Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Front Floor Mat (Tan)

Husky Liners Custom Fit Heavy Duty Front Floor MatThis Husky liner is certainly a well made product..

I like that there is no smell to it and the lip that surrounds the edge to protect against spills and keep moisture inside.

I wanted it for my 99' Benz S500 as I drive to the mountains regularly and the weather in the Northwest is often wet which equals muddy. This is a great product to protect my carpets the only real drawback is the fit is a little off .. not quite wide enough in the main body of the liner. And in the upper portion near gas pedal the design prevents a good clearance (the pedal is anchored to the floor ..you can't just slide the liner under it.. That said it works well enough for me though not the exact fit I was hoping for. Would I recommend it? I'm on the fence ..a more accurate selection tool is needed to get the right fit.

This item isn't gold it is bronze. The higher price just isn't justified. Comes with tiny wires coming from the bottom with no connectors. For it's price you'd think it would be gold and come with connectors.

Pros: It reads voltage.

Peak PKC0PB 4.3" GPS Navigation System with Backup Camera

Peak PKC0PB 4.3' GPS Navigation System with Backup CameraMaps have some points of interest,some businesses and restaurant in my neighborhood and I am just 6 miles from DC. No police station info for the incorporated area I have lived in for 4 years. The back-up camera is nice,the antennae attached to charger sits low and looses signal easily but is mostly reliable. NO, I would not want you to spend your money on this product unless PEAK issues a patch for updates of maps-I have treid 4 times and not much help with the PEAK techs leaving me rudderless about map upgrades.

System was easy to install with good directions. The only problem is I get a little interference when in the backup mode, I am not sure if it is the unit or the position where I mounted it. Overall well worth the money and is definitly cheaper than buying seperate units.Nice to have both gps and backup camera in one unit.

Vivitar Battery Panasonic Bch7 Pbbch7

Vivitar Battery Panasonic Bch7 Pbbch7I can't yet vouch for battery life but it charges, fits, and works with Lumix DMC-FP1 (and presumably with other Lumix that use DMW-BCH7). A spare battery is really an essential accessory; this one seems to be cheap and good.

Blueant S4 Bluetooth Stereo Speaker

Blueant S4 Bluetooth Stereo SpeakerThe S4 has a lot of good qualities. Excellent battery life, solid microphone and speaker, and it responds well to commands...if it responds at all.

My wife has the exact kind of voice for which voice recognition systems (Google voice search on her phone, or the S4 in this case) are NOT designed. She can't get it to respond to her voice to start up the process. Once it asks her to "say a command," then she can say "phone commands" and make a call. But she can't get it to activate while it's just listening, passively. Meanwhile, I'm in the passenger seat and can get it to work while speaking softly. In terms of voice recognition systems, my voice is perfect for them. So...it works great for me, not so much for her.

The microphone and speaker are great. The included micro USB cable is ridiculously short, but I guess they're thinking you would use the cigarette lighter adapter and not want too long of a cord in your car while charging. I just charge it at home overnight, and it lasts for days and days, even if left on by mistake for much of that time.

One thing to note you tell it to use "phone commands" and then it activates the phone's command system. It is merely a speaker and microphone for that system despite the whole "import contacts" it is not doing recognition itself. The phone is. So if you have a bad (or badly designed) voice dialing system on your phone, it'll be just as bad with the S4. I have an HTC Incredible and that's great. My wife has a Droid X and its need for one more level of confirmation slows her down. My rooted EVO 4G, for work, is somewhere in between. But that's the phone, not the S4.

The Blueant S4 missed the mark. The have used other devices and decided to upgrade. I bought the S4 and I am so disappointed. The quality is lacking, the commands are silly and hard to use and I have to speak the commands several times to get the S4 to select the right one. 2 out of 3 times it selects the wrong person from my address book and that SILLY trigger "BlueAnt speak to me" is driving me crazy. Not worth the money.

I am surprised by some of the negative reviews. I have had this device for a couple of years now and I use it every day and love it. No one ever complains that they can not hear me and I can always hear others clearly. I keep it mounted in my car and always easily have hands free talking without having to clip anything to my ear. I wold highly recommend the device. Becasue I have two phones connectted at all times (work and personal), I use the activation of the voice dialing from my phones not the Blueant device so I can be sure which phone is being selected to call from. That seems to work best with two phones connected.

Works well. The first one died a few weeks into use. Blue Ant was outstanding and fast replacement. A very good speaker!

I've had this product for over a year now. The "true" handsfree worked great for the first 9 months. Then I began experiencing problems whereby the Blueant device's handfree feature could not hear me. I continued to use it for a few more months but would have to push the multifunction button so that I could speak to it. Close to 12 months after purchase, the listening mechanism stopped functioning altogether. I couldn't dial out unless I dialed through my Blackberry. I got an RMA and obtained a replacement. The replacement was brand new in a box...I was very surprised. Everything began working again. Now, another 6 months into it and the handfree feature is starting to breakdown again. I have to use the multifunction button to dial out.

