banana leaf, mccarthy ranch in milpitas
- n
- neener
banana leaf used to be one of my favorite restaurants when i used to live in fremont a few years back. i remember fondly when they opened and the first time i tried their food. it was so good that my dinner companions and i wouldnt complain too much about the usual thirty minutes to an hour wait for a table.
i moved away from the area and have had only a couple chances to revisit. a few months ago, i noticed they expanded to about twice the original size, added some sake cocktails, a few extra items on the menu, some more beers and even a wine list. that particular visit, i had a visitor from overseas staying in the southbay and we ended up indulging our thirst more than our hunger.
i visited last night with the s/o. i went with a familiar spread, a spread ive gotten many times over.
wrapping up quickly, its seems inevitable. anytime a restaurant does well and goes from a small ma/pa run type establishment to a eatery, the quality goes down.
first came out the roti prata and chicken satay. these were great. actually, the chicken satay was better than great, however thats where the quality i was used to from banana leaf stopped.
the rest of the meal, pineapple fried rice, asam seabass, mango prawns and pad thai came quickly after. every dish by itself was good. im sure if i wasnt so biased because of earilier visits, i would be singing the praise of the food, but i am biased by the wonderful food they had.
i guess it just cant be helped, with expansion comes shortcuts.
on the way home, i had this slight "coating" in my throat. msg. i never "felt" msg there before.
that all said and down, i would still visit again and would still recommend to anyone.
- The original comment has been removed
I admit I haven't been to Banana Leaf all that much. We used to go a little bit when they were pre-expansion, but after having Layang Layang with unusual frequency lately, we decided to check back here recently to see how it stacked up.
I'm a visual person, so what I've done is attach pairs of photos to accompany my critiques. First photo is from Banana Leaf, second is the identical dish from Layang Layang for comparison. Though looks don't tell all, it does say a lot to put them side by side.
Roti Canai (1, 2) - This was a pretty close match. I'd give the nod to Layang for being more airy and crispy and having a richer, more aromatic dipping curry, but Banana Leaf's version was pretty comparable. I peeked at their kitchen and found one cook solely responsible for preparing roti - pretty neat for a relatively small place.
Hainan Chicken (3, 4) - I'm not a fan of either rendition (both use conventional American chicken versus yellow/free range chicken), but Layang's chicken was the better of the two. Banana Leaf's visually looked pretty unappetizing and was about as poor in actuality.
Beef Rendang (5, 6) - Banana Leaf's version didn't match up. The beef stew was mostly mash, wasn't as tender and the curry sauce itself felt watered down and less redolent. Layang's isn't the best I've had but at least a competent rendition - thicker curry, more prevalent spices (star anise, cinnamon) and ample chunks of fairly tender beef stew. The best version I've had locally is at the now shuttered Singapore Old Town Cafe where they used a very tender flat-cut beef brisket similar to that you'd find served with clear soup in HK.
Chow Kway Teow (7, 8) - Banana Leaf's version was one of the worst renditions I've had of this. The noodles were soggy/overcooked, included celery (an odd addition), lacked sufficient ingredients (egg, protein) and lacked shrimp paste. Taken as a whole, it was just a mess compared to Layang's better-executed version that appropriately includes lap cheung, al dente noodles and occasionally, a hint of wok hay.
Overall, I'd say this. Banana Leaf isn't "bad" per se, but at least based on these standard dishes, it doesn't match up to its competition that's 5 minutes away.0

Saturday, November 30, 2002ATLANTA, Ga. (November 30, 2002) -- East Tennessee State's women's basketball team went on a run late in the second half, but Arkansas State hit some key three-point baskets and converted on its free throws down the stretch as the Lady Indians defeated ETSU 63-48 in the consolation game of the Atlanta Marriott NW Classic Saturday afternoon at Alexander Memorial Coliseum in Atlanta, Ga. Arkansas State (2-2) once led by as many as 17 points in the second half, but the Buccaneers (1-4) finally caught some breaks that would allow them to get within 10. However, ETSU got itself in some foul trouble about midway through the frame, putting the Lady Indians at the free throw line. The opponents came through in the clutch hitting 8-of-9 (88.9%) shots from the charity stripe in the second half and finished the game 73.7% from the line. On the offensive end it was another bad shooting day for the Lady Bucs, who shot just over 30 % from the field. Junior guard Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) was only 4-of-15 from the field, but led the team with 11 points and a career-high 11 rebounds, as ETSU barely edged Arkansas State in the rebounding category 50-48. Junior Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) added 10 points and eight rebounds, while sophomore Tiffani Mayes grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds. Arkansas State was led by point guard Casie Lowman's 18-point effort, while All-American candidate Jolie McKeirnan pitched in 12 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Rachel Porter and Amber Abraham scored 10 points each. East Tennessee State leaves Atlanta today for Murfreesboro, Tenn., for Monday night's game versus Middle Tennessee State. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. (CST).

