A proper WHO system for your car

[Keithjmoon70@xxxxxxx]

Well, Pete did it.

He blew out my right speaker during his solo before John's on 5:15.  It 
started smoking and then went caput.

 I went to the car stereo shop and got my old system back and now I am back 
on the road to permanent hearing loss.  I now have the same set up I used to 
have in my previous truck. Only with 1000 watts instead of 250.  I have an 
Alpine stereo still though and it is fabulous.  I have never had a problem with 
this brand.

Do NOT get a boom box with a 12 inch speaker to listen our band.  Get an 8 
inch speaker.  (I have to word this very carefully to prevent Kevin from taking 
my words out of context.) ;-)

What I learned from my wife's boy:
Rap goes "Boom". The Who goes "POW".  A 12 inch subwoofer is way too big. It 
just picks up bass in songs that go  dooooooooooooon dooooooooooon.  The 8 
inch  sub delivers *punch* and that is what Keith Moon and John Entwistle 
deliver.  Now I figured out what was wrong with the system in my truck.  (I just 
lucked out and hit it right with my last truck.)

  The speaker that blew was a JBL.  That didn't make sense.  It was replaced 
with a set of "Directed" brand. I don't know much about it, but  they sound 
awesome.  The real cure for my ailing system was the proper sized subwoofer 
though.   Hard to believe, but bigger is not always better.
