    Thank you very much for a very helpful/informative reply! The more research I’ve done has been leading more towards the Diana. Thanks again! 

    Can’t go wrong with it. I’ve had it going on 10 years. Bought it from 1 of the 2 major air rifle sites online out of Arizona. Paired it with a Hawke scope and many a rabbits pigeons and squirrels have been laid to rest. Plenty of value for the $500 or so I have invested in it. Definitely one of my lesser bonehead purchases

  2. After decades of daisy and crosman pellet rifles, my first real deal air rifle was a RWS Diana 350 magnum in .22 caliber. Plenty of stopping force for ground squirrels and rabbits. Not a horrible amount of effort to load this break barrel (don’t know how strong your kiddos are). I also have a Benjamin Trail Xl (much harder to load and heavier as well). 
     

    break barrels are cheap and get the job done. Mate it with a quality scope and you’ll be a happy camper. 
     

    I had a Benjamin Marauder (M-rod) but the cost to fill tanks with compressed air or to buy the high pressure air compressors with short life spans made me sell it off shortly after purchase. The high pressure hand pumps take all the fun out of it. 

  3. Hope that’s not the case for all special order trucks, I placed a custom order on an f-350 in March and so far have only had 1 delay, April 11th start of production was pushed to April 17th. I have a vin and just received the window sticker on my build.

  4. Ordered some hardware to make a couple more high lift jacks to keep in various places (I’m not the type to have 1 of something and move it all over). Jeff is a straight shooter and is willing to ship the parts which saves me in time and effort in traveling to San Diego to pickup. 
     

    if you don’t already have one of his sand jacks, get one. You won’t be disappointed

  5. If you plan on listening to music in your headsets, yes(stereo sound vs mono like all others are and have been). Beware if you spend the extra coin on the trax, to make sure all your headsets and helmets are also trax or you’ll have to buy cables to dumb them back to mono sound

    I was looking at the SSV micro amp you talked about in the other thread. It’s nice that it’s compact and easily fits places but it doesn’t look like it puts out much wattage for speakers. I mean a good set of 6.5’s that you would put in the pods have a higher RMS rating than the max output of the amp. I know it’s enough to run the speakers but doesn’t seem it will do it efficiently. 

    I agree, the power output on this is minimal. I use this because of is compact size and convenient control for volume and track change 

    it does have an audio output that makes it perfect to match up with nicer speakers as you grow the system. In its packaged form it will not power some wetsounds rev10’s but a $1400 tower speaker budget means you sound coin an amp that can match. 
     

    again if you are limited in space, and in general, very few multi channel amplifier for full range speakers put out more than 100watts quality per channel (this micro Bluetooth amp is maybe 25watts) 

    in a Rzr or canam space and  lack of stator (alternator output) narrow the market on available products that would fit in the trunk of a car or inside the steering console of a pontoon. The lack of a a true alternator also means you need something that is efficient on converting what little power you have to actual watts and not just heat… marine micro amps 

     

    I like Rockford Fosgate and JL audio’s MX line for this reason 

     

     

  7. I agree with both previous comments

     

    if you have a budget that will dictate the info and direction to take. 
     

    im in the process of setting up a small Ssv display with their micro Bluetooth amp and a pair of their house speakers and pods. 
     

    it’s at my shop in corona and will have a sole purpose of selling the right setup from the start. Also helps me know what: 

    “I don’t want anything crazy just some good sound” means. Then I can advise only what is truly needed and not disappoint.

    ^^^^^ I agree with above. 
    My stereo through the headsets while driving and then have a SSV works 2 speakers system for when we are parked. I think it was about 600 bucks. I don’t need the thumpin party music just some decent tunes while around a campfire or hanging with friends. 
     

    thi is the Bluetooth controller with built in amp I used. Works great and very clean. 
     

    https://www.ssvworks.com/product/universal-bluetooth-rocker-switch-audio-system-with-amplifier

    This is the perfect setup for under $1000. Cage mounted pods you can hear outside of your Sxs during piss breaks or bbq’ing at camp. Not enough to disturb the peace but a great complement to an accessorized toy. 
     

    I don’t agree with the car audio being just as viable as purpose built marine audio. Cost isn’t much more on marine, rather the “purpose” built is that for a reason. The linked Ssv amp/ Bluetooth unit, I stock dozens of for a reason. They are cheap ($180 retail) and effective. They can get hosed when washing your Sxs, the Bluetooth physical controller keeps your cell phone or iPod safe stored in a door bag (ever lost anything out of the removable floorboard drain plug holes? I’ve had rugged hand held radios wiggle their way through those holes). 
     

    marine speakers are designed differently than a standard car speaker, they will suspend the tweeter over the woofer (cone shaped part of the speaker) the purpose is so water and sand / dust don’t get into the sleeved portion of the speaker. That will dust over time and lock up a speaker similar to a piston in a cylinder. marine will typically cost 25% more over comparable standard car audio but again, it’s purpose built. 
     

    an Ssv system as mentioned would be ~$600 all Ssv product. most expensive part of Sxs sound systems is usually the enclosures. 
    Ssv $180 Bluetooth controller

    ssv cage mounted empty pods $270

    ssv marine speaker $100

    Upgrade to kicker marine speaker $150

    car audio kicker speaker would be $130 in this example

    Thanks for the reply, very informative. How will the system work in going through headphones while driving / other speakers while parked? I’m not much on the tech shiz and don’t have much luck with using my phone for anything other than phone calls or drunk selfies, would an IPod or similar device be a consideration?

    My advise is to get a Spotify (paid account, its like Netflix you can share a few with your family and friends). Than create all the playlists you like. Over time you should have a good amount of streaming music. When you are at home or on a wi-fi connection, you can download the playlists you create to your phone and store the music as if it’s your own. The beauty here is you don’t need cell phone coverage for you to be able to stream your (their) music like free pandora Spotify Sirius / xm. 
     

    deicide what you want your intercom for. I mean if you want to pair your phone with it to accept phone calls on a ride or if you are tip toeing around other campers and can’t resist the temptation to wait until you get out to crank up the tunes on a separate stand alone system, than I can see the sense in pairing your phone (music device) to your intercom. 
     

    once you have a stereo system, chances are you’ll use that for your music listening over your intercom. 
     

    only reason I mention it, is because you never know what your phone will pair to first (intercom or stereo) especially if you are not tech savvy, or are that guy that always leaves your Bluetooth and wi-fi settings on on your cell phone. 
     

    anyhow if you have a separate stereo system like a soundbar or Rockford Fosgate setup. You will no longer listen to music though your head sets. But a good sound system will still be loud enough to be heard over your exhaust, Engine, and helmet covering your ears. 
     

    highly doubtful it will drown out your wife yelling at you to slow down in your headset but that’s what volume on your intercom is for or you can simply not connect her helmet jack all the way 🤣