http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot2s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot2l.jpg)Has there ever been a more influential Sci-fi film than Forbidden Planet? Probably not. Star Wars was undoubtedly inspired at least in part by Forbidden Planet; same goes for Star Trek. Every aspect of it has inspired so many films from its electronic score to it futuristic terminology. Speilberg, Cameron, Lucas, Carpenter and Ridley Scott all claim it as an inspiration. The impact Forbidden Planet had on genre film, even beyond sci-fi, cannot be overstated. Though rarely counted among cinematic greats like Citizen Kane, it certainly earns its place among those films. If your only experience with Forbidden Planet is seeing clips of it in John Carpenters Halloween, you really owe it to yourself to check out this sci-fi masterpiece.
The Story
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot7s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot7l.jpg)United Planets Cruiser C-57D, under the command of J.J. Adams (Leslie Nielsen), arrives at the forth planet of main sequence star Altair to investigate the disappearance of the ship Belerephon twenty years prior and search for survivors, if any. When they enter orbit around Altair-4, they are contacted by Dr. Morbius (Walter Pidgeon), the Belerephons philologist, who cryptically warns them away from landing on Altair-4.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot12s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot12l.jpg)They ignore his warnings and land anyways, where they are immediately greeted by electronic servant Robby the Robot (voiced by Marvin Miller) who takes them to the home of Dr. Morbius. Over a pleasant lunch they find that, although Morbius is comfortable and safe, a nebulous creature destroyed the rest of the Belerephons crew. They also learn that Morbius has a daughter: the nubile, yet naïve, Alta (Anne Francis). The horny crewmen waste no time lusting after the pretty young girl.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot6s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot6l.jpg)Morbius reveals that he has been studying the original inhabitants of Altair-4, an extinct race called the Krell. The Krell were a race of super intelligent, technologically advanced, benevolent, possibly diamond shaped beings. They had unlocked the secrets of tapping their full potential intelligence, a seemingly limitless energy source, and were working on a way to free themselves from dependence on physical instruments. In doing so they unleashed a creature that destroyed the Krell and most of their civilization, murdered the crew of the Belerephon and is stalking Commander Adams and his men.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot4s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot4l.jpg)Its no coincidence that the plot of Forbidden Planet resembles so many films that came after. Though not a huge hit when initially released, it connected with the right audience. The result? You dont have to look too far to see Forbidden Planets fingerprints all over modern cinema. It coined the term blaster, a term George Lucas popularized with Star Wars. Hyperdrive, the standard nomenclature for faster than light travel, originated here. Star Treks transporter technology was predated by Forbidden Planet. Altas appearance in the plastic educator was also co-opted by Lucas for use in Star Wars. Its this pervasive influence that helps keep it fresh since so many familiar elements have been recycled for so many contemporary films.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot8s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot8l.jpg)Theres also a plausibility to some of the smaller details that has helped it age well. For its time, it has a surprisingly realistic timetable for space exploration, stating that it took until the end of the 21st century for man to reach the moon and until 2200 before manned missions to other planets were possible. Adams orders to his crew also sound surprisingly plausible the techno babble in Forbidden Planet is surprisingly solid. In an era when sci-fi films were ridiculously and quaintly optimistic, Forbidden Planet seems a lot more cautious about mans ability to reach beyond the Earth. That attitude is indicative of the films overall themes: although humanity may one day overcome its weaker nature, it still has a long way to go.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot10s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot10l.jpg)Forbidden Planet plays like a story from Amazing Science Fiction come to life, brainy, fascinated with the minutiae of life in the future. It is sci-fi from a different time, when the genre was still about ideas and human truths, rather than space dogfights and malevolent aliens made primarily of teeth. Robby adheres to at least one of Asimovs three laws of robotics as established in 1942, an important foundation for modern concepts of the ethics of artificial intelligence, at a time when no-budget drive in fodder like Teenagers from Outer Space made up the lions share of the American sci-if cinema.