I have other Blueant devices and they work great. It think there might be a reliability issue with the S4.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Ford Models (Black)

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Ford ModelsI was looking to put floor liners in my 1995 Bronco XLT since the carpets took a beating last winter. I wanted Weathertech brand because I've had good luck with them in the past. There was no option available for the Bronco though. The Husky liners work and fit exactly the same. I'm very satisfied with this product so far. We'll see how it holds up through the winter.

Note: This product fits Broncos with the dash mounted transfer case, but has a small side area (clearly marked) that can be trimmed to fit the floor mounted lever.

This is my second pair. My first pair was for a 2003 Ford f250 super duty and this pair is for a 1994 Ford F350. Both pairs fit well, are sturdy, don't slide, and are tough.

Boss PH5000D Phantom 5000-Watt Class D Monoblock Amplifier with Remote

Boss PH5000D Phantom 5000-Watt Class D Monoblock Amplifier with Remote
  • Monoblock Phantom amplifier with Class D power supply
  • Delivers 5000 Watts at 1 ohm; 3500 Watts at 2 ohms; 1800 Watts at 4 ohms
  • Line and speaker level inputs with variable gain control
  • Low-pass variable crossover; 18dB bass boost
  • Includes remote sub control

I have had many systems over the last twenty years. Sure my hearing maybe going, but that just means I need louder and louder systems.

This is a good amp. I don't buy electronics based on brand name anymore. All electronics are made in Asia anyway. I bought this amp based on the spec's. It is pushing two, 4 ohm, 12 inchers, and a 5 ohm, 10 inch, at 1.9 ohms total. I hooked my meter up to double check the ohms.

My car lights dim at night. The sound is tight, not distorted, and prefect for rock to rap. I would snatch this amp up if I needed to build another system.

The design is clean and stealthy, I like it simple, because I don't show my systems off. I like to listen to them not look at them so this is perfect for me. The product picture doesn't give the actual amp the justice it deserves.

I recommend it. Have fun blasting out your ears, just make sure your car doesn't fall apart. I would recommend sealing up your car so it doesn't rattle, but it's your call. I am off the upset the neighborhood with my music. Later system heads.

I have to admit that the price of this amp had me thinking only one thing before I decided to take a gamble and purchase it anyway, to good to be true. Fortunately for me and my wallet, I was wrong. When I received this amp from Amazon my initial suspicions of "too good to be true" became evident right away. This amp requires you to remove a metal bar off each end of the amp with a supplied allen wrench in order to wire it. This is not unusual, I've had quite a few other amps in my history that have required such things. The main issue with this is that the nuts that I needed to loosen with the allen wrench seemed to be stripped. I managed to get 1 of the 4 nuts loosened with the wrench and out of frustration I took my drill to the other 3. So basically, I will not be putting the bars back on the amp.

So I wired up my amp and turned on my system and much to my surprise a giant fireball did not emanate from the amp. (I can be a bit of a pessimist from time to time). In fact I was pleasantly surprised at how much power this amp does have. By the way, this amp will not accept 0 gauge wire. I believe it will only take 4 gauge. I have this amp pushing 2 15" Kicker L5's. My subs are rated 750 RMS/1500 max EACH. It is a 4ohm DVC load wired parallel to 1ohm. And I have yet to feel the need to turn the input or the bass boost on this amp up all the way. My input is about 3/4 of the way up, and my bass boost may be slightly less turned up and it provided plenty of bass. I have all my stock speakers replaced with custom speakers (all amplified) and again, this amp does a great job with supplying the needed bass to accommodate.

So to summarize all of my gibberish, I would certainly recommend purchasing this amp. Esp for novice or amateur audio system fans like myself who have some nice quality 12's or 15's they need to push. I'm not a audio expert and I'm aware that some other reviewers have claimed that this amp is not capable of producing what is says it can produce. I don't know if that is true or not. All I will say is don't underestimate it's power. If it claims that it can put out more rms than your sub woofers can handle than assume it's true, and start out with your amp inputs turned down and adjust accordingly.

When you consider the prices of other similar wattage amplifiers (if you can find any) of what is to be considered high end or more popular name brands like Rockford Fosgate or Kicker, this amp is a steal. If I were picky I might knock this amp down a star or even half a star for the issues with the allen wrench and the fact that it will not accept 0 gauge wire but I'm not. All I really care about is if it sounds good. And if it thuds. And it certainly thuds..

