    Sirius install a rip off?

    XM has a ton of analog ground repeaters in the more populated areas to deal with drop-out problems and tall buildings. Seeing as you are in New York I'll bet that you are mostly running on the repeaters. Sirius is mostly line-of-site so it has more of a problem with being mounted inside. I've...

    Sirius install a rip off?

    Magnum is right on the install price for Circuit, though I believe it is $60 outside the Florida market, pricing does vary for reagion to region. However DO NOT let anyone every put the antenna on you dashboard. These unit work from line of sight to the satellite and having the roof blocking...

    Do you trust car audio/alarms shops to do your installations?

    Most shops are trustworthy when it comes to not sending out someone to get your stuff later. I've only run in to that once in the 15 years I did installations and it was found out pretty quick and the installer was fired and thrown in jail. What you worry more about is the actual quality of the...

    Real Estate Law?

    OK, I understand the question better. I'd say that yes Ann can back out of the deal due to the fact that the loan, escrow and real estate contract documents will all say Bob and Ann as Husband and Wife. I would suspect that the contract would have a back out clause that states they will buy...

    Real Estate Law?

    DISCLAIMER**** I AM NOT A LAWYER! There now that that is said. If the husband dies then the wife is the beneficary, CA is a community property state. If the 1031 exchange is being done from existing property to a new one and he dies part way through she is the beneficary and can complete...

    Anybody trade the stock market?

    Standard rule, only invents in stuff that you know something about or are willing to spend some time learning about. I made a nice 20% profit on HDTV and BRLC in the last two weeks and 40% off SIRI in a week when they announced that Stern's old boss from Viacom was going to be the new CEO...

    Project QUIET

    Just remember that as you add more padding the car will get quiter but you'll start to add alot of weight. I've done this to my two previous cars, 2-3 layers over every surface from floor to roof, and it really made the cars quite and improved the SPL and SQ in the car but it ended up added...

    Home Theater Receivers...what to buy?

    Under $200 is going to be almost impossible for something decent. Personally I would stay far away from Sony, I 've had bad personal experence with them and bad experience with selling the ES line this year. The 2000 and up with the digital amps have a way to high failure rate. If all they...

    Unlocking and Locking Success

    OK, from looking at the diagram you should be able to remove the relay from your current circuit, it's just acting as an amperage amplifier adn I don't think you need that for the timer relay. Unfortunaately it's been about 2-3 years since I've used a pulse timer and I don't completely remember...

    2yr old toddler killed by parent in SUV

    All this statement shows is that you are possible young and definitely ignorant. I've driven small sporty cars all my life but I have an SUV as well for the basic reason that it was the right size to fit me, my wife and my two kids and their car seats and still let me load up the back with...

    USAA.com but you are only eligible if you, your spose or family member is/was in the military. I am eligible due to the fact that my father was in the Navy a few decades ago.

    Home Audio receivers

    Witht he pieces that you have I would stay away from both the Denon and Yamaha pieces especially if you are trying to use their internal amps. Great units but no where near what you are working with and used to, I sell Yamaha and like it for strong basic set-ups but for what you have it doesn't...

    Find out where you stand politically

    Absolutely dead center. I came out a centrist. Big surprise, extremes don't really work in the real world.

    Traffic accident compensation question.

    Just a matter of perspective, for me the $10,000 wasn't worht the time and hassle it would envolve, and that estimate was if the lawyer would have been able to get me double what they were already offering me, if he only got me 50% more then I would have actually received $75,000, $25,000 less...

    Service Pack 2 - Is it bad?

    Installed it at home, standard configuration no problems at all completely finished in about 25 mminutes. We tried to do it at work on the main computer for our puny wittle windows network and we lost all conectivity to the network printers. Needless to say we removed it and everthing worked...

    Traffic accident compensation question.

    What ever you do don't setle for whatever they first offer you, even if it sounds great. Take the offer home and look it over to see if it really is fair. You can consult a lawyer if you want or not. Make sure you add up everything that you had planned to do for the weekend, the repairs to the...
