Better then feeling of food in my stomach , I like better feeling of one hour getting closer to wrap up my mods. Went for a lunch break and welded front frame caps. Now I like welding :). Was Scarry of getting shocked first time.

Yeah, I'm bending his ear already.

Sorry, I should've explained it better.
Best example I can give is the stereo in my truck. I have a deck, or receiver, tuner...It has 4 speaker outputs at like 25 watts per channel. It also has 5 RCA outputs. The 4 speaker outputs, I don't even use. My deck essentially generates no power or wattage. Just sends low volt signals to the amplifiers. I have a 4 channel amp that runs the door speakers. That's where four of the RCA's go. The amp is filtered for mids and highs.. The 5th is for a sub woofer amp which drives two 10"s under the backseat. Filtered for lows.
In the P5, I have the overhead system that has two powered 6" built in. Has RCA outputs for a sub. That's what you basically have too. I put in a tube sub which has a built in amplifier. Look up Powered Bazooka Tube.
You just need to pick what you want on the other end. You can run a separate amp and woofer but it takes up more room. What roc has is a powered shallow mount woofer. Made to go under a car seat. Which wouldn't be a bad place if you could find one to fit. It's not gonna hit very hard but a little low end is better than nothing. ;)

Maybe I should have asked better. If you had my sound bar, what would you buy to get a little more bass?

A shallow mount sub is the right idea to keep it simple. Just gotta get creative with size and where to mount it.
Okie dokie, I'll start looking. Thanks trigger, hope you don't mind if I get your opinion before I pull the trigger on anything that suites my fancy. :)

I used 3/8' UHMW heated in the oven to extend the blade 10" out on each side them mounted a strip of 3/8" heavy rubber from a truck mud flap to the bottom so if I hit something solid it won't damage the blade

Ok finally put wheels on, shocks, frame cutting , done, no more for a while, tired, tired :)

Used existing air intake to make my own, on vacation from this weekend, will write up build, and also need to find 1.5" frame steel clamp for spare tire rack.

Few guys who came to the shop, suggested to make a tricycle :) next mod
