^^Rockford T800-4 and 2 Kicker Comp 10's with RF T1's for Front-stage. Eventually laid box down so subs were forward and sounded a little better.


Now for the goods.

^^Doors in and wired up. Now u may be asking where the other tweeter is or why I have the component set and a tweeter set. Ok here's the BS. The crossover that came with the T1 set, tweeter input and output is fried. Tweeter works fine but when run through crossover, no sound. I bought this set not long after they came out, I've already got my money's worth I think. So I bought the tweeter set and will run it on the front channel while the mids are on the rear. My new amp rack does not have a spot for the crossovers so I will be deleting them.

Low!!!!!!! Anything above like 40hz is pretty quiet but it moves some air to be less than 2k.

I don't know man. Not sure what that is. Just looks like brick and grout to me. Not trying to be smart just don't know about stuff like that.

Nice sub man. I have been dying to hear a BL. I can not get it to model well in WinISD. Kinda makes me think it is very peaky around tuning and more geared for SPL. I could be full of shiit....

The updates are the carpeted amp rack and the 14 awg speaker wire.

The carpet I did not buy, I ripped it off an old box. I think it's pretty clean what do you guys think?
