Now THIS is what I like to wake up to!!!!

YES SIR ...

agreed, the fountek should be great in the A-pillar. and they have a relatively low mounting depth compared to some other drivers, which should allow me to keep the pods smaller and less obtrusive.

still on the fence with kicks vs doors for midbass..

there isn't carpet behind the stock plastic kick panel so the midbass would be vented out (no idea where to, firewall perhaps?). i could seal up the kicks as well i guess. also, i wont have to deaden the doors as much.

i remember reading about how it is better to get the midbass as wide as possible for the best staging. is this true?

doors are limited by a 3.25" mounting depth.

If you are running a full ranger, I wouldn't worry so much about the midbass for staging reasons. Crossing under 3-400Hz won't affect it much. I would instead consider where you can get them more volume behind the drivers, if the kicks are truly vented outside and you can seal it off that would be my pick.

I'll take a better look at it soon. Thanks for the help!

tried to cut some of that post down..

so im a idiot. mounting depth on 6.5 sls is 3.30" so they will fit in the doors. im not going with the kicks because they would need some work to even get sealed up well and they may vent outside but they also vent up behind the dash.

anyways, i think i will go with the sls in the doors, founteks in the a piller..

question on processing. im trying to spend about 200 on the head unit. alpine cda 9855 is at the top of the list, i also know the 9853 is an option but after showing my brother them, he liked the screen more on the 9855. the price difference is not much of a difference anyways.

so far i missed out on two 9855's on ebay. there is another coming up in a little over 1 day that i will try for.

i was also considering some other options.

im wondering on what you think of a alpine cda 105 and imprint combo? lowest price on ebay is about $235 (buy it now items). however, for about 170 you can get a 9853 with, what appears to be, the same functionality. (guess i answered my own question)

pioneer prs 880 and 800 seem to be going for a little more then what i would like to spend.

i think i'll try a wtb thread as well.

Make sure you check the tweeter channel high-pass in case you want to use full-ranges or even a passively crossed mid / tweeter combo on that channel.

thanks for pointing that out, i believe most alpine decks are stuck with a 1000hz highpass on the tweeter channel. so i went with an amp to handle the highpass on the full rangers (us acoustics usx 2080 from audioclinic).

Actually starting with the 9835 and 9833 higher end Alpine decks have an option to run any slope and any tweeter HPF. The Pioneer 880 on the other hand can't go lower than ~1k.

oh ok, must have confused something when i was researching them.

seriously, who gets pimples on their scrotum; when I popped it, it had so much pus* in it that looked like I was cumming directly through my sack

*I know its not pus, but I can't remember the real name of the fluid

Sebum is the word your looking for.

[j-roadtatts 1,129]

I hate ppl that don't pop their pimples before coming to get tattooed. I just shave em off, as I will be dealing with their blood anyway's.

Can you use the t/a and eq without the crossover being active on the tweet? If not....ugh.

That was not appealing as a treat to read during breakfast J

brisket is in the smoker...dogs are huddled around it like the monolith from 2001...

[dem beats 1,223]

LOL

That's awesome Peng. Jack doesn't go near my egg. He doesn't beg at all actully and for that I'm glad. A 170pound begger would be horrible.

[Penguin4x4 1,761]

love the smell of pecan in the morning

[djjdnap 78]

[topgun 262]

LOL

That's awesome Peng. Jack doesn't go near my egg. He doesn't beg at all actully and for that I'm glad. A 170pound begger would be horrible.

He could probably just open it and eat the food if he was so inclined.

Yup, or just eat the egg itself. It probably tastes like meat and smoke with how much I use it.

If it didn't make more food I would probably eat it.

Whoooo

Fucking WIN!

Bag the head

The Donkey

Barack Obama was touring the countryside in his chauffeur-driven limo. Suddenly, a donkey jumps out onto the road, they hit it full on and the car comes to a stop. Obama says to the chauffeur: 'You get out and check, you were driving.' The chauffeur gets out, checks and reports that the animal is dead.

'You were driving; go and tell the farmer,' says Obama. Hours later, the chauffeur returns totally plastered, hair ruffled with a big grin on his face.

'My god, what happened to you?' asks Obama.

The chauffeur replies: 'When I got there, the farmer opened his best bottle of whiskey, the wife gave me a slap-up meal and the daughter made love to me.'

'What on earth did you say to them?' asks Obama.

'I knocked on the door, and when it was answered, I said to them, 'I'm Barack Obama's chauffeur and I've just killed the jackass.'