Nice amp! It looks cool and seems pretty solid. I'm running a 3600w 15" sub at 2ohms with it and it sounds superb! Very tight and clean, even with my crappy enclosure. I'm very excited to get a new dual-ported box and run two subs at 1ohm. I know it's gonna sound very good!

amp works alright should be much more powerful. consider it to be over rated. obviously it don't accept 0 gage wire so it is not a true 5000 watts at 1 ohm nore 3000 at 2 ohm. still a good amp, but probably better suited for the boss subs, which i now believe are also over rated. first amp shut down and smoked. replacement amp again went into protection mode and would not reset at least no smoke. the amp is good for the price, but dont parallel parallel your subs to a 1 ohm load stay at a 2 ohm with a series parallel set up.

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Chevrolet/Cadillac/GMC Mo

Husky Liners Classic Style Custom Fit Molded Front Floor Liner for Select Chevrolet/Cadillac/GMC ModelsWe use our Suburban for fishing trips, and wet wading boots aren't compatible with the stock carpet mats. These fit perfectly, catch all the grime, and the raised lip contains debris within the mat (just remember to raise your foot and not drag it on the lip when entering). Very easy to remove and clean.

Husky Liners Always a Perfect Fit. I have owned these for almost every car/truck I have owned and I have never been dissapointed. The cutouts and humps, etc are exactly where the should be everytime. Highly recommended!

Tripp Lite APS1250 Inverter / Charger 1250W 12V DC to 120V AC 30A 5-15R 2 Outlet

Tripp Lite APS1250 Inverter / Charger 1250W 12V DC to 120V AC 30A 5-15R 2 OutletI used to be a big APC fan, but over the years I have had all kinds of problems with them not behaving well after a battery change. They don't even like the batteries purchased from APC.

I wanted something to use with my computers that did not require specific batteries.Tripp Lite APS1250 1250W 12V DC to AC Inverter with Automatic Line-to-Battery 30-Amp Charger

This product worked out great because I just picked up a couple of Marine Deep Cycle Wet batteries (approx $60 ea) used some cables I had around (#2 Battery cables from auto parts store work great) Just get short ones with two eyes for the connections between batteries (wingnut on bolt connections on most deep cycles) and one longer one to cut in 1/2 and use for both connections to the APS.

The APS takes a 5.5mm allen wrench to tighten the connections, I had to cut the plastic around the outlets a little to get my power strip to plug in directly.

A large (8D) battery box will hold up to 3 size 24 batteries, so I am going to pick up one of those this week.

This unit does not have the B series of DIP switches.

This unit also initially charged the batteries at 50A and then dropped down as they took a surface charge.

The transfer to UPS is seamless when unplugging from the wall for testing.

No flicker or anything on any of the computers.

I am running two computers (+LCDS, Drives, etc) one with a 1000W DA1000 SilverStone DA1000 1000W ATX 12V 2.2 and EPS 12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Power Supply Retailthe other with a really old 350W supply.

I also have 5 SATA drives in the desktop.

The desktop really only drew 25A on a bootup on battery which = 300W, the constant draw on the batteries with both systems in active mode is 24A The load also includes UVerse box, 8 port switch, two external drives, usb hub, phones, etc.

Am very pleased to retire my SU1000, my SU700R, and my SU420NET upses as well as the various BK500s in my office for this one, much more efficient unit.

When I do some AC testing for how the unit performs from a generator, I will add to my review.

I have installed this along with an AGM battery as a power back-up for my sump pump. It had no trouble starting my 1/3rd hp pump. A good feature is the "charge only" mode that allows you to shut the inverter down when not needed (the winter months in my case), thus preserving the battery. It also has a setting for the type of battery being used (wet cell or glass-mat). I bought this unit to replace one from the Inverter Store that failed in less than a year.

This Tripp Lite 1200 watt inverter/30 watt converter combo is working perfectly. It provides power to the RV entertainment center up to 5 hours a day. It is connected to a12 volt, 220 amp hr battery. The maximum power drawn is 350 watts in this service so this unit is not working hard, but it certainly works well. The converter is in parallel with a 5 amp solar charger and there has been no problems with this connection.

I bought one of these to provide uninterrupted power to my computer, internet and a NAS. The device failed less than two months after the 1 year warranty had expired. It no longer charges my batteries and says it's over loaded, even when nothing is plugged in. I now have a 400 dollar boat anchor, not to mention another 400 worth of batteries, cables and the trip-lite remote switch that I bought to go with it.

Want Tripp Lite APS1250 Inverter / Charger 1250W 12V DC to 120V AC 30A 5-15R 2 Outlet Discount?

this is a great all-in-one solution for battery-based off-the-grid power. I spent a lot of time researching chargers and inverters and which ones I should combine before I found this, which does both easier and much cheaper for comparable performance.

my only suggestion would be for them to add a couple of fused terminals for direct DC power that could be shut off when the voltage is too low, but we can't have everything I guess.

UPDATE: after about 3 years of light summer usage, this thing up and completely quit on me. no power, nothing. it was nice while it lasted, but far too much to spend on something that is just going to fail after a while.
