Great Amp for the money.

Pioneer GM D9500F 4 Channel Bridgeable Amplifier

I'll make this short and sweet, just like this amp. i recently replaced my Dual amps with the kickers. Dual was pretty good and the kickers of course were better. Then i had the chance to hear this one, so for the price i thought i would try it. Bad ass, way better than my kicker amps-I was shocked. So i have donated the kicker amps. And also purchased the gm-d7500 pioneer. These little amps stay cool, not even warm. Man can they pound, and are so clear. Makes you wonder how some of the other guys can justify their outrages prices. Also my son is running the JL audio amps, and now is trying to sell his so he can get theese new pioneers, they rock hard. TRY THEM AND YOU WONT BE DISAPOINTED-NO BETTER AMPS OUT THERE FOR THE MONEY AND QUALITY. power is what they state if not far more. and this is truely a 0 distortion amp. UPDATE- Thought i should give some more detail so you can realy apreciate just how good this amp is. I am running it in 4 channel mode from my clarion head unit. Channel A is driving 1pr 6x9 kickers (300 watts each) and 1pr 4x6 (250 watts each) so pulling 2ohm load on channel A. Channel B is driving 1pr kicker 6x9"s (300 watts each). On both channels i have the gain just barely turned up from its lowest position, thats how awesome it is. And it still drives all the speakers with pounding capabilities. Hits great highs, mids and lows. After returning from a 3hr trip today, reached down to feel the amp, and i couldnt belive it. cold like it wasnt even on. This thing is just awesome. and we puonded it hard, my ears were ringing for the next hr when i got home. Well done to pioneer. couldnt beat the price, got it when it was $160 I wanted to update you just how great theese amps are, i now have 2 of the gmd-8500's added.( for 2 kicker cvr 12 inch subs) Main thing is no stress to the trucks electrical system or battery, and my lights never dim. So i had to speak with pioneers tech dept to see what the deal was (all my other amps, kicker, alpine and jL always dimmed lights and strained the system) well pioneer has some realy sweet new technoligie in the gmd series where you dont need to run a capacitor. Its amazing other companies have not figured this out. been doing systems now for 30 plus yrs and theese are by far the best and underated amps out there today. ( hate to boast to much or they will start raising the prices) Anyway never been a big pioneer fan but on theese amps they hit a home run. Unless you are spending over $1000 bucks you cant beat theese. Have now purchased atotal of 14 of theese amps for family and friens. And not one complaint, everyone just loves them. I love pulling up next to the young'ns who think they have a competiton system, then over powering them with volume and sound quality. funny to see the thousands and thousands they spent and to be envious of mine. Anyway keep on rock'n,rapp'n, whatever your flavor is. ( i love all kinds of music if its good) Remember music is food for the soul, and theese hard times we all deserve quality without having to take out a loan. lol P.S. sorry this is not showing up in paragraph form. when i typed it, it does. but not when it post's

Vox amPlug AC30 Guitar Headphone

I bought this to use with a Traveler Pro-Series "Silent" guitar. I bought this guitar (obviously) for traveling. I immediately realized that the stethophone that comes with the Traveler hurts my ears after just a few minutes of use. I wasn't sure if this VOX amp would physically plug into the Treveler due to the odd angle of the amp-out receptacle. it JUST fits and lays almost flat if you plug it in before attaching the lap rest to the guitar. I use the earbuds from my iPhone and it sounds great. I can play for hours in total comfort now.

One thing that was never mentioned in the specifications of the unit was whether it has a 1/4" or 1/8" earphone jack. It is a standard 1/8" jack.

I also plugged this into my Fender Stratocaster and Ibanez S just to test it. It plugs right into the Strat, but as another user reviewed, it won't plug into the S-Series Ibanez.

I still rate this 5-star, but if you expect to use it with an Ibanez S-Series, beware...

wow

JBL GTO938 9 Inch 3 Way Loudspeaker

I was going between several different 6x9's (polk mm series, Boston Acoustic SR series, and Infinity Kappas) but ultimately settled on these due to great price on sale, and free two day shipping through discover. I was not disappointed. I am sending these approximately 100 watts of power, and they screamed. I'm using these for the rear deck in a 2011 Toyota Camry, and the tweeters were a tad bright when I high passed the speakers at 80 hz and set the tweeter switch to 0db. I tried the -3 db setting, and they sounded a little better. These went in my wife's car, and she decided she did not want subwoofers, so I decided to try these at playing bass as well. I have old precision power amps with great crossovers, so I low passed the speakers at 5000 hz. Well wouldn't you know they sounded great. The low pass setting took care of the tweeter brightness (moved the switch back to the 0db setting). They actually rattle her trunk, and sound like an entry level subwoofer inside the car! Very surprising. They handle the bass and power well! Lot more sound than I expected. You wont be sorry.

