An offer I couldn't refuse...

So yes, I was made an offer.... an offer I couldn't refuse.... so I didn't. (refuse!)

As a radioshack associate, we were offered a price break on 2 different Sirius satellite radio receivers (for a VERY limited time... like 3 weeks) ... the Sportster4 Receiver for $90 (normally $149.99 retail), and the Stiletto100 Portable receiver for $150 (normally $349.99 retail). Yeah, I got the Stiletto :-P.

So I get the car kit, the DAY I order this thing (I have to have it shipped to me) just so I can get it installed, and take my time with it and not do a sloppy job with the installation. So with a little help from my good friend Raven, we get this thing installed... and damn, it just looks GOOD... no wires... anywhere! I am still psyched about that :-). So about 5 days ago, I get this thing, and since then... oh yes, TONS of awesome programming :-), I have 30 presets... and most of them are already filled.

So I'm thoroughly enjoying my radio about 2 days ago... Area 33 is one of my favorites (bad ass trance-y techno-y shit :-) ), and I hear a great beat... so I turn it up a little bit, and low and behold it just starts sounding like shit. NOW... I know all of my speakers have been blown (2 were before I owned the car) but this was just the last straw for me....

SO, I go to walmart last night, go pick out some half-way decent replacement speakers (I figure almost ANYTHING will sound better at this point). I find out shortly after opening the packaging, that the ones I picked out are low-line Rocksford Fosgate speakers (which if you don't know, they make some pretty excellent speakers!)... SHHAAWEEET.... so after a slight size mishap... I went back to walmart, got the right size, and finished the install in their parking lot... and drove home, literally in tears... my system sounds about 100x better and well, I'm an audiophile... you do the math....

so yeah, got a new haircut, a new radio, new speakers.... I'm doin pretty goddamn decent!
feelin good
TAYS... (Talk At Ya Soon!)
