    Nope, moved out here when i was 16 back in 1988. Been here ever since. I'm running my family corporation here. I still go back to visit once a year. Unfortunately, I usually just stay in Cali most of the time. I miss Florida a lot!

    California is pretty nice (if you like all the highways). Florida is better for me though. I feel at home everytime i go back. You are right about the zoo, brought my daughter there and we only stayed there for about 4 hours. Got boring pretty fast.

    What subs would you recommend to go along with the PG's?

    it depends.i love my kicker.more so since i got a new box for it.check out my gallery.it pounds,but also sounds good with all sorts of music.

    are there any shops around you so that you can listen to any?

    Pedro: Kickers are all over the place here. I was thinking of getting something good but not that well known here. it's the usual here, JL, Kicker, RF etc. the problem here is that they do sell them but the sales people are horrible here. they just let the item sell itself. You ask some one here and they just look at me like im from another planet. lol.... I was looking at assassins, FI audio, ED stuff like that. have you heard anything about them?

    aznboi: bro, vietnam is pretty close to here. just a few hours by plane. I heard that vietnam is supposed to be a cool place to go on vacation now. its starting to have a lot of tourist go there.
    The Philippines, the people here think very western so everybody can speak english, the music is up to date here as well as car audio is up to date but is very expensive here. It would be a lot cheaper if i bought it in the U.S. and carried it back with me to the philippines.

    Dave, the assassins are really that good? I've heard on many forums that people like them.

    What about the infinity kappa perfect 12" at 4 ohms? they have a buy one take one on crutchfield for $179.99

    the assassins are about $90 plus another $10 for shipping. between the two, you would go for the assassins instead of the infinity?

    hmm thats a tough one. Since they have such a good deal I would prolly get the Infinity Perfects for that price. 2 Kappa Perfects sound really nice with some good clean power I know that for a fact.
