If I ever put a system in the garage, it ISN'T going to be my M80s

Well the Axiom system is already paid for, and the Rockets are now paid for, so does not make a lot of sense to sell these Axioms, and buy in walls. The weather conditions here in the valley is mild, no extreme colds, in the summer since the garage is on the north side of the house, it remains cool. No moisture, humidity is not an issue so they should be rather happy in that area.
I talked with Amie and she reminded me they have Axioms in the boat house, have had for several years and no problems, so I see no reason not to do it.

You never said anything about giving the Axioms to poor college kids...

Um.... poor college kids don't already have a 5.1 Axiom system with a Hsu sub. Trust me. I had home built crapass speakers with Radio Shack drivers. And I wasn't poor, either.

I don't know about Dan, but I've busted my ass for my 5.1 Axiom and Hsu setup. I've flipped burgers, sold coupons door-to-door in the middle of summer (in PHX no less), and sold cell-phones, and AC service over the past few years to fund my system and other hobbies. Trust me, I'm not well-off by any stretch of the word. This isn't my point, I think I deserve some M80's as a graduation present!

Let's see.........................my first job was at about 8 years old, took 30 mintues each day, six days a week. Paid a whole $ 1.50 per week, thats what paid for my first new bike. lol
So after 48 years of working it is nice to be able to afford a few toys, so sorry, as much as I would like to be a nice guy and give away a set of Axioms ..................don't count on it.

I think it's great to have great sounds outside as well as in. Your neighbors get to enjoy them too.

hope nobody complained when i parked on the street !!!!!!!!

This guy puchased the house about 18 months ago from the orignal owner for $ 475k. With in a few months he had three new vehicles, a 30 ft RV trailer, new motorcycle, and other toys. He ignored all of the CRC ( agreement that all owners agree to when buying into this development). Seems his grandfather had won a lottery he is one of his favorite grand kids, so the guy gets a check every six months.
So he is pretty much alienated he and his family from the rest of the 11 neighbors. Seems I have become the most popular one that pisses him off. Becasue when he replaced a section of lawn with concrete and thought he was going to park the 30' RVin the front yard, and block 75% of the sidewalk, I pushed the city ordinance that he was breaking. So we started off on a bad note.

Good on you for taking a stand. Drives me crazy when people are so presumptuous to think that because they own the property (and in some cases simply becausse they have lots of money), they can do what ever they like.

When I was much younger, there was a guy on our street who owned a concrete business. He was going to expand his house until someone pointed out the zoning limitations. He ended up moving to a location (two streets over) where he built a new house dedicated to entertaining. Ended up drinking too much, lost his wife, went bankrupt and sold the house to a father of one of my friends.

Yea but some of these homeowner associations are out of control. I just got a letter about my yard needing maintenence. It is February, the grass stopped growing months ago, what the hell do they want me to do paint the damn grass green? I am not sure by what they mean by "maintenence" but they should be more specific.
