P500 What did you do to/with your Pioneer 500 today?

How do you fasten it to the buggy?

I bungy it to my beautiful plywood box with the strategically placed eye bolts.

I posted this on the pioneer 500 riders page last night. I had to take my dog box out of my truck last night. I was going to set it on top of my basket rack because I thought it was always to wide to sit down in it. Well boy was I wrong. This setup is a match made in heaven. I have to put some 4x4’s in the basket rack to set the dog box up high enough where I can open the door. This is a match made in heaven.

It was an unusual day here today, near 50, so I decided to do some cleaning at our local range and was amazed how much trash was picked up; that is, when looking across a couple hundred yards, you see debris here and there, but when you put it into a pile, WOW. What was fun, I never had to get off the P500 with one of those trash pinchers you can buy at retail stores, just fun day playing on the range.

Met another P500 owner on the trails, Introduced him to HondaSxS.com. Hope he joins us.

Got my coolant changed, with much assistance / thread searching on this forum. Went with a higher mix, should be good down to -60 something Celsius now. Then again I tend to hide indoors at anything below -50 if possible

Got my onboard battery charger mounted and installed, really pleased with how it turned out. If I figure out how to post photos I will eventually.

Went with this model: https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GENM1-Waterproof-Battery-Charger/dp/B00CBTRN26?tag=sxsweb24-20

Easily worth the money for me, using the unit for plowing, running the winch with a single battery setup. Nice to know the battey is in peak condition every time I start it up.

Can't complain about the postal service or ups this year, almost everything came before Christmas.

Pods are already in the garage.

I put Polk 6.5"s in my boat. It was a very noticeable upgrade over the Clarions.

I've used them before and they were okay, that was like 20 yrs ago. The pros say that their sound rivals Infinity's now, and that if ran together, will actually compliment one another. Clean mid range is hard to reproduce especially in an open air vehicle but this is overkill and with quality components. This is all in on the stereo now, I'm going for a sound that you'll hear every subtle note, so clear and pretty you could pee. That's usually achieved at about half volume, the remaining volume is how much can you take?

I was wondering why every time I listen to my home stereo, I need to pee. HA!

They're definitely not a speaker for bass and I'm gonna need a sub for this summer.

Right back at ya!

I have 3 subs in the garage collecting dust and one has a 150 watt amp in it. You could be thumping for cheap.

Ohhhhh, nice! I'm interested. Especially in the one with the amp built in. Are any of them suitable for marine? They don't have to be because I have a dry place to put it, but it's good for backup safety.

Here's the one with the amp in it, Omega BT8L2, they don't make it anymore. I bought it used off ebay because it was the smallest tube I could find, it had to fit in the box. 9" around 17" long. 150 watts RMS.

 

[Deleted member 3748]

That might be a little big. Maybe one of the other subs and I'll get an amp. I could use a little more punch in the Pyle's anyway.

These are the other two, old Pioneer truck riders. Made to fit behind the seat of a standard cab pick up. I've had these a looong time, not for the speakers but for the cabinets. One has a Polk 8" that I put in it back in like '08. Had it on the rear deck of a Cobalt, it thumped.

 

[Deleted member 3748]

The tube looks like a better idea again! LOL I guess I could stick it in the engine compartment if it doesn't fit in the glove box. I'll text you about the tube.

Took my Toddler granddaughter for a ride. She saw the winch and said “Its got a hook! It pulls out everybody. Its a ‘Homda’ ”. Cracked me up.
