We're a Grand Rapids, West Michigan based
concrete flooring expert specializing in concrete polishing, floor cleaning,
installation of polyurethane and epoxy floor coatings of indoor cement surfaces,
and the restoration of concrete floors for industrial, commercial, and
residential clients. For our commercial &
industrial flooring clients this usually involves manufacturing floors, chemical
containment areas, electrically sensitive area requiring conductive or ESD
(electro-static dissipative) properties, food processing areas, production
floors, warehouse floors, as well as bathroom floors, and/or break room floors
in factories. For residential flooring clients this primarily involves their
concrete garage floors. See our high quality repair work by
visiting our
commercial concrete photos and/or
residential concrete photos.
Concrete floor
coatings are special resins (most often polyurethane or epoxy) that when
properly applied create an impenetrable coating, or layer on cement
preventing the transmission of water and contaminants while at the same time
keeping the structure safe. Installation of resinous flooring is commonly used
for sealing, waterproofing, repairing, restoration and resurfacing of concrete.
Flexible polymer coatings are used on multi story and pre-cast cement
structures such as parking ramps and mechanical rooms, waterproofing the levels
below and protecting against chemicals and physical abuse. Oil, Salt and other
chemicals can cause damage to structures, especially in high traffic areas.
Resinous floor coatings can be used to prevent, reduce and repair damage in such
areas. The most common types of Resinous flooring systems include epoxy coating,
epoxy resurfacer or epoxy mortar, urethane coating, urethane mortars, polyurea,
as well as polyaspartic coating application.
By focusing on
cost-effective coating technology that protects the environment while protecting
concrete surfaces, Vanguard Concrete Coating provides users with safe, long-term
epoxy flooring & finishing protection that reduces maintenance and expenses.
polishing is the process of mechanically and chemically transforming concrete to
an attractive easy to clean finish with various levels of gloss options and
aggregate exposure. Simply put, polishing concrete is similar to sanding wood.
Heavy-duty concrete polishing machines equipped with progressively finer grits
of diamond-impregnated abrasives are used to gradually grind down surfaces to
the desired degree of shine and smoothness.
polishing begins with the use of coarse diamond segments bonded in a metallic
matrix. These segments are coarse enough to remove minor pits, blemishes,
stains, or light coatings from the floor in preparation for final smoothing. The
next steps involve fine polishing of the concrete surface using diamond
abrasives embedded in a plastic or resin matrix. Crews use ever-finer grits
until the floor has the desired sheen.
During the
polishing process an internal impregnating hardener or densifier is applied. A
concrete stain or dye can also be added. The densifier sinks into the
concrete and is invisible to the naked eye. It not only protects the concrete
from the inside out, it also hardens and densifies the concrete. This eliminates
the need for a topical coating and aids gloss retention. A concrete dye or
stain can also be added to the process to provide color concrete
standard colors for epoxy flooring are
displayed on our colors page; We offer custom epoxy paint colors,
decorative flake flooring,
decorative quartz flooring,
metallic epoxy,
river rock epoxy, and decorative logo lettering as seen on the pictures
scrolling above.
Vanguard offers
several forms of surface preparation including shot blasting, diamond grinding,
and scarification. We know that preparation is the key to great finish. Over
80% of coating failures can be attributed to improper or in sufficient prep. It
is important to provide a clean surface free of contaminants and defects with a
profile or texture.
The most common
type of polymer flooring installation is the epoxy floor. Epoxy flooring
installation can accomplished by squeegeeing the epoxy, roller epoxy
application, epoxy slurry and broadcast as well as Epoxy power Troweled
resurfacer where the epoxy is screed applied normally at 1/4 inch and a mixture
of epoxy resin and blended aggregates are combined to make an epoxy mortar which
is then finished with hand trowels and power trowels in order to resurface and
restore the concrete surface. An epoxy floor coating may be applied as thin as a
coat of paint or up to 3/8 of an inch and in areas in need of repair may be
several inches in thickness if needed. Industrial epoxy flooring installation
requires well trained applicators, specialized preparation, and working
knowledge of the proper epoxy coatings or epoxy resurfacers for the individual
application. Epoxy floor coatings may offer varying degrees of chemical
resistance, ultraviolet resistance, as well as speed of cure time and
installation thicknesses. As a general rule the faster it dries, the higher the
chemical resistance, the better the UV stability and the thicker the floor the
more it will cost. This is why it is important to understand the epoxy flooring
installation to compare on product or installation with another rather than just
picking the least expensive product or epoxy flooring installer.

Our New Shotblaster
To the far
left are buttons to our interior industrial, commercial and residential
web pages. Listed below are some direct links with flooring definitions.
Cement vs Concrete - concrete is
composed of cement (aka portland cement) water, sand and aggregates
and various admixtures to alter the concretes various properties.
Cement is what holds concrete together. While concrete is sometimes
called cement by lay people when describing their basement and
garage floors, the terms are not interchangeable.
Shotblasting - The leading
industry technique in floor surface preparation, removal, and repair
procedures in a dust free environment.
Scarification - The most common method of cementitious coating
and resurfacer removal.
Diamond Grinding - The least
aggressive form of mechanical surface prep that can be used for
cleaning and thin film coating removal.
Acid Etching - chemically etching
a cement floor in preparation for sealer or epoxy coating.
Concrete Polishing - heavy-duty
polishing machines equipped with progressively finer grits of
diamond-impregnated segments or disks are used to gradually grind
down surfaces to the desired degree of shine and smoothness.
Concrete Densifiers and Hardeners -
Sodium, potassium or lithium silicate formulation that penetrates
the concrete and reacts with calcium hydroxide formed in hydration,
filling pores in concrete and making the surface denser and less
Epoxy Flooring - epoxy resins are
thermosetting resins known for excellent surface and sub-surface
adhesion, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance.
Polyurethane Flooring -
polyurethane resins, commonly referred to as urethane, are
thermosetting or thermoplastic resins and demonstrate moderate
chemical resistance and good resistance to diluted acids and alkali.
Polyurethane resins generally offer moderate adhesion, but good
resistance to shrinkage and excellent flexibility.
Polyaspartic Flooring
- Polyaspartic is a type of polyurethane (actually a polyaspartic
aliphatic polyurea). Polyaspartic floor resins overcome many of the
short comings of other resin coatings by providing a very fast
cure, chemically resistant, UV stable coating, that can be applied
as thin as an epoxy paint or as thick as a self leveling epoxy.
Concrete Stains & Dyes - two
categories of concrete stains - reactive and nonreactive. Reactive
stains are water-based acidic solutions containing metallic salts
that react with the concrete's lime content; Concrete dyes are
Essentially penetrating color solutions. Unlike acid based stains,
they do not react chemically with concrete. Instead, they contain
very fine coloring agents that penetrate into the concrete surface.
Both water- and solvent-based dyes are available, with each type
having unique qualities.

They wore Cubs uniforms, sat in the Cubs dugout and bore an eerie resemblance to the same players who have called themselves Cubs since Opening Day.
But after watching them pound Atlanta 15-6 only one day after a 16-2 victory over Florida, it was easy to wonder whether they actually were the same Cubs who began the day ranked 12th in the league in runs scored.
The Cubs knocked out a season-high 21 hits against Braves pitching, surpassing their 20-hit output on Sunday against Florida.
Moises Alou had five RBIs, Sammy Sosa and Alex Gonzalez both homered and drove in four runs apiece and Tom Goodwin went 5-for-6, improving to .368 since June 21.
"You don't find too many times where you get this many runs against this staff, or against Florida," Goodwin said. "It's good to come out and get that many runs, but the win is the most important thing."
In records dating back to the start of divisional play in 1969, the Cubs never have had back-to-back games with 20 or more hits. They also set a record for most hits against the Braves, surpassing a 19-hit effort on May 30, 1987.
The Cubs have won three straight for the first time since June 11, moving 3½ games behind first-place Houston. They snapped the Braves five-game winning streak and dealt them their second loss in 15 games.
Sosa handed the Cubs a quick 4-0 lead with a three-run home run off Shane Reynolds in the first and an RBI single in the second. But Shawn Estes continued to look like Shawn Estes, coughing the lead away in no time at all.
After a leadoff walk to Chipper Jones in the second, Estes served up back-to-back home runs to Andruw Jones and Javy Lopez to make it 4-3. Marcus Giles tied it up with a homer leading off the third and, three batters later, Andruw Jones doubled home Chipper Jones to put the Braves on top 5-4.
Since beating Baltimore on June 10, Estes is 0-3 with four no-decisions in his last seven starts, with a 7.86 earned-run average.
Atlanta looked like it was ready to bury the Cubs when the Braves loaded the bases off Estes with no one out in the fourth. But manager Dusty Baker finally had enough of his struggling left-hander, yanking him for Dave Veres, who escaped the jam with no runs scored.
"That was huge," Baker said.
"You look back and see all the hitting, see all the offense, but you have to see the job Veres did to put us in position."
Gonzalez's two-run homer off Reynolds gave the Cubs the lead again in the fifth, and Ramon Martinez's pinch-hit sacrifice off Trey Hodges made it 7-5 after the Cubs pulled off a double steal with one out.
Alou's two-run double and an RBI single by Gonzalez in the sixth increased the lead to 10-5, and the Cubs were home free.
They continued to pour it on against the Braves bullpen, adding two runs in the seventh and three in the eighth.
"We got some big two-out hits, and made some things happen," Baker said.
"For us to come in here and outscore the Braves was a very difficult thing to do."

