I know it goes without saying around here, but big thanks to @helipilotdoug for helping me out with some raw materials to wire my subs. Although my total expenditure was less than $50, Doug made me feel like I was his only customer and treated me like someone spending 100 times more. He took the time to answer some questions, provide advice, and supply the what I needed to finish my project. He's another true asset to the Club Polk community. Douglas Connection is now my go-to place for cable needs.

Thanks again Doug!

    I agree,
    I've had a lot of fun with the young man :D:D:D

    He's provided excellent service and great custom projects for me.

    Speaking of the guy behind the tree... is his head growing out of the center of his chest or what?

    I got my Furez speaker cable from Doug. A+ guy to deal with. If I need more cable he is where I will go to first.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    ^^^ Do it. So easy, and it looks so much nicer. It's kind of a shame... most of the length of my cables will be in behind the subs. They'll probably never be seen, but I'll know how good they look, and in some strange way, I think they'll sound better too!

    Yeah, I've got my one cable for the Ultimax done, its the one that goes partially under the carpet I'd finish....

    You know, the one hidden inside conduit and then by a sofa table......

    So I understand :smile:
