I want in Ian, I need an amp apparently!
EDIT: I believe this is it ... http://www.crutchfield.com/S-bL337on...l#overview-tab
If I'm reading right that would give you 60x2 and 180x1 (rms ratings), assuming you are trying to do 2 speakers and sub.
2 speakers and sub are correct. nothing fancy as it's just a winter commuter and only has cassette so looking to add a system for under $450. ian shot me a price and just checking dimensions to see if it will fit.
thanks for the offer tho...
had 2 of those in my boat initially. both are now pulling duty in my sisters tooner and are working great.. good for a small-mid sized system..
2 Kicker L7 10's with a Kicker ZX1000.1
Unless Brian comes up with a deal of the century on a replacement amp/sub combo, the sub setup will remain the same for a while. I think moving both under the drivers dash will get it quite a bit louder than it is currently, and look pretty sweet too. That 1000.1 not matching is the only thing thats going to drive me nuts.
You need to pick you up one of these bad boys ... http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?s...lerid=15743316 ... sadly my wife uses that in her car, 2006 avalon, WTH right?
that's all I'll say about that...
I'm rolling over here guys, KG that is terrible man.
I really want to see the finished speakers mounted and blasting. Then it'll be water time :)
You and me both! Should be done Monday, then the wait for spring begins...

Ian do you have any pictures of the subs under your dash??

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/12/2012 (1721 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg winters can chill even the heartiest of souls. Being homeless and forced to sleep on the streets or go without the clothing necessary to protect oneself from the bitter winds makes for a struggle to survive no one should have to endure.
Crescentwood resident Tim Burt has decided to make an impact — literally from the ground up. The Knock Your Sock Off annual sock drive in support of the Siloam Mission is a community initiative to collect new and lightly used men's winter socks to help keep the community warm this winter.
Burt, president, CEO and CIO of Cardinal Capital Management, Inc., realizing the power of giving back to the community and in 2009, established the Cardinal Foundation to provide focus for the firm's charitable activities. With the assistance of a tremendous staff, the Cardinal Foundation supports charities that directly make a positive impact on our communities — small organizations that don't often get high-profile exposure and dollars.
Emily Burt, president of the Cardinal Foundation said "We were continuously getting requests for donations from a wide variety of charities and worthwhile causes. We realized that we had the opportunity to be more proactive in our approach to supporting the community we do business in."
The Cardinal Foundation has been supporting Siloam Mission for a number years with both volunteer hours and monetary donations but wanted to do something special.
"We realized that something as simple as getting socks for those that use the services of Siloam Mission can be a huge challenge. From this need and our desire to help in small but impactful ways, the Sock Drive was started," Emily Burt said.
Now in its fourth year, the Knock Your Socks Off campaign goal was set at 6,000 pairs, which was easily met, thanks in part to corporate sponsors.
"McGregor Socks donated more than 2,500 pairs and Mark's Work Warehouse came on board this year with all their six Winnipeg locations serving as drop-offs." Burt said.
"This type of corporate support is more than we could have hoped for four years ago when we initially conceived of holding a drive to help Siloam meet their needs."
Judy Richichi, director of finance and development with Siloam Mission, said the program satisfies a very basic need.
"During the cold months people go from hot to cold temperatures throughout the day. Our body naturally heats up and our feet sweat when we finally make our ways indoors. As we return outside, if wearing wet socks, our feet become susceptible to freezing and frostbite. Being homeless, our clients need to change their socks more often to prevent long term issues with their feet." Richichi said.
The socks are made available through Siloam's clothing program, at which clients get to pick up to five items each day.
"We can be giving away upwards of 500 pairs a week," Richichi said.
"We are only serving a small portion of the community that requires proper clothing regardless of the time of year. We are so grateful for the Cardinal Foundation and the Knock Your Socks Off program as it makes a difference to the lives of our clients in a very positive way."
The drive is complete for this year but donations of socks, boots and long johns are still being accepted at Siloam Mission, at 300 Princess St.

