    I think i'm more concerned about the motorized part of the screen, cant say i have heard anything good about this type of receiver. Maybe i'll luck out and wont have any problems out of it. :rolleyes:

    I also decided to go with a portable security system, more effective and less annoying than the siren and horn honking type.

    It will run to two amps -12 inch subs & 6 x 9s, i'm on the fence about buying new subs, the ones i have are at least 15 years old. I have a majestic 500 watt and a crunch 600 watt. Not sure which one i should use to run the subs.

    If i can catch a break on the cold weather i'll wire the deck up and find out if it will work or if i gotta make more adjustments, i'm thinking it will be perfect though.
