    Absolutely, they do! That's one of the best upgrades you can do, too.

      My first piece of gear was a Pioneer receiver, probably 1979 or 1980.I sunk $400.00 into it, it was used.The analog am/fm glowed orange.Pretty damn cool.The face was silver and the all the knobs were faceted.It weighed a ton. I couldn't afford any speaker, so I would just roll the tuning dial back and forth centering on radio stations until I got some speakers

      In wood shop (I was in eleventh grade) I made boxes for a pair of 6x9 car speakers, sealed of course.The boxes were probably12"Wx7"Tx15"(deep).I made triangle wooden pieces that got screwed to the sides to angle them up from the floor.

      My dad was so pissed off that I spent the $400.00 . That pioneer lasted me about five years.
      Here is my LCR "Trio". Way to go guys !

        Breaking with modern conventions - a highly musical 2-way system using an 8" woofer
        by theSven
        By Jon Hancock

        This article will describe the fruits of my efforts to build a moderate sized speaker which might be moderately above average in performance for a basic two-way system. I desired a speaker like this both for my own use in secondary systems, and to fill a need for some friends, who desired fairly full range response (i.e., “it’s gotta have good bass”). Also, though I have access to a good wood shop, many potential DIY enthusiasts may not, so I hoped to use a modified...

        Active controlled BR-system
        by b_force
        Introduction
        Sometimes you want to use your favourite driver or have to use a specific driver in a design, but unfortunately the BR pipe is way to long.
        You can use a smaller pipe diameter, however that limits the max SPL (because of the air velocity) and would be a sin for a driver with...

        backing up system file in XP
        by Andrew Pratt
        NEWS from UGeek.com
        In Windows XP there's a file called SYSTEM in the %SYSTEMROOT%SYSTEM32CONFIG directory. On my system it was about 3.5 MB. Apparently it is quite essential to Windows XP operations. WinXP kept booting up saying it was corrupt and that I should repair it with my WinXP disk....
