Pictures of your new equipment

Thanks Lee. First time with a Birch enclosure and its crazy how light it is compared to my mdf box without a double baffle or bracing.

Looks fantastic.  How's it sounding in that box?

I havent even hooked it up Aaron, finally got all the pieces to my build and started having car issues. I been on the car hunt for a minute now, so build may be on hold. I already ripped all my electronics and wires from my current car, sold radio and mids so even more pictures to come as I make purchases. And hopefully a new ride by the spring for a build log. Sucks  I know but at least I have equipment once I buy a car.

Ahh ok.  Good luck on the car search.  I am looking for a daily driver myself.

Just the random issues of having a 18 year old car, it still moves around and gets me from point A to B. But the rack and pinion, tie rods and suspension needs work and are going bad. Just to a point where Ill be putting more money into it then its worth. I also live in an Emission state and the vehicle doesnt pass emissions anymore, so doing the work to get that going just isnt logical. I enjoyed no payments for long enough, guess it's time to get me something pre-owned.

 

If my car passed inspections or I was more mechanically incline than yes I would put more time and work into it.

Man I Love this Kenwood radio and all its features. 

http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/gallery/image/10069-20160528_140033_hdrjpg/

 

Some new speakers, for $26 I have no complaints. Cant wait for a front stage amplifier to get these things to life.

Needed some temporary mids to hold me over until I can decide on a pair.

Since I love these SB Acoustics SB29RDCN-C000-4 so much I got another pair.

This time around I'm stealing the trick from Diyma and making some tweeter pods for them, will help out greatly with on-axis aiming.

You need to do a full write up and review of the tweeters after you get some listening time on them. These are at the top of my list for a special project.

I have plenty of listening time on them but wouldnt mind doing a write up for you. Just know they made me switch from pro audio super tweeters, love everything about them.

Being an SQ guy at heart I'd never mess with those damn pro audio super tweeters in the first place.

Now those SB Acoustics tweeters are some sweet looking units and the word is they're really nice. It would be great to hear your opinion on them.

I currently have them in my A-Pillars aimed on axis, not too much worried about the passenger seat. To me their performance is better on-axis but could be too much in your face depending on volume or listening habits, so off-axis can be a plus depending on user. They are crossed at 2000hz at 24db, I could cross them lower but dont want to since I do like to turn my stereo up. Im using a PPI900.4 at 4 ohms to power them and an 80PRS for tuning. I havent played with TA yet too much.  

 

But so far Im in love with them, they can play any genre of music without much change needed in eq (I listen to mostly R&B,  Old School, Rap and some Pop/Country). Im not the best SQ person to listen to but in my opinion they give you the best of both words, output and sound quality. Compared to some other non-pa tweeters I have used. No matter the power level they put out great sound and they are really efficient. I ran them off head unit power with a cheap soundstream tweeter crossover and they still performed well (before I got my 80PRS). Im not trying to hype these SB Acoustics tweeters up but to me I cant find one downside besides size. But with my new mounting cups, its not an issue anymore really.  Im not the best reviewer but I would recommend these tweeters to anybody. I spent months on months reading reviews on the interwebs about them and pulled the trigger over 3 years ago on my first set. I even bought a second brand new set recently to use in my new ride. I soldered 14awg stinger wire to my current ones and the wire wont fit in the all-thread. So I have a used pair that I need to find a house project to use them in (unless your interested in trying them out and want to save vs buying new).  Hope that helps.

 

Aaron if you would like to add this to the product review section instead, fine with me as well. Just a short simple review, nothing too informative.

Got my port today as well as a decent deal on a kicker zx1500.1 that just so happen to come with some alpine type r's and some 1/0 cca  that has never been installed. Probably will end up selling it all. lol
