i did receive my replacement. it was better, but still not truely horizontal when i have the recorder in the verticle position. but, i found a good horizontal position, so no more issue with the cocked swivel. the base locks into the cupholder as you torque it in cw, so i can adjust the recorder to lay flat in parallel to the center console. since my camera is on the headrest i want to make sure i dont get it in the shot either... so i have it pushed back pretty far towards the passenger seat. ill snap a pict later. |

While I was detailing the Z last evening, I saw and heard these young kids racing their suped up VW Golf's, a mustang, and some other odd-ball cars. This was on local residential roads. There's one street that runs perpendicular to mine, but rises/falls depending upon your direction. These kids were racing in the direction that rises. I'm thinking, idiots! There 's a blind spot when you're traveling in the rising direction where the road flattens and you can't see an oncoming car over the horizon of the road. Keep in mind that this a two-way single-lane each way road so one of them was driving on the wrong side of the road.
Eventually, the police came around my neighborhood. The kids (teenagers) had stopped by then. I think that someone in my neighborhood called the cops. Later, I heard another car burning rubber again. I'm pretty confident that it was the Mustang, the older variety -- not the 5.0. However it was still powerful enough. Traditionally on many Thursday's, a parade of exotic/sports/vintage cars travels on a local road that I can see from the back my house. However they don't race. They just showcase themselves for all of the world to admire. They often meet at the local Log Cabin restaurant. It's a cool sight. I guess that the kids picked this day to do their racing because of it being a "car night".

Only one way to know for sure. One of us will have to deny the rest of us rep for a day (close the legs, say we have a headache) and then explode-rep as many different users as they can after that.

mr.gale- i bought mine through amazon, but you can get it direct from the manufacturer. their customer support so far has been top notch! Amazon.com: Satechi SCH-121 Cup Holder Mount for Smartphohes & Tablets: Kindle Fire, iPad, iPad 2, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Galaxy 10.1, Viewsonic Gtablet, Blackberry Playbook, HTC Flyer, iPhone, BlackBerry: Comput Satechi SCH-121 Cup Holder Mount for Smartphohes & Tablets: Kindle Fire, iPad, iPad 2, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Galaxy 10.1, Viewsonic Gtablet, Blackberry Playbook, HTC Flyer, iPhone, BlackBerry so far this is the cleanest looking one i could find. there are other similar ones, but the base looks like total crap when expanded. the satechi is very clean. and the base is very solid, no rattles. |

im still trying to decide if i want to install the db651 coax or not in my Z. hummmm... im sure it will sound much better but would i want the 6501's later when i swap out the HU...? i already have a pair of like-new dB521's i use to use in my old car in the basement just collecting dust waiting for a garage sale. would the 651's end up the same? hummm.... |

errrr.... or just install the 521's until next year when i do swap out the HU and run new wires to the db6501. then this experiment is free.
but 5.25 in a 6.5 size will fall in like me trying to wear a size 36. lol where the hell did the speaker go? |
