These excellente' speakers fit like a glove in the doors and on the rear deck of my 2011 Ford Mustang. They are a vast improvement in sound quality and to be honest (as I always am), I had to change the EQ setting from "Jazz" to "flat" as their reproduction of bass notes on Big Band Swing and Real Jazz is so far above the stock units that my door shook.
Highly recommended? You bet your sweet bippy!
These were installed today and while I am disappointed that the pair of Kicker 8" subs that were SUPPOSED to fit beneath these in the same two doors did not, I am thrilled beyond measure that these speakers deliver enough to keep me happy when listening to Jazz!
Did I mention that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally recommend these? Yup! I do!
But this story is not quite over as next up for the Mustang will be new amplification all 'round. Stay tuned, my friends...Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

They did not fit my 2011 Ford Mustang and this in spite of all indications here at Best Buy and elsewhere across the interwebs. They are built like a tank and from those that recommended them I have no doubt they would have sounded fantastico.
I bought two of them for the door mounts in my Mustang. They are said to be "shallow mount" subs but the installer at Best Buy took one look and said "No way are these going to fit in your Mustang. And by the way, they will fry your stock amps."
I trust his word and so I returned them today with a heavy heart. Gosh gee willies, I so looked forward to excellent bass from accoustic Jazz on these subs. I also bout Kicker 6 X 8 speakers for the front doors and rear deck on the same Mustang and they are superb!
The ONLY reason I HAD to return these on the same day they were to be installed is that they did NOT fit the car after all. Given the fanastico sound coming from the aforementioned Kickers that are now installed above the stock Ford 8" subs, I can recommend these IF they fit your vehicle.
The "poor" rating for "ease of use" is due entirely to their NOT fitting my Mustang. If I wanted to put these in one of those sub boxes (and I loath those things) I have no doubt they would please my ears but tax my eyes and trunk space, LOL!

...Doesn't follow Tolkien's book. This is a fine enough film series. I think I figured out how Peter Jackson got three films out of one skinny book: He based it on his ego.
Nothing entirely wrong with that as his Lord of The Rings extended versions were pretty durn swell themselves.
But... And everyone has a but so let's talk about Jackson's really big but: Exempli gratia: Having a "She-Elf" (that is one high-larious term) fall for a dwarf is not just stretching it, it's a ridiculous taffy-pull of a stretch too.
Dwarves bathing in a fountain isn't a stretch, it's just plain weird. And no Tom Bombadil is uforgiveable, hence the four out of five stars. That Jackson would rather have a Hitchcockian cameo and leave out Bombadil is proof of both a sense of humor and a blatant disgregard for Tolkien and his fans.
Having said that, these Blu-Rays are visuall and sonically most excellent. So then. Be excellent to each other and treat you and your family and friends to a Friday or Saturday or Sunday-if-Monday-is-a-holiday Hobbit Fest!

"My Favorite Wife" is a big favorite of mine as is "The Bachelor and the Bobbysoxer". "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse" is another "Gary Granite" (ala "The Flintstones"!) favorite of mine.
"Night and Day" is good (it's about Cole Porter) but not exactly a favorite because oddly enough I've never seen more than a few minutes of it.
Highly recommended? I also sent a set to my brother and his wonderful wife, so... Yuppers!

It is not as fast as an older i7 Windows machine and the touch screen does not work as well as several other laptops I have. I gave a 14 inch Dell touch screen laptop to my older brother and it was not as fast but at least it worked without me having to constantly reboot it.
So then. I will soon return this and look for something else. I am Elite Plus and have just over (at time of this review) to return it. I have given it enough time and I just had to force a hard boot again to get it to wake up!
Maybe it is just this laptop? I do not know and neither do I care. I have almost given up. It does it when I am listening to music, watching a movie or just smurfing the web.
Samsung? Any ideas? Any help? Anything?

Open Range [DVD] [2003]
Kevin Costner's 2003 Western Open Range comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English soundtracks are rendered in both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 5.1. Spanish subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Costner. He talks about his theories as a director, his affection for the Western genre (a type of movie that, with this film, he proves he has absorbed), and many tales about the film's production. His commentary is as earnest and heartfelt as the film itself. A second DVD is full of information on the making of the film, allowing the viewer access to almost every aspect of the process. This is a strong disc from Disney/Buena Vista that will be of particular interest to any genre enthusiast.
A really superb Western that is el fantastico!

Not gonna lie to you. Never have and never will so...Here goes!
Buy this DVD (or Blu Ray) and watch it with your husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, parents, kids, entire family, neighbors, etc.
Be prepared to be thoroughly content with your purchase and to know that this is a film you will seek out to watch every month or so. Or more. It is THAT GOOD! I gave this particular copy to my brother and his wonderful wife. Then I drove 800+ miles to watch it with them. Yes. I am a serious Cinema Viewer, LOL! They truly enjoyed the film and are more than happy to have it in the collection.
Oh yes. I own a copy too. Yuppers!
This film is HIGHLY Recommended by your humble reviewer. Well... As "humble" as I can be...LOL!

No buyer's remorse here. They look good, are comfortable, the ANC is more than sufficient for my needs and music sounds like...music!

Does my Total Tech cover me returning this TV or not? I just reset it to wipe out my streaming services. I give up. Hisense has not done squat for me. I am still a fan of Best Buy, just not this TV.

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

This Sony BDP-S6700 Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling has built-in super Wi-Fi through MIMO. This lets you stream live from online services. Built-in Bluetooth and SongPal Link stream movies and music or connect your devices through HDMI, coaxial output, USB or Ethernet. This Sony Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling also offers child lock and parental controls.
I’m getting an error message stating that the BluRay and 3D BluRay discs I’m using are not compatible. I confirmed that they are Region A so could the issue be they I’m using a regular HDMI cable?
This is not a 3D capable player so it will not work on 3D discs. While there are bandwidth concerns for some 4K cables, I don't think this is a problem with Blu Ray discs. Of course I could be wrong and I have experienced problems with some Blu Ray and standard DVD where the player identifies the disc as unreadable and classifies it as a "CD-ROM". This upsets me no end as these discs worked fine in the past. If you wish to try a cable that is rated higher then you could purchase one meant for 4K data transfer rates (and NO! A fancy cable with really pretty connectors and the like is not needed, just the bandwidth transfer specs are) and see if it works but as this is a Blu Ray player that upscales to a faux 4K, that may not do a thing for you. I hope this helps.

I don't see why not, so yes! I have heard and bought cables with different ratings but this is a Blu Ray player that can "upscale" (think "Faroudja line doubling") to 4K. My brother reports no problems so far with his and he doesn't have any special cables that I am aware of. And yes, he would tell me. So then. This is a great player and should have no problems working with a standard HDMI cable. I hope this helps!

I already have XM Radio, do I need to buy a new receiver?
You may have to have BB hook up your XM Tuner (if possible) to the unit. If that cannot be done and you want to use that feature you can purchase an XM Tuner from BB and have it connected to the device and then have SiriusXM switch your account over to the new tuner's I.D.
I have this Kenwood in my Mustang and I had them hook the XM roof antenna up with a pigtail to my portable SiriusXM player's cradle (connected to a spare input) and BAZINGA! It works great. I can also use my streaming account via my iPhone if I so choose but out n the middle of the Arizona desert I don't always have a 4G signal to stream music but I always have my SiriusXM satellite signal.

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.
This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Will it work with an apple phone
Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.
At last... I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with my stereo now that I have the Applie iPhone SE and CarPlay!