Average Customer Review(s):
Good mid grade speaker
I bought these speakers for my 2006 Honda Civic LX. With the mounting brackets and wiring harnesses included along with the pdf instructions included, installation was quite simple. I have never ever done any type of work on a car other than filling fluids and replacing wiper blades. The only time where I felt that the instructions were lacking were how to actually install the speakers to the brackets. But a quick YouTube search along with some guess work and they were installed in a pinch. They sound great, I'm not a sound professional, but as compared to the buzzing speakers I had, these blow any stock speakers I've heard clear out of the water. Overall I give it 5 stars, it was easy to install, they came with correct instructions and the parts needed to make them work. They sound far better than any other speakers I've owned in a car. The only con is that the installation instructions were not entirely clear at some moments, but a quick YouTube search and you should be fine. Overall great product and awesome service.
Pros: Easy to install Sound amazing
Cons: Instructions needed just a tad bit more clarity in my opinion
good replacement spreakers.
These work great. Easy installation. Great sound. Fast Delivery
Pros: Easy set up
Cons: Had to use screws from the old speaker. Screws were smaller than the original. No big deal.
These things aren't very good for bass but that's not why I bought them. I bought them to improve my mids and highs and they do just that . They're extremely clear and sound great in my 98 jeep Cherokee.
great sound
Pros: price and sound great
Cons: none
Installed 4 of these in a Tahoe, Sounded great. Pretty decent upgrade from stock...
Pros: Price
Cons: none
Purchased for factory replacement as I upgraded headed units. Simply installation. Overall sound in slightly better but nothing extremely noticeable.
Pros: Price, ease of install
Cons: Low improvements over factory.
Sound better than factory BOSE SPEAKERS
Pros: direct replacement for blown factory door speaker in 2008 Enclave with Bose system
Cons: Sound so much better than rear door speakers. Now I feel I need to replace them to balance system back out.
I'd give them zero stars but the system won't allow it. Cheap, tinny, lifeless poor excuse for speakers. Yes, I know they're cheap but c'mon - could they make them sound any worse? Suffered with them for 2 weeks and bought some better ones.
Pros: Nada
Cons: It'll cost you 2x time because you'll install them only to rip them out...
Sound great easy to install in 2008 silverado
Bought these cause they were cheap and needed something cause the car I bought had no speakers
Pros: Cheap
Cons: None
Sounds clean highs are not to raspy decent bass not to deep but nice.
Pros: Easy to install look nice with covers on sound is pretty decent happy.
Cons: Grill inserts may pop out of plastic when you are in boxing item,just be carefull and snap them back in. If you don't use them the are nice garage. Wall art??
Replace stock speakers in 2007 chev 35000. These sound better than the oem speakers by a long measure. Decent bass and decent highs too. these were a direct fit in the rear doors. I also used them in the front doors. I carefully removed the plastic brackets from the stok speakers, then attached the brackets to the new speakers with some carefully placed adhesive, probably not recommended by anyone, but it worked great and it allowed me to finish the install, even though I ordered the wrong speakers for the front door.
Pros: Affordable, sound better than GM junk.
Cons: They didn't install themselves.
Great for the price
Bought two sets of these to replace the stock speakers in my Passat. All four of my speakers were blown, so anything would sound better than them, but I wasn't expecting something this good for a price this low. Good bass and good highs without being overbearing. Love that Crutchfield includes all of the instructions and hardware to make install as easy as possible.
Pros: Price, sound, ease of install
Cons: None
These speakers are a nice replacement for the 10 year old factory speakers in my 2004 GMC Envoy. They sound great, but I guess when only 1 of the 4 factory speakers were actually working, anything would sound better. However, they where tricky getting in. The Scosche SAC-656 Speaker Mounting Brackets Crutchfield sent, in my opinion, didn't work and actually made installing the speakers more difficult and didn't use them for the front speakers. I carefully pried off the plastic support from the factory speakers, enlarged the speaker mounting holes so they would line up with factory mounting adapters holes and used the factory mounts. Also the two of the four Metra 72-4568 Speaker Wiring Harness ends weren't crimped properly and I ended up cutting off the solderless tips and soldering the wires directly to the speakers. Also, there was no information about what to do with the front factory tweeter and speaker harness. I disconnected and cut the factory harness to the front the speakers (including the tweeter?), and left in in place in case I need it in the future. Please be aware that I have been an ASE Mater Technician since 1978, was a GM Master Technician for 27 years before leaving the "cars wars" to be become a certified Automotive Technology instructor, am very particular about how I make car repairs, and it took my extensive skills and too many specialty tools top get these speakers in the way that, in my opinion, replicated the factor installation.
Pros: Nice sound
Cons: Tricky to install Nothing about how to deal with the factory front speaker harness and tweeter
Good replacement for the worn out stock speakers.
Pros: Can't beat the sound quality for the price
Only lasted 2.5 mounths on a factory system! Now they need to be replaced!
Great mids & highs but they distorted trying to get some lows out of them.
Pros: I replaced my 20 yr old factory speakers with these and I'm very happy to be able to listen to music while I drive.
Cons: They're thin and low quality but that's probably why they were on sale.
If you are looking for a less expensive replacement solution for your factory speakers this is it.
Pros: EZ Install
Cons: None at this price point
Great product for the money.
Easy install. Straight forword instructions.
Replaced my stock speakers in my 2007 Hummer H3 with these. Fit perfect with Crutchfield supplied brackets and sounded noticeably better. They aren't high end speakers so don't expect them to be but are a very nice OEM replacement.
Pros: Price, sound over OEM
Cons: For the price no cons
I replaced my blown factory speakers with a pair these 6 1/2" Kenwoods. They sound fine, but definitely lacking in mid-range or low sounds. I bought two Rockford Fosgate Prime R165X3 6 1/2" and tried to get by with these to save a few bucks, but I wish I would have gone with the Rockford Fosgates for both front and back instead.
Excellent Speaker for the price. Make the Delco junk look really bad.
Pros: Good Sound, Good price
Cons: None so far
Great speakers, replaced the crappy old cardboard stock speakers in my wife's 1992 Nissan Sentra. The range is pretty good, some good bass with great mid and high range sound. The installation gear that came with it worked perfectly and made the swap a 20 minute job.
Pros: Good mid and high ranges. Quick easy install. Good price.
Cons: Decent bass, but these weren't intended for lots of bass anyway.
For the price I couldn't be more pleased. Fast shipping. They sound great for the price . If you don't turn the radio up real loud I highly recommend. They can't handle the wattage but are crystal clear at normal listening volume.
Pros: clarity, price
Cons: wattage
sound is lifeless. no highs, no bass, all mids. factory speakers are as good if not better than these. I replaced them with another pair of 6.5s. they sound way better than the kenwoods ever could have and were cheaper!
Pros: none
Cons: everything about them.
I replaced all 4 speakers in my HHR since I had 2 that weren't working (1 front, 1 rear). These sound much better than the factory speakers and have better bass (to my ears).
Pros: Perfect fit, sound great, easy to install, great price.
Cons: None
Replaced the factory blown speaker with these. Excellent value. Perfect fit with all the included brackets and tools. Would recommend.
Pros: Perfect fit, great sound and quality, especially for the price.
Cons: None
Sounds great for a cheap speaker! I would even pay full price for this speaker! Honestly you don't even need a subwoofer with these! They have a great amount of bass.
Pros: Great Sounds, Good bass, Cheap, Easy install
Cons: NONE!!
Great name at a great deal.
Pros: Awesome fit and sound.
Cons: none
I had to grind off part of the edge of the speaker to get them to fit in the recessed location of the rear speakers in my standard cab 1997 Ram 2500. But it was well worth the effort, as they sound great for the pricepoint. Far better than OEM!
Pros: good sound, price
Cons: modification required to fit
Great product, sound and Customer Service from Crutchfield