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot11s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot11l.jpg)What remains exceptional about Forbidden Planet is how it doesnt rely on monsters, but on story to engage the viewer. The appearance of the long extinct Krell is hinted at by their unique architecture but never revealed and even the id that appears (courtesy animators on loan from Disney) still remains nebulous enough that Forbidden Planet never seems sensationalistic. The idea that man darker nature is his one true enemy is provocative and if it seems a bit tired to todays audiences its only because it employs outdated Freudian terminology and because of the all the knock offs and homages that have employed the same idea.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot5s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot5l.jpg)For a studio film of the 1950s, Forbidden Planet is surprisingly frank when dealing with sexuality. The hornball crewmembers waste no time letching after the nubile Alta, even if they have to talk around their intentions with Hayes-approved language. Whiel Alta is clearly not swimming naked, I was still surprised that they went to great lengths to make it seem like she was by having her wear a nude body stocking.
The typical seams youd expect from a film this age show through from time to time; when Alta summons the tiger, the edges of the travelling matte are clearly visible. Even with those technical flaws apparent, Forbidden Planet still holds up amazingly well. Once you get used to the aesthetic its easy to forgive the shortcomings in the special effects. It was expensive and elaborately produced in its day and the money spent in its production has helped it age far better than other films of the era. The only sci-fi film from the 50s that looks better is George Pals War of the Worlds.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot1s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot1l.jpg)Forbidden Planet is ambitious and tackles serious subject matter for a genre that was ghettoized at the time as kids fodder and, if I have to find reasons to complain about Forbidden Planet, they mainly deal with how humour is handled. Pidgeon and Nielsen are so stoic and straight-faced that their seriousness threatens to get in the way of the audiences enjoyment. All their scenes are consistently downers. Conversely, the comic relief poon-hound and cook characters are so over the top that they just emphasize how deadly serious the rest of the film is. Forbidden Planet would have been a stronger film and more fun to watch had the humour been balanced better throughout the entire picture. Still, thats carping for the sake of doing so. Forbidden Planet is fantastic: entertaining, wide-eyed, cerebral and beautiful to behold. Its not surprising that so many influential directors point to it as the nexus point of their inspirations.
Image Quality
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot13s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot13l.jpg)Forbidden Planet was the first sci-fi film shot in Cinemascope. Its presented here in a slight narrower aspect of 2.40. Not sure why the decision was made to change the aspect; other Cinemascope films, like Ben-Hur, have been presented on DVD in their true 2.55 aspect. That niggling complaint aside, Forbidden Planet looks astounding on Blu-ray. Although colours are a bit muted, thats due to the process used in developing the original negative and not a flaw in the transfer. Forbidden Planet was shot on Kodak film stock and processed by Technicolor, a process referred to as Eastman Colour. This resulted in a slightly more muted colour palette than was typical of true Technicolor films of the era. That look has been accurately recreated here. The downside with transferring these old films to high def is that the seams around the edges show through much clearer. Matte paintings are very clearly paintings and the lines where they meet the set, or the composited live action footage, are easy to spot. Thats to be expected from a film this old, but it still may be jarring for some. On the other hand, the expected print flaws from the optical compositing are almost entirely absent. This is an amazingly clean looking film that was probably given a loving digital restoration.
Another minor complaint: the original theatrical mono track isnt included. With the extensive supplemental package, it was an understandable omission on the HD DVD but considering that the Blu-ray use little more than half of its possible 50 GB of data, its unforgivable. Still, the DTS-HD 5.1 track is one of the best remixes of a classic film soundtrack Ive ever heard. They must have gone back to the original sound stems and created the mix from those: this track displays none of the canned artificiality of remix tracks that use new or recreated sound effects. Hearing the otherworldly music in 5.1 surround is a trip.
