FAE Group Buy

[DieselPWR]

What's the point of dumping money in to a stereo if you don't turn it up loud.

The point is for it to be loud, not look loud.

Its loud when I drive!! Just not when the wife drives, which sucks cause that's when I am 70 ft behind the boat and need it loud!

Tone the cabins down and let the towers scream, the Wet Sounds are pretty good at not filtering into the boat too much.

Stupid question but why does it cost so much? I paid $600 for a complete exhaust system for my Corvette and there's probably 20' of pipe in it vs 3' in this deal. If it was $200 or even $250, I wouldn't even hesitate to buy one but $400 is quite a bit overpriced.

1 word..........volume!

Same thing, more vette exhausts sold then FAE's.

All the money you guys spend on boat stuff, stereos, boards, vests, ropes, ect. and you're still trying to justify $400 for the FAE. Christ, a new wakeboard, blank, will cost you that. The value is in the results Dude. I'm not trying to rip on those that use this argument , I'm just totally confused by it. FAE's kickass and that is all there is to it. $400, $500, $600 whatever, just sign me up 'cause I aint ownin' a boat without one.

That's nuts. If they get to $1,000 is it still worth it? A few people on wakeworld estimated all the costs involved to make it and at $350 it is worth it to buy but if it goes to $700 you won't see a lot of people lining up to buy.

I'm right there with you. You can save a lot of money by eliminating 90Db + from the back of your boat. That's 90Db + you have to add to your tower stereo. If that doesn't work, surfing without one is just stupid. Not so much for the rider as the passengers in the boat. It's absolutely amazing how much fumes end up in the back of the boat from the station wagon effect.

It's a deal at $400, but like NICKYPOO pointed out, I'd pay more now that I have one.

Like I said, I don't really care. It's worth every penny to me. I don't particularly like sucking exhaust fumes but, if someone does, that's their right. I just don't think it's fair to everyone else on your boat to make them breath that crap. I find that downright selfish and stubborn. From the drivers seat I rarely smelled exhaust but, when I jumped in the back, I felt awful for making everyone breath fumes. Putting on an FAE was the least I could do for some of the most important people in my life. But that's just me.

You can't smell or see CO fumes... If you're smelling fumes, it's from something else!

True, but if you can smell exhaust fumes, you can bet that CO is also present in the "mix".

And it's for a boat everything costs more...

I do. I have the WS420. Its the screamin metal that makes it "louder". Funny when its gwen stefanoi playing she can magically stand the higher volume.

Point is I am pumped to try it out and hear the stereo even better. Installed it last weekend, testing that and the ballast friday.

I didn't mind the 400. Money seems to flow freely when it comes to upgrading toys. I did think it was weak that it didn't come with bolt sleeves!!
