    Getting my truck ready to be the head of my daughters dance team in this weekends parade. Testing out hooking up one of my PA speakers to the amp in the rear, I am going to test out my 2 giant PA speakers also, while the single 12inch JBL will be more than enough, the visual impact and bass from running a pair of 15 inch Yorkville PA speakers might be a better choice.

    What kind of music do you plan on playing? You do realize that a sub only does low frequencies, right?

    I am very aware of how a sub works... are you aware of what a PA speaker is?

    What’s a 12” JBL? Giant tweeter? Yes I realize they make horn tweeters, but no one calls it a “12” JBL”

    Since you added to it, yes people do call them a 12 inch JBL, because the woofer in the cabinet is 12 inches.

    rotated tires changed oil threw out the old air freshener.
    Just a note: A Bose Wave draws 120 watts. That is more than the standard 110V inverter will supply while driving. ;-)

    Its hooked to a 12 volt amp inside the truck. Using my DSP I can lower the volume of all my interior speakers and then set the mono amp thats normally for my subwoofer to play full range to the PA speaker.

ARP extended studs (not installed yet), Optima Red Top, Siless Insulation in cab. Diode Dynamics LEDs throughout... More titanium fasteners. K&N intake snorkus delete. Greddy hose clamps throughout. DBA 4000XS Brake Rotors. TRD PRO fogs. Dakine Tail Gate Pad. More to come of course.
    Agreed! Though I had to purchase longer charging cords and rearrange the accessories a bit.

    Grew a set yesterday and drilled out a hole for the Spod plug. managed to use the access hole for the 3TPAM internal bracketry. With the grommet removed, I still have space to access the bracketry to tighten it properly during installation. Touched up the hole with Rustoleum Vending Machine Black and a fine tipped modeling brush. ( A great color I found that matches matte black powder coat during my Subaru days...)
    Now to install and hook up the Spod. Yee

    I wish Baja Designs would get back to me with where they source the braided material for their control cable. Its really robust and looks really nice. I'd like to use it on all my lighting wiring.

    Hey @grambo911,

    With the braided material for the sPOD control cables, they are braided by a machine from our vendor. If you are trying to find something that is nice to work with I would recommend checking out