Supplemental Material
Warner has a long history of lavishing their classic gems with the full-on, five-star home video editions and while the royal treatment is most often reserved for the more respectable films in their stable, the supplemental package they have put together for Forbidden Planet is a veritable embarrassment of riches.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot34s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot34l.jpg)The most notable supplement is the feature film The Invisible Boy (1:29:29) featuring Robby the Robot. Forbidden Planet was an expensive film that didnt do well enough to justify a lavish follow up, but the character of Robby was popular enough with kids that the studio shoehorned him into a childrens cheapie. Its not a very good movie, it eschews Forbidden Planets brainy thrills in favour of a heavy-handed anti-war message, but its inclusion for the sake of completion is admirable. Its been nicely restored although unlike the main feature its presented in standard definition.
Also featuring Robby the Robot is an episode of The Thin Man entitled Robot Client (25:35). Im not familiar with the show, but if this episode is typical of the series then what a weird show it was. In it, the Thin Man (Peter Lawford) who is a detective, I suppose, and his girl Friday, Nora (Phyllis Kirk), travel to a physicists estate where the physicists robot is running afoul of the physicists assistant. Strange.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot33s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot33l.jpg)Watch the Skies!: Science Fiction, the 1950s and Us (55:31) is an original TCM documentary, narrated by Mark Hamil. Featuring genre luminaries George Lucas, Steven Speilberg, James Cameron and Ridley Scott, its a discussion of the themes that occupied sci-fi films in the communist scared America of the 50s. A lot of the academic discussion is of the no shit variety but its amusing to hear these directors recount their experiences with the films that shaped their own cinematic sensibilities. Spiced with a lot of clips from classic (and not-so-classic) films, this documentary is a lot of fun, if not terribly illuminating.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot30s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot30l.jpg)Amazing! Exploring the Far Reaches of Forbidden Planet (26:35) looks behind the scenes, from the writing process- the concept was a sci-fi version of Shakespeares The Tempest. Along with the surviving stars of the film, genre greats like John Carpenter, Joe Dante, John Landis, Dennis Muren, John Dykstra and novelist Alan Dean Foster narrate the story behind the making of the film, all the while offering their own little insights and anecdotes. They do a good job of keeping the proceedings light and breezy while still placing Forbidden Planet in its proper historical context.
Robby the Robot: Engineering a Sci-Fi Icon (13:45) is exactly what the title suggests: a documentary about the challenges faced by the team tasked with bringing the character of Robby to life on the big screen. Its really amazing how much affection people have for Robby; hes as much an icon as R2-D2 would be a generation later. I hate to say it, but Ive always thought Robby looked kind of stupid and impractical.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot31s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot31l.jpg)A collection of Deleted Scenes (13:14) are presented in unfinished work print form. A series of title card place the scenes in context, which are comprised mainly of couple of true deleted scene, unfinished effects shots and alternate takes. Although interesting, theyre pretty tough to watch. Even by work print standards theyre in poor shape, which is perfectly understandable given the age of the elements. Despite the shortcoming of their presentation their inclusion will please completionists. The best is watching Robby with location sound: he sounds like a PA shouting into a bullhorn. Which he probably was.
Lost Footage (9:22) is a collection of camera and effects tests. This is actually a really fun feature. Though the transporter ray tests are no great shakes, theres something really majestic and beautiful about the test shots of Altair-4 moving through space. Intertitles put the clips in context and the silent footage is accompanied by some of the films eerie electronic score.
Two clips from the MGM Parade TV series, Episode 27 (2:17) and Episode 28 (3:59) are included. These are promotional pieces very characteristic of the era. Walter Pidgeon introduces clips from the film. Not informative in any way, but Ive always found these vintage promotional pieces fascinating. Its amazing that they could have made an entire television series out of what are essentially commercials. I guess people were hard up for things to watch in the early years of television.
Rounding out this packed collection of features are trailers for Forbidden Planet (3:41) and The Invisible Boy (2:31). Both are presented into in their respective theatrical aspect ratios and include all the solemnly intoning narration and antique fonts that youd expect from ad materials from this era.
