Are there no limits to your ignorance, JohnnyTrash? It really depends on what kind of music you typically listen to. For example, the speakers you like and listen to have an "airy" sound to them that are ideal for classical music and for lifelike reproduction of acoustic instruments (guitar, etc.) along with vocals. However, they are not that great for the lifelike reproduction of hard rock with loud electric guitars running through distortion pedals and piercing vocals. For that, any cheap system works just fine. Trash in = Trash out, faithfully reproduced, of course. Back in the late 50's and early 60's as "hi-fi" became a big deal, speakers became generally categorized as being a "West Coast Sound" or a "East Coast Sound". West coast speakers were brighter sounding, some using horns instead of a paper mid-range driver whereas East coast speakers were softer sounding in the mids, producing a more "lush" sound. I suppose the reason was the growing popularity of rock and roll and "surf" music that originated on the west coast. In those days JBL was probably the leader in the "west coast" speaker sound. East coast speakers included Jensen, Electro-voice, Advent and eventually Bose in 1968. Never been a fan of most of what is called "hard rock" music. Plus, I don't listen to the music I like at really loud levels. |

I don't know of any speaker ... large or small, expensive or not, that can accurately reproduce "lifelike" bass pedals tones of a pipe organ and that includes your maggies. A good sized, powered subwoofer might helps at low volumes but it really doesn't matter anyway because the recording of the pipe organ can't contain the full, "lifelike" tones to begin with. You are trying to reproduce something that isn't there. The system I had at the guitar shop's performance stage consisted of a pair of powered JBL speakers (700 watts each) that had horns, midrange speakers and 15" woofers. In addition, the system had two, 18" powered JBL subwoofers at 1000 watts each. They wouldn't be able to accurately reproduce the "lifelike", full range and intensity of a pipe organ either. I had a B3 Hammond with Leslie on the stage that was "mike'd" to the mixing board which, in turn, fed the audio to the JBL mains and subs. Did a decent job but it's still not a pipe organ. |

Cool. You'll want to make sure that bimini is through-bolted before you do much bouncing around. What is the 'track storage system'? Haven't heard of that. Came across this while trying to figure out what that was: http://www.boattest.com/review/bayli...175-br_rel2234 The reviewer might have had some ideas you could use. -- Ban liars, tax cheats, idiots, audiophools, and narcissists...not guns! |

If you can get to both sides, an aluminum plate is better than washers. I usually mark and drill the first hole, run a bolt up on that one then drill through the existing holes for the rest,. Then they always match up ;-) Old road signs are great pieces of aluminum for this kind of thing if you can find them. Usually you can talk the DOT guys out of the old ones if they were bent up and replaced. I still have a pretty good stash from some guys I talked to in front of my house who had a few in the truck. I got 3 of them that were 30x30x1/8". They generally come in 2 grades, 3/32" and 1/8" but the big ones on the freeway are even thicker than that. Those Nav markers I made for some missing ones in the Estero Channel came from 2 of them. I just laid them on my anvil and hammered out the bent up parts. http://gfretwell.com/ftp/new%2034%20signs.jpg http://gfretwell.com/ftp/new%2034.jpg |

"Cool. You'll want to make sure that bimini is through-bolted before you do much bouncing around. What is the 'track storage system'? Haven't heard of that. Came across this while trying to figure out what that was:" Guy at dealers says it's a storage system mounted below the gunnels on inside bulwark. Somewhere I saw nylon mesh bags hanging there. Probably changes from year to year. |

OK dummy...list those three dozen countries that are in North America. Does the heat down there fry everyone's brain or are you just a weak link? If you start in Panama and include all of the islands you end up with 23 "I remember from high school many years ago that is was over 30 - trick question, of course. It turns out that there are more than 30." Greg is correct, dummy. You can't count dependent territories as countries.