Super happy with the product and the packagibg

Pros: Good value

The speakers sound ok
Pros: None
Cons: Installation brackets didn't work for my ride so I had to drill and mount all of them
Installed these speakers in the rear deck of my 2000 Buick Regal GS. Fit was perfect, and sound is great.
My buddy had bought a new to him truck. The 1st day he showed me his truck I notice the front speakers were not working.That week end I took off the door panel and took the speaker out to do a volt test. I had power to it but no sound. I pushed the speaker back and forth to see if I could get some sound to come out. It worked as long as I held it. "Time for new speakers my friend" I told my friend. I went to my old friends at Crutchfield to see what the had. They had a good package deal on Kenwood so we went for it. Called Crutchfield and talked to Norman. I asked him about the kenwood package to see if it was still available and gave him the year/make/model of the truck. He made sure we had everything we needed to complete the project. For the price of new speakers we got new stereo,harness with door chime,speakers,plastic stereo surround,and antenna adapter. I installed the new system last weekend. The 1st time I turned it on I was impressed on the sound quality. The base was low and the highs sounded great. Kenwood has always been good to me. Now that I have been a fan for 15 years I have been turning my friend into believers as well! Thanks Crutchfield.
Pros: Good sound and easy to install.
Cons: none
Fantastic price when I bundled with the Kenwood KFC-152 Receiver. The kit included all the necessary adapter wiring, and instructions which made the actual installation a snap.
Pros: Good sound from a bargain price. Excellent instructions & wiring adapters.
Cons: None
These speakers are awesome at lower volumes but are highly distorted when cranking up the volume. I bought these due to the recommendation of a Crutchfield service rep and paired them with a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X597. The service rep assured me that these paired together would be efficient, even at higher volumes. Sadly they are not. I would return them but made the mistake of throwing away the original packaging. Unhappy with this purchase, but I'll have to live with them as I'm a college student on a budget.
Pros: Easy installation. Good sound at lower volumes.
Cons: Distortion at louder volumes
awesome easy install in 2006 trailblazer price for 4 was great
Pros: easy install, all components needed in the box, big upgrade over factory and 4 speakers.
Replaced OEM speakers in a 99 toyota solara, brought the sound back!
Pros: Fit, installation
Cons: none
Good quality, didn't come with the holes so I had to manually drill some to make them fit but other than that they are good....way better than factory speakers
Pros: Good quality Easy to install
Cons: Holes didn't fit but was an easy fix
These speakers did not meet my expectations. My factory speakers provided a more complete sound. These Kenwoods do not deliver low signals and starts distorting at very low volume. I have a nice Pioneer head unit that powered my factories very well. I was not expecting subwoofer performance, but at the very least better performance than my paper speakers. The mids and highs were clear and well defined. The magnets were smaller than my factory speakers. I ended up adding a subwoofer to better the sound. I had to filter out the low frequencies on these speakers to prevent distortion. That did the trick and now I have a complete audio system. So, if you buy them think about getting some sort of sub to handle the bass.
Pros: Price
Cons: Poor performance on low frequencies
Installed these speakers with a Kenwood stereo to replace stock sound system. Great improvement and can actually hear details in the music. Not Great but still a great improvement.
Pros: Great budget speakers with good sound.
Cons: Highs get distorted and are not very clear.
Awesome sound quality, very pleased with the speakers!
Pros: Great buy, easy installation!
Awesome sound for a low price speaker! Good bass even without a sub and absolutely no static.
Sounds great for beginners system.
Pros: Easy install
Cons: Doesn't mount the rear decks perfectly without mounts
You really do get what you pay for. A bit of distortion here and there but I got it as a deal from Crutchfield if I bought a deck so it was worth it. Put it in my gf's 95 civic and wished there were some mounting brackets included but I made them fit. It is worth it in the long run to replace the factory speakers
Pros: Easy to install Cheap
Cons: Cheap Distorts in some highs
Speakers souns very good.
great speaker for the price was not worry for the bass have amp and subs for that.
Pros: great sound.
Cons: none.
worse than the original factor speakers... these went back in the box and were returned. I was really disappointed that Crutchfield markets a poor product. I have always been satisfied Crutchfield products. On this one, Crutchfield was quick to accept the return and refund my money.
Pros: lousy sound
Cons: fit
great value and product
Pros: easy to install
Very inexpensive speakers, sound is ok
These speakers sound great and you can't beat the price! Came with lots of speaker wire and the free mounting brackets. Super easy install in my Porsche 928.
Pros: Price, sound quality
Cons: none
great sound big upgrade over stock
Pros: sound great
Cons: making mod to fit 5 1/4 opening was a challange
Great speakers for the price, I bought these and some pioneer's that cost a lot more, the kenwoods sound a lot better
Pros: good bass, clear high
Cons: None that I can come up with
Very nice speakers. I didn't know my factory speakers (2009 Chevrolet Malibu) had failed until Bluetooth didn't work. It uses only the front door speaker. Easy install with Crutchfield included mounts and they sound great.
Pros: Sound, price, value.
Cons: Solder on connections is too thick for the female spade terminals on the supplied harness to easily push on. I just cut them off and soldered the connections.
Sounds excellent in 2001 SAAB 9-3.
They sound fantastic as replacements for the factory speakers in my '05 PT Cruiser. (I upgraded the factory stereo with a DEH-X6500BT earlier this year. ) Installation was so quick and painless I think i am going to replace the rest of the speakers too.
Pros: Value for money
Cons: None
Most speakers provided by car manufacturers are made of cones and constructed for short term duration. For a minimal fee you can improve your sound considerably with the Kenwood KFC-G1620's!
Pros: Clean mid range sound and fairly accurate high frequency response. Considering the cost the lower range is a great improvement over any standard factory installed speaker.
Cons: Very few. You can't get much better for a rock bottom price.
These speakers replaced OEM Mitsubishi Galant, 6X9 speakers in rear deck. Needed to go smaller in size due to needing a shallow speaker. Was a little hesitant on going smaller, but was pleasantly surprised with the sound. These Kenwoods sound a lot crisper than the original paper speakers. All adapters worked great for installing a smaller speaker. Price was nice as well.
Very clean highs, decent lows. For the price, very worth it.
Sounds good. Good value.
Love these speakers. Sound great. Well worth what I paid for them.
Pros: Sound great and easy to install
Cons: None
Pros: Sound amazing
Cons: None
Great speakers, great sound quality, great price!!
Pros: easy hook up, great sound, several mounting holes to choose.
Replaced all 4 stock speakers in door panels. Speakers sound good. Hardware included is cheap and difficult to use with provided adapter bracket.
Pros: Good sound. Easily driven by stock head unit.
Cons: Cheap Hardware.
Well, didn't paid much for it. So,you get what you pay. Base on price, if you have the same 4 speakers you will have a Mehh sound.
they were perfect . very easy to install . will buy again . the shipping was great .told all my friends already.
bought 2 pairs of these for my trailblazer great fit great sound easy install would buy these again
Pros: easy fit good sound for the money
Cons: none
GREAT PRICE / Easy install / super cheap: no sales, no shipping costs / free harnesses / purchases the install card! SWEET & REASONABE! SAVED over $ 100.00 from " competitive estimates!
Pros: Fits my Saturn perfectly !
Cons: None
Sound much better on the stock stereo than the OEM's that died. Great kit included and easy install!
Pros: Price, Great sound for the money
Cons: Non for this price point!
Fast and free shipping. Easy install with step by step instructions. Great sound for the price. 2008 chevy silverado crew cab
Pros: No drilling or cutting.
Sound better than me stock speakers for sure. Much clearer, loader, and I have bass compared to old. Worth the price for sure!
Pros: Easy install with plastic brackets and wire adapter.
Cons: None
Good quality and fit, a must for OEM speaker replacement
Pros: OEM fit Sound quality Price
Cons: None
The speakers fit great but the sound is not very good. I have had them in my car (with a stock stereo) and it sounds like I already have 2 blown speakers. The factory speakers lasted for 17 years and these have not lasted a month.
Pros: Good fit
Cons: Bad sound and longevity.
I used the Crutchfield vehicle fit, and I was told that these speakers wouldn't fit. I decided to purchase them anyway. The speakers fit in the OEM adapters, however the speaker covers for the car didn't fit anymore due to the brackets for the speaker covers were factory installed on the speakers. I am happy with the speakers, and the deck.
Pros: Great for the Money.The speakers are in a car that I consider a classic. Anything sound better than the original.
Cons: No so far.
Worse than the 16 year old factory speakers in my 4 runner. No bass at all. Got these and a comparable set of JBL for the back doors (these wouldn't fit), and you can barely hear the stereo with the windows down. Crutchfields response? You didn't spend enough.
So much better then the stock junk in my truck. I can actually Hear the words to the songs!!
Pros: Bolts right in, no clearance issues.
Cons: None I can think of
So the only reason as to why i got these speakers is because Crutchfield had a deal going on. Buy this Kenwood head unit and get these speakers for a steal. Boy am i glad i did. i wouldnt spend the full price on this set thats for sure. I didnt even check to see if these fit my truck. wasnt to worried about it. needless to say my truck had 5.25in speakers in the rear half doors, however somehow these fit the stock mounting holes. not the inside holes either. i was very impressed with the clarity vs my stock set.
Pros: great vocals. ok mid bass. easy install.
The factory Saturn speakers removed sounded 10x better than these. With my new head unit, with the old factory speakers, at a volume level of "25" the speakers were loud and clear, and full range. They actually had some decent midrange and bass for such small 5 1/4 speakers. The new speakers only reproduce highs, and have to be turned up to "35+" on the same scale to reproduce any volume level close to the factory speakers (with the same head unit). At this level, you are also amplifying all the background noise as well, and they sound horrible. Avoid these things!!!
Pros: Cost? But since they are worthless, I think it was wasted money.
Cons: The time wasted installing these useless things. What a joke they are And yes, they are hooked up correctly, as all the wiring harnesses and adapters were included by Crutchfield.
