    I spoke with the police, they laughed when I told them my Ibeam maybe illegal. They said it’s fine, maybe folks shouldn’t be hitting your mailbox

    Mine is mounted on a 4x4 in concrete and my understanding is it isn't really supposed to be in concrete.

    Doing a little expectation management. The sub doesn't hit as hard as I would have expected given the wattage going to it and previous stereo setups I've had with way less wattage, but I also have to remind myself I'm no longer 18 and don't need car alarm setting off bass. It's very well balanced and with the volume knob I actually end up dialing back the bass for normal listening, but there's that tiny side of me that just wants to go "LOUDNESS!".

    Well I just mounted mine on a 4x4 into a hole 40" in the ground with only 1 - 50# bag of quick-set premix concrete. The rest is compacted gravel. If it's not mounted with concrete the damn plows will knock it over, or at least make it list.

    The plow hits mine quite a bit. I've thought about moving it back a bit. I put it exactly where the old one was but then realized this sticks forward a little more. I have one of those plastic ones that fits over a 4x4 and the post never moves, it just knocks the box off of its base. It hasn't broken yet which is impressive for plastic - I just keep putting it back on which only takes a couple seconds.

    My kids bought me a new mailbox that looks like a giant fishing lure. I love fishing but not a fan of the mailbox. Told them I would put it up on a Saturday that’s not raining. Don’t want to but doing it for the kids.

    That's what I just put up. The old one was all faded and only 1 of 4 bolts left holding the box onto the mount so it was flopping all over.

    Hey that's the same plastic mailbox I just bought!

    Mine is touch and go with the plow guy until the snowbank forms into an ice wall. Then it's in there good.
