Lots of bickering at CarAudioForum and a few other sites. You tell some people you have 6x9s or a certain brand like Pioneer and you get a bunch of people who call you an "idiot" and "retarded". That's real constructive. They think they know the definitive brands and become narrow-minded. Or you pose a physics question and you get people who say they don't care or you get smartass answers. Oh, well.
Well, it kind of worked out. I came in as a regular unix admin when I was 19. I must be doing something right since I keep moving up :)

I'm really liking what I see on this forum in terms of maturity... kudos to a great group of people!

Nice to see you here. I don't know squat about CAF but I like it here so I don't fool with them :P

I got the whole box for free from a friend. I could never figure out why it seemed to sound somewhat decent in the off-the-self box it came in. After opening the thing up and realizing it was a freeair sub, it all made sense. It probably isn't nearly as sensitive to the enclosure as a regular sub would be.

Good guy to talk to for a box :)

I have Ubuntu currently dual-booting on my machine. Don't do much with it though. I used to do a lot of C coding for MUDs and things of that nature, but it's been quite awhile. I miss it, just not enough time to dedicate to it. :-(

The OS' that I teach are RedHat, SuSe, Mandrake, SCO, AIX, Whitebox, Yellowdog, Solaris along with a few systems that feature UNIX. Good to hear that Linux is alive and well in LAX area.
As for Zapco...awesome...as for CDT, I saw one take a huge amount of voltage and besides the smell of rotten electronics, still played beautifully. I have a new found respect for CDT.
If you have a budget of $500 for components, look at the K2P set from Focal, Look at Zapco's components, Look at Morel's Elate series, and check out the JL Z series. All excellent, all in about that range. I also believe the Soundline series from Rainbow are in there as well.
Good luck and welcome to the board!

Linux is certainly huge in the LAX area. The only problem is that there aren't enough talented linux admins to go around. I'm trying to find someone to fill my position where I currently work (i'm moving to another company), and i'm finding far less than ideal candidates. Most of my experience is with redhat, but i've been doing lots of work with gentoo lately. In fact, the new place i'm going to actually uses gentoo in production.

Do you know if Zapco has the same warranty issues with their components? It'd be nice to run a full Zapco setup (minus sub).
