kool. i may need to buy another pair...cuz like my right mid is making funny noises OH AND I HOPE THEY FIX THAT DANG LONG TINSEL LEAD!

I'm hoping that there a bit more shallow. This would open the market up even more and would allow the Poly's to fit in much tighter places. We'lll see soon I hope.

I did think that the weight could be an issue. So any suggestions of where to go with this? I'm a bit stumped right now.

Here is another idea I had. I checked again for the size of speakers I could use and I can go bigger than a 7". As a matter of fact, I mocked up my 8" Assasin in the door to see if it would fit. Here is a pic of the door (again) Here is Assasin up against the door. I have enough depth for the Assasin in the door. I understand that if I go this way that the door would need to be very well dampened. The door really lends itself to this process. I can take the middle portion of the door apart so I can really get the door dampened and sealed. I would have to rebuild the bottom half of the door to accomodate an 8" sub. Lucky for me the bottom portion can be seperated from the rest of the door. As for a midbass/midrange driver, I was wanting to install an AA Poly just above the sub (it would not be part of the enclosure for the sub) and the tweet would go in the top portion of the door where it meets the a-pillar. Any opinions on this setup? I know it's not the norm, but I thought I would throw the idea out on the forum and get some opinions. This would be an active setup and would be used for SQ purposes.

Noise to get rid of: It's mostly exhaust noise and also my new electric fans. I have a aftermarket cat back system with a Flowmaster muffler. I have deadened the truck with two layers of fatmat in the doors with ensolite and one layer of deadening on the floorboard for the most part ( a few parts have a second layer but not much). As far as my firewall not so much. This will have to be the place to fill. I will try that first. I was also thinking of replacing the padding on the floorboard with aftermarket jute or Thermozite. This stuff looks much better than the factory jute. http://www.yourautotrim.com/carpetpadding.html. Maybe a layer of ensolite on top of that may help also.

I spoke with Chad over an e-mail early this morning. Everything seems to be going good and he expects that his new products will be out in less than a month. I guess the July 4th date is about right.

Bummer

What the hell would a 7-way speaker consist of. Pretty slick thread though.

I guess this means no.

I'm looking to reduce a bit of the noise from under the hood. Can I use raamat BXT or secondskin's Damplifier underneath the hood for this application. Also, is there anything else that I could use or should along with one of those products. This is for my GMC Sierra 04. Thanks guys!!

Would love to read a review of the audible differences on the two Gladius with and without the Burr Brown Chip.

Just wondering if anyone has had any updates about the release of AA's new line. I know that the projected date is around July 4th, but I also know that things change. Thanks.

I would highly recommend the ZedGladius. I own the Draconia that runs my front stage: 2 Pair AA POly's and pair of CDT Tweets. There is plenty of power for the setup and I'm sure will be more than enough for your components. The Gladious offers a bit more power per channel than the Draconia and still has great active crossover flexibility. If your looking for great SQ I would recommend the Burr Brown Chip. Well worth the money. G ood Luck!!!

Is this SQ just for when you watching movies or does it sound just a good with music?

I don't have a pic right now, But the factory speakers in the dash are 4". They are tucked at the corners of the windshield like most vehicles that have speakers in that location. Does that help?

I do have an opening deep in the dash. Do you think this could be a possible locationfor a mid or tweet. I do understand that I won't get the perfect setup by just theorizing what would be best location till I mock the speakers up. Any suggestions as far a actual speakers in the sizes I mentioned?

Great looking subs and specs. All the best with the ICON. Define tly something I will consider in the future.

Great pics and nice truck. I have an 04 Sierra Ext Cab. What do you have running it. 4.8, 5.3L. An y mods to the engine?

I just e-mailed Steve and told him the same exact thing. ALL ZED AUDIO in the Altima. Weird

Good numbers, especially for the condition of the box.

I was thinking of putting them next to the door handles. Above the Midbass and below the tweets. A cutout and glassing would be involved. What do you think?

This is what I have to work with. I don't think I can fit an 8" woofer in the stock location. A 7" would be much more realistic. The mid would go just to the right of the door handle (no bigger than a 4" mid) and the tweet on the black section by the side view mirror. At least that's my thought process as of know. As far as the sound I'm looking for...Total SQ with natural dynamic sound (nothing too harsh sounding). I'm not a fan of the titanium tweets as they sound to harsh for my likeing. I listen to mostly acoustic type stuff with the occasional alternative rock, so great midbass is critical. I don't want to spend more than $500-600 on the front stage. As always, I'm open to suggestion as far as setup and speakers. As far a powering this front stage, I will most likely be doing some kind of Zed Audio setup. Thanks!!!

I might be able to. The three way set up was gonna involve a mod to the door panel anyway. I would love to run an 8" up front. What do you have in mind M5///? I think I will post some pics of the doors soon to see what people may suggest. This will give a visual perspective that can give a better view of where I'm coming from. I'm also willing to run everything active.

I know this subject has been hit several times, I'm looking to do a three way front stage in my wife's altima. I was thinking of doing the Dynaudio Esotec 342 (yes I know that's pretty pricy). I like the configuration of the setup though. 7" woofer 3" midrange and (big) 1" tweet. This will not probably happen for a few months, but I'm doing some research now to know what I'm getting into. Is there anything else out there that may be in the same ball park as the Dynaudio or better for the price. I would greatly appreciate the advice from some of you expierianced SQ guys. Thanks. I will have more question soon.

OK. That's good to hear. When I talked to him several months ago, he told me that everything should be viewable. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this issue. Thanks Denim.
