Nope, that was very adequate! You'll have to let us know if they help you catch more fish. I only have one pole with an open spinner reel . But I'm also still a novice, I still have yet to buy my first baitcaster reel. I also don't fish as many different habitats as you. For me it's pretty much just off the shore into either grassy/mossy or silty bottoms. I usually do most of my damage with spinnerbaits, maybe my rod/reel combo is the reason I don't get other baits to work very well? Of course it could also be my technique, I'm still learning the tricks with all of them. 4 major ways to fish spinnerbaits. 1) Rip them back fast enough they make a wake 2) Drop them to a depth (count down) and reel in evenly 3) Slow roll them across the bottom 4) Yo-yo fish them Super versatile and amazingly weedless. And yes the new rods help me catch more I usually vary my retrieve every couple of casts between moderately slow reel, fast reel, and start/stop reel. If the fish are going to bite at all that day (regardless of bait), I'll usually at least get a bite with one of those strategies. so I usually start my fishing with spinners and end with spinners, and just try different things in between. There have been numerous times where I've fished most of the day without luck but switched back to spinners as I was walking back to the car and caught something(s).

If the 150 doesn't blow there's no reason to make it higher. A lower amperage fuse does a better job of protecting the wire.

So each sub has dual 4 ohm coils? If so you can't wire an individual speaker down to 1 ohm, only 2. If you want more power you mismatched your amps to your subs. You'd have to get a different amplifier(s). But aren't those subs 750 watts RMS anyways? Adding more power won't do much for you.

So I take it you prefer wacky style worm rigging as opposed to texas? I use texas because I know how to make it weedless, which is fairly important for where I fish. A lot of times I only have about 2-3' of water above the weeds at the bottom, and I'll be stuck all day if I either don't use a lure that stays above that or is weedless. I suppose if you just don't pull the hook out of the wacky style rigging it is also weedless, but I imagine that takes a more powerful hookset to the get hook out of the worm in the first place and have it go through, as opposed to Texas where it is just barely hooked under the skin of the worm and can easily pop out?

Didn't he have insurance? If it was a dui it is obviously his fault no matter what. That's what I was thinking too. Matt, I remember you taking some pictures of it a while ago, if you show those to the appraiser so they can see the good condition and any mods/upgrades you did, would that help?

Oh yeah, of course. I don't know where my head was at earlier. I'll blame it on just getting back from a bar when I posted that.

12-16 sq. inches per cubic foot is definitely not an iron figure. Adequate port area actually just depends on the capability of the sub and just keeping the port size high enough to avoid port noise (chuffing) but low enough that it won't act like a hole in the box (this usually only happens once you get port size up near the Sd of the sub). So forget about back pressure. That's not the issue.

Those boxes on the right are only for a 6th order bandpass. Since you want a ported box, you'll only use the two boxes under "vented." I've never used that portion of the site, though. I just downloaded the actual program. I have winISD Pro.

Man the hippies were out in force tonight. They are becoming more numerous. There were just groups of them sitting on the sidewalk all up and down the main street downtown.

You need to hook the power wire to a switched source, such as ignition or switched power to the head unit.

Is your voltage dropping when it cuts out?

Did you touch a live power wire to the heat sink of the amp as you were hooking it up? If it's blowing fuses a lot of times that means there's a short inside the amp.

What do you hope to gain by fiberglassing the rear deck? Just for looks? I don't think that the dampening or fiberglassing will have any effect on the sound other than the back deck won't rattle as much, if it did before.

Yes, that's what you do.

If it makes you feel any better, my first car was stolen and totaled. Never recieved a penny of restitution and the guy got off because the case got lost between juvenile and civil court because the woman in charge of processing the paper work retired and left everything. All the while, collection companies keep sending me paper work over the years offering to get the money back, but take 50% of the restitiution. That was awesome. I really hope you are able to get some help here to get your car back. Man that's BS. How in the world could that happen. I guess if the kid has no insurance and no money, where would it come from.

Where do you keep finding these cars? Seems like this happens every time you go look at one. You're just looking for that diamond in the rough, aren't you. Look for ladies that just went through a divorce. Local paper, trader mags, Craigslist, word-of-mouth, etc. . . Turns out the Rivi is actually a pretty nice ride. I don't think it needs head gaskets either, just an intake gasket. If I can get a tow dolly for a good price, I'm going to buy the car. Pics if you do! But it's kinda funny that the basis of you buying it isn't on the actual car, but the availability of a way to haul it. Haha. Speaking of gaskets and since you're a Ford person, do you know how easy/hard it is to replace exhaust gaskets on an explorer with the 4.0 SOHC? I think mine might be bad. They leak a little puff sound when they're cool, but when the engine heats up I imagine it expands the metal because the leak goes away. I really don't have the tools, lift, or garage to do it myself, just wondering how much labor I might expect from a shop. Wonder if I should just have them replace the manifold/pipe/catalytic converter while they're there as well. Already replaced cat-back exhaust. Hmm, my $50 job just turned into $600. I'm not spending more than $600 to get this car home, so the guy wants $400; I'm not paying more than $200 to get it home. As for the Explorer, I have no idea on the gasket. Ford uses a stainless gasket and they almost never fail, so unless you're had the manifolds off, I don't see why they'd be leaking. Well I bought it with 150k miles so who knows what the previous owner(s) did. It has been doing it the whole time I've owned it, I just haven't really cared a whole lot.

Ouch. I wonder if the guy got decapitated. Doesn't look like much room to try and lay across the seats to avoid it. Especially since the engine is probably where the center console was.

And dig it out of your nose. That's gross too.

I don't understand that engine choice. v12 > rice? Some people ask why, others why not. I wouldn't have gone that route, but for under 10k I like it! Hard to believe it's only 10k. Isn't that engine about 10k by itself?

I finally replaced the ones that were stolen, this time though with custom sticks made for how I fish. How do you fish? Or maybe I should ask what custom mods you got to them and what performance differences they give you.