Final Thoughts
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot3s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/forbiddenp/forbiddenp_shot3l.jpg)There is no way you can possibly understate the importance of Forbidden Planet and Warners Blu-ray is exemplary in just about every way possible, from fantastic audio and video quality to an extraordinary collection of supplemental material. If youre new to the sci-fi films of the 1950s and would like to see where the groundwork for modern films in the genre was laid, taking a trip to the Forbidden Planet would be a great place to start.

The Image Quality paragraph is a copy and paste of the last paragraph in The Story body. There is no mention of the picture quality.
Fixed. When I was proofing it I was looking at the start of each paragraph and since both started with "Forbidden Planet" the error just slipped through the cracks.
Sir Peot
Forbidden Planet was filmed in Cinemascope 55 not Cinemascope.
It was also in 4 track magnetic stereo in selected cities, Perspecta Stereo in most others and in mono in the smaller theaters.
I have in my collection a 35 mm Cinemascope 55 anamorphic 4 track print, a 35 mm Cinemascope 55 anamorphic Perspecta Stereo sound print, a 35 mm Cinemascope 55 mono sound print, a 16 mm Cinemascope mono sound print and an 8 mm standard silent selected scenes print as well as every tape, laser disk variation (laser, capacitive, dvd, HD dvd, BD). I think I'm in a position to be somewhat an authority on it.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Jo Greene You put some good bass in your car, but now your speakers just aren't hanging with your subs. Kicker designed their KS Series component speaker systems to deliver the performance you need to bring that "live music" experience to your ride. The KS6.2 component system features heavy-duty 6-1/2" polypropylene woofers supported by Santoprene rubber surrounds. These speakers can handle high-level playback without straining, especially when they're powered by an outboard amplifier. Titanium 1" dome tweeters broadcast plenty of high-frequency sparkle, so you'll hear all the sonic details that make your tunes exciting. External crossovers direct the right frequencies to the tweeters and woofers for optimized performance, so you'll hear detailed, natural sound. Power these components with a nice amp, and you'll hear how these quality component speakers make your music more immediate and real. Product Highlights:component speaker system includes two 6-1/2" woofers, 2 tweeters, and 2 crossoverspolypropylene woofers with Santoprene™ surrounds1" titanium dome tweetersflush-, angled- and surface-mount cups2-way external crossover network (12 dB/octave, 4,000 Hz high- and low-pass)power range: 6-75 watts RMS (150 watts peak power)frequency response: 35-21,000 Hzsensitivity: 88 dBwoofer top-mount depth: 1-15/16"warranty: 1 yearOur 60-day money-back guarantee Why install component speakers? A component speaker system gives you the best possible performance from your car audio system. A system consists of separate woofers, tweeters, and crossovers, each designed to cover one specific range of frequencies. As separate components, the woofer can move freely to deliver more powerful performance, while the tweeter can be custom-mounted in a better spot up closer to your ears, revealing a whole new world of detail. Separate crossovers are far superior to the simple filters wired into full-range speakers, so the components work together for smoother, more focused sound.

About a year ago I had them hooked up to a Rockford amp 40x4 and it made them sound 10 times better they hit the highs and midds good and clean, clear and they do good on the bass for the size . I love them kicker is a good comp. to get your speakers from. I would buy a 2nd set if they would fit in my truck Pros: mids highs bass(for their size ) clean clear sound Cons: none that have found in 8 or 9 years Was this review helpful? Yes No Kicker KS6.2 Written By chevy, Hillsboro,ohio on Sunday, July 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This component set is great for the price. The kit is absolutely amazing fairly easy to install. Was this review helpful? Yes No Lacking bass Written By griz, Erie, PA on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I am not a kid anymore... I heard that the bass was not that great... I thought it HAD to be better than stock speakers... WRONG... Mids and highs great.. Lows are missing! Pros: Installed in 2013 ford fusion. Fit well with minor mods. Cons: no bass! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Bad Written By johnG, Charlottesville, VA on Saturday, January 12, 2013 I figured since at the time these were the most expensive ones I'd be able to count on them, but I was wrong. I've had them about 4-5 months and the ones in the back are making a nice humming noise. I even used the amp recommended by Crutchfield. I spent somewhere around 1100 in car audio equipment from Crutchfield in the belief that I was getting quality part. I also had to pay another 1000 to have in professional install. Pros: Decent sound Cons: Break easily Crutchfield response on Tuesday, January 22, 2013 We forwarded this review to our Technical Support team for follow-up. Lifetime tech support comes with every Crutchfield purchase. 