    Vortex with Rotax ACE 300

    Yea the seadoo RXP/RXT 300 2018 uses that engine, been waiting a year for the ace 300 to find its way into jet boats. Looking forward to the day two ace 300’s are put in a boat the size of the old seadoo 200 speedster

    Subwoofer draining battery

    Improper wiring/amp not turning off doesn’t sound like the problem since from the OP’s description, this occurs after being out floating cranking some tunes You can calculate how long it takes to drain your battery so you can get a idea of how long you can crank the music before you need to...

    Tow Vehicle Tires

    Do you drive at max psi? When I went with 37’s on my Jeep (ridge grappler) I run less pressure then the smaller tires I had before I have never heard of a max tire pressure setting

    Asbestos Abatement Experience?

    It is possible the previous owner simply didn’t know I sold a property this past February which was a family business, a funeral home. The house my dad purchased in 1971 and when the new owner was doing inspections they mentioned asbestos in the basement and they needed to do testing. I have...

    Yea that’s why to me it’s more about pricepoint then brand A $995 75in from any company will look like crap And a $2,600 55in from just about any will look great

    Calling all TV Geeks

    For a while I think Samsung was leading the pack however there are better units out there now... It really boils down to your pricepoint. Depending on budget I would go with a smaller high end TV then a more entry level 70+ TV. But if you have the funds for a high end 70+ then they are all...

    Subwoofer comparison Wet Sounds vs JL anyone hear both?

    Probably need to compare the specs to see if it's worth swapping out the alpine More then likely I wouldn't expect much difference in low-end extension, might need to look at the enclosure itself vs swapping speakers.

    superchargers and warm weather???

    Some say there is a difference between gas, I haven't seen it however I also only use name brand gas station. Heatsoak is common on any engine, especially on a turbo or supercharged engine. New IC, exhaust work and all that stuff doesn't eliminate it, just greatly reduces it. These items...

    Jet ski bug

    Yea, I keep debating what to do myself. I had a ultra 150 which was a lot of fun (sold it 4 yrs ago) but it sure sucked the gas... we also had two older seadoo' s one of which had water fobia (ran perfectly until it touvched the water). I have been debating what to do, something small like...

    Yamaha vs. Chaparral - trying to decide...

    Hard to say one is cheaper w/o negotiang or working out a price on each. If one dealership is more motivated to sell, the more expensive boat could be cheaper.... or the cheaper boat could be substantially less and not just around 4% less Engine reliability or concern on extra maintenance...

    Cruise bike

    I won't be to worried about staying at or above a certain size engine. Get one that fits you best, is comfortable and has whatever creature comforts that you want. Presently I have a Yamaha yz450f motorcross bike and a Buell 1125cr. I really enjoy the Buell on the street however cruiser and...

    Scarab vs Yamaha, new vs used

    Possibly find out why the 14 owner traded or sold the boat, if possible try to talk to the owner. As stated a few people seemed to have reliability issues with the early scarabs Seems like the biggest complain I read about now is why not offer 2 engines in the 195 :) If you want the new one...

    Show me your Sub Enclosures - non free air

    Best way is if you want to use existing box, figure out the box volume and also port frequency. Once that's determined figure out what driver would work best. Some subs are better then others in regards to working ok or not with a ported box. Depending on size you could also simply plug the...

    Subwoofer size and location

    I have a pair of sundown audio subs for my Jeep, haven't used them yet but from what I found they were the best slim subs to mount under my seat, beet sitting my my bedroom for a year as I save for a amp :) That Rockville amp looks like it makes 200w at 2 ohm and 150w at 4 ohm... I would want...

    Subwoofer size and location

    If I recall winsd is a very popular box design program and there are a few others. To be honest I tried to use it and myself being totally computer challenged I had no luck! Last two subs I used were Morel ultimo and hybrid Audio Clarus. Both subs I was very pleased with.... the morel...

    Subwoofer size and location

    i would use a box design program and see what would sound better, 1.3cu ft sealed or ported. My experience has been manufacturer specs are usually in the minimum box sizemside if the equation, it works with what they suggest but a larger box will sound a lot better. Might be worth looking into...

    Class A/B or D amplifier for full range speakers?

    As stated class D tech in a amp can be great, it's not really A/B vs D but more about space/room available, power available etc. For home or car audio there are great A/B and D amps.... just like there are some crappy A/B and D amps Comparing a amp that's 80-90%+ effecient vs something that's...