Not bad for the price. Good quality sound !!
Pros: Like what I hear.............
Cons: Came with speaker adapters for 6 x 9. I needed the one for the door speakers. Partly my fault for not being specific.
i buy a pair of this speakers last christmast , one of them is broke allready and still have factory stereo in my truck no amplifier. they are good just for about 6 month.
Pros: good brand.
Cons: bad quality materials.
This is an upgrade of factory speakers at a low price.
Pros: Crisp sound
Purchased bundled with the Kenwood Excelon deck. Awesome sound for the price! Handles the Alpine power amp smooth and clear. Installed in rear side panels of convertible. No distrortion when turned up loud at highway speeds with the top down. Sounds even better with the top up. I would recommend this bundle to anyone who has a budget and wants good sound.
Pros: sounds great. great price
Cons: none
A nice upgrade from factory stock on my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Sound quality seems excellent to me, although I do not try for big, booming bass.
Pros: excellent price, nice sound quality, all mounting hardware provided by Crutchfield at no additional cost.
i installed 2 pairs of these speakers and i am very pleased with the perfomance of the speakers replaced oem speakers with these speakers. very easy to install.
Pros: easy of installation
Cons: instructions on removal of the factory pigtail on oem speakers was not very clear needed more information on the removal process of the pigtail
Came with my Kenwood head for $20. I used them in the rear of a '94 Z28 convertible and they sound just fine. Don't expect bass, but as a rear speaker they're great. I wouldn't use these for front speakers unless you're not picky. Nice crisp highs.
Pros: Cheap, great as a budget rear speaker.
Cons: No bass, but what do you expect for $20???
Sounds decent but I would not call it an upgrade speaker over stock. Stock speakers were deteriorated (17 years old) so I replaced them with these Kenwood because it was a deal when purchase with stereo. For the price, I can't complain.
I work in the car alarm & stereo business & put these in many cars & trucks for people who want the best, but at a cheap cost, when it was time to upgrade my own system, I called my distrib. & asked for a discount, their price for ME was higher than Crutchfield & it would have cost me additional money for the faceplates, converstion parts, etc ????? I always delt with Crutchfield on my other cars & went on line - WOW I saved over $100.00 between the radio, speakers,and ALL the parts i needed to install - bottom line, I AM IN LOVE WITH MY SYSTEM !!!!!!! & saved money, I now know why my customers come back & send friends for the same system !!!!!!
Pros: EVERYTHING !!!!
Cons: I had to install myself LOL LOL LOL
There's a reason these are being given away at a discounted price. There's barely any noticeable difference between these and stock speakers on my Honda Fit '12. They're actually worse when it comes to handling bass as they make cracking noises when playing an average Metal song. My stock speakers didn't make a crystal clear sound but didn't choke an average load of bass either. I'll send these back and do my research before ordering the next pair.
Awesome upgrade to stock speakers for the price
Pros: Affordable, sounds great
Cons: None
Installed these speakers to replace 22-yr-old factory speakers. Magnet size about the same so would put these as somewhat better than factory stock for the vehicle. Compared to the old speakers, Superior. Quite happy with them.
Pros: Good price. Easy install with no drilling required.
Cons: None.
The speakers are dead after 7-8 months. Complete garbage!!!!
Pros: None
Cons: None
Talk about night and day, I just got these new speakers for the front and WOW What a differance these made . You could hear good with the old vr2 speakers but when i put these in i heard what I was missing as far as Audio Quality . Crisp and clear and you hear bass in the front now... I'm impressed , the middle range is where it should be. its as if I have a premimum sound system. The Reciver (kenwood exceleron x595) that I installed two weeks ago improved the system and now with these front kenwood speakers and the rear speakers by kenwood makes thsi car awesome.
Pros: Easy to install and the cutting of the old backing to make these fit went quick due to the dremal tool i used. the included instructions helped a lot. had to cut the conecctors seeing they were missing in the door but I solderd them and heat shrunk them as well. The price was great and for the money you cant go wrong.
Cons: couldent find anything
amazing sound for the price
Good sound for the money. Came as a package deal with a Kenwood receiver and were a big improvement over the 16 year old speakers in my truck.
Love my Kenwood KFC speakers! I have used them in several vehicles. Great sound for stock replacement speakers.
Pros: Great sound for the money.
Easy to install and sounds great!
Sound Great, Great Vaule for the Money
I recently bought a Kenwood receiver and these speakers were bundled into the deal, which overall was a pretty decent value. I'm replacing the entire sound system in my truck, and I am glad that I also ordered a set of Bass Blockers for these, and a powered subwoofer instead of replacement 6x8 rear speakers, for a bit of fulfilling and accurate low-end. You can't expect to get any sort of decent low frequencies out of these for several reasons. Primarily is the fact that the "woofer" cones themselves are in fact only five inches in diameter, which is SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than the stated size. The basket itself at its widest point isn't even that large. The 45Hz low frequency claimed is, like many specs you'll find, grossly exaggerated. Specs for audio gear are very often like EPA estimated fuel mileage ratings for vehicles. They represent some sort of theoretical best case scenario which doesn't actually exist in our reality.
Pros: The woofer cones are just about the perfect size to provide some really good midrange, so long as you stifle their movement. The tweeters do their job as expected. However, given all the value-added stuff you get buying anything from Crutchfield, it all tends to even out, at the very least.
Cons: Obviously Kenwood's to blame for the considerable measurement discrepancy. The box actually claims these have 6½-inch woofer cones. These speakers also have some of the smallest magnets I've seen on any aftermarket product of this "magnitude", which means actual power handling is pretty low. I've been a loyal and continually satisfied Crutchfield customer for over 20 years, and also a pretty consistent Kenwood buyer. It seems Kenwood is starting to slip, along with many other companies lately.
Great sounding speakers. Not sure what happened with my speaker but it happens I guess.
Pros: Major upgrade from stock speakers. Got them bundled with the Kenwood dash. Superior clarity.
Cons: Started listening to music one day and noticed nothing was coming from left side. Thought maybe there was a loose wire but made sure everything was connected plus I tested it in another car and it was DEAD. Makes a fuzzing noise when it receives audio. Still aligned properly on the voice coil just makes a fuzzy noise. Had to put the stock speaker back in :(
I just bought my first car and I installed these speakers myself in my '95 Corolla. Installation was a breeze, Crutchfield makes it that much easier by sending all of the vehicle specific wiring adapters. These speakers sound great; decent bass, great clarity. Not enough bass for my taste, but a subwoofer can fix that. Overall, for the price, you can't beat these speakers.
Pros: Easy Installation Sound Great Good support from Crutchfield
Cons: Nothing
I've been a fan of Kenwood products for many years. This was the first time I ever purchased Kenwood speakers. I expected them to, at the very least, perform better than the factory speakers, but to my shock, they're not even as good! I got these Kenwood speakers because they were part of a package deal - a Kenwood CD receiver with these two speakers. I am very impressed with the receiver, but the speakers are going to be replaced.
Pros: The Kenwood name.
Cons: Not even as good as the factory Ford speakers.
Sounds great for the price. Easy to install, no hassle. However if you want bass, don't expect it without a woofer.. That's not a complaint though, just a fact.
I'm returning these after trying to work with them for a month or so. They tend to have a tinny sounding resonance that makes HD Radio sound even worse than it normally is (another subject, but many stations compress the bitrate too much making them sound like low-quality streamed audio). The speakers are very powerful and do not distort as long as you are not trying to get much bass out of them.
'03 Avalanche, About 30 minutes per pair install time with good installation directions. Sound is very good for the price. If you want something to thump the neighborhood, spend more money and buy something else.
Replaced two blown out front door factory speakers in a 2002 Toyota Sienna Van with these KFC-G1620 speakers. got them on sale for $29.00. Base was OK mid range and treble were very good. When I cranked it up there was some distortion. ALL IN ALL not bad for the money.
good stock replacement
These speakers are over priced and are just average at best! They barely beat my factory speakers and they are terrible! I spent more money hoping for a better speaker and I was just shocked how terrible these sound! I had high hopes, First time Kenwood has ever disappointed. only pro was I didn't put two sets in my 08 Lancer!
sounds great with 6x9's and kenwood deck
decent speakers for a good price. better than factory fitted ones.
Very good speakers for the money. Would buy again
I got these speakers with my stereo purchase and I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality and value.
These great speakers came along with a Kenwood KDC-MP345U stereo reciver/cd deck. WHAT A FREAKING BARGAIN! The stereo and the speakers for a great price, Cruthfield's legendary service, install kit, wiring harnesses, detailed instructions - I'll never buy gear anywhere else. These speakers replaced the door speakers in my '99 Silverado, easy to install, sound 1000% better than the stock speakers. Great value
My factory front speakers in my 97 Nissan Altima had blown and were in need of an upgrade. These came with the Kenwood KDC MP345U package so I decided to use them. I had to make them fit since my factory speakers were 4x6. These are decent speakers producing nice highs and decent mids. There is however no noticeable bass produced from these. Not sure why they don't but even hooked to my new receiver they do not. If you want bass then be sure to get some nice speakers for the rear or a sub.
The Kenwood KFC-G1620 sound outstanding, look good and were a great buy considering all of the Crutchfield extras and tech support I recived. If were not for the Crutchfield team and support they provided the Kenwood KFC-G1620 would have been just another speaker, but they worked with me in selecting the right product for my stero and car. Crutchfield made Kenwood sound good.
Ordered these with my new Kenwood deck. Said it would not fit my 1999 jeep wrangler, but went in just fine.
Very satisfied.... great quality
These sound great for the money. Would recommend

