I wouldn't be so quick to say that no design is put into them, you have to remember Fi designs and builds these.

thanks Jay-Cee

Drink coffee!!!! I do. Not sure how that is related though.

So the wife comes home with a bag which contained 2liter coke and a bottle of SJ. She must have read my mind! Damn she is good!

That is SG2 technology aka Super Gauss 2 that Scott was using for other applications and once that contract was done he brought it to the car audio world. Here is a link to the original thread of the SG1 introduction. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/30951-introducing-supergauss/ Hope this helps

it's a perfect fit , 3/16" wider and it would have been a bon fire instead of an enclosure

Sorry guys- been gone for a bit. Went to SBN a couple weekends back, and had a blast. Alot of bad ass builds. But my laptop went on the blink the minute we got there. Finally bought a new one yesterday. Then I've had all my boys last week, while their mom had surgery done, so the truck got pushed to the back burner. Any hows- what happens when you install fuse blocks and don't run wires to them for a while? you lose some set screws. bought enough to just replace them all. Then thought I'd run some wire today...and ended up working on my oldest boys truck. He jack the light bar off the pushbar I had on my Burb...and we put it on his lil Nissan I bought him. BUT- Tomorrow we are working on mine damn it! LOL

Nice!!

OK move along

Look what showed up today. Another impulse score.

Don't just say something if you don't plan on backing it up with some logical reasoning. I am not saying you are incorrect, but I do want to know why you think it will sound bad? Just saying your setup sucks is not helping the situation or providing any means of actually helping. I will be running both 2500d amps at 2 ohms like i previously said I was going to because I already purchased both amps. I think you all need to understand that this is a "show car," this is not a car i drive often (maybe 2k miles a year). Not only do I want it to sound good but it MUST look good. Many of you keep referring to staging and such, yet I do not really care about staging at all. this car only needs to be LOUD & CLEAR (No distortion and or vibrations). With the type of music i listen to staging is not really all that important anyway. I am looking more so for loud and just fill. There will be 8 tweets, 8 5 1/4s, 4 8s and the 2 12s. I'm not sure how you think it will sound like a shit show when it is all being professionally tuned with a good sound processor. also you can't really call it a front stage when most of the speakers will be in the rear in a soundbar like enclosure. Any other input? Audio 101 eludes you. Using any two drivers to play one frequency will create interference. Both constructive and destructive. This will cause a mess not only in the staging which you don’t care about but the frequency response. The sensitivity mismatch in your choices is idiotic. If you don’t understand that then you have no business in installing anything in your car. Your driver size choices are completely confusing as well. A 3 way has one major purpose. That is to get as much of the audible spectrum into a single driver as possible. You made this 8 and then picked a size of driver that will beam like hell and generally sucks donkey dick as a midrange. I didn’t add detail before because seriously you have one of the worst laid out “front stage” ideas I’ve ever seen anyone bring to a forum. No surprise that you find inspiration on SMD where the average forum goer doesn’t know his head from his ass and the whole forum is corrupted due to an owner that is keen to make money of noobs instead of educating them. Fundamentally there is only misinformation there not real information. Your LOUD & CLEAR will be loud but will be FAR from clear. Anyways, I only picked a few items on why it is bad there are a ton more. If you did what I requested though we could actually help instead of telling why what won’t work focus on what could. Your processor choice isn’t so good for this either.

Just people in general. I would have to say I think of Aaron whenever I see a Mazda zoom by me. That and baseball. lol

Also for all you guys who don't use Bilstein for replacements you might want to rethink it. On my passenger side shock the C-clip that holds the spring landing has a slight twist in the end. I called Bilstein and showed them pics of this and Junior at Bilstein said he is sending me out a complete new shock because that should have never happened. Bilstein guarantees their products 100% for the life of them to the original purchaser.

Reservations are made for the W's b-day dinner tonite. They are going to cover the table in rose pedals for me too. They claim the sea food is flown in fresh daily. She should love it as she loves the king crab legs. http://www.shanahanssteakhouse.com/menu/

LPF is personal preference, anywhere from 80-100hz will work.

Cables are rather simple. If you can't measure a difference electrically then there isn't. There is a reason manufacturers do not post electrical measurements as well. You can probably guess why.