1 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No What can i say Written By Mustang Dan, dracut mass on Wednesday, July 04, 2012 I have ran JL and boston all my life i got a great deal on the kicker ks so i went for it and they are great they have clean sound and i have them a jl 75 x 4 rms amp powering them and i cant get them to blow up anyone who writes a review saying they cant take it just didnt put them in rite as ez as that and they are ment not to have bass the are mid and hi speaker Pros: clean sound take a beating and great for the $$$ Cons: none 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good sound Written By blowtrees, Detroit, MI on Wednesday, May 23, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) wired these to a sound ordnance amp and theyre pretty loud, the tweeters sound great. had to put the crossover on the outside of the door panel because of its size but it looks pretty cool so i dont mind it. the only bad thing i can say is that theres not much bass, but thats what the subs are for. nice speakers overall Pros: sounds great and looks great Cons: little bass 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Good speakers Written By ZakK, Asheville, NC on Sunday, March 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers are pretty good. Im running them off a 75 watt amp and a kenwood head unit. The mids and highs are great, but there is very little bass. And according to crutchfield they are 6.5" speakers but they're not they're actually just 6". If you don't believe me just look on the kicker website. Also they havn't been very durable I'm on my 3rd set right now this year and I don't play thm very loud. Pros: Mids, highs, Design Cons: Bass, durability, size Crutchfield response on Monday, March 12, 2012 Crutchfield and Kicker use different methods of measuring speakers. What we refer to as a 6-1/2" speaker, Kicker refers to as a 6". To determine which speakers fit your vehicle, please identify your vehicle. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No they can take a beating Written By dustinp, upton, ma on Wednesday, February 29, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought 2 pair of these components for a 2003 gmc crewcab. i installed these before my head unit and amps. very disappointed at first. the sound quality was awful running of the stock head unit. installed a jvc nav and an amp. the sound quality improved greatly, but still not thoroughly impressed. the lows are meh... kicker prob assumes that if you bought kickers, you plan on running a component sub. the highs and mids are good, but do not compare to some of the kenwoods and infinitys that i've owned. i will say that they are extremely loud and durable. pushing far more power from my alpine amp than these speakers are rated for. still yet to blow them despite my efforts Pros: durability Cons: the sound quality is less than dazzling 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great sounding speakers! Written By KevinH, Worcester, MA on Monday, February 20, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome sound, and like a lot of persons I mounted the tweeters with the woofers for ease of installation. Only hard thing was mounting the crossover inside the door, I'd be tempted to put same somewhere else if I did this again, it seems like a funny place to put this IMHO. But the speakers perform flawlessly, I'd recommend these any day! Pros: Fits my application perfectly, sounds awesome, speakers install easily. Cons: Crossover can be hard to install inside the door, use your own judgement as to where to place these in your car... 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No They are good, but can't be a little better Written By Manuel, APO Kadena, Okinawa on Sunday, January 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This component speakers are good, but not great! I got them mainly for their highs (sonic) and they are pretty decent, but not what I was looking for. I opted to mount the tweeters on the woofers themselves to save space and installing time and it was great. The thing is that since the speakers are at ankle to knee high the sound is not as crisp when it reaches your ears. Maybe this can be fixed if one opt to instal the tweeters at shoulder to neck height. Ah I also want to add that the amp that I'm using only outs out 65 watts RMS and this can handle 75 so maybe that could be a factor, but to tell you the truth I don't think 10 watts will make a world of difference Pros: Great price, easy installation, tweeter installation option on woofer. Cons: not enough highs or highs distribution Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Sound! Written By Anonymous, Colorado Springs, CO on Wednesday, September 07, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these on sale along with the 5.25" version for a 1998 Jeep XJ Cherokee. Powered by an Alpine KPT-445 they play clean and clear at any volume level. The tweeters are not harsh and the woofers provide great midrange. Have them crossed over at the head unit at 80Hz. Install was super simple in the stock front door location by installing the tweeter in the center of the woofer like a co-axial speaker. Most component speakers require custom mounting holes for the tweeters, but these have the additional option of mounting the tweeter in the center while utilizing the factory door panels. The factory speaker grills in the doors don't quite clear the tweeter, so they push the grill out just barely. The tweeters could have been mounted separate, but this kept the installation simple and still provides good sound imaging having the tweeter close to the woofer. The woofer installation required new holes be drilled in the door, but the overall opening and mounting depth accepted the speaker just fine easily clearing the window mechanism. The crossovers mounted easily in the door between the window and the door panel. Crutchfield even provides factory harness adapters so none of the factory wiring had to be permanently modified. I can definitely recommend these to others and the support from Crutchfield has been fantastic. 