Woofer: The woofer cones are constructed from polypropylene to insure a uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. The cones are lightweight and rigid for low distortion and good bass response. Each woofer uses a treated cloth surround.
Tweeter: The speakers use 1" PET balanced dome tweeters. Balanced dome tweeters are semi-dome tweeters with equal reproduction area given the cone and dome portions of the tweeter; a balanced-dome tweeter produces a wide soundstage for superior imaging.
Applications: The Kenwood KFC-G1620 can be used in standard 3-hole 6-1/2 installations, 4-hole 6-1/2 installations (common in Fords), and 6-3/4 installations.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Semi power them by an amp and you'll need a sub to even them out... [ BOO`S SECONDHAN Feb 13, 2014 ]
Yes, they deliver stong bass considering their size. I was pleasantly suprised by this mainly because i'm used to having 6x9 speakers in the rear of a car,not 6 1/2 inch rounds... hope this helps! [ RANDY Feb 13, 2014 ]
For an inexpensive coax speaker, they will do just fine. If you expecting to rattle your side mirrors, you are barking up the wrong tree. [ DAN Feb 13, 2014 ]
I installed two pairs of these with a kenwood deck this summer and they sounded great. As far as bass go they are very good for stock, but if your looking to really be heard and feel the bass you might wanna look into a sub as well. [ JESSE A Feb 13, 2014 ]
No. As a matter of fact, a voice coil on one fried in a week [ CARS Feb 13, 2014 ]

DHB started life as mail order giant Wiggle's value clothing range and quickly established a reputation for decent products at surprisingly low prices.
For 2011, they're becoming more of a standalone brand and are hoping to shift attention from the price of their kit to the quality – although prices will stay low – with a new logo, new names (no more Hampshire placenames), new designs and a more consistent look.
We're told there are plenty of exciting products in the pipeline for 2011, including helmets, luggage and some innovative 'Touch-Tip' gloves which have electrical conducting fibre on the tips of the thumb and first finger, allowing you to use your touch screen phone without getting cold hands.
For now, here's a sneak peek at DHB's winter 2010/11 clothing line. Please note, many of the pictured products are pre-production samples so the finished items may differ slightly.
The £29.99 Core is DHB's entry-level winter jersey, with a brushed finish, reflective details, relaxed cut and a large zip pocket plus three normal pockets at the rear. It's available in blue, red and black, in men's and women's cuts. It's one of the most popular items in the entire DHB range, and it's easy to see why: it's cheap but good.
At the £55, the Momentum jersey offers a significant step up in performance, with a race cut, articulated arms and side panels made of warm but breathable polyester waffle fleece. It has an internal chin guard strap to avoid zip irritation, and a high-rise collar to keep out the cold.
The thick, fleece-lined soft-touch Momentum is DHB's top-end jersey for winter 2010/11
A silicone waist gripper stops it riding up, and there's a discreet zipped side pocket for valuables as well as two standard rear pockets and a Velcro-fastened central pocket. Colours are the same as the Core, and men's and women's versions are available.
One neat touch on the Core demonstrates the attention to detail of DHB's product designers: the central pocket has a laminated 'sweat barrier' so you carry your phone or MP3 player without any risk from condensation.
Features like the pocket 'sweat barrier' and silicone waist grippers are unusual at this price
The Windslam jersey is lighter weight and has a polyurethane membrane covering the chest area to cut wind chill. The armpits and back are breathable, and there are three rear pockets. It's available in short- (£39.99) and long-sleeve (£44.99) versions, in DHB's standard three colours.
A Roubaix version of the Windslam jersey is also available, which ups the warmth factor and adds extra wind protection on the chest and front of the sleeves, along with a high-rise collar. RRP is £49.99. It's available in the same three colours.
Base layers
This winter DHB are offering a choice of two synthetic and two merino wool base layers. The Corefit uses the same synthetic Nanobon fabric as last year but gets an improved wicking treatment and sportier cut. Prices are £17.99 (round neck) or £19.99 (zip). It's available in black/grey or grey/red, in men's and women's versions.
The Corefit is DHB's entry-level base layer, but you wouldn't tell from looking at it
The pricier (£29.99) but warmer Aerofit features low-profile neck and cuff hems, and a stretchier 'S cafe' fabric for a closer fit. A brushed internal surface gives a comfortable feel, while coffee bean viscose has been added to the fabric mix to combat odour.
The Aerofit base layer features low-profile hems and a brushed surface for added comfort
The merino base layers are available in two thicknesses – a slimline 150 gsm (grams/square metre) and warmer 190 gsm – and with a round or zipped neck. Prices range from £34 to £45. Flatlock seams are used for comfort.
The M_150 takes advantage of merino wool's insulating, wicking and odour-control properties
All of DHB's tights now come with the same Cytech pads used by the likes of Castelli and Gore, quality YKK zips and better, more breathable fabrics. They range from the basic Pace at £37.99 to the £74.99 Pace Superroubaix WP. Pictured below is the £44.99 Pace Roubaix, DHB's most popular winter tights.
All three tight designs are also available in non-bib, 3/4-length and short versions, or without pads. An array of waterproof trousers are also available, including fluorescent yellow options, from £34.99.
The Pace Roubaix is DHB's mid-level tight, with a Cytech Giro pad, leg zips, mesh back and fleecy Roubaix lining
The £34.99 softshell Windslam gilet has a fleece inner lining, with a windproof membrane on the chest and a mesh back for breathability. There are two zipped side pockets, a chin guard and reflective piping. It's available in black, blue or red.
Gilets like the DHB Windslam are ideal for changeable autumn days
DHB have five jackets for this winter, ranging from the super-lightweight £27.99 Wisp shell to the fully waterproof and highly breathable Minima (£39.99) and range-topping Perpetual and Windslam Softshell (both £69.99).
The £54.99 Signal pictured below is available in hi-vis yellow or stealthy black – in which case a healthy smattering of reflective graphics and piping will ensure you're still seen at night. It's made of DHB's 2.5 layer fabric, which is said to be both waterproof and highly breathable.
The Signal jacket is also available in a black version that DHB claim offers 'the ultimate in discreet high visibility'
Features include long pit zips, two zipped front pockets plus one at the rear, a longer than normal front cut for better protection from the elements, a fleece lined collar and chinguard, Velcro cuff adjusters and drawstrings at the waist and neck. The Signal is available in men's and women's versions.