Nokia N900 ReviewNokia N900
Before we get into details about the interface of Maemo 5, we´ll first tell you more about the OS. This is the Linux-based operating system that powers all Nokia tablets. The N900 runs the latest, 5th edition that brings forth many improvements over the previous editions. Despite the presence of a built-in accelerometer, the interface switches its orientation to portrait only when you use the telephone functions and remains in landscape mode in all other cases, one of the things that reveal the N900 is not a cell phone, but an internet tablet with richer functionality.
Compared to previous Maemo versions, the home screen comes with single orientation mode, but now consists of 4 separate pages, much like Android-powered devices. They all feature their own wallpapers, although you can turn off three of them if you don't like the idea. They all can host widgets and shortcuts to phone contacts, applications or web pages and you can arrange them to your liking. This actually means you´ve got quick access to all major functions of the device and might never need to open the main menu. The options relating to all applications and submenus are called up on screen by pressing the upper middle part of the screen.
As a whole, we are satisfied with the novelty features of Maemo 5 and we would like to congratulate Nokia on the good work. The interface is simplified, appealing, user-friendly and easy to operate.
One of the functions of the N900 that Nokia keeps talking big about is the multitasking function. And we have to say it´s not just empty words. A single press of the button in the upper left corner reveals all applications running in the background (and if none is active, the main menu shows up instead). They get visualized as a grid of images and can be stopped without the necessity of opening the running app itself. The N900 remains snappy, handles even as many as 15 programs running in the background and it starts lagging when the number of active applications has reached 17-18, although we didn't have any problems using the tablet with even 20 simultaneously running programs. Most impressive indeed. We just have to emphasize once again that we are extremely pleased at the multitasking function of the Nokia N900. It´s incredibly easy and handy to use, which saves time, not to mention the app itself looks awesome.
Maemo 5 brings along significant improvements in the phone contacts as compared to previous OS editions and they are welcome. The most interesting and useful novelty is the built-in support for Skype, Google Talk, Ovi, Jabber and SIP. You just need to enter your username and password for the corresponding service and the N900 will connect automatically, adding your online buddies to your phone contacts. Once you´re done this, you will be able to see their current status while browsing the contact entries. Moreover, the interface is much easier to use and better optimized for bare fingers and you will rarely need the stylus. There is a tab to filter entries by the first letter of the names, located on your right hand side of the screen and finally, your phonebook can be synchronized over the Internet, with a contact file or to the SIM card.
Initially, only five info boxes appear on screen when you get down to adding a new contact entry and you are supposed to enter the person´s first and second name, phone number, email and picture there. Of course, you can add various other details later, be it more phone numbers, email accounts, date of birth, addresses etc.
The dialling screen is opened via the dedicated icon or by turning the phone sideways to portrait mode. If you decide to give someone a ring and once the virtual keyboard has popped up on screen, you will be able to choose whether to use VoIP service or make the call over the cellular network. You can answer or reject incoming calls with the two screen sliders, similarly to the Nokia N97.
The Nokia N900 is not all about the Internet. The tablet comes with organizer functions like calendar that allows for various events, tasks and schedules, world clock, alarms and calculator.
The calendar has rather boring, monotonous interface that is, however, pretty easy to use. It can show all days within a single month with all them featuring previously entered events clearly indicated, plus you also have weekly (quite comfier for people with busier schedules) and agenda views. The latter visualizes a vertical list of upcoming events, sorted chronologically. You can also create several separate calendars, but you are disallowed to synchronize them with other calendars over the air. Unfortunately, there is still no application developed for Maemo 5 that adds similar functionality, so we consider the lack of over the air synchronization a serious drawback of the device.
The Nokia N900 doesn´t come with pre-installed Office software, although there are such applications at Maemo Community (available with the N900 by default). At this time, "Documents on the go" is the only program that can open both Office 2003 and 2007 files, but it´s not exactly free. It will set you back with $10, but at least you get a 30 day free trial to make up your mind... not that you´ve got many options really. Nokia should be launching a new, dedicated Maemo section at Ovi Store soon, but we still don´t know when exactly.

