AG Pool Audio System.

That sounds nearly ideal Phillbo. Have you had any trouble with corrosion in the connection or has it held up fine? I'm wondering if I'll need to solder on a terminal...

[Phillbo]

I've never had any corrosion issues.. I live in Aridzona though.. nothing rust out here

[sailork]

Yeah, I thought of that after I sent it. I think Gold rusts here in Houston...

I listened to the Yamahas and the Bose, and to my ears, the Boston Acoustics gave a truer, smoother sound. But, then again, the BA Voyager 6's are at a completely different price point. The great thing about speakers and audio in general is there is NO best, just what you like and makes you happy. That's what's best.

Malibu wire should be OK since it's pretty heavy and stranded, but I preferred to go to 14gauge multistrand. H-D sold it for $.39/foot, which is pretty cheap. I remember Monster Cable selling the same stuff for $16./foot! Yeah, really! Maybe they worked for BioGuard at one point? I try to keep everything covered. The boxes for the speaker connections on the wall are covered, too.

I use short jumpers with gold pins to gold sockets. The speakers are under the eaves so they don't get direct weather--and come the fall, they come down in less than 5 minutes with no tools.

Remember when wiring speakers to make the wire length to each side EXACTLY the same length, even if you have to wrap up a section of cord and hide it. It's very important if you want them both sound the same and not have to struggle with the balance knob.

All you need is a boat and you can be SURE your kids won't see college!

Presto! Change-o! See the bank account magically empty!

BOAT= Break Out Another Thousand

[CarlD]

Boat:
A hole in the water
surrounded by wood
into which you pour money!

[Phillbo]

sun, fun and thongs

Carl, how true it is. I sold my last boat the year before my first daughter started college. She is now being paid by Yale to do her doctorate work there. Daughter number two attended Berklee Music college and is now producing CD's at Jenson studios in LA. Daughter number three starts ASU in a few weeks. Daughter four, close behind, wants to be a vet. I have it worked out that I can own a boat again in eight years. Maybe just a rowboat, but I will be on the lake again someday.

Best to all, Dennis
