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

Sometimes you just have to ignore people, some mock your likes for their own ego issues.. FYI, I have a 5500w System in mine, two 15" Planet Audio "BIG BANGS" in a MegaBox, on a Planet Audio 5000W amp. 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

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.

some do some don't- I don't know you or the other person either.
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.
