Welcome to the IHoP
SuperStreet 1-2 Looks like a fun new home for me to come back into SPL. Highest score currently is just above 168, highest score in the US is like 162dB's. Looks like fun, I wonder if they are using smaller or larger vehicles.

Welcome to the IHoP
I'd like to see you beat a hemi. I have one you could race. A srt-8 300. If you beat that you can take on the Viper.

Focal or Boston acoustics
Did you hear them in a car or on a sound board?

Subwoofers + Convertibles = ?
Depending on the way the top fits in the trunk, it can be no different or completely different than a normal trunk install. When the top is down, you will hear much less bass, but either way spl is not going to happen with a soft-top. My best friend has a 2005 Roush Mustang Stage 1 convertible. It is deplorable with the top down. But he has a mustang, probably the worst car (even the non-convertible) for subwoofers. I would emphasize a strong midbass choice for your doors or consider running a much larger driver in your doors like an 8" midbass. You can put subs in the trunk, every car is different.

Welcome to the IHoP
www.pcmforless.com 250+ shipping for a tune Have to send in my PCM (Down time) to avoid crank relearn If I don't send in my PCM I have to do crank relearn when I get it back ($50 probably) $50 for future tuning upgrades ehhh There should be plenty of tuners down there for ls based truck motors. I'm surprised you have only found too. Have you looked into companies like Texas-Speed? http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/item.asp?i...=79&catid=4 They are in Wolfforth Texas. Only 9.5 hours away lol. There a good company though. I'll probably be orderring from them sometime I love their products. Have gotten a cam set or two from there. My buddy wanted a little more moving motivation for his truck. I can't remember all of the parts we have gotten from there, but I have loved them ever since I heard a magic stick 3 cammed LS1 Camaro at a drag strip.

what would be a good comp setup
my bad it took me so long to answer this haha. Have not looked at this in a few weeks. $$ is really no issuse. I will spend what ever is needed to get the best setup. Right now i have 4 small 200watt 2 channel amps that put out max power at 4ohms 100wattx2 i wont be powering anything off of the headunit. Im putting it in a 2000 dodge caravan so i have pretty much a crap load of space. Im looking for a good set of 6x9 3ways or 5ways at least 4 prob gonna put in 8 of them. Good tweets i have 4 kicker 1/2" right now but looking to upgrade. And i need either 2 or 4 good 5 1/4" 3ways for the dash basicly im just trying to figure out what brands would be good to go with i heard MB quartz was good as well as focal and soundstreem. Im just trying to figure out what other people think would be good that they have personaly heard brand wise for SQ componet setups. Im trying to get something that can compeat with my 2 BTL 18"s so i can actully hear the music over the bass lol. Yay, I get to play bad guy. You aren't going to get a "sq set up" that will compete with your BTL's period. Since you said SQ, you are going to want Large midbass, efficient mid-range and horn-tweeters. The idea behind having the large mid-bass is that you can set your low pass on your subs really low for daily. Basically making your subs cover the sub 40hz range only. The BTL's are still loud, so you are going to have to use the headunit or the gain itself to turn them down some. My suggestion since cost isn't an object is Hybrid Audio Legatia L8 and L4 and Image Dynamics horn tweets. The L8's would go in your doors, feeding each L8 200 watts would be a good place to start. The L4's would go in the kicks and you are going to want to find an experienced horn installer to install and tune your horns. You will only need ~17 watts per horn. haha yeah i kinda figured that the btls would drown out pretty much any kind of frontstage but worth a shot i would still like it to be louder tho Just a hint, when it comes to Front stage, more speakers does not = louder.

Welcome to the IHoP
Would it be worth it for me to start planning for SBN soon? I would really like to go and compete, I have to build a car, decide how I'm getting it down there, get hotel reservations, possibly flight arrangements as well.

linking 3 SAZ-3000's
jacob are your 4 amps straped or one for each sub? In the truck ? They are strapped with a Maxx-Link - each pair strapped @ 1 ohm to a pair of subs (1/2 ohm each amp). You know you voided your warranty doing that. Eh, warranty. He don't need no stinking warranty. I strapped my saz-1500d's to a .35 dcr ohm load once just for s*#%s and giggles and it survived it like a champ.

Wiring my 1500d

7) Can I use the BR IN and BR OUT connectors for daisy chaining amps? Do they work like regular outputs? - 4/21/08 NO, they can not be used as regular outputs for daisy chaining amps. DO NOT do this. The BR OUT if to be connected to the BR IN of a slave amp, when strapped, ONLY. DO NOT put signal INTO the BR OUT connector. Here you jump on the man , then post what's in the sticky ....... Bad ju ju man Yea, makes sense, I was too busy being immature.

Welcome to the IHoP
Still awaiting new baskets for the production version. The mini-run 8's should get going here this week, I hope. cool, If i'm still on the list. I can't wait. ----------------------------------------------- Same topic Dr. Johnson is funny. I'm somehow immature, because I got mad at someone posting against my E-Integrity.

Welcome to the IHoP
It's just frustrating when someone posts merely to be stupid and raise their post count. I almost feel like spamming. I'd like to be in the top 20 posters, I'm currently 32nd.

Welcome to the IHoP
Yeah boy Not to bring up a sore subject, but any updates on the bad news? 90 minutes... bad news???? I feel totally out of the loop, lol. And if I get reported for my post preceding this one, I don't care. I hate people thinking they know it all and trying to discredit me when I'm trying to help and their only input is that my link was not helpful (even though it was) and that I apparently didn't read the OP, even though I answered his question.

Maybe you should learn how to read. In that FAQ I linked, it actually answered his question about daisy chaining amps. Now you can get off of your high horse thinking you caught me making a mistake. I'm not the bad guy here, I was trying to help, you didn't need to attempt to discredit what I said to make yourself look bigger. And you had nothing to add to his post, you did not help answer his question and your post was Completely Unnecessary. The best solution have for him is to use RCA splitters. http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseac...Product_ID=6311