P.S. Prior to amping these, I had them hooked up to the factory radio, and they sounded good, but distorted at higher volumes. After putting the amp on them, I would suggest not even trying these without an amp. I would guess they were only 1/4 as loud prior to amping them. Go for a lower power handling speaker if you don't plan on amping them with at least 50 watts.

Ipod Killer!

Samsung YP G1CWY XAA 4 Inch Galaxy

When I was looking for a new mp3 player, I knew I would like to get away from the iPods. The only problem was that they do so much. With Apple controlling the market for ways to listen to music I had no idea Samsung had come out with this gem. I love it. The Samsung Galaxy mp3 player is probably my favorite purchase in a long time. With the large memory capacity, touch screen, app market, music, and ability to connect to WiFi it has become one of my favorite possessions. As someone who doesn't want to pay every month for a data plan this was the perfect thing.

Pros:
8gb built in memory with slot for 32gb MicroSD card(totally worth it to get)
Crystal clear and precisely accurate touch screen
Android powered=huge app store
the headphones that come with it are pretty good(way better than the Apple ones)
WiFi and bluetooth capabilities(perfect for people like me, or parents who don't want their kids to run wild with a data plan)
External speakers are pretty loud while still being clear

Cons:
It needs to be said that this is NOT a smartphone. It can connect to existing WiFi, but when you're on the road= no internet
Can only add up to 32 gbs of memory(this is nit-picking though, total 40 gb memory is not too shabby)
The software is a little less user-friendly than ipods, you have to navigate a little bit more
The port for the wire is small and at the top=no docking capabilities(I'm still doing research on speaker options about this)

All in all, this is a pretty great device. The price you can't beat. I bought this device with a 32gb MicroSD card and totaled at 200 bucks. You would spend around 300 bucks on an ITouch with 32 gb. For me this was a no-brainer, and I am completely happy with my purchase(I've owned it for about 4 months now). I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

It doesn't get much better than SoundFly!

Soundfly Player Transmitter Stick Players

It works well with most of the media that it is built to use. I am currently using a PNY 4gb SDHC card. It handles both SD and SDHC.
The Soundfly SD works well with Windows Media Player sync option as long as you allow Windows Media player convert the files. If you don't convert the files you will get a lot of what sounds like static.
I am not sure if it is a Windows Media player thing or not, as that is the only Sync program I have.

The reason I bought this is; I can be in as much as 4 different vehicles per day and to have a little device like this that I can just plug in to a 12 volt outlet, tune the radio to my preset frequency and have tunes is well worth the price.

What I would love to see in the future is; to have the Soundfly SD handle an unlimited amount of files so when they some out with a 120gb SD card it will read all the files, but for now I will have to use a few different SDHC cards (which you can buy for less per album than a CDR and much more convenient than having all those CDs to carry).
Update: It took a while to find out, If you are using the Soundfly SD to play Albums that you sync to the SD card the device will only read 20 albums and will ignore the rest on the card so it wouldn't do much good to buy more than a 2gb sound card as that would hold about 20 albums.

The SM65's exceeded ALL of my expectations in EVERY speaker and listening arrangement imaginable!!!

Definitive Technology SM65 Bookshelf Speaker

I am in awe of these bookshelf speakers. This is an overused phrase, but these speakers really do sound like they should cost several times the price I paid for them. The bass extension is superb, the mids are crystal clear, and the highs are well defined. The crossover between tweeter and woofers is seamless. It's as if I'm listening to a $3000 pair of floor-standing speakers. Three of these would create a great value proposition for right-center-left channel speakers in a home theater set-up. For 2-channel music listening, a subwoofer is not needed. I would not hesitate to buy them again. These speakers are designed in the USA and unfortunately, made in China. Definitive would be unable to sell these at the current price point if they were manufactured in the USA. Very good construction quality and quality control! I also own the smaller SM45 which are also truly outstanding and may be all you need for a modest apartment or room.

Don't believe the negative reviews...

Cellet Retractable Charger iPhone Licensed

This charger is amazing! It's packaging is simple, it arrived on time, and most importantly it works. Now I can listen to music with my iPod, while charging it in my Honda civic. I deliver pizza's, and I have to say it makes my life much easier. I use it everyday, and no mater how badly I treat it, it doesn't break. This product is amazingly durable. I would recommend anyone reading this to buy this if you need a iPod charger for your car that you need to use a lot. Because it retracts it will fit in any position comfortably without getting in the way 100/10 best buy in months!

Update: I have had this now for 8 months. It is the best charger I have ever owned. This thing goes through hell, I beat the hell out of it and use it several hours a day (I deliver pizzas). Seriously, if you have any ipod and need a charger, this thing is it. This was my first purchase on Amazon, and definitely one of my best.
