I couldn't believe the fullness of the sound with only two speakers.

 

What's a smart tire monitor?

 

Pueo,

It's an aftemarket tire pressure monitoring system that constantly reads and reports tire pressures and temperatures against what you want them to be. So, for example, if you set the cold pressure standard to 32 psi, you can set the system to warn you when the pressure falls a certain amount below that or falls to a specified minimum low pressure. It gives both visual and sound warnings.

Sensors/transmitters are mounted in each of the wheels.

Cost is about $300, and since I'm now running without a spare tire, monitoring tire pressures is especially important.