5 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Incredible value! Written By SpinDoctor15, Washington, D.C. area on Monday, August 29, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These components are AMAZING. I outift my 2005 Honda Accord with KS6.2's in the front door and KS69's in the rear deck above the trunk. I decided to leave the head unit stock, to simplify my upgrades. The combination of speakers is simply incredible. My factory speakers sounded muddled and washed out. These Kicker components and rears catch ALL the details, and push out sound like there's no end to it! If you want sound clarity/accuracy, detail, warmth or richness, and power, look no further. Simply comparing the magnet sizes (and overall weight) of the Kicker speakers with the stock [cheap] speakers is enough to know that you're going to be in for some seriously great music! I highly recommend these high-quality and excellent-sounding speakers for any application. Have no fear, your system WILL sound awesome. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice tight sound Written By Allen, CT on Saturday, August 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchased these to replace the stock door and dash speakers in a 1997 Honda Accord. Excellent sound and a good fit. Pulled the dash "tweeters" and with a few modifications with a Dremel to the stock dash mounts, they look 100% stock. The crossovers are a bit large but stashed them in the console without major issues. The sound is very clean; excellent mid-range and highs using only the head unit built in amp (Kenwood KDC-BT848). The crossover has a 3 position selector switch to tweak the tweeter levels (volume), currently set on 3 (highest) but will likely change to 2 since the sound is just a tad bright even with the head unit EQ set with no treble boost. Not a significant bass presence but that's not what I am using them for. I would not recommend these if you are looking at these as a full-range system expecting a lot of bass- that's not what these are designed for. Great mid-punch and clean highs. Would happily buy again. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Real Good!! Written By Shawn, Burlington, VT on Saturday, August 20, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent speakers! I paired these with a Boston Acoustic-5750 5 channel amp, and a head unit with an iPod hookup and ended up with the best sounding ever!! These speakers are powerful enough to be subs alone, but with a sub, WOW! The only tricky part of the install was mounting the cross-overs in the door panels, do some measuring before hand with cardboard mock-ups and there will be no problems. Also, buy the speaker baffles, much worth it. The tweeters look very-sharp when mounted flush. I would highly recommend these speakers! 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic! Written By G, Grand Blanc, MI on Tuesday, August 16, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought these to replace my old door speakers in my truck and i am extremely satisfied with these speakers! Suprisingly great value! 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Kicker KS6.2 Written By Brad, Kernersville, NC on Thursday, August 04, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had these speakers installed in my g35 coupe and I am very pleased with how they sound. I have a 60 watt kenwood amp powering them, and they are extremely loud. They have excellent tone at high volume, and are very crisp and clear. They provide great Mids and Highs, and surprisingly good bass at the higher frequency that the subs can't always hit. For the price I believe these are the best components on the market. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Seperates Written By Jamie, Honolulou, HI on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I would highly recommend these speakers to all. I have been in the car audio game for more than 20yrs and I am absolutely blown away with the design of these speakers. They have a very flexible design to mount the speakers just about anywhere and for any application. I installed these in the Kick panels of My 1987 Monte Carlo SS and have these powered by the alpine 445 with 40 RMS and sound great. They sound very crisp and clear. I have owned many pairs of Mids and Highs in my day from Boston to Focal and would rate these at the top because of the price. You get more bang for your buck. As always Crutchfield is my one stop shop for all my audio needs. 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Epic Sound Written By LBGreenthumb, VA on Friday, July 22, 2011 Lets start by saying these speakers were replacing a pair of polk audio 5 1/4" db speakers in the front doors of my car. All I can say is wow, the kicker speakers blew me away, the highs are crisp and you can set the crossover level to suit your taste, solid mids, the lows arn't the greatest, but thats why I have a subwoofer. I have the crossover set to 60hz on my amp which seems to be a sweet spot on these speakers. I should note these speakers are being powered by an alpine amp pushing 90w per channel at 4ohms, so the kickers are at their full glory, they are still in the "break in" period, I have cranked them up but only for short amount of time. These were my first kicker speakers, but they wont be the last. Just buy them, you will love them. 7 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I don't know if I would have enjoyed this tale more of the serious Trauma doctor Ali ,battling her feelings for the hot and ripped firer fighter Beau, although not very hard if it wasn't was read by somebody who sounded like she was reading from a cook book her rhythm is of and with this kind of novel you need that ,granted this is not a a classic by any means but it didn't deserve this .It could have been so much better with a better narrator .
