  1. Most quality speakers are marine grade by their very nature. Just means that their fronts are water resistant for the most part. Most automotive speakers in doors will see more water (on the backs) than any boat speaker.

    Considering he won't be driving underwater, there is no real concern. The fronts will be fine, and the back won't really get wet

  2. Can't wait to post pics....ill start a whole new thread. It won't have a MONSTER system in it but i do predict a LOT of Rockford Fosgate...definitely a ipad mini (or some other tablet) over bluetooth to a 3sixty.3. and a couple of their most efficient amps. Definitely a brand new XS Power battery will be the first thing i do. I like the color but i think it needs to be customized...might do some dippin' (on areas that won't take any abuse). Of course i have my vinyl plotter so i can cut any graphics i need. Oh man i am stoked!

    Dip actually holds up better than you would think to abuse

    I used to bedline cages, but it chips on rocks and such, and is hard to touch up

    Dip needs to be drug along something to start peeling, but is very easy to touch up if that happens

  3. Not sure how violent you will be with your kids in it, but those things don't take long distance rolls too exceptionally well.

    With your welding abilities, I highly recommend you remake the top cage with some thicker stuff to keep your noggin safe.

    They even have some great bracing on the front and rear to make a full exo, while still maintaining the bolt-on cage.

    Even the stock bolt-on tabs can be cut and reused.

    But this is Steve Meade designs, I don't need to tell you how to do things haha

    not gonna ride it like a jackass...my overly aggressive days (offroad) are over. At my age, getting hurt hurts WAY more then it used to and takes longer to recover from. I will prob upgrade it in the future because there is so much you can buy for it but i wouldn't put the word "violent" and "my kids" in the same sentence....cuz that aint happening. :D

    Even at my age, I don't WANT to wreck haha

    And violent isn't usually planned offroad, but it is good to be prepared for when it may happen.

    I have never wanted to flip offroad, but I have.

    Then again, sand is no comparison to mud.

  4. You guys needed to look on Facebook that would have help with the guesses as Steve gave a hint.

    i did too haha....i hit the like button on accident when someone said RZR....i hit unlike but it mighta been too late lmao

    I only went to facebook when you gave the hint, but didn't see a like

    N8 is the true winner

    He just didn't say "4 900"

    if the word 900 wasn't in it, he didn't win. I'm sure he don't give 2 shit's anyway, he can have a hat any time he wants :D

    I guess there is pretty drastic differences between the 800,900, and xp1000

    that's like saying Lexus IS, and leaving off the "F"

    Whole different beast haha

  6. It aint the first time that other brand has made an appearance. You dont have to promote what works. Go to a show and see what people are running. Youll see the same brand over and over again. Its not because they are cheap. Its not because they claim to float higher. Its because they take a beating and keep on going.

    ^^^this

    And the fact that their terminals aren't in a horrible layout for bus bars and terminal connections

  7. Almost every forum and group I'm in has been flooded with the "other battery" argument recently and it's annoying.

    I never see people violently advertising xs power. They just run them and have great results.

    I have zero regrets with mine. They far exceed their call of duty every day.

    I don't get why everyone is trying to fight that battle for someone else when they don't even run them.

    I'm excited to see this build get finished up, and silence such heinous arguments to this build.

    Keep the updates flowing!

  8. I know it's a dgaf car, but I still wonder why you didn't use your jasper for that beauty "flush" baffle considering it's probably easier than a jig saw anyway

    because it was an after thought and too late. To make the holes EXACTLY in the same spot as all the others, they pilot hole has to be done at the same exact time (drill through all layers) so it is fool proof. Honestly though bro, what does it really matter? I got it done. :)

    I just didn't know if there was a reason

    After I got my circle jig, I've never wanted to cut a circle with a jig saw again haha
