....dope flywires too...i love the colorway i just can't get with the one piece upper for some reason.....not saying that i wouldn't buy them if theywere a great deal tho

Larrivee -

i was thinking thesame thing, the ST's Jibby posted have that suns colorway

Thanks to all for the cleaning advice. I'll give them a going over with a sponge this weekend, and get hold of some Jason Markk too.

That's another clean pair of 180's lined up for next year. Great to see the 180 getting some love. Now all we need is for them follow the 87 onto iD.

. those bursts are one of my grails. bursts are my favorite shoe and usa is my favorite colorway, so I had to get them. in fact, since you posted your pair when you applied to the fam, I have not seen a pair for sale anywhere, in any size. funny thing is, you and I were not the only two in here eyeing those

. and those red ones like s_dubl just posted, I was thinking of getting those but they were bidsniped in the closing seconds up to $80 plus shipping. not a bad price, but they were used, no box, and half size bigger than my true size. they aren't as rare as the usa's (that's just what I call 'em), so I passed in hopes that i will find an 11 in DS for a similar price one day.

larrivee, I love home theater projects. I own a condo now so I don't really have a place to set my stuff up, but when I buy a house I am definitely going to wire up a slick system. I have a projector (just need to replace the bulb) and I will get a 7.1 system and wire through the walls/ceiling and all that. can't wait. I'm interested to see what you're doing.

That's hilarious. Ya, I was watching the white/red ones, and was going to pick em up to have another pair if they stayed a bit lower than they ended upat. The "USA's" though, I figured with 4 days left and no bids I had some time. Oh well, rather them go to someone who had been looking anddidn't have a few pairs already. ENJOY them!! They look super clean!

Please post pix of your home theatre install. My project for the winter is to finish my basement as a theatre. My speakers and such are sitting in a boxwaiting. I've got to run all the electrical and wire first, which I'm going to need some advice on. I'm going to recess cubes / boxes in thewall, along both sides, while we're building it out, with spot / pin-lights. Not telling my wife they're going to be for shoes. LOL. They'll beadaptable to display movie memorabilia or other crap as well, for when we sell.

Great stuff these last few pages. Love those grey flywire things up there. They'd be fitting for Cleveland weather today.

Flintgrey: Hope you can make it! It will be a blast, and I'm sure Kev told ya, there's a home CAVS game the night before.
Cory made it up last-time. Where's he been hiding?

good question....

more JD stuff....don't know if they are old but i've never seen 'em before on the site.

 

[jibbycanoe]

thanks for the pic Redrum. I am loving these new 180s!!!! makes me get a little sentimental..

 

[s dubl]

^^not sure, but I think the BWs are old (or at least I think I've seen pics of em before), haven't seen the STs yet.

I'm holding off on STs until I see how the mid-sole holds up after at least 5-10 wears. Hopefully while I'm waiting they'll do some price drops.

Good to see the 180s are going to get some attention next year. Hopefully I can snag a few pairs on the cheap.

 

[mayhemgatz]

...quite possible...i've been

wayyyyy too much lately....being stressed FTL

 

[denverairforce]

s_dubl - after seeing the piss yellow faux-suede on the white ST's at niketown, I'm discouraged from buying any of them that are predominantly white

Cleveland - haha for sure I will DEFINITELY sport those with pride!

as far as your wiring, are you working in an unfinished space (i.e. no drywall yet)? I'm no electrician by any means, but I found some good info in thisthread (via google): http://www.diychatroom.com/f12/wiring-unfinished-room-surround-sound-12103/

Thanks. I will check that out. I'm no electrician either, and have a friend who happens to be and is going to help me out. I'm more concerned withrunning enough power, and inputs / outputs for future expansion to the right places. It will be a learning experience, but I'm sure it will turn outnicely since I'm in no hurry. I'm going to start with a 7.1 set-up with dual subs, projector, and blu-ray, but with the way technology is by the timei finish it there may be some other new "HDMI" type connection that's become standard. That's my concern, but more so paranoia.

Ya, the bassement is bare so I get to start from scratch, and will just have to leave room to adapt / run new lines when needed.

Those 180s look pretty good, also those orange black BWs aren't bad either. Anyone know if JD will ever start shipping out of the UK?

[itsmedallas]

can someone help me out with these? I know they're legit but has anybody in here dealt with this dude before? I asked for more pics. Total will be 190. Isthis a good buy or should I just not pay?
