    Did you add a sub into the cab as well?


    On another note to our step people on board. I apologize if I do not have the correct terminology for the parts names.

    When building steps for a porch to go to the ground do you pour a concrete pad for the step frame boards to rest on? If you do is it advisable to attach these boards to the concrete with brackets or do they just rest on top of the concrete?

    aren't the plans supposed to prevent issues, not create issues?

    Dude, I swear to god that these days, I am stunned if someone does know how to do their job. I don't even know how to respond if something works or is handled correctly on the first hack. BofA, Comcast, my lunch order...

    I'm really surprised that these companies can keep doing business and making money with the number of totally incompetent people they have and the number of worthless jobs that they are paying people to do.

    I am truly stunned at how low unemployment is. Should be about 50%, and half the population should be eating catfood or from dumpsters. It's soylent green time. But actually, in India, they are now eating like princes because of their "jobs" with Comcast etc.
