I do it for a living 9 to 5 then generally after hours for another 4-5 hours each night , depends on if there is any comps coming up then its 6-7 hours each night.
Then usually weekends I find some reason to be at the shed testing or doing something stereo related.
So minimum 60 hours a week I spose.

All things considered, I say 8-10 hours each day! I keep a notebook next to the bed because I always wake up with an idea I don't want to forget!

I spend WAY too much time working on my car, and/or thinking about new stuff to try. But oh well keeps me out of trouble. [Smile] Except at school, drawing box plans and designing new box internals to get louder, teachers don't love that so much. [Wink]

Get loud daily... not burping.

It's World Finals.
A certified event.
A 4x scoring event.
It's the "pinnacle" of the "sport".

If I showed up to Game 7 of the World Series and was found to have a Corked Bat in pre game warm-ups, what would happen to me? Even if I said that I 'didnt see it in the rulebook, my bad'.
