Once Again, EVERYTHING look's amazing. Your patience AND planning REALLY show's in the final product.

yea!!! time to go home!!!!!

Go to Kinetik's site and use there calculator, that is what it is there for. I didn't even know they had one, thanx Jay. (+1) I am using XS Power So i just called Nathan on the phone because I like to have stuff explained to me from real people.

THat's alotta bar mang.

Lookin' good. I can't wait to do my doors! I was wondering if you glued the CCF and MLV down? Did you glue/tape the seam's and edges? I just got done wrapping the rear wheel wells and that alone cut my road/tire noise in half in my car.

Take a look at these, Will help you understand what you need. I think with audio battery's what's more important is max amps available at once and the rate at which they are capable of charging/discharging. Battery Ratings and Info - SSA Car Audio Forum I Have a XXXXXXX watt sytem. What battery do I need? - SSA Car Audio Forum I KNOW you are using Kinetics but the info is the same. Other wise I would call Kinetics customer service and they will help you better than ANYONE on here as they are MOST familiar with their own product and will explain your different option's BEST.

That's Beautiful in black. I use to want an Eclipse REAL BAD, back in the day.

isn't spring just starting? 3 week's away 4 me. I am heading south too, should be nice.

I will admit I am wrong in saying welding wire isn't as gOOd if not better than audio wire. I have NO fact's to back my statement, and have read both topic's about welding wire in full. I assume MOST people choose thier power because of cost. I will be the first to tell you thier will be NO audible difference from power wire. I choose my wire because of amp rating and Color, yes Color. (I hate red ). Yes I am a Young Bull.

Interesting, not here. LOL. Although I've had better Mexican food up here than in Texas. And more authentic. I've had super bad luck eating in Texas in general though. TEXAS..........Well there's your problem.

to be fair I can eat authentic or Americanized versions depending on my mood, just no Taco Hell No of that Grade D shit for me brother.

You would get laughed out of the Aspen Valley if you opened an americanized mexican resturant, We have more Mexican Grocery store's than american for god's sake. other than Qdobe because that's where all the State Patrol and police eat.lol.

When I stared this topic, I had been tossing around a ton of different Idea's for my front set up, just to get the ball rolling. I already have some 6x9 mid's is why I started the topic with just adding 6x9 midbass, because when it come's to output there's no replacement for displacement. Well As soon as I opened my mouth, I started anwsering my own question's.(as usaul, I am a young bull) I have took note's of EVERY piece of info provided in this topic, and spent ALOT of time reading about how speaker's interact with each other and themself's. I am as sharp as a tack when it come's to math, and have SOLID understanding of the x-over point's, order's, frequency's and octave's involved. I on the OTHER hand am TERRIBLE with word's and terminology SO please bear with me. As far as tuning, I am only held back by my lack of experience and knowledge, not lack the mathematic skill's. As far as install I am only limited by my own desire's. (and money ) This will be my first set-up with No back speaker's, so I am sure it will take a minute for my ear's to adjust. But I am REALLY EXCITED because I think ALOT of my problem with the destructive destortion was the rear's. I am also excited to use the H100 to it's full potential and think ALOT of what I am Lacking could be accomplished by going active. This will be my first active set up So I do think K.I.S.S. is important, Also I Know I will be happier with the point source set-up. With all that being said, I Will play around with the type-r's some more to get use to the front only sound, but will ultimatly probably be installing some 3 or 4 inch fullrange's on the dash and an 8" mid-bass in the door. As far as output, 3" fullrange > 1" tweeter and 8" mid-bass > 6.5 woofer, SO I think i should be happy by the "no replacement for displacement" rule. I like to listen with the response curve as flat as possible other than my sub peaking the VERY lowest note's. I starting to realize I like the more natural sounding speaker material's and what they bring to the table. As far as fullrange Speaker choice's I am leaning torward's the TB w3-1318SA, or the w3-1364S. I think the lower Qts of the 1318S will be better in my app.? but am not sure? As far as a Midbass choice's I haven't even began to study what make's a good mid-bass for MY app.? As you can see I am taking my time as to understand everything I am doing. Thank's for the input and knowledge, I take this matter VERY seriously.

gOOd read. Thank's 95Honda.

All this talk of food and NOW I'm hungry. I am just getting off work right now.

HA HA free vote 4 u, I hit the wrong button. Anyway's We got A gOOd cajun joint, it's been here forever, two authentic chinese/sushi resturant's, An authentic Italian one also, ALL WITHIN A BLOCK of where I'm workin'. I alway's have a hard time deciding what to eat. When We go to Phenix We eat ALOT of REALLY gOOd mexican food, probably closer to what you are use to.

Brother I live next to Aspen, There's probably more Mexican's here than what's left in Mexico.lol. LOT'S of authentic Mexican restaurant's. I had Chinese again for lunch, Kung Pao Shrimp. It was gOOd.

Welcome to SSA. Don't forget to make a build log with picture's.

So do you or don't you recommend going without washer's with the allen bolt?

I am finally going to have the front speaker's playing again and probably a few day's without a sub for testing. My question is when testing different phasing combination's on the front comp's to eleminate the suck hole, Do I want the T/A on or off?

Do I have to use washer's with the allen head bolt? I like the way IT looks without washer smashing the surround, I was going without but seen you guy's talking so though I'd ask. Thanx Nick.

Thanks Impious for Awsome spoonfeeding, you sure know how to make thing's short and sweet.LOL. I already knew this stuff myself but couldn't of put it in less word's if I wanted to. I am GREAT with math, but poor with word's. As usual YOU only speak with GREAT INTELLIGENCE. (yes you always get my vote) Some of you guy's make me feel SO HUMBLE, and remember I am a young Bull. Anyway's I have the PXA-H100 hooked to my Alpine CDA-9886 and LOVE having ALL these control's on the HU, make's tuning a snap. Good enough for the average person, i.e. T/A, Both kind's of EQ w/Q factor , 3-way adjustable crossover with gain control, subwoofer level, and phasing with push of the volume knob, just to start.(yes the list go's on)

Your better than me Chop, I am only good to about 40-50 ft. I seen your pic of you at work and said fuck that, I will deal with blood and assh*le people over that anyday. You gotta love the rush though.

Or aleast your only mad at yourself when YOU fuck up. I did construction almost 10 year's and my BIGGEST PET PIEVE was a fucked up cut. (or unplugging my cord, hose, Or just looking at me wrong.lol)

I choose the mexican, I have already eaten Chinese twice this week.
