Er, well, if you had ever seen my mechanical ability, you might start
calling me a howler ...  :).

The door speakers have excellent base response, and with the amp you get
the necessary volume for top down motoring. (Especially essential when
cranking George Thorougood (sp?) on a back road in the summer time :).

Only issue I've had with the amp, but never bothered to call Clearwater
about, is a loud 'pop' when you turn the radio on and off. It's a little
annoying, and I should probably do something about it, (since I have to
assume this is not suppose to happen). Any one on the list have any
experience with this? Ideas on what I should do to fix it?