WILMINGTON: Roster | Stats | Schedule | Coaches
No. 2 ranked Mount Union plays its third straight home game Saturday at 7 pm hosting Wilmington in an Ohio Athletic Conference matchup at Mount Union Stadium in Alliance.
Mount Union beat John Carroll 58-7 and rolled up 631 yards of offense as Jeremy Murray (Martins Ferry/Martins Ferry) rushed for a career-high 224 yards and three touchdowns while Jasper Collins (Geneva, N.Y./Geneva) had a career-best three touchdown catches. It was all more than enough cushion for the defense that held John Carroll to 155 total yards.
Wilmington fell behind early and rallied before suffering a 26-12 loss at Capital last week. The Quakers had just 39 yards of offense in the first half and fell into a 26-0 hole before a pair of second half touchdown passes from Brandon Arehart. Devon Burton led the defense with nine tackles and an interception.
Mount Union, Wilmington, Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) and the American
Football Coaches Association (AFCA) will be part of Coach to Cure MD, a one-day, nationwide event designed to raise awareness about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy this Saturday . We need your help to stop this devastating disorder that robs young men of their mobility, their independence, and sadly their life. AFCA President and Mount Union head football Larry Kehres and his entire coaching staff and the Wilmington staff will wear Coach to Cure armbands and encourage fans to donate for this cause.
All Mount Union football games will be broadcast on the radio on WDPN 1310 AM and WRMU 91.1 FM and simulcast online along with a LIVE STATS game tracker at http://athletics.mountunion.edu. You can also here the WRMU 91.1 FM feed on any phone by calling (330) 445-7900. This week's game is not on television but the remaining home games will also be shown on television via tape delay on regional sports cable channel SportsTime Ohio and WIVM TV52 (Stark County), WIVN TV29 (New Philadelphia), Time Warner Cable (ch. 989-Stark County, ch. 99-Tuscarawas County), Massillon Cable (ch. 21) and Clear Picture Cable (ch. 21-Wayne County). Image Video produces the broadcasts with Joe Tait, who just finished a 39-year run as the radio voice of the Cleveland Cavaliers, does the play-by-play and Harry Paidas handles the color commentary.
This is the 14th meeting between the teams with Mount Union holding an 13-0 lead in the series. The series started with a 43-0 Mount Union victory on Nov. 9, 1968 in Wilmington
and the return game in 1969 was a 70-0 Raider win in Alliance. After that the teams did not play until Wilmington became a member of the OAC in 2000.
Larry Kehres (Mount Union '71) is 305-23-3 (.926) in his 26th season as head coach as one of the most successful coaches in college football history. His teams have won 21 OAC Championships, including the last 19 in a row, along with 10 of the last 18 NCAA Division III National Championships.
Ken Minor (Wilmington '73) is 0-12 (.000) in his second season as head coach at his alma mater. He has 38 years of coaching experience with 29 of those seasons as the head coach of Reading High School outside of Cincinnati where he amassed a 170-129-1 record.
The Purple Raiders hit the road for the first time in 2011 next Saturday playing at nationally ranked Ohio Northern University. Kickoff is slated for 1:30 pm at Dial-Roberson Stadium in Ada.
Second year head coach Ken Minor is trying to lay the foundation of a program at Wilmington which is not an easy task in the OAC. The depth chart for this week features just six seniors. A year ago the youthful Quakers did lose three games by three points.
On offense sophomore Brandon Arehart is in his second year as a starter and so far has completed 52.4-percent of his passes for 395 yards and three TD's. His top target is sophomore Kyle Blakeman, who is one of the OAC's top receivers averaging 127.5 yards per game. The top two running backs -- juniors Tyrell Richardson and Tyler Evans are both back after sitting out last week against Capital.
The Quakers run a 3-4 on a defense and are replacing All-American linebacker Bryce Martin and All-OAC linebacker Cody Hamilton. Senior Antwoine Shelton has stepped into one of those spots and leads Wilmington in tackles while freshman safety Devon Burton is second on the team in stops with 15.
Mount Union's win-loss record since 2000
55, 54
The Raiders hold the NCAA's two longest consecutive college football win streaks -- 55 from 2000-2003 and 54 from 1996-99
game regular season win streak for Mount Union dating back to a 21-14 loss to Ohio Northern in Alliance on Oct. 22, 2005.
game home winning streak for Mount Union dating back to a 21-14 loss to Ohio Northern in Alliance on Oct. 22, 2005.
consecutive regular season road victories for Mount Union dating back to a 21-18 loss at Baldwin-Wallace on Sept. 28, 1991.

