Jen, the restaurant is Holsteins tomorrow -- (link) - peglegpete Mar 19, 21:03 3

- left & right speakers in your car -- nm - peglegpete Mar 19, 21:24 1

  - wouldn't that technically make it a mono? -- nm - mafic Mar 19, 21:12 3
    - Yep. but if I set it up for mono it doesn't sound right. I have to run a stereo signal through the one speaker. - tlw Mar 19, 21:14 2

    - Not specifically this because the gift came before this but because this has been his general pattern of behavior. -- nm - Dano Mar 19, 21:08
