    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Those are all huge. Full size pickup width, terrible turning radius and drive like a truck. Lexus without Android Auto is a no go as well. Add to that, find a nice low mileage one for $20k. I am cheap remember. If my tone sounds argumentatitve, it isn't meant to. Believe me I would love a different option. I have zero faith in Jeep. I've been in the Chrysler engineering building far too many times solving their problems for that. The VW has ZERO emotion. It is a fucking boring ass car....but it isn't for me and free's me up to buy a car instead of a truck. The worst part of all this is that the CTS-V's were $45k used a year ago and now $65k for the same car. Shooting myself in the foot BIG TIME on not getting one earlier. No way I will spend $65k

    Must be a 2 row machine. All 3 row vehicles FUCK the 2nd row for the 3rd. Must tow 6500lbs. Must be small. So far that leaves, Jeep, Porsche, VW. I don't have to like it. I will NEVER drive it other than to tow and that isn't a "fun" drive than anyways. This will free me up to buy a car or whatever the fuck I want.

    I can't even sit in the Fpace Only 5300lb towing as well. That and even behind my wife, my 11 year old is too tall for the back seat. I love the idea...tried, but no cigar. Plus, not sure you can get enough warranty to really drive one :L

    She wants the smallest thing she can get and I want her to have the family truck. Doesn't make the list easy to pick. Q5 only tows 4400lbs so our 6200lb boat won't work behind it and the Q7 is too big. Cayenne I don't want to pay to repair anymore. Over that shit. Explorer is way too big which leaves the Toureg or Grand CHerokee. I can't not at least buy an SRT if it is a fucking Jeep which defeats the purpose as she wants a car that I do NOT want to drive so she can have it how she wants. The dumb VW does that.

    Ha, no contemplating a Toureg. They have ZERO resale since they were discontinued and are functionally an Audi Q7/Q5/Cayenne with a different VAG motor. $20k for a 3-4 year old rig with less than 50k and a couple years of warranty sounds good to me....plus it can tow our boat so I can get rid of the big ugly finally.

    Looks like there is something wrong with your VAG.

    Bible is made of a bunch of stories from a ton of different religions. History is interesting.

    I know. 17.4 - 17.5 drives me nuts. I don't even mind the uber cold but ONLY if there is LOTS of snow. I can dress for cold and while I would prefer it to not be I will take that over 40F and brown nonsense

    Passive Front Stage Advice

    If not you could then address whichever components is the limiting factor. Loud is usually perceived by distortion or bloated mids/highs. Spending your money on improving the installation is critical.

    Passive Front Stage Advice

    Would be a waste of money IMO. You could fundamentally do that, but you will want to also add another LP to the mid so that one of them only plays midbass. Lots of $$$ for a little more midbass. Any other combination that way will just ruin the mid/highs. As for the first active as a 3 way, I wouldn't do that either. Running a 2 way active in a custom door could be killer.

    You said passive above. Active now? There are no 2 6.5" with 1 tweeter passives. Tons of difficulties with that. If you HAD to run 2 6.5's I would have one only play midbass...again no longer passive or requires some custom passive mods.

    Passive Front Stage Advice

    If you want a 3 way I would run a real 3 way...in particular if you are going to make custom panels.

    Yep. Have to remember not to use that on some of my wives friends sometimes.

    Interesting. I only liked team sports...but only if I liked my team mates. Otherwise I jsut don't care if I win at sports. I will NEVER let my friends down though.

    Passive Front Stage Advice

    I've never seen a passive set with 2 6.5's and 1 tweeter. Not trivial to build your own passive to do that...but it can be done. Your budget is plenty, but would be way easier and more logical active.
