    Dammit, winter is coming and I REALLY don't want to drive my Town Car in the snow.  It's so fucking clean.  I don't like working on rusty cars.  The truck is already rusty, so maybe I'll drive that bitch into the ground.  Just gotta get some snow shoes and some ballast.

    They can if you get competitive, we have a couple guys that are like that. Most of use just enjoy it for the get together. 

    I can't wait to get both of my grandsons versed on gun safety and shooting.

    I love how you mention safety. I thought this was going to be the hard part, but I think once they see what these things can do with their bare eyes, I think the point gets across right away.

    A group of us do 2 big shoots a year and it is a lot of fun. I use the same 12g I bought when I was 14. 

    I never even thought of shotguns as fun aside from blowing shit up.  The redundancy of skeet and trap does not appeal to me, but the clays are a different game.   I just hope I don't get too hooked because these guns get stupid expensive in a hurry.

    So what I'm gathering is the DC looks cooler than the Kenwood?  I mean obviously aesthetics play a huge role, so if you simply like one for it's looks and the specs are similar, by all means, go with the one you find more visually appealing.   As for the crossovers, I would always choose active over passive if you have both available.  Active is done electronically and often before the signal is amplified, so it tends to yield a "better" response.  Passive, IMO, I would never mess with in-car because it's far too daunting, and just an art form that takes years to master and that mastery is lost in the automotive environment.

    There's no such thing as a "competition" amp.  It's just marketing jargon.  There's not a soul on this forum that will suggest you buy anything from skar.  Personally, I would have kept the Kenwood.  Damn fine amp.  There's nothing wrong with name brand big box stuff.  In fact, it's more likely to have a higher resale value.  If you mention the name Wolfram, or DC Audio, chances are you will find very few people whom have heard of them before.  Not the same can be said for Kenwood.  Just my $.02.

    It's a lot of fun, and if Gavin (I hope I'm remembering your son's name correctly) is mature enough for it, this is a great bonding activity.

    Yup, it's Gavin.  He is on a skeet and trap club for the past two years.  That's how I got interested in the sporting clays.

    So I've wanted a Scion xB since they first came out.  Found one in Envy Green for a decent price.  I have absolutely NO need for another vehicle, and would really like to get some work done on my T-bird, but I still have a desire for this thing.  Kinda torn here.

    Hey, I didn't blow it up.  It was all of it's own accord.  It was problematic from day 1.  I only purchased it because it was cheap and had a 2 year warranty.  Didn't think I'd be returning it so soon though.    I'm not really sure I can bring myself to spend over $600 on a HU either.

    SO I tried out a Jensen HU because it was $400 cheaper than the Kenwood I wanted.    Well, it didn't work out too well.   It blew up Saturday and started smoking in my dash.  Luckily, Crutchfield is handling it all for me, so I can't complain about that, but DO NOT use Jensen products!
