Thanks, I'm not planning on running through the wizard then calling it a day. I read the entire manual today, it looks pretty awesome, I think after installing it, people could call me a "tweaker" and I couldn't take offense to it. For anyone else looking for an ms8, sonic electronix has them for 499, and you can submit an offer right below the "add to cart" button, try submitting around 430 and it should come back with a price in the 460 range.

I wouldn't worry about AP. They can be a bitch to properly tune (getting the right density/restrictiveness of AP material to optimally affect the response) and IMO with a high quality driver and proper consideration to installation and tuning equivalent results can be obtained. One thing a lot of people do which I've done in the past is almost a pseudo-AP enclosure by venting the kick directly into the carpet (if you're not willing to vent outside the vehicle). This gives the driver a little more breathing room and can also reduce some of the internal reflections within the enclosure. Hypothetically say I vented outside the cabin, how large of a hole would be required, could tubing be used or would it be too restrictive. Otherwise I'll leave ~2" diameter hole in the bottom of the kick pod into the carpet.

I forgot about mentioning best imaging for soley the driver or both seats, I'm just planning on both seats. I'll try aiming for the center dash / headunit, tweeter on bottom. What about an aperiodic membrane on the back side?

Poor guy, he's at his families farm for the weekend, as far as I know, no internet.

Lulz Well of course..

Over the course of a few years, I've seen many different positioning ways for kick pods. Is there one way that's the best for imaging but due to the different dashboards on vehicles, you see some positioned differently? I'm assuming it also depends what speakers are mounted in the kicks. I'm using exodus ex-anarchys for midbass + midrange. http://www.diycable.com/main/product_info.php?products_id=538 I'm using peerless hds tweets for the highs. http://www.europe-audio.com/Product.asp?Product_ID=5233 Due to the size of my kick panel area and the relatively large mid driver, one of the drivers is going to be slightly tucked under the dash. I'm assuming it's better to "tuck" the mid driver, where as the tweeter might "go crazy" with something in the way. As you can see, it won't be tucked in much... Now onto firing angles. Green: fire across to the opposite seat. Purple: fire to the same side. Blue: fire directly into the "center hump" in dash. So would the green be the best way for imaging? Or is it something that I should test out?

Are you trying to get really loud?

Thanks Lithium

Julian, are you Kevin's bitch handling team applications, or are you getting something in return?

thanks! man dont happen to have a sweep do you? http://www.bitcore.org/stuff/Bass_Tones/Bass%20Test%20Tones%20-%20Linear%20Sweep%20100hz%20-%2020hz.mp3 Google'd and found that one. 100hz - 20hz.

This should work: http://storage.stefanhinote.com/AA.net _Test_Tones.zip Don't pay anyone anything for something that's free and widely distributed.

A lot of weird shit happening in Tucson and phoenix this week...

Godsmack, you know anything about the lockdown at davis monthan?

You can't cut them in the center, add a pvc/abs coupler, add some pvc/abs pipe, and lengthen them? If I ever do add bass to my car, I'll probably tune around 39hz.

Man, that 97t5wagon is a complete tool. I wonder if people like that ever wake up one day and go "holy shit, what have I been doing"

It looks like you have space to make the ports longer, thus reducing the tuning frequency.

This sounds like a good friday for everyone. Finally just took a shower from mountain biking lol, got home took everything out of my car, boxed everything up, printed four different packaging slips, dropped off at postnet. Ahh yeah!

Have fun with the animals. Seriously though, enjoy the weekend and thanks for all help.

well shit, you are still whining about going active or not. Just Oh I'm not whining about going active, I'm DOING IT, I just wanted your help before I ordered everything and then had you say "you should have gotten this instead" and me going "oh well it's already ordered." So fuck yeah! I'm ordering everything now, ms8 for super cheap!!!!! Pretty stoked right now.

Jesus christ you guys are still talking about boots.

Pure WIN right now, I got the ms8 for $460 brand new, not on ebay either... WOOT WOOT

Yes, its "enough". At full tilt you may be off a few dB's from your potential but that is easily rectified later if it bugs you. MS-8 > 360 anyday of the week, although don't get caught up in the automatic setup hype. Oh I won't, that takes all the fun out. But I know it's a way more advanced dsp so why not. I think I'll just get this: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12251_JBL-GT5-A604.html and run everything off it, for the sake of simplicity. God knows I need some simplicity.

I can buy a jbl ms-8 brand new for $500 It also has speaker outputs: 4 ohms: 18 watts x 8 chan. 18watts should be plenty for the tweeters? Then I could just use my current amp: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_29982_VIBE-Audio-LiteBox-Stereo-2-LiteBox2.html for the midrange. Or I could afford the JBL GT5-A604 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_12251_JBL-GT5-A604.html and have it do everything. 4 ohms: 60 watts x 4 chan. Think that's enough power for the midrange? If so, this would give me way more control then the RF 3sixty.2, and I wouldn't have to deal with buying some bluetooth adapter and connecting it to the computer.

I'll send him a pm and see if he still has them. This is going to sound rather dumb but I like how these look: Fostex FT28D 28 mm Dome Tweeter http://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/soft-dome-tweeters/fostex-ft28d-28-mm-dome-tweeter/ But yeah I'll see if Lithium still has his.