The Raiders record since 1990 when winning the turnover battle. That lone loss was a 20-17 loss to Wisconsin-LaCrosse in a 1995 national semifinal game. In that game, the Raiders had a +1 turnover margin.
The Raiders 631 yards last week was their highest total since 657 yards against Wheaton (a 45-24 win) in a NCAA Division III national semifinal game on Dec. 13, 2008. It was Mount Union's best regular-season performance for total yards since a 648-yard performance against Baldwin-Wallace (a 48-3 win) on Oct. 4, 2008.
THE RAIDERS in 2011
Mount Union returns 16 starters and 48 letterwinners in 2011.
With a 49-0 win over St. Lawrence in the first round of the 2010 NCAA Playoffs, Larry Kehres became the 11th coach in college football history to win at least 300 games. Here is a list of the others.
- 480 John Gagliardi * (Carroll, MT, St. John's, MN)
- 408 Eddie Robinson (Grambling State)
- 403 Joe Paterno * (Penn State)
- 377 Bobby Bowden (Samford, West Virginia, Florida State)
- 323 Paul "Bear" Bryant (Alabama, Maryland, Kentucky, Texas A&M)
- 319 Pop Warner (Georgia, Carlisle, Pitt, Stanford, Temple)
- 314 Roy Kidd (Eastern Kentucky)
- 314 Amos Alonzo Stagg (Springfield, Chicago, Pacific)
- 305 Larry Kehres * (Mount Union)
- 305 Frosty Westering (Parsons, Lea, Pacific Lutheran)
- 300 Tubby Raymond (Delaware)
* Active
Senior linebacker Arthur Smith (Miami, Fla./Killian) had his first interception of the season on John Carroll's fourth pass attempt of the game last week and also had a fumble recovery. It was the first of three picks for the Mount Union defense as junior safety Nick Driskill (Wabash, Ind./Southwood) got one to go along with a team-high seven tackles and junior corner back Isaiah Scott (Hamilton/Fairfield) took a pick 49 yards for a score. Through two weeks, the Mount Union defense has forced eight turnovers in two games.
Junior running back Jeremy Murray (Martins Ferry/Martins Ferry) had a career-high 254 yards rushing and three touchdowns last week. It marked the ninth 100-yard and second 200-yard rushing performance of his career. He now has 1,995 career rushing yards which places him 10th on Mount Union's all-time rushing list. He passed Claude Charlillo (1,974 yds. - 1977-79) and is 18 yards from passing current Ohio Northern head coach Dean Paul (2,013 yds. - 1987-90) in ninth.
Junior wide receiver Jasper Collins (Geneva, N.Y./Geneva) had his third 100-yard receiving game of his career with eight catches for 109 yards last week. He also had a career-best three receiving touchdowns which more doubled his career total has he had two receiving touchdowns for his career entering the game.
Jeremy Murray's 254 rushing yards against John Carroll was the most in a single game by a Purple Raider since Nate Kmic had 310 yards against Wheaton (Ill.) in an NCAA playoff national semifinal game in 2008. The 254 yards was the second most in a regular season game in school history behind the 269 yards that Mike DiBlasi had against John Carroll in 1970.
PURPLE RAIDERS IN THE PROs
Wide receiver Pierre Garcon is in his fourth season as a member of the Indianapolis Colts with three catches for 28 yards in a 27-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns while Cecil Shorts III made his first career start at wide receiver and had a pair punt returns for the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 32-3 loss to the NY Jets. Purple Raiders in the coaching ranks include Dom Capers, the defensive coordinator of Green Bay Packers and Nick Sirianni, the offensive quality control coach with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mount Union replaced its 10-year old AstroPlay surface with a new FieldTurf playing surface this past summer. Fans will notice that the football and soccer lines are permanant with two tones of alternating green and black end zones. The black also carries over to new Nike home purple jerseys that the Raiders will wear this season. Mount Union's newest teams -- men's and women's lacrosse will start varsity play in the spring of 2013 and their lines will be painted onto the field. New turf was put in the South end zone which moved the students and band to the North end leading to Mount Union warming up on North side and entering the stadium from the Northwest corner of stadium.
At halftime, the University of Mount Union M Club Hall of Fame will induct its 2011 class of Heather O'Shea '95 (women's track and field), Mike Sessor '86 (wrestling) and John Topoly '93 (wrestling).

Former NBA star Dennis Rodman is touring North Korea's monuments.
State TV on Thursday showed Rodman getting a look at towers and buildings in central Pyongyang as a guide told him about late North Korean founder Kim Il Sung.
North Korea's official news agency said the flamboyant star known as "The Worm" also visited a palace where Kim and his son Kim Jong Il lie in state, and said he paid "high tribute."
Rodman is joining three members of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in a news show on North Korea that will air on HBO later this year.
The Korean Central News Agency said the American athletes joined North Korean teens for basketball training.
Rodman tweeted from Pyongyang that he's hoping to meet current North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

What's the Hottest Video-Game Console of Them All?
It's not the Wii, the Xbox 360, or the PlayStation 3 …
Every five or six years, a new generation of game consoles hit the market. They're armed with the latest disk drives and processors and storage mediums. They're capable of doing things with graphics and physics and artificial intelligence that were unimaginable a few years before. This holiday season, thousands of people camped out at Circuit City and Best Buy for this thrilling new hardware. Television and newspaper reporters hovered around these game-hungry geeks, waiting to see who would win the "console wars." Would it be Nintendo's Wii, Sony's PlayStation 3, or Microsoft's Xbox 360?
The results are now in. More than 1 million Xbox 360s were sold in December. Nintendo sold 600,000 Wiis that month. Sony brought up the rear, selling half a million of its $600 PlayStation 3 consoles. Still, Sony was the surprising winner of the December sales contest. How? Its six-year-old PlayStation 2 console racked up 1.4 million sales, far outpacing all three of the newfangled consoles.
So, what's going on here? Wouldn't the bleeding-edge tech in the new game consoles render the clunky old PS2 obsolete?
One reason the new consoles lagged behind the PS2 is supply—the manufacturers simply couldn't make them fast enough to meet demand. Price is also an important factor. The PlayStation 2 costs just $130, nearly five times less than Sony's bank-busting PS3. It's no accident that the new console that's now selling the fastest is also the cheapest: Nintendo's $250 Wii.
The PS2's popularity makes sense if you run the numbers. Along with being $470 cheaper than the PS3, PS2 games can be found for $10 or $20, while most new PlayStation3 games go for $60. That's a steal, considering that the library of great games available for the PS2 could keep a kid occupied until the PlayStation 8 is released circa 2030. According to the review aggregator site Metacritic, there are no PlayStation 3 games that merit a grade of A, and only a dozen or so that score a B- or better. But there are more than 60 PlayStation 2 games that score an A, and more than 300 that score a B or better.
Sony has had trouble building interest in its new PlayStation 3. Actually, that's putting it mildly. The negative reaction to the console within its target audience of hardcore gamers is surprisingly intense. Do a search for "PS3" on YouTube and you'll find a panoply of anti-Sony screeds, including a heartfelt music video about the console called "How To Kill a Brand" and a parody of the popular Mac ads that casts the PS3 in the role of the unhip PC.
Luckily for Sony, their old console is so popular—more than 100 million have been sold worldwide—that they can offset some of the money they're hemorrhaging with the PS3. By continuing to manufacture and support the PS2, Sony is keeping its old customers happy and offering a cheaper alternative for people who can't afford a next-generation machine. Sony did the same thing last time around and managed to sell more than 20 million of the original PS1 consoles between 2000 and 2004—after the appearance of the PlayStation 2.
Meanwhile, Nintendo and Microsoft have stopped making new games for their old consoles—a telling sign that their previous generation of consoles is headed for the dustbin. Built-in backward compatibility—you can play games for the original Xbox on the Xbox 360, and Nintendo Gamecube games will work on the Wii—ensures that nobody has to throw away their old games, but it's also a subtle way to encourage old customers to spend money on new hardware. While the PS3 is also backward compatible (it plays both PS2 and PS1 games), Sony isn't pulling the rug out from under PS2 owners. Sony isn't just releasing new games for the PlayStation 2—it's releasing new blockbusters.
On March 13, thousands of people will line up to buy the gloriously brutal action game God of War 2. Though it will appear exclusively on the venerable PlayStation 2, it's an almost certain bet to be the top-selling game of the month. A brief plot summary: You're a badassed Greek demigod who gets pre-Socratic on hordes of gorgons, harpies, and minotaurs. The epic battles against characters like the Colossus of Rhodes are worthy of Ray Harryhausen films like Clash of the Titans. They're among the most gorgeous and intense spectacles ever seen in a game.
Cory Barlog, the game director on God of War 2, told me that the attraction of making a PS2 game isn't simply the 110 or 115 million potential customers. The real appeal was that he and his team of 70 geeks know how to extract every last bit of potential from the PS2. "At this point, we know the hardware intimately, we know all the tricks," he said. "But when you start working on a new console, it's like you're hitting the reset button. You have to relearn everything."
Playing God of War 2is, without question, a more satisfying experience than playing any of the launch titles for the new consoles. Those games may have better graphics, but they lack polish and self-assurance. A lot of the same geeks who rushed out and purchased a PlayStation 3 are going to buy God of War 2and play it on their new consoles—thank God for backward compatibility. On the other hand, if you didn't spend $600 on a PS3, you can still play the best new game on the market. Perhaps the best new console is no new console at all.

