Good Video card bad customer service

Build or modify your own PC:Yes
Level of Expertise:Average
Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Gaming
I've had this card for about 6 months and has only been fully functional for 3. This thing just kept dropping the drivers left and right in Windows 8.1. So I called PNY tech support, I called 6 times over 3 weeks, each time it asked me to leave my info and they'd get back to me. No one called back. On the 7th try I finally got through. After 20 minuets I got sick of trying to explain what was going on to the "tech". He just kept repeating "download the latest drivers" to which I replied "I did" every time. I just gave up and figured it out myself, flakey mother board. Replaced it and away we went, everything worked perfectly. Too bad their tech support can't do more than go off a script. - 1 star for iffy tech support.
My Best Buy number: 0066443636
What's great about it: Easy to install, and will do light gaming well.
What's not so great: Customer service is almost not existant.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Add deep, low-frequency bass impact to your movies and music with Polk's PSW108. This subwoofer is powered by a high-current amplifier producing 50 watts RMS/100 watts clean, dynamic power for loud bass and a wide dynamic range necessary to recreate a life-like home theater experience. Features front-firing 10" composite polymer cone driver that adds depth to your audio tracks and provides more bass impact for your sound system. The cabinet is constructed from non-resonant MDF with internal bracing for superior bass clarity and accuracy. Features flexible inputs and controls like power-saver on/auto switch, independent volume control and a toggle phase switch on the back panel for a cohesive unit. Place the subwoofer on the same side of the room as your system's front speakers for the best performance

Polk Audio does it again!
on September 25, 2014
Posted by: Overbobb
from Redding,CA
I bought this to replace my 15 year old Polk Audio sub that just wasn't keeping up with my new front speakers. This sub did it, and did it well. I was looking to get more low end rumble for movies, not snappy bass. If you have smaller front end speakers this one may not cover it. The two subs below may have a little more snap to them. This thing however goes low and in my living room it'll rattle the walls. It paired up nicely with my Polk Monitor 70's and I am very happy with the results.
My Best Buy number: 0066443636
What's great about it: Good low rumble that fills a room.
What's not so great: Not a fan of the look, just so so.

South Park at its best!

Dude it is SOUTH PARK! If you are a fan and play video games this is a must have. The game play and controls are great, the story is just crazy, and all the characters are there. I figure that I'll be lost in Mr. Slaves nether regions by game end! That being said this is NOT a kids game. If you are planning on buying this for your 8 year old know he will be learning new and exciting words and phrases to get kicked out of school with. I almost guarantee an embarrassing parent teacher meeting! But if you are an adult and love South Park, BUY IT!

Pioneer App-Less 3 radio
on September 25, 2014
Posted by: Overbobb
from Redding,CA
After way too much research I decided to go with the Appradio 3; knowing full well the apps and screen mirroring may or may not work. After fooling around with it for hours and getting nowhere I called Pioneer. I was pleasantly surprised to find US tech support on the other end of the line! The guy on the other end was courteous and knowledgeable. In two minuets he had my problem identified, Android version 4.4.2 is not supported, yet. He said they have a firmware update in the works and should be out soon. Unfortunately for now I'll have to deal with it. Besides that everything else works flawlessly. Bluetooth works great, the sound is fantastic, and the DVD player, well, works just like a DVD player. It's still a pretty good deal without the apps, but the great tech support makes it a bargain!
My Best Buy number: 0066443636
What's great about it: Big clear 7 inch display, well designed interface, and great sound quality.
What's not so great: The apps don't work with Android Kit Kat 4.4.2.

Polk Audio does it again
on September 24, 2014
Posted by: Overbobb
from Redding,CA
Have been a fan of Polk for years, and once again they did exactly what I was hoping for. they have nice clean soft highs and good tight lows. If you are a fan of "tinny" sharp highs these probably won't do it for you. They come with a universal mounting bracket and all the parts needed for installation in a stock 6 1/2 location.
My Best Buy number: 0066443636
What's great about it: Highs have a softer tone, not so ear shattering.
What's not so great: Not a big fan of the speaker grille's look. Didn't use them so it was not a concern.

Diablo meets Call of Duty

Tons of random weapons, from the run of the mill pistol, to a rocket spewing shotgun! It is a blast just treasure hunting. The enemy AI is OK but relies heavily on out gunning you. The plot starts slow but steadily ramps up. You can customize your character's class, ability's, and power ups. definitely enough replay value to warrant buying. I have several friends on their 3 run through.
I always suggest buying new vs. used, you usually only save $5. If you watch Best Buy closely you can often save $5-$25 hitting the sales and special offers, and you'll get it new!
What's great about it: Great googly moogly thats alot of fire power! Random crazy weapons, it's like a box of chocolates! 50+ hour game.
What's not so great: Slow start..... 10-12 hrs.... AI is so so.

I have a friend who had a ex that blew her speakers

i was wondering witch speakers she need's her truck is a 2006 GMC sierra 1500 need all four speakers changed out
I have a 2007 that I just put the Polk Audio 6 1/2" speakers below in. They fit just right in the front doors. My truck should have the exact same speaker sizes as the 2006. If she has an extended cab you will have 2 4x6" speakers in the rear doors. The ones below should work beautifully in your friends truck. If you have a Best Buy nearby go in and chat up one of their installers, they can point out other options. These are just my favorites.
