Just for fun, I took my gauge's apart and re-made the faces of the balast gauges. They are just like stock, They are black face with white letter's but at night the letter turn to red

Grant I second Gramps but envy youre drive and ingenuity.Oh yeah and youre very nice boat that has a stereo worth more than my entire boat....By the way do you think a 10w7 with 500 watts would sound alright in an 86 nautique up under the bow.In the box from JL or would custom be better?I figured you would know a little about this topic

Jeff,
I have a JL 10W7 with a JL 500W single channel amp in my boat. I feel it is o.k. but would really like to hear it with a 1000 watts pumped into it. I know the sub can hit harder than it does in my boat.

IMO" I think a W7 dosen't Even Work unless you have at least 1000 watts going to it. I had a 500/1 going to a 12 W7 and the speaker just laughed at it. It sounded like crap! I took the same speaker and box and hooked it up to 1000 watts of PPI it sounded like a whole diffrent speaker.

Jeff and Gramp's I know what your talking about.

I could either "A. Watch Reality TV for Hrs or "B. find new projects to mess with on the boat.

There both a waste of time, but B seems to be the lesser of the 2 Evil's

Grant. You are my kinda boat owner. I too find great pleasure in making stuff and modifying my boat. Great work and keep us posted with the pics. Also, nice choice in the subs. I too am a huge JL fan, although my boat does not have subs yet. I used them in my old yukon and loved them.