The flash on Nokia N86 8MP is dual led. Good review as always.

This was an excellent review! Great works, guys! I am looking for a succesor for my E71, but it looks like I am going to have to wait for Exchange Support! I'd also like to see better performance in the Maps program, as well. Everything else sounds like it's pretty much the perfect device. I don't see portrait mode as a drawback, for the type of device it is, although with all that power under the hood, I would expect most of the applications and OS to work in some capacity in either orientation.

From what I have read, the N900 supports exchange.

Really disappointing to see all the things missing from the software. I have come to expect Nokia to include lots of options for things like the camera and video recording, and to see half of that stuff missing is just sad. I really do hope that if Nokia plans on using this in other Nseries devices in the future, not internet tablets, they add all the things that are missing, and fix that maps program. Hey PhoneArena, you never said what the stereo speakers sounded like. How do they compare to the N95, N97, and 5800?

OurDelta mirrors – transient issue
Alrighty, my mistake. In the setup of the mirror infrastructure, I stuffed up the server alias logic so that some yum and apt-get requests will be failing at the moment (specifically on the us mirrors). The uk mirror should be ok. Either temporarily override your config for the uk mirror, or wait a few hours as things gets sorted on those systems. Sorry!
Update: all fixed now – and it seems the mirror people are smarter than I anyway 😉
We'll get some testing and monitoring in place for this kind of thing, it's obviously very tricky to spot such problems otherwise.

Sermon Podcasts
Listen to the sounds of a whole 'nother O, The Oregon Community! Join Pastors Ryan Saari, Ron Hockley, Bob Vander Meer and special guests as they pontificate on love, life, and the Bible. From Acts to Zion, the word of God is spoken into our ear-holes and absorbed into our eternal-souls. Join us, who knows, you may learn something!
Non-Series Sermons
Holidays, guest speakers and special sermons. Here you will find them all.
Together, we're going to go through the life of Jesus. His teachings, and his death and resurrection. Discovering all along the way what this Gospel is. At every step, every stage, it's God flipping civilization on it's head. Reconstructing, not only the questions, but most definitely, the answers.
Ephesians: Your Church is Too Small
This week we kick off our New Series! Together, we'll be spending the Fall going through the Book of Ephesians. We're calling it "Your Church is Too Small".I can't wait for us to dive into this book that is about, among many things, what "the Church" is. Or, maybe more importantly, WHO the Church is. Looking forward to what we discover together.
Throughout this series, we're going to be looking at various ideas, relationships, practices and theories and simply ask, "Is this outdated?" Have we been banging our heads against the wall, trying to break through. Trying to understand. Trying to grow. But in reality, we're approaching the whole thing wrong. It's antiquated. It's outdated.
Words and Stories
Our new series is called Words and Stories. We will be looking at, you guessed it, words and stories that Jesus told. Some are the ones we gloss over because they don't make any sense, others we gloss over because we've heard them again and again. But there's more. There's always more.
The Life I've Always Wanted
This isn't going to be another "Put your best foot forward" kind of series. This is going to be a battle, a war. The choice to follow the Spirit, to be lead by our muse. Engage in the power and beauty of this life, or be conquered by it, and just be another epitaph: born this day, died this day. I'm excited to win this war, together. Come join us...
Fruit - More Than Virtue
Together we're going to study each of the Fruits of the Spirit, and talk about how they're more than just "good things" that we should do. It's more than just a list of virtues. Right?
Values - They Really Tie the Room Together
As our church approaches a milestone birthday, we take a look once again at who we are.
Proverbs - A Wiser Fella Than M'self Once Said...
I thought I read everything... until I read this!
Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time.
He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannont see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. Ecclesaistes 3.11
