Spike, I was under the impression MP3s are digital audio...?

and SJ, she's not bad. She just always wears those ridiculous $150 ugg boots. Why? I don't know, my $25 KMart steel toe boots do just fine for me.

i know what you mean,,,

why the need to wear stoooopid ugg boots everywhere and when it rains she freaks out because she does not want to ruin them. i live that crap all the time,,,,

I hear ya Spike, but driving down the road with crappy stock speakers annoys me more than the lower fidelity mp3. Most of them I converted myself from cd's at 192Kbs. With the amount of rock n' roll I grew up with I already know all of the guitar notes. I also play electric guitar so that helps too.

While we're on the topic, I also want to upgrade my speakers (after performance mods of course:D) to water proof ones. Anyone have any experience with them? sounds like crap or normal?

RE: Went off roading this weekend...
 

if you have a buddy with a good ski boat take a listen to his stereo. there is some really good stuff out there.

RE: Went off roading this weekend...
 

I'd worry a lot more about the electronics under the hood before waterproof speakers. Performance mods? Replace plugs (Platinum +4) and wires (Magnecor), replace the air filter with a new LR one (no K&N air filters). That's about it.

D2G, I'm doing plugs and wires this weekend, just did the filter 2 weeks ago. By performance mods I meant an OME lift, new bumpers (I guess not really directly performance related, but better angles help right?), lockers and such.

these are the speackers on my 04 ski natique : http://www.rocktheboataudio.com/html/31990.html
there preatty good, but i think you might need waterproof wire to. heres a sub : http://www.rocktheboataudio.com/html/35906.html , i know the white might not look good in the white/tan disco. otherwise our neighbors have a boat with SONY explodes in them, those are really good to.

Yes MP3's are digital, but in order to fit all of that music in such a small space they reduce the quality of it by taking out some of the notes, for a lack of a better word.
When the music is converted it goes through a process that takes out notes that supposedly you cannot hear. Well if you cant hear it then why is it there to begin with?
Its like making Kraft macaroni and cheese but you leave out the butter. you can eat it, but is it as good?
