It just keeps sounding betters and betters. Heres a pic of the ride. Have owned it since brand new. Was the wife's first new car, and I adopted it once I bought her a new car a couple years ago. I wasn't complaining as the noise floor is fairly low and has lots of room for equipment!

Is the LS1 swap still popular? That would make a tasty treat.

https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_68892_MTX-5510-22.html check out the xmax, sensitivity and recommended volume on this guy. No pole vent either.

One built in the USA. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/approx-12-subwoofers/prescient-audio-td12-04-12-subwoofer-4-ohm/

The JL looks like a decent choice. Good xmax for a shallow mount and about as high of RMS as you could hope for too. Not a lot of ppl running shallows, so you may not get a lot of responses. But I could be wrong, still a heads up if no one else chimes in.

Good to hear you are back at it... and it's GO time! Excellent choice on the speakers and tweets. They have great power response and flexibility for blending. They should fit your tastes very nicely. Have a set I've been enjoying the myself.

Sold the car to friend for $500, with 250k on the clock. Sold the BTL on eBay. I have fond memory's and miss both of them. lol

More pics tomorrow... ran out of time today.

It's the thought that counts.

Hyundai is the true definition of planned obsolescence. my general rule of thumb for a beater is if I can get 20k miles for every $500 spent, I'm happy.

Adding a third amp and the DSP.

Adding a second battery in the rear.

This build is in a 2006 Nissan Xterra. I am currently upgrading a few things, so figured I start a build log. The equipment list at this point. Headunit: Pioneer AVH-X4800bs DSP: Alpine PXA-H800 w/RUX-C800 controller Amps: Memphis 16-MCA3004 on tweeters Alpine MRP-F600 for mids Alpine MRP-M2000 on sub duty Current drivers: Tweeters: SSA Evils Mid: Seas U18/RNX/P Subs: SSA Icon 15"s sealed Batterys: Super Start Platium 34/78PLT (front) Super Start Platium 48PLT (rear) Here's the pics!

Welcome to SSA! 1) Correct, on the co-axial. 2)Alpine would be top of my list, with the JBL next. I would pick Pioneer over the other two. 3) you didn't say the size so..... Alpine SPS-517 or SPS-610. I believe these to be built by Dayton and imo will have the best midbass. The R-S65 if you are after extreme clarity and detail, but with a light midbass. The SPS are power hungry, but will reward you nicely if fed correctly. 4)Both cone materials are well behaved due to the internal dampening properties of the materials. And will hold up well in a car door, if that is a concern. As Five stated above, a little damper mat and a wood/MDF/HDPE baffle will go a long ways in creating a good sounding install.

Ha. That's what I said when I was 12 and dad traded the go-cart for an 11 piece screwdriver set. Who the fuck charges 400-500 dollars for a set of screwdrivers? The snap-on guy, that's who.

Hey, I think I seen the Snap-On guy drive by!!!

One could be a monk on a mountain in the Himalayas or a truck driver in LA, and life will still have an ebb and flow of contentness and distress. Nothing there to be jealous of. No one gets off this planet alive! Yeah!

I cheated at cooking thanksgiving dinner and went to my sisters to eat. As much as I like hosting, I did not complain.

I buy a new 30-40 dollar knife every couple years. Run it down the steel from time to time. Once it gets rough, I buy a new one. Good middle ground i guess. At least I don't feel like I am trying to gnaw through stuff when I cut it.

gobble gobble.

They have came along ways since I rode last... which was like 12-13 years ago. damn time flys

Crazy cool looking rear shock placement.

Dude that's nice. Great placement of the GPS. Whats the secret with the white ski's?

Light dusting this morning here also. Although that probably translates to several inches at riding altitude.
