Looking good. Thanks for the up close shots of the DD "Z" motor. I had never seen one up close like that. Very interesting, no top plate huh.

Mini vacations are always better. Wish Dani a happy b-day from us. We'll see you in October. Awesome! Glad to hear everything got straightened out.

Don't know when the new season starts, but good luck with the rebuild.

Congrats!

You make it look too easy to have such a sweet ride. Looks very nice. Congrats bro.

Yay, another satisfied customer.

Don't be afraid to run that anarchy-ex, what ever the hell they call it, up to 3k. I heard them in a mazda 3 once. The mids were in the doors and the tweeters in the sail panel, uh the little corner of the door by the mirror. Anyways, the set sounded great, and got plenty loud. The owner of the car was toggling the crossover point from 1.5k up to 3k and it sounded real good. Granted he was running Morel Piccolo tweeters, but if your willing to pay for the focal 4" co-ax, the Piccolos might be viable. the midrange and mid-bass were great. He was running a Pioneer PRS880, or something like that, but an Alpine 9887 will do the job. By the way good job on finding matching plaid shorts and slip on shoes.

Sounds like a fun adventure you're on. I would say focus on getting the best processor you can afford first. That'll let you tinker with what you got. I run MS8s and love them. I'm dying to try a BitOne. I know you are looking at 3"-4" full-rangers, but try taking a look at similar sized co-ax speakers. Having that tweeter will help with the top end and bring you a little height. JL and Image Dynamics sell some nice ones. I'm cheap and have had good luck with the Powerbass "S" series of co-ax speakers. They have a nice silk dome tweeter on them. Good luck with your venture. Keep us posted on how it goes.

Spend a day or two in the IHOP and you can accomplish it very quick im sure. Lol Haha, I guess I should have moseyed on in there long time a go. Thanks. Glad I finally made it.

20 IB3s! Geezuz!

Ha, I was actually waiting for this:

I figured I'd go out of my way and do something silly for my 1000th post. Honestly this is a feat that I thought I'd never accomplish. I had always been into car audio. With the advent of Ebay and me having steady income I was able to afford some of the JL pieces I had been eyeing since the mid 90's. After a while if running the JL stuff I decided to step up my game. I just bought a house and finally had a garage to work in. I did general searches on the net for big subwoofers and high power subwoofers. I would get returns for a "REXXX" sub. It took me a while to figure out that this "REXXX" sub was actually an RE audio XXX. Realizing that I joined a forum. The first forum I joined was the Sound Illusions board, if you can remember that far back. It was an exciting time for me regarding car audio. I was reading about the Adire Brahma, the RE MT and the infamous TC Sounds Uber Woofer. I was able to pick up some like new Atlases through the forum. It was fun posting there, but it all ended when Sound Illusions went offline. I was bummed. It seemed I re-entered the car audio scene at a transition period for the industry. It was a few months later, I was doing a general search for Ascendant Audio on the net that I came across this forum. I joined immediately. I felt I was back on track with my audio adventures. Over the years I've been able to share what little knowledge I have and been able to learn a whole lot more. I've had the pleasure of chatting with insiders and with loyal hobbyist. I've even gotten the chance to meet some great people in person. It's been a great ride so far, lets see what the next 1000 post bring. How about you guys, how'd you come about joining the forum and how has it affected your interest in the hobby?

Bump to the top. This show is right around the corner. Who am I gonna see there.

Ha, I always wondered why I got a dark grey logo on my IB3s. You're right about the stealth look, I call it the Grand National edition.

You should be fine. If you want a little added insurance you can spring for the BP option. That should give you additional cooling around the voice coil. Sounds like an interesting project, keep us posted on how it works out for you.

Cool beans. Definitely tuned in for this one.

Hey there friend. Glad to see you around.

Voted, good luck friend.

Voted BIGJON. Trunk cars approaching 150 on the TL definitely benefit and showcase the use of sound deadener. Good luck bro.

Haven't we crossed paths before? Hey there bro, welcome to the forum. You going to the Fry's show in November? I'll be there.

My prayers and condolences go out to those affected by the fires. The air here is thick with haze and the smell of burnt grass. Bits of ash are floating around. It's surreal. If there are any forum members in need of help, don't hesitate to post or send a PM. God speed.

Looks like Mickey Mouse, probably sounds like the Incredible Hulk though. Good work man, congrats. Now lets see pics of the plexi in place.

Yay for Ohjay! Happy birthday bro!

Bigger diodes aren't going to help if the stator and rotor aren't up to the job. Here is a good read on whats going on with an alternator. Understanding Alternator Current Output Good Luck.

Excellent work man. Loving the ol' time-ie faucet valve handles. I've been out of the hydro seen for a while so I'm not sure how popular they are now a days. Seeing those on yours "reminds me of a time not so long ago when things were simpler." A little line I picked up from Zombieland. I'm such a dork. Cool build though, f@cking cool build. Congrats.
