I responded on ecoustics, saying to build first, buy new subs second.

You know my vote, but the three you choose are very good for your goals.

I am slightly confused, maybe I need more coffee before detailed topics such as this.

Ok good. Sorry, I have lost track of Alpine units. I have ventured into Pioneer for the scooter, but I will stick with my trusted eclipse for a while. (Unless I find Denon or top end Nak's for cheap)

nucell01, if you don't mind me asking, why are you stressing ported? I am not saying its bad at all, just wondering since you said you were new to ported and you have very nice door speakers.

If Dave and Webster lay it down in the finals, that will be insane. Yay for the little sub that could, err I mean sounds good.

That is insane. I hope to build a line array in the future, but probably not at that scale.

Welcome to SSA, sounds like a seriously loud set up so far. Start a new topic, tell us about your build plans and front stage.

After some discussion by the mod team, I re-directed all RSS/review feeds into the Audiojunkies section, along with moving all topics in there. So now the review section is back to only member reviews!! So if you have an old review, post it up. If you have a new product or a recent product you are using, post up a review. Reviews by members are some of the best tools to learn about a product by someone who does not work for, rep for, or fan boy for a company. Get to it!

Size of cone does not dictate frequency response. But if you have room for 7 cubes, and Fi suggests it, the design should be impressive. I usually prefer less drivers.

Looks great, my friend had serious transmission problems with his.

Ouch on the camera.

Looks like fun!

The picture of the 4 drivers and the amps is sweet.

Arnold was unreal, he worked harder then anyone else.

I use the elliptical / pre-core / stationary bike machines the most, when in the gym.

Fender arrived this morning. I have to go to the scrapyard this weekend and cut a quarter panel apart for a patch panel, then fix the door, and it'll be ready for paint. Once I get it painted, I think I'm going to take a trip to the local Bimmer spot and see how close I can get to the 135i with the Cobra and V6. I would love the 128i, not sure I want to deal with a turbo car again for a while. what is the downside or turn off on turbo's for you. Over the years, it was heat or part failure. But I have not had the money or friends that owned a recent vehicle that was turbo. Don't get me wrong, I helped work on a few Audi/VW 1.8T's and got some nice power out of them, but power delivery was not that linear. Way back when, my Merkur's engine block could take all the forced induction you could afford, but the heat under hood was always an issue.

I would love the 128i, not sure I want to deal with a turbo car again for a while. I just wish they had one in stock so I can actually see how big the damn thing is. I would like a sedan for the extra two doors, but I just need something with a larger trunk that I can fit all my tools in and still have room for a stroller or something. The Mustang has no trunk. I can get my tools in there now, but nothing else. I've been looking at this, but not so sure I want to give up two cars for it., and I don't particularly care for the saddle interior. http://www.mccormicksb.com/rdmcmotors_578.htm That is the car we bought for Amanda, except forest metallic green and darker tan interior then the one you linked. Very solid car, rides, corners, and cruises smoothly. Not sure it will have enough forward thrust for your tastes, because I know I wish ours did. The I-6 will do you solid and run awesome. I kind want a 6 speed 530i, but I don't need that large a car at this point. So used manual 330i wagon is on the top of the list for me.

The A7 s a schweet amp.

On this day in 1992, Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev returned to Earth after a 10-month stay aboard the Mir space station. In 1979, the first fully functional space shuttle orbiter (Columbia) was delivered to the John F. Kennedy Space Center to be prepared for its first launch. In 1958, Canada's Avro Arrow made its debut flight. In 1655, Saturn's largest moon (Titan) was discovered by Christian Huygens.

Ryan, are you going to fix the V6?

ND is one of the 2 states I have not been to yet.

I am not sure on how the companies rate their products, but it seems one is suggesting you run the non-audio electrical parts of the stock unit, and run the audio separate of the vehicle electronics, while the other is saying run 4 of high output. I think it is a position of do you need or feel you need the current of 4 non-dedicated high output alts, or 3 dedicated high output alts? As for batteries, powermaster seem to be doing well, deka's are good per dollar. I have had good luck with SVR's, but I am not sure what is available on the islands. But I don't think swapping out batteries with out increasing the number of them will make that much of a difference.
