Whose got subs?
The system will also include a processer built by THX. It's a neural surround processor (exactly like in the movie theaters) The sound in this car should prove to be phenomenal. Much of this equipment was used in the previous Jetta install which took prizes in the Sound Quality classes all over New England. Mean and clean. Not built to be loud, a "Sound Quality" car gets judged on a 300 pt scorecard with such categories as Tonal balalnce, harmonic distortion, staging, imaging, etc. THIS system will be all that PLUS dvd, THX and most of all, the 3800 watts of power from the jetta will be run at 2/5 the voltage instead of 1/5 the voltage like in the previous app and you can ask anyone who sat in that car,...1/5 was plenty "loud" This will also be the 1srt time I work with this shape of a sound chamber. I always owned cars with trunks. I used the trunk to isolate frequencies regarding the mid bass and sub bass. I like my cars to hit stiff, not muddy or boomy. I'm curious, from what I've heard in other SUV's, I think I will be very happy with how this one impresses itself physically upon you. Music you feel, nothing like it if you love your music like I do. Oops, sorry, got carried away,lol.

Whose got subs?
A. No, you cannot hook subs directly to factory H/U. If you add an amp, an adapter ($10-25) will be needed to match the wiring harnesses. B. Yes, the speakers CAN survive but be careful, most external amps are stronger than the internal amp that comes from the factory. Start with your gains on zero and creep them up while the volume knob is at 4/5. Stop and back off a hair when distortion begins. C. Different amps have different functions, therefor, they come in different Ohms. Some are 1 ohm stable but I do not recommend running your gear at 1ohm, just because you can. It's like driving with the gas pedal on the floor any time the car is started, it will not last as long as if you baby it. The ohms are determined by how your speakers are wired if they are subs or what the rating is, if the amp is for full range speakers. (the speaker set will be rated, 4ohm, 8ohm,etc. 4 ohm is most common) I highly recommend you take some time to go learn on a few of the forum boards out there. Sounddomain and caraudioforums.com are great ones. Very much like BR is for fishing, they are for car audio. The guys will make you feel right at home and not make you feel stupid for asking the basics. If you choose not to, please have a certified shop do the work. There is much to know regarding safety, not just sound. When you add amps, you run power wires down the length of your car. If not protected for surge, you can wipe out the brain in your car or even light the whole thing on fire. EASILY. (these are just 2 examples of what can happen) Just some advice. Good luck and feel free to ask more questions but I HIGHLY recommend those sites. This is the FRONT STAGE going in my 4runner this week,lol,......you should see/hear what's going in the back!! We are aiming for a strictly "Stealth" install, nothing will be visible, the car will appear stock. There's ALOT to hide but the boys have come up with a couple trick app.'s already. Can't wait to hear this one.

O.S.P Yamato
Odd, I can't figure out what the keel would do to the action, I would think it would limit the walking action and force it to be more of a split mouth popper. A chug bait.

PA Mr. Bass april 25/26
No you don't, you just don't realize it yet Reminds me of the first time I skied out west, totally different snow, it is much more forgiving than in the east. Learn where it's tough and you can reign supreme when the going gets easy. Brett- Your attitude is very level and admirable. You are competitive but not to a fault. rare.

Roller on hull gone
You could also jack the boat while it's on the trailer, take the pressure off so you can get in there and switch the roller. Most are very easy if the trailer has never seen saltwater, a cotter pin or nut/bolt is all it takes to switch one out. Personally, I would go with Clipper's suggestion and float it off, pull it and repair. Good luck

holy crap-BEDS!!
Norman, I think I agree with Tin. The fish have moved off but are still ready to go,..it didn't get THAT cold. This week as things stabilize, they will move back up but we won't see a major wave with the moon like last yr. I think by the time the moon hits, it will merely trigger those that have not gone yet. It will be a steady spawn but no influx. We'll know for sure soon enough, filming next weekend here in RI with Mike D from Lunkerville. Fingers crossed, I hope we can put the guys on some fishies,....fat ones, full of egg would be even better!

Fishing Courtesy
BigBills comments are a serious reality that can get quite dangerous when people infringe on the wrong people. Like guides, making living or the wrong salty dog. Many are carrying and many won't think twice about using it. A warning shot,minimum. salt water is different but the same courtesy applies. I've seen some things.....some funny, some not so funny. When it comes to freshwater, that's easy for us as we know just about everyone that fishes the lake. But for those that can't resist, if neither of you own the lake, I'm sure he wont mind if you do tight circles around his boat for the next 10 minutes It's true, neither of you own the lake but you need to own the responsibility of being a courteous member of society if you expect the same respect back.

Weather change...who's seeing a difference here in the North East??
Stay NW. It's where you'll see the first signs of it picking back up.
