Check out Bodybuilding.com That site is an excellent source of information. Also their forum is great and the store is excellent. It all comes down to: determination, diet, excercise

I am not sure either if your amplifiers output will be reduced under 20hz. Use test tones and measure the ouput of the amp under 20hz to see if output is reduced. I would measure the amplifiers output using a dvm set to ac volts.

If you are using your subwoofer in a sealed enclosure then a subsonic filter is not needed.

Here is my review of the ZED Audio RA. Not the most technical but should give you and idea of it's function and performance. Pics of RA, amp and sub.

3-4 cars? I have been trying to finish 1 for well over a year...

Keep me posted, for sure. I have a little daily setup in my car now but hopefully by mid 2012 I will be finished installing a little something more.

Here are some useful videos that may help you decide what electrical upgrades are needed for your vehicle.

Jealous of your M3a

Here are enclosure specs and a few designs for the DCON 12 Unless a sub is solely designed for sealed enclosure I always go ported for the added bump in efficiency. Available space for an enclosure is also something to consider.

Rockford Fosgate 3SIXTY.3 Going active next year and I am stoked for this upcoming processor. Hopefully the autotune is phenomenal. Not too much has been released about that. The manual adjustments are plentiful to say the least. After they work out the bugs it should be released. Ready for autotune/manual with RTA? These videos were posted in 1.11

Rumored SA v.2's will come around next year. From what I read, new Sundown exclusive tooled baskets and bump in power handling. The stitched surrond as well but that is on later v.1's too. Wonder if the Sundown patents have anything to do with sa v.2...... I maybe wrong on some or all of the above. All I do know is SA-12 v.2's are going in my car next!

Your ingenuity to curve the plexi is priceless.

Unless you can space out the exodus and mount it on the sheet metal, I don't see it happening in the doors, so heavy What ever happened to your other door pods you built, those were sick. Ehh those pods did come out sweet but they were alot bigger than what I had imagined they would be. Good to know man.

For sure man. I plan on using a JL XD400/4 for the tweets/mids and another XD400/4 bridged for the midbass.

I am kinda stuck on using the Exodus and I have no need for passive x-overs. Thanks though Sir-Lancelot. I am not "stuck" on HAT stefahinote, just another option. Well I am quickly seeing that the way I wanted to go about this install isnt the best. I am considering building kick pods Dont want to though. If I do Morel EM 428's would work.

The SA v.2's will be worth the wait

I wanna see 1/4 mile times! Prolly no traction...

I will be doing minor 'glass work to the door to fit the mid. I will also have to 'glass the sail panel for the tweet. I want to use the Exodus EX 6.5" since I already have them but if there is a better midbass I will consider it. I already 'glassd 1" tweets in the sail panels for my current install. I plan on redoing the sail panels with different tweets and better aiming. I had built ported pods for my Exodus EX 6.5" but I decided I want to keep the midbass behind the door panel. I bought new door panels. The midbass will be in the stock location. The midrange will be high in the door near the sail panel. Here is a pic of the stock door.

This driver is too large for my ideal mounting location. I do not want to 'glass kicks either. Thanks for your input!

Hmm, interesting note on the tweet Duane, thanks. I registered with techtalk yesteryday. I need to browse through it and read the topic you mentioned.

Very cool pics man!

I am in the process of selecting drivers for a 3-way active setup in my car. I drive a small four door sedan. My design goal is to achieve a realistic soundstage. I will not be using rear fill. I will be using two 12" subwoofers for the substage. For processing duties I will be using a JBL MS-8. I had tossed the idea of using HLCD's but I realize that that maybe more difficult than what I have the patience for I do not have time to 'glass kick pods or build crazy door pods. So the install of these drivers will be somewhat simple but I realize that I may need to do a little fabrication. All drivers will be aimed accordingly. But generally this is where the placement will be: Tweeter - sail panels Vifa NE19VTS-04 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter Midrange - upper door Morel MDM 55 2-1/8" Soft Dome Midrange Midbass - lower door DIY Cable Exodus EX 6.5" I choose the Vifa NE19VTS-04 3/4" Silk Dome Tweeter based on price, specifications (mainly freq response and power handling) and size. I choose the Morel MDM 55 2-1/8" Soft Dome Midrange mostly due to size and power handling. I need a small midrange but I want it to be able to handle +50wrms too. I already have the midbass drivers that I will be using, DIY Cable Exodus EX 6.5". What do you think of my selection for tweeter and midrange? Will this be a good matching 3-way setup?
