I just found out there is a Yard House Restaurant in Raleigh. Guess I will have to start planning a trip back over that way sometime during the new year so I can hit it up.

Indeed! Had a friend from high school introduce me to it when visiting Atlanta this summer. The place was amazing. I can't wait to go back. Chocolate Stout beer float ![Drool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/drool.gif)
Wish I would have known there was one in Raleigh when he had the Raleigh meet. I would have proceeded to go there for dinner before going home.

There is a company now making this. I am both happy and sad since I already have one.

Well after 3 hours of testing various things in the TSX last night I am pretty confident in my assessment of why I no longer have an audio is due to some sort of an issue inside my $1000 5 channel amp.
Taking it to PA with me to have the shop I bought it from check it out. I just can't win it seem.

what amp do you have? im running active set up off of my 5 channel zuki eleets hybrid that i love. i have gain set at maybe 2/3 way up for front stage and thats plenty enough. if you cant get yours fixed id look into zuki, theres plenty of guys over at diyma.com who are running them as well.
you wont find zuki in any store, its a small company with everything built in las vegas. heres a review: http://www.soundbuggy.com/Eric/Car%2...nel/index.html

It is a Memphis Audio Big Belle 300/4 + 1100/1. I am hoping it might end up being something small that can be fixed but if not I am looking at 3 options that are all around the same price range.
1. Just buy another Big Belle
2. JL Audio (2) XD 600/1 and (1) 400/4
3. JL Audio HD 600/4 and 1200/1
I prefer to keep everything the same brand just for the sake of being OCD and liking things to match but it is not 100% set that I won't change. Specs of whatever I get need to be fairly similar to what I have though as I don't feel like replacing speakers and subs.

I also been busy getting ready for my audio setup and overhaul.
Going with JL Audio Amps etc, replacing all factory speakers.
Not sure if i wanna go all out with it, and take over the whole trunk.
Or just throw a box and nice sub and call it a day.

Depending on what you want 1 or 2 subs . I went with a JL Audio sub , HO110RG-w3v3 . Still have a lot o trunk space and sounds good and can boom when i want it too .

If you don't want to take up the whole trunk I would go with this for your sub enclosure over just a box.

Ok my sub choices are between JL 12W7 or 12W6
Mids and tweets will be Focal
Amps will be JL 500 or 1000/1 and a 4 or 5 channel amp for the small componets.
I like this setup also by JPTL04 from azine

What's up folks. Not in Charlotte here, but Greenville, SC.
Funny you guys mention Sonny's, had them all over in FL. Now the only one near me is about 25 miles away. That being said, I know you guys have a Mac's Speed shop. Tried that here recently since they opened one a few months ago and their BBQ is wicked awesome. Some of the best brisket I've ever had.
While I'm here... anyone who see's a TL-S 07-08 6MT in the area FS, please let me know.

Yeah I saw the first part of the schedule. Not really a fan. Probably only going to go to Spring IA. The other two are just crazy far away.

Shortly after i took those photos there was a brilliant sunset. Unfortunately we had already parked at the mall and realized how sexy the sky had become after the quick photos. Oh well. I did manage to take a photo of the sky and i'm going to try and install it into another photo that i took of the TL and s2000.
