It's already here. The gallery is in the "tacklebox" on the top of this page.

I remember those days well!! Pioneer super tuner III days!! lol Very true, the rating these days are geared to get kids to purchase equipment. They shop by "wattage" so when they see a 2000w amp for $150, how could they go wrong? lol Some of the most expensive amps out there, Brax, Arc audio etc, very rarely rate anything over 200-250 watts but you are talking about true RMS, not bogus advertising. Others can get away with it because there is no true equation to figure out wattage. My mono block is rated at 5000w. A single j/l audio 1000 will crush that amp, power wise. A 250w Brax will crush that amp. Just an example. You usually get what you pay for,...same goes for car audio.

Gen rule for highs.---For BEST sound, never move the tweet more than 6 inches from the mid. "a" pillar mounts are ok but they generally tend to ruin the separation because of placement and angle. If you can get it closer to the mid-bass, it will sound much better. Also, NEVER bounce a tweet off glass (windshield) I have an 8 mounted in the dash, hence the tweets in the defroster vents. Imaging is perfect with these because of their angle. Separation is limited. (ps-separation is bad,lol) If there were no 8 in the dash, this system would lose all integrity having the tweets so far from the mid-bass.

Cool man.

Biggest rule, any experienced installer will swear this to his grave,...it's 10% which components you use and 90% installation. JL and B/A though,..can't go wrong there.

MY CAR This was when I first did the stereo in my car. Custom glassing has come a long way in 6 yrs,lol. This car wasn't designed to be loud but rather, was a national SQ competitor on the IASCA circuit for Ma Audio. However, adding 5k watts at 14v to a car with over 600 lbs of sound dampener in it ain't too quiet. Now,...it's a 4 wheel tackle box but it still hits clean. note- SQ or SOUNDQ refers to the "other" class of competition audio, "Sound Quality". This class, there is no decibel rating. The cars are judged on a 300 point scorecard based on things like tonal balance, imaging, staging, separation, etc. With a SQ car, there is no "rear stage" (speakers in the back). You are trying to duplicate a live performance and when you hear live music, it comes at you face first, not from behind you. The 3 grills on the back dash are not speakers but vent holes for the trunk. There is a boat bilge system blower in there that sucks fresh air in one side and pulls old air from other side so the rear seat can be left up and ready to use at all times (stealth install for security)

4bizz is alright by me. Anyone who likes Powell rods can't be all bad. LOL,..JUST TO CLARIFY... THE 1ST PART OF MY COMMENT WAS A MOD NOTE, THE 2ND PART REFERS TO THE POST.

4bizz just LOVES pulling those punches,...lol Easy boys It's not just stupid, it's felonious.

ALL BETTER I called Matt early this morning. Met up 15 minutes from the phone call and remedied his situation within the hour We fished for an hour or so, just wanting to make a few casts while the skies were still stormy. 40 MPH wind and bright sun by this afternoon. Nice way to start the day, fishing with another member Thanks Matt, that was fun!

It's amazing what money can do these days. In all seriousness, they can make a huge difference to some folks with numerous issues. Amazing. but I wonder how many divorces that show has caused?? lol

No,no,no,....it's not HIS fault........ .........we never paid the bill

Problem solved Keith, nice work!

Great job. keep it up!

Howdy

Even a mook can learn though,....had somebody actually taught these guys, things would have been much better yet nowhere near as funny,lol.

Nice catchin guys!! Croatia, I don't know what happened but you are not banned here. We love the reports you guys put up and consider you the largest part of our international family. Keep it up!

Awesome.....shirt

The wind is your friend!! Drift socks are awesome , they work exceptionally well on tin boats. I used mine for a good part of the morning today.

If I "see" the hit, meaning I am watching the fluke and then it just disappears, I will pause, then set. Other than that, nothing different than any other t-rigged soft plastic.

You gotta stop throwing them at the bank. Personally, I love pickerel fishing but if you want to avoid them, get away from the grass around the edges. And try white

KB- the work itself is easy, the time intensive part is waiting 24 hrs before each coat of primer and each coat of paint. You need a 5-7 day window of warm/dry weather to get a good result. pain in the butt. We are starting my partners boat the week after next. It will be identical, right down to the hardware except this one will be blue.

The rivets used on a jon boat are a machine pressed rivet, you'll be better off using a tapered head bolt/nut

HAPPY B-DAY!!! Sounds like you got what I wanted!!

"with pay"...Did you figure out how much $$ you were given to catch each fish yet? Always puts a nice perspective on things.

We'll be here!