The narrator was awful. Story was good and interesting. Prefer someone else reading it allowed. Hopefully there is a new narrator for future books.

The story revolves around a senior resident doctor who gets swept off her feet by a butch firefighter with a saucy attitude. I imagine Trauma Alert might've been a juicy day dream back when Radclyffe was making her rounds.
"Definitely recommend this one!"
I would, and have! Like 5 times! I find that every time i have listened to it i get things out of it that I missed the previous times! Good story line. I would love to see this as a movie!
Probably Dr. Torveau...
Aside from some unnecessary assertions by Beau Cross and her need to relieve her tension quite often, I enjoyed this book. It's easy to listen to. Good narration.
"Radclyffe has done it again!"
If you have a medical background and are a lesbian, you'll love Trauma Alert! Believe me, after reading this book, as well as her others that are based out of the Pa, you'll wish you could work in this hospital and become part of the family.
""Awesome Story""
Yes, because it is a wonderful story and I think people would really enjoy it.
She did an awesome job with the voices of the characters. When switching from one character to another she did a good job making each voice unique.
Trauma Alert was a very good book to listen to it keep me interested throughout the book. It had moments when I was laughing out loud at work because the funny moments were funny. It had times when it keep me on my toes because when it happened it happened. I can't wait for the 2nd book to come out and I hope it does soon.
"Kind of a disappointment"
Not what I was expecting after the Justice series. The novel felt thrown together and at moments, really cheesy.
The narration was just terrible! It made it hard to get into the book.
"I enjoyed the story a lot"
Yes. It was great. I loved it.
The crazy guy in the hospital scene.
I loved the book it is worth a listen.
"Narrator very disappointing after Honor Bound"
The woman narrating this book is very distracting to the story as she is not able to change her voice enough to give each character a distinct identity - it really takes away from the book.
"Not for me"
It just wasnt what i was looking for in a story.
I was very disappointed in the book description. Can't believe I wasted a credit.
"Follows on from 'Turn Back Time'"
This story follows on in a small way to 'Turn Back Time' and although I enjoyed it I did pick up a couple of small continuity errors which did spoil it somewhat. To my mind if I picked up on them, then really the editor should have noticed as well. However, another good story overall from the author and well read by the narrator.
"I like read the books because you read over."
Yes and on because I like the both of them.
It was set in hospital ,
I would like a it she was not out in a rush sometimes.
I like the same name has the book because the book this very good .
I think any Radcliffe book should be audible because is a very good write .
"absolutely enchanting"
absolutely heart stopping
Heart Block...they both showed 2 females deeply in love but afraid to express it. in the end love did prevailed even though Heart Block was more touching than this.
my favorite scene was when Ali went to the bar and saw the girl all over Beau and got jealous. it was really amazing how fast she gladly placed ownership on Beau.
yes, when Beau told Ali that she was in love with her and Ali told her that she only wanted her for her body.

First Aid Kit is a Swedish folk duo composed of sisters Johanna (b. 1990) and Klara (b. 1993) Söderberg, whose close vocal harmonies and woodsy, folk-influenced songwriting take influence from the likes of Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom. Hailing from Enskede, a southern suburb of Stockholm, the teenaged siblings began composing songs in 2007. Their 2008 YouTube video cover of the song "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" by the Fleet Foxes spread their name rapidly on the Internet, the sisters subsequently appeared alongside Fleet Foxes performing the song in a concert in Holland.