Phase 1 of bridge deconstruction on Lake Pontchartrain complete
April 12, 2011 – The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has successfully completed the first phase of the conversion of the old Twin Spans into artificial reef habitat. Portions of the old bridges were recycled in a unique way to provide continuing service to the public.
The four-acre reef is located between the new I-10 bridge and Highway 11 (Latitude 30° 10.169' Longitude 89° 50.744'). The corners of the reef are marked by four yellow illuminated marker buoys.
Sixty spans were dismantled, processed and deployed as reef material. In addition to providing hard bottom habitat for bottom-dwelling organisms, the reef will create a valuable fish habitat for popular recreational species including redfish, speckled trout, croakers, sheepshead and drum.
The creation of the artificial reef is the culmination of partnership between LDWF, Department of Transportation and Development, Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana and NOAA Office of Coast Survey.
"Increasing habitat for finfish will provide greater sport fishing opportunities on Lake Pontchartrain, which will ultimately benefit the economy in attracting people to the area," said LDWF Assistant Secretary Randy Pausina. "And we're able to do so utilizing materials that would typically be sent to a landfill."
The second phase of the bridge demolition is currently underway. Forty-two spans from the old Twin Spans will be used to create an additional four-acre reef.
Since its creation in 1986, the department's Artificial Reef Program has developed 28 reefs in Louisiana's inshore waters.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries is charged with managing and protecting Louisiana's abundant natural resources. For more information, visit us at www.wlf.louisiana.gov on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ldwffb or follow us on Twitter @LDWF.

It's taken SRAM a while to get into the e-bike game, and what they've come up with is, essentially, a 135mm OLD hub and battery pack combo. The E-matic electric assist system, to give it its full title, will fit on to any normal frame that has rack mounts, and runs any normal single-speed drivetrain (the company recommends a 44/17 gear ratio, but it's really up to you). Then the SRAM-designed rack and battery pack unit attaches to the bike like any ordinary rack, and the battery connects to a hub via a single wire. And that's it. No gears or handlebar controls; no unsightly bulbous 'design' bits on the frame; nothing.
The hub houses a processor, automatic transmission and motor, and power delivery is controlled by a 'sophisticated algorithm'. Which means, claims the company, that power is delivered intelligently, when you need it, and doesn't take away from the bike-y feel of the bike. It also tails off the power gently, to prevent you hitting the wall when the maximum assisted speed is reached. In Europe, that's 25km/h; in the States, that's 20mph. Who likes hitting the wall at 25km/h? And who knew that Americans were allowed to go faster?
There are three battery pack options, weighing between 1 and 1.5kg, which give a claimed 60-95km maximum range - the largest pack being the top end. And you can run either rim or disc brakes.

This looks actually interesting to me for summer commuting. Pity will it is not going to be an aftermarket fit at this stage.

Council approves parking, pension changes
On Monday evening, St. Marys City Council approved changes to the parking ordinance which were discussed during a previous workshop.There will now be 24-hour parking allowed in all public parking lots, whether metered, unmetered, permitted or non-permitted. The Depot Street Parking Garage will be regulated by permit parking and a pay-to-park machine, with rates set by Council. Also, 24-hour parking will be permitted in all public parking lots. This includes lots that are metered, as well as those designated permitted. The ordinance previously stated that city parking lots were to be closed from 2-6 a.m. Free parking is allowed in the North St. Marys Street parking lot daily from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. City Manager Dave Greene noted that in addition, handicap spaces will now be metered for payment as they have not been in the past.All members of Council approved the parking changes, with Councilman Denny Nero abstaining.In September, Council approved the 2012 Minimal Municipal Obligation (MMO) report using information provided from the actuarial report from Jan. 1, 2009. The results of the Jan. 1, 2011 actuarial valuation report show a decrease in cost compared to the 2009 report. This report may be revised using this data as long as it is approved by Council before the end of December 2011. An MMO is the state-mandated smallest amount a municipality is required to contribute to its employees pension plan. In order to ensure municipal pension plans are sufficiently funded, the amount is calculated using actuarial science.

Profile of Tyler Perry
Actor / Filmmaker / Playwright
Date Of Birth:
13 September 1969
Place Of Birth:
New Orleans, Louisiana
Tyler Perry is best known as the big, sassy grandma Madea from the movies Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005), Madea's Family Reunion (2006) and Madea Goes to Jail (2009). From his home base in Atlanta, Georgia, Perry commands a self-made entertainment empire that includes plays, books, TV shows and feature films. He began his professional career there in community theater in the 1990s as a playwright. Throughout the 1990s Perry staged I Know I've Been Changed, an autobiographical musical that became a national hit by the end of the decade. His other hits on stage include Diary of a Mad Black Woman, I Can Do Bad All By Myself and Meet the Browns, and the merchandising of the performances on DVD made Perry a rich man and a national celebrity, especially among African American audiences. Perry's movies use broad humor -- he's nearly six and a half feet tall and plays an overbearing granny -- and stress the ups and downs of family life. His string of movie box office hits includes Why Did I Get Married? (2006), Meet the Browns (2008) and I Can Do Bad All By Myself (2009). He also publishes books, releases CDs and DVDs, and in 2006 launched a sitcom on cable television, Tyler Perry's House of Payne.
Extra Credit:
Perry has credited Oprah Winfrey's TV show with motivating him to write… "Madea" is a contraction of "Mama Dear" or "Mother Dear," and is the nickname of the character Mabel Simmons.

|Summary: Synchronize a remote arborescence from a local directory by using FTP
The command ftpsync is a tool allowing incremental and recursive FTP transfer from a local directory to a remote FTP-served directory. We sometimes need to mirror a set of files on a remote ftp server. The perfect tool (rsync) is not always available. Developing a script invoking a standard FTP client software will cause useless transfers (all files again and again even if they have not changed), and taking subdirectories into account will not be easy. ftpsync is the adequate tool because it reduces the amount of data transfered by not transfering a given local file if the remote copy has an newer date (so the copy is already done and up to date) and the same size (transfert completely done). The difference between system clocks is taken into account using the ftp protocol. ftpsync is somewhat "like" the rsync command but it uses the FTP protocol and only transfers local files to a remote FTP server. Moreover it implements the missing 'recursive PUT' FTP command.

Whether digital technology will help or hinder workplace insights remains a topic of ongoing debate. FastCo.Design features insights from business scholars on both sides of the issue.
Illustration: Hyena Reality; FreeDigitalPhotos.net
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer unleashed a firestorm of criticism earlier this year when she ended employee telecommuting in the name of innovation.
Whether digital technology will help or hinder workplace insights remains a topic of ongoing debate.
FastCo.Design features insights from business scholars on both sides of the issue, drawing from a recent issue of the journal Computers in Human Behavior.
How it helps
Information access—Access to new and diverse information might spark an idea, and digital technology provides that access.
Job engagement—One way to enhance employee engagement may be by providing the type of flexible work arrangements facilitated by technology, including telecommuting.
Professional support—Since digital technology can improve social connections among colleagues, it may help create an encouraging environment that nurtures new insights into full-fledged innovations.
Personal connections—Not only can digital technology strengthen connections across the employee chain, but it can also reach up to supervisors, whose buy-in is often critical to implementation of an idea.
How it hinders
Information overload—Behavioral scientists remain split on whether or not a person can multitask efficiently in the face of digital technology. Some evidence says our computers spoil our attention; other research suggests we can adapt in time.
Job over-engagement—A study published last year found work-family conflicts were often linked to personal exhaustion and that this effect was worse for people who performed "extensive telework."

QUESTION OF THE WEEK- What should be done with the Landmark Hotel?
Beth Kariel: "I like the idea of a nice hotel, personally, but I think the owners need to work it out between each other. It shouldn't just be sitting there."
Steve Wilson: "Destroy it. If nothing's going to be done with it, why not tear it down?"
Wayne Jackson: "I think it ought to be a hotel. If they've come this far, why not finish it?"

Santonio Holmes wasn't certain how to respond. He was standing in the visitor's locker room at FirstEnergy Stadium late Thursday night after delivering a breakout first half during the Bears' 33-13 exhibition loss to the Browns.
Holmes scored the Bears' only touchdown, a 32-yard reception that featured a cyclone spin and 24 yards after the catch. Not long after, he returned a punt 30 yards.
So here came a reporter's question asking whether Holmes needed those big plays for his own psyche, to prove to himself and the Bears' decision-makers that even at 30, and in only his second week with the team, he still could make a significant impact.
