    I have 2 dual port Battery Tenders at home.  Both are 10+ years old and have worked flawlessly.  I have 5 individual ones at work that I use for rentals and I've had zero issues with those as well.  Make sure your connections are clean and tight.

    I believe I've seen some of those here in FL. Those are really well built too!!!

    We've built stuff all over the planet.  I have a build for Kuwait right now.  Built an awesome rig for a company in Ghana too.  They clean petrol storage tanks.  IT was a 100HP diesel running 24GPM at 4000PSI. I built a rig to hold thew guns on the back of a Ford Ranger for testing.  I fired the thing up, put the truck in neutral and it literally pushed the truck across the lot.  It's pretty wicked.

    Ha, at the drycleaners we used to put mats in a big washing machine.

     

    We had some 600lb. machines at Aramark we used for mats.  Ironically, the largest tumbler they make is a 450.  So we'd load 900-1200 (dry) in the washer then that would go into the 450 tumbler.  That thing would smoke the belts every other week.

    LOL!

     

    I get tips all the time, but I always turn them down.  This build was such a pain in the ass, as was the customer, so when he came in to pick it up, he just threw some cash in my hand, and I just put it in my pocket.  After he left, I got it out to put in my wallet, and I about shit myself when I saw how much it was.  CRAZY!

    You never know when you're going to slide off road and need it to help get out. I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

    If I slide off the road it's because I'm being a dumb ass and I should be relegated to call for a tow for beings such a dumb ass.

    Of course I don't want one at $80k.  When they are 2 years old and $35k I am wickedly interested.

    Speaking of Ford.  How old of an S550 is ok.  I assume no 2015, but 16 on?

    Any problems with the Roush Stage 3?  I assume they are pretty robust.  Seen a few for sale sub-30k. 
     

    Personally, I would go for 16-17, or 19 up.  2018 was the exterior refresh and power upgrade, but the MT-82 had some serious issues in 18.  This is strictly GT of course.  IF going for the 350, take your pick of years.

    I like the design aspects, but when you jump from a Ford to a Lincoln, there's still too much Ford in the Lincoln.  Lincoln needs it's own identity, detail, and exclusivity.   It's just too much Ford.  Just an ultra expensive Ford.    Cadillac makes use of the GM platforms and parts bin while still retaining their own identity.  When you're in a Cadillac, it's not the same as being in a Chevy.  You can feel the Camaro in the Alpha platform cars in driving dynamics, but there is nothing else in that chassis, or design that feels the same between the two.

    It's not the fact that they're mounted under-seat, it's the fact of being in the middle of the vehicle which  is the issue.  I don't think it matters what way you fire them, you will just have reflections causing chaos.  I'm simply basing this on experience in SUVs and trunk mounted systems firing up right behind rear seat.  Hence my reasoning for testing.

    You can simply buy a very cheap woofer and slap together a simple enclosure for testing.  Hell, you could use a home speaker even.
