// The Sound of Horrible Sound

Calling all fans of the song Vindicated by Dashboard Confessional. Please go to this link and help me out with my musical question! I'm trying to figure out what the song's meaning is... anyhoo, on to today's topic.

I think I mentioned this in a previous post, but I purchased some new speakers for my car! Yay! New stereo sound for FJ! So today was the day I went over to Joel's to install them.

First of all, I just wanted to say this about Joel... The guy is flippin' incredible! He is an absolute car wizard with almost everything! Mechanics, electrical, you name it. These are just cars too! Don't forget the guy helped me pass Math at BCIT... I mean, the guy is just absolutely amazing! I never realized it until today, but I'm sure he could practically do almost anything! He helps out with technical stuff at the church, is an awesome computer guy, and he is even good at video games! Athletic? Hells yea! I just wanted to brag about Joel because the guy is incredible, and he truly has a heart for gold. Bill is just as good, and it's a pleasure to be around them together! How many times have I asked him for help and he's always been there for me. Joel man, if you read this, I just wanted to say thanks for everything man.

Back to the main topic! We automatically started prying the side panels off the front doors, however, discovering some major problems. The knob for the window was in the way and it seemed almost impossible for Bill or Joel to get it off! They tried and tried and tried to get the damn panel off, but no luck! It was horrible! Joel just barely got one of the speakers out so we decided to deem it impossible, and just installed the two speakers in the back! It was incredibly frustrating because that damn window knob was screwing everything up! Anyhoo, as I said before, the two speakers were installed in the back, and I was on my way to starting the revival of my stereo system!

On the way home... I noticed something terribly wrong about the speakers. What was that you ask? THEY SOUNDED HORRIBLE! I couldn't believe the quality!! It was like an old AM radio! Absolutely no bass and very fuzzy! Wow...That just destroyed my day! Literally crushing my hopes and dreams for a better sound system! I don't even know what's wrong with the speakers! Are they faulty speakers? Or are they just really crappy speakers? How can that be? I payed $90 for them! Bah!!! It was a horrible day in speaker land...

The plan is to talk to Joel, see what he says, and return the speakers. This crushes the dream since I've been looking at those speakers for probably two months now! I don't really know what to think... All I know is... I'm mad!
