    why does a car's subwoofer seem boomier than a hometheater's subwoofer?

    1. Most people put 300 watts to a 12" sub in a car that's maybe 12' X 8' X 4' 2. Most home stereos are a 10" sub with 100 watts of power for a room that's 15' X 15'x 10'. Bigger sub with more power in a smaller area. Means more BOOOOOMMMM.

    serial to usb cable

    I just got a serial to usb converter cable from newegg. I'm trying to hook me Skycaddie/GPS up to my new computer which doesn't have a serial port. I installed the driver and it appears to be working in the Hardware profile list (shows as a port on com4). It will not connect to the skycaddie...

    Yes Finally a Machine

    So your saying do not get a SLI motherboard or do not get a 7800GTX? Why would I not be able to upgrade the bios? On the motherboard or video card? So I should run 2 512mb sticks. I'll need to check the price but I maybe able to get 4 512mb sticks of OCZ gold for about the same price.

    Thanks going to rethink the Plextor and WD drives. Should I go with 2 gig of cheaper ram? The OCZ stuff is pricey.

    Best Bang for the Buck CPU

    Ok I'm building a new system. I've read as much as I can about Dual core and single core AMDs. My brain has just exploded! I'm looking at spending around 1500 on my system. I do not need a monitor or drives. What is the best value right now? I'm looking at either a 4200+ X2 or would a...

    Liteon 411s or 811s???

    Ok Now you got me looking at the NEC 2500a. The only thing I see now is it's only a 32X CDR. What is the best DVD burner out there? So far the NEC has it in my book. 8X -R+R

    Liteon 411s or 811s???

    Is the 811s worth the extra 50 bones? It is only adding 4X to the +R side of the house. From my reading here -R media is the way to go. They both burn -R at 4X. What to do? Buy it or not?

    Cable Modem- EitherCard or USB 2.0

    Question should I run my cable modem through an eithernet card or through a USB 2.0 port? Which do you think would be faster? I'm only getting around 2 mb a sec. so I'm thinking they would be about the same.
