But you have a battery hold down, so you're safe! Stupid PA inspection requirements...

I have a Pioneer 500w for the mids and highs, Electronic Crossover etc etc etc. Head units getting old and showing signs it's about to crap out, my multidisc CD player is under my rear seat drivers side.. That's enough about mine. I have used Boss speakers from Wally World in my YJ they were 12" on a RF Punch 150, they held up fine and I wound up giving them to my neighbor when I put in a new interior. anyhow moving along.. I Replaced my Upper Radiator hose it busted today, the Flange Gasket in front of the Catalytic Converter, adjusted my Serp Belt and a few other misc things.. Now I need to get another Electric Fan, I just replaced it last year..sheesh
never had any luck with planet audio. Found their subs to be underrated a lot. I burned up a 2000w sub with a 300w Rockford amp. Maybe I just got a bad one or something, but the alpine has held up fine.

Replaced my steering box spacer with one from C-rok that I got for free. Only broke 2 of the steering box bolts.
I may have heated the broken bolts up too much though. Possible leak in the steering box where the steering shaft is.

Picked up parts from the store, ordered a new front and rear vacuum harness, and ordered material and lights for the new roof rack I'm building. Now I'm headed out to put 2 new tires on it.

Yesterday--washed the mud off, bent some sheetmetal back in place, prepped a spare fender flare to replace the one that is completely smashed, replaced the fuel filter, bought a drain plug for my NP242-J/-WJ hybrid that has two switch indicator bosses, couple of other things.

New clutch and put the front accessories on. A/C will NOT be hooked up. Just need it there until I get a delete pulley.

Alternated might be going out, or a idler bearing. I need to get my steering tightened up too.
And replace the syncros in the tranny someday..

I was raised different, not to bash people over their ability to afford something you can or not.
Some call it Humor, Some call it putting people down....
Maybe I stepped into an INSIDE Joke- IDK, but now frankly IDC.
Enjoy your Evening, I am mine- Cya.

I've seen people Pushing the speakers with high gain to compensate for low wattage trying to get a bigger bang, and burn them up.
I learned the hard on a cheap amp trying to push some MTX subs in 1987 in my 68 GMC .
The P/A Big Bangs I have are the older 1800w DVC, and the P/A Anarchy Amp I have is stable down to 1 Ohm.
I haven't had a single issue in 4 years, but I don't use the Bass Boost gain ever, just my electronic crossover settings and O/A gain.
YMMV, we all use our toys in different manners, and forever **** happens we cannot control.
Enjoy-

Funny you mention that. Tx Inspection station tried to force a gas cap sale stating it was faulty. Last year, same inspector never checked cap. When I mentioned she didn't do that last time she got loud and stupid. I left and literally went down the street. Passed and on my way in five minutes.

Replaced/upgraded the headlight harness and on to H4's today. Liking the brightness but need to adjust the aim.

I had the same thing happen last yr on a new gas cap, I showed the guy a receipt where I just bought it at Autozone, and he said he'd make it pass..
hmm
