The P9 setup will definately be cheaper, however, this install is not exactly budget-friendly. $2k in amplification, another $1K in drivers and yadda yadda, you get the point. As far as my dislike for Pioneer, they have always been too much flash for me. Granted the P9 is a different breed altogether, but that is just my feeling as a whole on Pioneer. So far, the Pio looks as if it will be in the car as I may have some problems with the processor on the Behringer between heat and vibration. My car is setup for Autocross so the suspension isn't exactly "soft" if you know what I mean.

Man, I have such bad luck shipping stuff lately. I guess it's time to just pawn everything.

I'm gonna threaten to take my account elsewhere. Like they give a $hit.

Dude, that route is just all F UCKED up!

WHAT THE F ARE THEY DOING???

*twiddles thumbs* Hey, I still haven't received that package back yet. Try tracking it with that number I gave you to see if that works.

I'd vent the JL first, then go from there.

You'll find out someday.

what's this new mystery amp??? Mystery ampS. You'll never guess. Nobody will. Well, one person knows, but I needed his advice as he's the resident expert.

Not totally. THe Behringer gives me almost an endless amount of processing available. No need to install a laptop in the car. All I need is access to a serial port and I can simply plug into it. Then all I have to do is tune, set the memory and I'm done. The slopes, filters, Q settings, pretty much everything is infinitely adjustable on the Behringer. I can even select what type of filters I want. Only thing holding me back is the lack of a good 12V PS for it so far. I have a lock on one, but it won't be available for at least a month.

Got my RAN for for the Quarts today. Bye Bye MB, hello . . . . . . . .

Impedance is going to have as much impact in a sealed app. The musical signal going to the amp is going to be the big determining factor here. With tones, he'll be close to producing max power, but with the varying music, it's never constant.

Also keep in mind, the driver will probably never see the full output, nor will the amp likely produce it.

IT will be hidden in the trunk. All adjustments will be made via the laptop for the Behringer. As for the Pioneer, the HU would be hidden behind the stock radio. You may deem this tacky, I like stealth.

12 volt PS.

My biggest concern with the Behringer is the heat and vibration when car mounted. That and a good power supply is not yet available. I'm strongly leaning towards the Pioneer, yet this extreme disgust I have for Pioneer HUs is holding me back.

Freeze Plugs!

Much of GMs parts are made in Canada or MExico. You'll find this all over your car. I don't remember the exact year GM made the daytime runners standard, but that's almost a guaranteed sign your vehicle is made for Canadian roads if it has this feature. It's Canadian law so all vehicles were mandated to have them by a certain model year. It may also just be an option carried over from the police vehicles as the blocks are the same as well as the chassis. That would be my best though.

Block heater takes the place of a freeze plug. you should be able to get under the vehicle and observe the wire going into the block, towards the back just under the header. Do you know what a freeze plug is or where it goes? IF it came from the Northeast, there's a good chance it may even be a Canadian build in which this is a necessity. Does it have daytime running lights?

First off, the new D2s will be less than $500. Why don't you try venting the W6 first off. They are great woofers and even with low power, a vented enclosure should be more than enough for that particular vehicle. Work with what you have first and if that does not satisfy you, then you can upgrade. I'm a big fan of trying to get the best sound with the least amount of power. It's better for the equipment and easier for the budget and elctrical system.

BRILLIANT!

The DCX-2496. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/pshowdetl.c...tnumber=248-669 I don't care about looks, none of my stuff will be visible.

Does it do this with any volume level?

IT shows clipping even with the sub making no sound?
