First of all I want to apologize because this post is LONG overdue, but finally it is here. I have been enjoying this setup since the summer, but thought I was going to be going to get something else installed and so I was waiting to make this thread until I did, but I have not found anytime and its not really a priority in my life right now to finish this... I'm satisfied for now and probably over christmas break will finish.... So I purchased (4) SoundSolution Audio Dcons in the 10" size and a Sundown 1000D. I had a custom box built but due to having to put it in my trunk, I had to decrease the size... the box was designed by Shizzon (thank you immensely) and built by Freeman's Audio in Hickory.... Here are some pictures of the build, some final, some in progress... and a few more to come.... Also threw in a picture of my 15% tint for the hell of it... For the subs, they are loud enough for my satisfaction and sound wonderful. Ofcourse, if i had time, money, and invincible ears, i would build a louder system (and have thought about it) but it is louder than my friends can stand and loud enough to damage my hearing so ive decidied this is enough for now and within a matter of time, i will probably loose interest in being loud anyway and just want the sound quality aspect..... arrival day. hell ya this is before i put on the final black suede plate and the amp... this is before even the red suede shot of inside the box of the port and bracing. bare box. 15% tint all around...i will never own a non-tinted car again.

Wording could use a little refinement, but I think you have the jist of things. Correct, it doesn't matter which filter is set to the higher frequency and which to the lower frequency. As you approach 2nd crossover frequency, the rate of attenuation (or slope) will increase (or steepen). And I just want to clarify that you understand the slope of the crossovers themselves doesn't change. It is the effect of the multiple crossovers summing that increases the final rate of attenuation of the signal. Also want to point out that the word highlighted in red above should be "rate of attenuation", or "slope". Octave describes the interval between frequencies. The term "decibels per octave" is used to describe the crossovers rate of attention, or slope, (in decibels) per the interval between frequencies (octave).

Hrmph. I guess maybe I presumed you knew something you didn't when I was writing out my previous responses. Suppose maybe I should have began by asking if you understood the crossovers, slopes, etc Maybe this post I made a few years ago will help some also? http://www.caraudio....548&postcount=2 Let us know where you're still a little confused, we'll try to help

What kind of car do you have? The big 3 will definately help out

I would say just do the big 3 and that should fix the dimming lights
