    He's an audio idiot as well.  All that stuff and it won't sound as good as a properly setup 2 channel.  He is showing you exactly how NOT to do it.  Too bad since the install skills used are pretty.

    Looks like they addressed this issue in post 18. Sounds like this may be a demo vehicle of sorts from some of the wording used in early posts. 

    "Question about the volume control... Did you lose control of your car’s volume knob, or are you doing this purely for EQ reasons? I leave the OEM volume at level 28 as it's a strong non-clipped signal before the bass begins to attenuate at higher levels. I use the DRC-200 controller installed in the center console for all volume and subwoofer control to avoid having my EQ change with the volume. This gives me a consistent sounding tune at all times. It's also how I toggle between the factory DTS Neural processing and a more traditional 2-channel audio system on the fly."

    So what's everybody into tonight or on sunday?

    Working way too much like usual. 6 days down another 6 to go before a small break.

    Swimming between being really thankfully and feeling really bitter about my situation.

    I think I know the feeling. Just figure out what's going to make you happy and stick with it. 


  3. I'm not much of a Chrysler fan anymore. Even more when i seen the robots they are using as of late. Just don't trust them. I'm a little biased on my manufacturing equipment though. Everything is built to a specification so I guess they would be fine.

    That is awesome to hear.  Thank you for coming to the forums and going SSA, it means a lot. :)

    Fyi... You are one of the members that helped me make that decision. So thank you. 


  5. The evil looked a little too scary for me. Xcon will be my biggest sub so far. I'm recently getting back into the car audio scene after an 8 year hiatus. Seams like so much has changed, just glad there is a place like this to get back up to speed.

     

    My local shops have not been overly helpful. They have the "pay and I'll make it work" mentality. I'd rather do the parts I know and get help with the stuff I don't. Biggest hurdle is time right now. Long hours at work for the upcoming future.

     

    Thanks for the heads up on delivery times ManzKea. I did read that in some of the threads already. I work in manufacturing so I understand lead time and what hand built involves (although I would love a tour if that's even remotely possible). Hopefully I'll have a few build logs from you guys to keep myself motivated till my equipment comes in. 


  6. Thank you for the warm welcome. I decided on the all SSA based purely on the forum participants. I'm the type that spends a few weeks listening to every speaker at every shop for hours on end... yes I'm that guy. Buying stuff I haven't heard makes me a little nervous but I know the depth of knowledge here can help me make this a great install. I'll probably wait till spring to start anything. Michigan winters with no heater in garage makes for very little motivation. I still have to figure out my head unit and a possible dsp and most importantly which vehicle is getting the SSA treatment. I'll start a build log when I figure out the rest of the components.
