    Strangest things you’ve seen at your gigs

    Not a gig but I saw this at a David Allen Coe show about 15 or so years ago. DAC is playing and singing a song when his guitar player stepped up to him and tuned David's guitar as he was playing it. First and only time I've ever seen that at a show.

    Here's a make you feel old post for the old guys...

    I remember that day as if it were yesterday. My high school girlfriend and I went to the Mall that day to go to the record store. As we walked down the hall towards Mayor records (remember record stores?) we could hear the closing moments of "Runnin' With the Devil" as we walked. Just as we...

    Ebay and Reverb question

    Sold a preamp on the bay for $350. The bay and PayPal took just over $50 in fees for the sale. I sold a power amp on Reverb for $350 and they took $12 and change. Both sales were about 3 years ago but Reverb is still the way to go.

    Like Sand Through the Hour Glass

    We moved from our first house after only living there 5 years. When we started packing things the wife and I were like, "How did we amass all this shtuff after only 5 years?" We've been at our current address for 23 years now and are thinking about our next move. Oh how I dread that day.

    any car audio experts here?

    Going active with the tweet amplification is up to you. I've done both active and passive crossover setups in the past and to be perfectly honest I don't have a preference either way. As for where to place the tweets that seems to be a personal preference kind of thing. Personally I think the...

    any car audio experts here?

    I've got 6.5" Morel "Hybrid" components in the front of my Silverado and Morel mid-woofers in the back. Your components should sound noticeably better with more power driving them. In my experience that's pretty much the case whenever you have component speakers with passive crossovers that...

    HU = Head Unit, yes.

    any car audio experts here?

    IMO, you really should consider replacing the factory HU as well. Feeding the signal from it to a quality amp and speaker setup is a perfect example of “garbage in, garbage out”. I have an O-scope, a Steve Meade Designs DD-1 Distortion Detector and a CC-1 Crossover Calibrator that I use to do...

    Lube Your Nuts?

    My homebrew recipe consists of bee's wax lip balm with a tiny dash of graphite powder. It works great, costs next to nothing and can be found pretty much anywhere.

    Gigging: How to sell Beer & Booze? Tips & tricks you've learned?

    Don't know how or even if it would apply here but the church in town has their carnival every Spring. They're not allowed to sell beer but they are allowed to sell tickets that you can exchange for beer.
