Welcome to the IHoP
SO, I just got done watching Transformers 2, and Isabelle Lucas was SMOKING FUCKING HOT in that movie! Why does she not always look like this. Hell, I'd take her over Megan Fox anyday if she looked like she did in the movie.

Subwoofers in Doors
First off, body work has nothing to do with being a structural engineer. Your cousin may be good and may know his shit, but it won't be his body work skills that will make your door function. It will be his engineering skills. As for Biggs mounting a subwoofer in the firewall, it was purely psycho acoustics. The judges know there is a sub up there, so they think it has great upfront bass. A lot of competitors are keen to this, and with Sound Quality being so subjective in judging, it's best to work all angles. Also, Biggs car is NOT A DRIVER. It's strictly for competition/show, so it hardly relates. Think about this. Do you really want an extra 30lbs of metal flying at you in an accident? I've seen cars get smashed in the ass and have the audio equipment come flying through the trunk and cause some major carnage, so just thing what would happen with that amp and sub flying out of your door, and NO, there is no possible way you are going to build something strong enough to prevent the force from impact sending them flying. If you could, you wouldn't be able to open the door. Also keep this in mind. The vehicle's structure is designed as a whole. You may be able to build the hinges to support the door, but with a unibody, everything works in conjunction. You take the stress off the hinge, you're putting more on the mount, then more on the plate, then more on the bolt, then more on the pillar, then more on the cowl. I think you can see my point. That would be a woofer, not a SUBwoofer. It plays midbass, not subbass. Woofer, subwoofer, it's all relative. I have Mach 5 6.5" WOOFERS in my doors, but they reach into the subbass region. Does that mean they are subwoofers only? They are running wide open on the top end and I have range in the upper end of 2K, so technically, they are subwoofers, woofers, midranges, and tweeters. Hell, even "subwoofers" are capable of producing frequencies well above what they are intended to reproduce. I know what you are trying to convey here, but what's typed is incorrect. Probably, but I know many a competitor whom know not what they are doing, so it's futile. Hell, I've seen "judges" whom know not what they do. That's the most ridiculous thing about "sound quality" competition. It's still being judged by a human. It's such a flawed system, it's pointless. I've sat in a few cars that have been IASCA champion cars, and some of them have sounded like absolute shit to me. It's about a pointless as a Ford vs. Chevy debate (even though the intellectual person knows Ford is far superior).

Happy 31st to Ryan!
Thanks to everyone!

Welcome to the IHoP
The only x-over's I've seen on stock sound systems are capacitors on the tweeter. The mid is playing full-range. Some of Fords' "premium" systems have EQ and Xover functions built into the amplifiers or outboard processors. All of their Mach systems are like this.

The drive was fine, but the work was screwed up. After 7 hours of tracing wires we determined the ADT alarm was causing the air movers not to turn on. So was called the alarm company and they send a guy out who has no idea about the system since it's so old, so he just starts pressing buttons and magically everything works again. The best part was loading my truck where the hinge broke on the tailgate glass. Took 30 minutes just to get the damn thing closed again. By this time, it was single digits and the lake effect was starting to kick in.

How to recognize a good SQ amplifier?
Just buy the most expensive one you can afford. Then, even if it sounds like shit, it will still be the best since it cost the most. That is the only thing that makes "audiophiles" believe they have golden ears.

I need one of those too to hook up my omnifi.

MP3Gain
It will fix it. It literally takes seconds.

MP3Gain
I've used this for YEARS and I LOVE IT! It will remove clipping, normalize, and a few other things as well. Great program, especially considering it's free.

Ohm Load On A Amp
I wouldn't go that far. The one's that were were labeled for high current and generally had a switch. Most were rated for 4 ohms mono and anything under that nominal figure was pushing it. Of course old school to me is late 80s/early-to-mid 90s.

At best, it will go into protection. At worst, damage.

You'd be correct. His other SN is Dub26s or some shit like that.

Now that makes a lot of sense. . . . I have a 400HP car; does that mean I always have to use that 400HP? No. I have a gun; does that mean I should just go out and shoot it? No. I have the ability to ban people from posting; does that mean I should only be banning?

No that means he did something right if he can keep all that sound in his car. People like you and everyone else who thinks there system is made for others to hear and not themselves are the one's who are ruining car audio for the rest of us. You need to respect others privacy and not let them hear your system, it is yours to hear and not theres if that was the case then everybody would have a system. We are respectful, that is why we dont like it. A pucking Men! X3......Welcome to SSA wow you guys are running 3000 and 7000 watts and its only for your ears.Hard to believe you dont crank it up at a red light. It's called maturity. How would you feel if you come home from a long day at work and want to go to sleep and some jack ass comes by the house bumping his shit and rattles your ass awake? How would you feel if you're sitting at a stop light with your child and some jack ass comes up bumping his shit and it scares the hell out of your kid? Think about others as well as yourself.
