    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 Thanks J. Plenty of enclosures I could buy, but they are fucktastically expensive. That and usually geared towards 6.5" drivers, if I can stomach it I want 10's. Figured 4 pro audio 10's and a horn and that shit might be loud!

    Glad it worked. Have one issue with your post. "Good medium" is an oxymoron. Medium rare is the most beef should ever be cooked.

    Duh. Didn't realize they made 10" PVC. I'll need more than an endcap since they have to be around 13" long but I can easily smoothly cap the PVC. Ugh! $25 a foot. They will be, tuned somewhere in the 60's

    Hmm, those windows NEED tinting.

    I need an approximately 10" tube that is nearly ready for paint....or a better idea. I'd like to upgrade my boat tower speakers to something with more balls, but that requires an enclosure. Coating a sonotube in fiberglass to make it weather proof and then sanding it smooth enough to paint sounds to me like a major failure. Depending on the diameter I am going to stuff an 8" or 10" Faital Pro mid in it, unless I find something else weather treated and better. The four little bullets currently house JL 6.5's which don't have enough balls. This would allow me an "excuse" to put the Pio 880 in the boat

    Hard to lay paint outside... Nice build so far, looking forward to seeing the end result.
  8. While you are at it, sell the Epicenter as well. Terrible piece of gear IMO.
  9. Yikes. No. It is not a bandaid that will truly help you...unless you do a ton of reading. Playing with it will just make your system sound worse and probably have you coming back saying you blew something up. There is no one who can tell you how to set it up for one very simple reason. There is no one with a 2005 JGC with exactly the equipment you have. ALL the settings are there to deal with anomalies in your installation. If no one has the same installation they cannot tell you what the settings should be. One other thing. Again, since EQ's are meant to deal with anomalies that means they are meant to CUT frequencies. In particular with your knowledge level I would never use them to boost anything. So then the question you may ask is what do you cut? You cut the frequencies that are naturally too boosted or causing frequency response issues in your car. If you can't hear these with your ears then the EQ you have is completely useless to you even if someone who can sets it up. If that's the case sell it.
  10. If you can't calculate it and don't understand it, it's a bad idea. Standard ported is better for 99% of installations anyways.
  11. If it is to be mainstream, Kicker would be my choice.

    More like what is the benefit. A circ saw is more accurate and can be as fast. For what you need those aren't good options. A fence system and a sacrificial stand is golden for those measurements. The only thing you lose is that for each cut you need to spend 30secs attaching the fence, but that's it. A small table saw won't have a fence for big cuts anyways and is rather pointless once you realize it won't have the motor to cut mdf for shit, needs a $100 blade, and has a fence that is off by an 1/8".
  13. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    And yes, the new classified system sucks. Yikes.

    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.

    Just kill the heat after you flip. The pan should retain enough to carmelize the other side and then slow and cool for the rest.
  16. Ant even verified this, perhaps not ultra directly but there is a contract of some sort to deal with the AD fandango. It's the epitome of Ant though. Poor design, misunderstood, but argues about it. Really too bad because the rest of the products are stellar that Second Skin has.

    Changed my mind as I ran out of time. Went to Menards to look at deck repair shit instead.

    Bump

    Pre-orders are going fast. Get them while they are hot.
  20. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    Yep, 6. "Sport" version coming. Stopiing at a dealer after I finish my bento box
  21. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    About time. Ecoboost coming to the Ford Explorer. Bummer it's detuned to 350/350....so Ryan, that being said what can you do to a new one that is easily hidden so as not to void the warranty?
  22. ///M5 replied to Tirefryr's topic in Off Topic
    pre orders on shirts too?are they underated? if i wear a 3x should i get a 2x?? how would it fit if i order 6 of them? Perhaps just an XL, these are super duper underrated. I can't post actual sizes yet though, but someday in some future time perhaps maybe they'll be some tests and a spec sheet. They are SERIOUSLY underrated though. Did you get this info from the real world bench tests? If so, can you post a vid? I can, but I won't. I am waiting for real world verification of my real world bench tests which won't happen until next week. Of course, it'll be by dubious methods, but it'll be next week. Until you ask me next week in which case it will be the week after, and so on.

    They didn't make a 29'er in 1983... Curious what model. Close to 29' would be a 270 Sundancer or 260 Weekender. I used to have an 88 300 Sundancer with twin 305's. Great boat. Still fucking hate GM powerplants though.
  24. ///M5 replied to mrray13's topic in Off Topic
    What kind of Sea Ray?
  25. Probably because he still has some Alpha damp. Engineering nightmare that junk is. Too bad since the rest of what Secondskin offers is good product.
