she is carmen, i when i was home over turkey break, (she is my parents) - we would play and i would try and get her to sleep in my room with me - but she would always sneak out to my parents room - since she loves to sleep at the foot of her bed...

but the day after i left back to school - my dad said he woke up and she was not in their room - but she was sleeping at the top of our stairs, as if she was waiting for me to come home late at night or something

haha yeah - kinda a side note, but when are you gonna throw that bad boy into the truck?

It just came in the mail today. I let some friends use it in a headunit comparison.

It helps reject outside noise interference.

Also helps add that Bling Bling yo! Copper is like the Platinum of Car Audio

Yeah... Copper really doesn't do ANYTHING...but like Rob said, it's the premium material of choice when it comes to high end electronics (probably because copper has low thermal conductivity and dissipates heat). The whole noise rejection thing... it's arguable. But damnit! It looks cool!!

It's just one of those things you're only going to find on super high-end units... and people get jaded over it -- even if it does close to nothing.

That would be like putting some 4 for 100$ Tires on a Corvette. They just don't belong together

Yeah..

The only way I see something like that happening is with a head unit that read a lossless digital format (.flac for example). MP3s, WMAs, etc. all sound SLIGHTLY worse simply due to the loss while ripping -- when you burn back onto CDs, you don't retain the original sound quality.

I don't have golden ears either. I wouldn't mind listening to MP3's

It has two sets of RCA's so I can hook up an MP3 player to it, or hopefully in the future I can score the Clarion DVD changer. Then I could put a crapload of MP3's on a single DVD.

In the future, if I install a computer in the trcuk I can hook it up through the Optical input on the cdplayer. Then I can listen non mp3 music straight from the harddrive of the PC. That should be pretty cool.
