Sunday night I had tickets to U2 at the Wacovia center in Philadelphia. Amanda had never been there, and since we are about 2 hours in traffic (1:25 at night no traffic). Keep in mind we took her civic DX, and I was fairly reserved in my driving which is a change. But anyway, since she had never been there I thought it would be a great experience to go up early and walk around town and see a few places before the concert. We got a later start than planned but, we walked well over 4 miles around down town. As you will see in the following pictures that the weather was awesome. We went through much of the historic distric and had a great lunch outside, I love takeing her to places she has never been to. We went into some nice shops, but much of town was closed due to it being sunday, but that kinda kept the crowds to a minimum which you can see. You will see the grave yard where the boy from the movie The Sixth Sense was seen, along with the Liberty Bell, a sweet lunch, city hall, independance hall (part of National Treasure was shot there), a Lotus Elise, the center for performing arts, and a down the street shot in the arts district. I am sorry for some of quality of the pictures, I was fighting with the light a little at the begining, but ended up pushing everything auto because I was more worried about having a nice time instead of trying to get the perfect picture. So these are more or less snap shots from the day walking around downtown, enjoy.

I figured that is what I would hear, I was just hoping that if I gave specific requirments that one sub would notch out the other for the given application. maybe I should just toss a coin. talk to Mike, I am sure he can help in your decision

that depends on what assocation you would enter

I thiink the 8 project would be sweet as hell, but money involved I would get pair of RL-i 10s for the time being and save up for the RL-s, if you will have a job soon then maybe take the risk on the RL-s money,

As always I will say Orion 1200D or Kicker 1200.1, you really dont need that much power and could go down to an Orion 8002 and run it 4 ohms mono, the new MBQuart 1k mono block or their large 2 channel would fit well also for a great price, if you could find an RF 1051, that would send good power (4ohms mono)

5 magnets? wow, crap who cares about weight at this point if your stepping up for an RL-s performance of the sub is the #1 factor

I think it would be beastly to have an RL-i as a computer sub, I wish I could do it myself, but my Harmon Kardon set up has the controls on the sub houseing and it is not a normal enclosure

welcome to the site, and maybe you should check out the RL-i video mike posted up here, pretty impressive for the little amount of power they are getting

holy crap!! Explorer for sale!!!!!!!!!!

Kent has dibs on first SPL sponsership, and I have dibs on first show car sponsership

the 3 8's would be a wild install, but in over all output the 2 12's will get damn loud

I was thinking of selling them at shows and competitions that way all I have to pay for is gas to the show and Banners to attract customers

personally I would try the RL-i 10, I just checked the chart Mike put up on the website and the repsonse should be very flat across the board, which is very good for SQ, if not the RL-i 8 would be my second choice, once again, customer service puts SoundSplinter in front, ID is pretty good, but Mike is the best, plus plenty of people have ID, (dont get me wrong, the ID8 is a very capble driver, I just feel the RL-i drivers are built a little heartier

I miss my demo time with the proto

my hope is to run dual tweets, but they would be right next to each other

that is a really good prize, did you tell Mike?

I like the idea of the Koda's upfront, but to save some loot and space I would run a Kicker or Orion 7005(.5) (if not look at the SX 5 channel, sick IMO) and an RL-p 12 or RL-i 10's or you would love the MAG, the power would be plenty from the amp and the Kodas should rock with it

keep it to start with and maybe try sealed and back the gains down a hair then

it was one of the nicest high end HU's in the past that had a good laser and was 24Bit with a 4v out put I believe

Ryan and Nick laid it out well, not much I can add other than experience, when I bought my sled it was a garage queen that saw day light on weekends and the occasional drive by the owners wifey, I kept it covered for pretty much the first 2 months I had it, until the Explorer snapped trannies again and I was suddenly forced to use the car as a daily driver, other than the initial tune up and compete fluid change and total look over by a top MB mechanic, I did nothing (other than buy $$$ tires) to the car to adjust to the 32k miles it recieved over the following year and a half, I say find some cheap 15" wheels and use them as your year round wheel and just swap tires on and off

You're still short on cash if you're talking about the McClaren. It has 3 seats 1 seat. The lemans version has only 1 seat but the road version has 3 Ralph Lauren has 2 or 3 I think

hence the reason I said it was not my favorite

it looks wild, but different enough

PM me with what you want to change it too
