We also love cars

Well I suppose that is true. I guess she finds me irresistible.

But we only have seven. As opposed to our good friends expecting their thirteenth.

Children are a lot of work but there is absolutely NOTHING more rewarding in life. Congrats on a big family. I am at 5 kids so far. So you win!!! Life is about what you give and not what you take or get.

Wow! That is a lot of cats. So… how many cats must one own in order to become the talk of the neighborhood? :wink:

5 apparently. LOL

We have two, so it’s three.

I lived with seven cats at one point. The social dynamic of a group of cats is fascinating.

The neighbors already had much more to to talk about other than the clowder.

Here are my Blue Jean cables - (2) 1150watt Brax amps w/ 2F caps per amp and Blue Jean cables that connect the Pioneer Stage 4 head unit to the amps in my 32 Deuce. I like those RCA cables, very low capacitance for long runs…




All that exposed metal on those speaker binding posts…I just think they could have thought of something better than that.

2 farad caps? Wow, them’s some big caps!

Impressive!
I used to compete in car audio back in the late 80s and early 90s. My car was the top points leader in a Western Canada in my power division 501-1000 watt class.
Soundstream, Denon, Audio Control, MB-Quart components and speakers back in the day!
Thanks for reviving some memories.

Yeah, there is a circuit included too… I chose a 175A Mechman alternator and a very deep cycle Northstar battery w/ 2aught wire for power. As with home stereo, power is important. Most use 2nd battery for stereo. I just looked at it as not having the room and a related rates math problem with energy movement. Using 01aught cable from Mechaman alternator to battery, then 02 aught to amps from battery.





Brax amps and (8) Brax Matrix cab speakers w/ dual JBL 10in subs in trunk. I am controlling w/ DSP under seat connected to laptop through USB. It was fun designing and implementing. I did all the stereo installation. The amp board is two oak boards biscuitted together, shape around the caps and routed, then ebony stained. I used VISIO to model the installation. This deuce has 300lbs of dynamat. The speaker wires are 5,000 strand speaker cable (~8gauge). I have a remote control for shows and load all my music into micro usb (5 for different types of music).
