Interesting news. I poured a ton of time and energy into helping him grow Mach5, we made nothing on the product and I mean ZERO. He was a good guy, but as soon as he thought it was a good idea to team up with Sound Digital (who have a hard on for Stetsom), then tells me Mach5 is getting out of the industry and to take down the section. Only to see a couple months later, there is a section up on CrapCo..... now he is done with it? After Stereo Integrity and Mach5 pulled that, I am no longer helping another brand because there is ZERO loyalty or gratitude in this stupid bullshit dance. Sorry to hear that you guys got the short end of the stick there. Unfortunately people have become increasingly ungrateful for people giving them some help or a fair shot. I know I have been guilty of that before myself. J It's ok. Mark warned me. It was my morals and good nature that has continued to get in the way of our business growth. Compromise your morals for money and see if you can look your kid in the eye or yourself in the mirror. At the end of the day, yes it is a business and must be ran as such, but you cannot violate your own ethics for profit. J

Thanks for searching J...what I want will take a bit more space than that I figured as much. Just hoped with lower prices that they might help get some ideas going. J

Ideas for ya Sean http://www.sidebysidesports.com/speakertubbie.html http://www.westmarine.com/buy/products/14370-c4-spectra-light-bar.html http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=775076&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=50157&subdeptNum=50197&classNum=50199 http://www.rocktheboataudio.com/marinespeakers.html Hope these help.

Quickcrete tubes will fail in water and these will get rained on a lot. I can glass them, but then I'll have HOURS into finish work and they'll still look like shit. Weight is no problem at all. That tower has to deal with me pulling on it which easily puts 400lbs of force if not more on it. SQ with balls sir. I BELIEVE JL Audio or Kicker made a bar tube for a loud stereo on the water. While a loaded version of this may not be up the 'SQ with balls' alley, it might provide the enclosure for you to load with your own speakers. I'll do some digging over lunch. J

I am just thinking about past wall installs here and the quickrete tubes from Home Depot come to mind. They have them in a variety of sizes. On the downside they tend to be rather heavy. What kind of maximum weight are we looking here? I know with you this is a moronic question, but does Sound Quality take a backseat to 'balls' for this install? J

I've got a Skil circular, router and jigsaw already. I know this is such a horribly newb question, but this is the first time I have had to buy blades (always just used what was at my father's shop or friend's shops). How much should a good 7 1/4" blade run me, and whats the best style of blade? Thanks for all the help guys. This is really helping me make intelligent decisions. J

Good points. I'll look into other avenues of approach here. Time for more picture research. J

Nothing but junk at that price point Jordan. You'll need to buy used and old to hit that budget. Understatement there. $200 used will still be junk. It's basically to build speaker boxes for the locals. Mainly in MDF, or maybe birch for myself. I'll also be cutting 1x4's or something along that line for building an am rack or two. I am basically working out of my driveway/some of my garage. These are an idea of what I have been looking at (Home Depot links only) due to the ease of storage. What are the common downfalls of saws like these? http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Power-Tools-Saws-Table-Saws/h_d1/N-5yc1vZaqdk/R-202061315/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051 http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&langId=-1&catalogId=10053&productId=202517810&R=202517810 This is the 'high end' of what I have check out (looking realistically) http://www.homedepot.com/Tools-Hardware-Power-Tools-Saws-Table-Saws/h_d1/N-5yc1vZaqdk/R-202500206/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&storeId=10051 J

Time to buy a table saw. I understand 'cheap' and 'table saw' don't exactly go together. What has everyone used and what have been your complaints/loves about it? Not looking to go over 200 unless some of this eBay stuff sells. J

Rather good possibility Sean. Then again it is possible that he still has some ownership of Secondskin. J

Ok that is a bad ass video. Still sucks being bitten though. J

Great score girl!!! My wife loves the beat in her truck but doesn't compete. I'm trying to get her to do it but she just doesn't get the draw. J

If you look the new company he is pushing 'Alpha Damp' has its link go right to Second Skin. So I think your right Big Jon J

How did everyone's kid's enjoy Easter? J

I only use FedEx when its a buyers request. J

I would like to make 2 side notes. 1) Shipping through FedEx anywhere outside of the US (even Canada) is a ROYAL PITA 2) Shipping 2 boxes totaling 23 lbs (11 and change each) should not cost over 100 dollars. J

For the 4runner? I'd fire at the rear gate r push them as far back as possible, mount the drivers as far back as possible and fire up. I thought they were in a pickup.........I might be behind the power curve though. J

Forward would be my idea. J

Im stationed in wichita, KS but originally from Kansas City, MO I wanted to something to represent my native heritage... I'm 25% Kiowa and 25% Potawatomi but there isn't a whole lot of information in comparison to other tribes which is my main issue. On the Potawatomi I couldn't advise, but the Kiowa is a US Army Chopper. There should be a good bit online about the tribe's history. J

I bet. J

Yay..............a day filled with children and parents who don't do shit about them acting like heathens. J

Sounds like a good trip! I am heading that way in July. If you watch for Lucky jeans you can find them at sams club on and off depending on the overflow from china. I have gotten them for 45 a pair at Sam's myself. And sounds like a great trip man!!! J

Beautiful pup Rick!! At times I wish my dog was still a puppy. J

Always wanted to visit the UK J
