    So I'm at least in the same ballpark then? Good, ive been reading up on cross overs. Enough to find out that narrow band pass ones are complicated. Is there anywhere I could just buy them?

    Sure, you can buy pre-made crossovers, but is it recommended? Not really. Every vehicle is different, so you'll need to tune accordingly if you're looking for good results.

    Ya, i talked to my Lowes couple days ago. He said their gravity saw isnt made for precision cuts. Its pretty much for cutting down sheets for easy transport.

    It depends who's running the saw. I had one guy do it for me and COMPLETELY ruined everything. The guy before him was 100% spot on. EXACT. Your best bet is finding someone local to you that does wood working and just pay them to do it.

    My dad is thinking about doing a full treatment in his Tundra soon. He just wants a nice quiet ride so I'm hoping to achieve that with a combination of 'em all.

    I did my ENTIRE Ranger. It went from sounding like a roller coaster, to a Cadillac.

    I'm interested in adding a pair of 6.5" midbass drivers to my kick panels. The 4x6's aren't cutting it in the midbass section. I like the mach 5 mli65's and Dayton DC160S's. I'm up to suggestions other than these two drivers. Any suggestions?

    The DC160 are an 8 ohm driver rated at 50 wrms. For the 18 bucks they costed me they really can't be beaten. What are you running for your tweets because that plays a major role in chosing which midbass driver would best suite your needs.

    The DC160 isn't exactly what I would call a midbass driver.

    What would you call a midbass driver? Might be a bit more useful if you could give some examples or information.

    Goto Madisound and look at the frequency response graphs.

    Actually i saw it first...i helped with the whole thing. this set up worked perfectly. fits right in the truck and looks killer.

    Now now..you both saw it at the same time. One of you just saw it in person.

    Thanks everyone! Hopefully in a few weeks I'll be ordering my front stage speakers. The amp rack is ALMOST the color of my truck. But I'm happy with it for mixing my own paint by eye. :)

    New Eclipse HU courtesy of Mr. M5. I just had time to play with it today, and it's WAY better than my Pioneer 880 in my opinion. SOOO much easier to use.

    Welded the amp rack out of thin wall 3/4" square steel tube. Painted with an automotive grade PPG paint.

    I put the subwoofer box from my last set up in just for some bass. This is NOT how it's going to be finished, lol.

    You know that if i offered you my ICON you would jump all over that sucker. I still love it so don't get your hopes up...i recommend the ICON to anyone who wants clean power. I would love to see what it sounds like in a sealed box though. Can't wait to get building ryan. Should be interesting

    You'll like the Dcon. :)

    Nice to see the materials in use. I love working on pickups - just a big box. Fiberglass is usually my first choice for sealing access holes, but yours look flat enough that you might be able to cut aluminum to fit. It'll take a lot less time. Very nice work.

    I'll probably do the aluminum or the cutting board method with rivets. I'll have to play around a bit. By the way, everyone should buy SDS products. Don is an absolute joy to do business with. With my stereo cranked you CAN NOT, I repeat CAN ABSOLUTELY NOT, hear the bass outside of the vehicle. I'm shocked at how well the product, when used right, works.

    Okay, well it's not a direct comparison on any of the drivers. So it isn't 100% fair. The Dcon is in an optimal sealed enclosure while the Icon was in an optimal ported. Icon was in the home theater, and Dcon in a vehicle. I just appreciate the overall sound of the Dcon set up. Don't get me wrong, the Icon is a PHENOMENAL driver, but at the price, you can NOT beat the Dcon.
    Just wanted to quote this for fun. :)
